That Capri looks great.

Couple for me in Chelmsford so far today: Land Rover 101/Forward Control on Broomfield Road and a red Ferrari 430 replica (MR2) in the city centre a little later.

Dead Jag & a mangled Cerbera in a bodywork yard in Halstead, Essex this morning:





Happier looking Cav SRI convertible (which I've probably mentioned before, but got a photo today):



Also saw a black Ferrari 360 at the Halstead Italian specialists and at Prill Porsche (Halstead) 2x classic 911's (white & brown), a dark red 356 and a race prepped '64 Alfa Giulia TZ2 - assume it was a real one (rather than a conversion), which would make it one of 12 (via Wiki).

red '65 Mustang coupe on a drive in Earl's Colne & a white McLaren on a low-loader on the A12 passing Chelmsford.

I moved out of Halsted in 2016, and the TVR had been up there for at least 3 years at that point!

The red mustang is my friends late father's, who sadly passed away about 6 weeks ago. Unless there is another red Mustang in Colne...

Drivers side didn't look too bad, but suspect if it's been there that long it won't be seeing the road again.

Sorry to hear about your mates dad.

Couldn't get a pic but also saw the white Messerschmitt that lives off Moulsham St in Chelmsford pm today.

Not quite Kent, maybe just into Sussex - but saw a Baby Blue classic Mini Cooper, on Swiss plates with a full cage, and a roof rack full of luggage! Super cool!

I didn't know that Ford GT specialist was in Colchester - I'll have to have a nose next time I'm passing.

Yellow with black stripes, F-Body Camaro passing Beaulieu Park in Chelmsford mid-morning today.

Edited to add: Burnham this afternoon & a Moonshine Ford Granada Mark III - might've been a 24v Cosworth as it had the right wheels - looked good.

Always quite a few nice bits in there, well worth a trip smile

Someone to look out for; white C class coupe with a plate butchered to read 'Ghost' with some other characters...drives like an absolute muppet. Mind out if you see him!

Yeah, they had a couple of fairly meaty-looking cars in there that were both old and new shape....maybe one was a Super Snake, but that could just be my old fogged brain biggrin

Really nice environment and where BR Car Detailing are based smile

Chelmsford mid-morning & Austin 7 passing the VW dealership. Little later on the A12 & a dark red TR6 passing Ingatestone and a light blue original Fiat 500 on a trailer in a lay-by near Brentwood.

Down to Grays & a very ropey looking blue Beetle in a garden of a house off London Road and a red Mini convertible (or might've just been an odd Landau style roof covering) on the Globe Industrial Estate.

Remembered I then followed a black Aston Rapide S into Chelmsford - sounded/looked great.

A DBX flying off at J28 last night, and an AMG GT four door on the M25 the day before.

I've been tailgated by the same DBX and lady driver in Galleywood twice.

I think that will probably be a common experience frown
