The Kent & Essex Spotted Thread!

[TCEvo]

Green Escort Mk1 estate on Parkway in Chelmsford mid-pm today and yesterday morning at the Army & Navy roundabout a yellow 488 Spyder and a blue McLaren.

ETA: that GT40 would've been cool to see.

So many cool things over the weekend, and lots of classics out and about. That list includes a 6 wheel Defender towing a trailer (serious length!) near Rettendon, a blue S2 E-Type on the A12, a couple of DBX around Brentwood, a new Vantage on the A2 today.

Saw these ones today...

That XJ-C looks good, although not sure about the Minilite style wheels.

Few this morning for me: ice blue Porsche 928 in the rain on the A12 near Chelmsford, a Mk3 two door Escort and a Fiat 500 ('60's) shell outside a powdercoating firm in Maldon; and on the same estate a pair of Lotus (M100) Elan's.

I never really have liked minilites.

Forgot this one from last night

Something a little dystopian with the blue Chevy(?) and bloke in spraysuit.

Cool plate on the TVR.

Ha, yes I think so. Forgot I saw an Alfa 75 on the A127 yesterday morning, a Rover P5B Coupe and also saw a blue Chimaera on the A127 this morning.

Red Lancia Beta Montecarlo on the A12 approaching Chelmsford, 14:15 today - looked great.

Back in Chelmsford & a black LWB Defender modded to look like one of the Spectre Bond movie cars followed by a red First Gen Honda Insight - haven't seen one of those for a while. Both at the Sainsburys roundabout.

A SANTANA PS-10 pulled out infront of me on the A12 Chelmsford earlier, I had to search the registration to find out what it was.

[Digby]

The smell and sounds were sublime.

Is a Wolseley Hornet special apparently from the 30s.



Google image to confirm..

That is a brilliant spot!!

Saw this last night and followed it from Kent, through the tunnel and all the way down the A13, and it sounded great. Also saw and heard a very nice Conti GT. Forgot I saw a red Ferrari 308/328 in Brentwood last week, an 812 GTS in Southend today, along with a Bentley Mulsanne.

Love the turned ally dash on that special.

Blue McLaren GT (I think) in Chelmsford earlier today - on a '21 plate.

[lukeharding]

Also spotted this today.

[TCEvo]

Niva! Love those, Johnny Smith's recent vid on a new one is very good.

Lunchtime today, Red/White Healey - Stock Road/Potash Road roundabout, Billericay.

Another Spitfire relatively low over Hutton Industrial Estate

[TCEvo]

Red Alfa Giulia QF in Chelmsford this morning, cool car & notable as it was LHD & German (Berlin) registered.

Edited to add also had a Spitfire over Chelmsford a couple of times today.

Anyone lost a chimaera? Orange one with a black stripe abandoned on the side of a roundabout near corringham

[lukeharding]

A few from the last few days







My passenger wasn't the best at taking photos...



Also saw a yellow 997 on the A130 this morning, which looked fantastic.

Hot rodded '50's GMC pick-up on Parkway in Chelmsford early evening today.

Red Capri Mk 1 passing Chelmsford on the A12, late morning today.
