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...
Black TR6 in Heybridge earlier today & a little later back in Chelmsford an Infiniti Q60 convertible - don't think I've ever seen one of those; did a double take as I thought it was a Lexus SC430.

a MkII Fiesta XR2 (few of them left)
It's strange huh? As you remember with the proximity of Dunton/Basildon/Warley/Brentwood/Dagenham and the huge number of Ford employees with access to the discount scheme these things were everywhere, I seem to recall they accounted for around 20% of all Fiesta sales at the time.My favourite was the XR2-40 - a local dealer special in blue with the 7-spoke RS wheels. I wonder if any survive after the Scrappage Scheme cull?

They were v. popular. I had a v. clean H plate XR2i in the late '90's - didn't have PAS, which was a pain as I had to park it in a tight spot behind an office at the time.
I had an XR2 a couple of years ago. Someone had spent a fortune on having the interior re done in red leather (which actually suited it). It was a nice little car.
Saw a new Dodge Ram last night near Latchingdon, and an Austin A90 ( I think), which must have been flat out in the fast lane of the A127

Few today, all PM: white E30 Touring, black Aventador & a red Triumph Stag on Braintree Road/A131 between Braintree & Chelmsford.
In Braintree and a red Ninth Gen Ford F-150 pick-up on a house drive. Also went past this comically overgrown Allegro on Rose Hill - it's been there for years but is now almost completely hidden (not my pic):
Finally, and back in Chelmsford; a VW ID.3 - first one of those I've seen.
Edited to add, remembered that I also saw the rear of a Ferrari 360 on a drive on the outskirts of Bicknacre.

Don't know how you can tell - surely everyone has the app that adds road names to pics...
Edited to add: lots of Yank pick-ups knocking about Essex @ moment.
