The Kent & Essex Spotted Thread!

[lukeharding]

So many nice cars out on Saturday morning, but I've forgotten most of them apart from a GranTurismo, an 355 GTS and another new Defender.

Edited to add: A Lancia Delta Integrale in Martini colours.

A restomod 911 Targa out near Steeple this morning.

Beautiful red Jag E-Type S1 Coupe in Heybridge, mid-morning today & a cool, black wide-body Merc C126 yesterday afternoon in central Chelmsford.

Couple more this pm. Rover P4 in Ingatestone & another First Gen Fiat Panda in Chelmsford.

Saw a lovely silver Aston Martin DB5 this morning in Chislehurst. Gave the driver the thumbs up as I passed

[kiethton]

Another Chislehurst spot from me - Lime Green Lambo - looked like a Gallardo SL? - yesterday at about 2:45pm

[lukeharding]

Managed to get a photo of the one I saw the other week, as I saw it on the way home yesterday

Brentwood car park for that TR?

Colchester & back for me this am, saw 2x Ferrari's in the town - silver 612 & a bright blue 488, and a green Corrado - still look great.

On the way back to Chelmsford a pair of Morgan's on the A12 (which was closed north bound due to a crash - normal service's resumed).

Back in Chelmsford (a couple of cheats) another new Supra and a pair of new Defenders on respective dealers forecourts.

Most interesting though - first spot of a new Porsche Taycan (white), on the A12 this morning; looked great.

Yep Brentwood car park. Funnily enough I think I saw a Taycan last week but only a glimpse so couldn't be sure. Seen a Fiat Barchetta and a VW Camper on the A127 this afternoon.

Can't remember the last time I saw one - think I've seen today's one before though & there's defo a couple in the area. Cool things, love a go in one.

Is it just me, but it’s really strange seeing an older vehicle next to a newer one? I mean a Transit Connect isn’t massive but it makes that TR look tiny!

[lukeharding]

Funnily enough I saw an Atom parked in a lay-by on the A130 the other day, and also saw an XK150 DHC, a Gallardo Spider, a Huracan and an Aventador.

Saw these two yesterday. Maybe a bit run of the mill but I liked them.

[TCEvo]

There are a lot of newish Lambo's in Essex at the moment - between all of us they've become daily spots.

Few today so far: green Triumph GT6 on the A12 at Hatfield Peveral, a Caterham, black S2 E-Type Cab and (another) Corrado and a Fiat Coupe - they've aged really well, in Heybridge, both bright red.

Edited again to add a red TR7 Cab that I saw on the way back from Maldon - not seen one of those for a while.

Saw a Cobra between the A130 and South Woodham yesterday evening ( I think). Also a 430 Spider on the A130 this morning.

[TCEvo]

White XJ-S (with cool gold split rims) on the outskirts of SWF early evening, followed by a Tigra sporting a Knight Rider style pulsarring LED grill thing.

Earlier in the day a mean looking & sounding white Exige (maybe a 430) in central Chelmsford.

The white XJ-S was me, though the wheels are standard five spokes but with gold centres (unless there is another white XJ-S with gold wheels around!)

small world!

Wheels looked like split's at a glance - look good though - assume that one's a V12?

[irocfan]

keep on seeing a black Mitsu GTO in Billericay at home time
