Classic white mini on Worsley Bridge Road, Beckenham this morning

Austin Mini with steel wheels? I see it often and it makes me miss my Cooper so much..

If it's that one, it's owned by an older lady who uses it as her daily, I love it!

Old “K” plate, think it was a mini clubman - youngish blond girl driving

Ah not that one then, equally cool though.

The Merc is one I forgot from the other day... and the Rolls is one I see pretty regularly.

What plates are that M-B wearing - look E European? Assume it's US spec w/ those hideous bunpers.

Drove past a house in Ulting earlier that had a Ferrari 360, several Bentley's of various ages & similar era Benz S Class this morning.

Cayman GT4 in Danbury shortly afterwards.

I think someone mentioned to me when I tweeted it that they're export plates from somewhere in Europe, and expired too. It looks like it had been sat there for a while.

There aren't many registrations in Europe which use hyphens and the NN-LL-NN format is a big clue.
It is a Netherlands one issued between 1973 and 1978 - http://www.licenseplatemania.com/landenpaginas/ned...
Confirmation that it is an export plate - https://business.gov.nl/regulation/vehicle-export/

Danbury again today & a huge late '60's / early '70's Cadillac passing through - slightly lowered & looked great.

Thanks for the clarification!

A Gallardo Spyder yesterday evening, and a Huracan today (all those Lamborghinis.... I see less Limited Edition Corsas! ) Also, a last gen Vantage (looked lowered) on the A127 heading London bound, and coming back the other way I saw a new Vantage. Also saw an S3 E-Type roadster, and a yellow Ferrari 348/355 GTS (couldn't see which as it was on the other side of the barrier.

On the road to Stock black/cherry(?) Vantage drop-top

[lukeharding]

A Ferrari 458 on the A127 and then a McLaren 720S shortly after.

Also an i8 spider at the Halfway House at lunchtime, and then what looked very much like a Radical on the A127!

A red S2 Elise on the A127 this morning

[TCEvo]

A12 nr. Hatfield Peveral & what I think was a First Gen GMC Sonoma (Chevy S10) pick-up, looked surprisingly small for a US truck; cool though - in black & slightly lowered. Little earlier & an Aston DB11 on Dukes Park Industrial Estate in Chelmsford.

S2 Elise for me as well today - grey one, coming off the Army & Navy roundabout into town.

[lukeharding]

On the A127 not too long ago - passenger photos hence the quality!

Car transporter on the M25 shipping to five lucky new owners. Guess the sixth has been a naughty boy and gets the Panda !!

[TCEvo]

I much prefer that Gen of Panda's to the Masser's

Another Aston DB11 (Volante this time) and a huge great Ford F-250 pick-up in centre of Chelmsford so far today, the F-250 sounded like a diesel train pulling away from the lights.

[lukeharding]

Imagine if the Panda was their new courtesy car

See lots of American pick ups at the moment. Some new but most are nineties with modifications..

[TCEvo]

Or if all the "Masser's" were actually early Panda's under fancy covers...

I can confirm from the parts prices that they've charged me recently that they're not However, the quality of the new wheels I had was probably similar...
