Saw a Le Mans-style Bentley in town today and had to check the records. It was a recreation by Racing Green based on a 1950 Mk VI but with a straight-eight motor fitted. It looked very, very well done, which is why I had to do a double-take. I think it could be owned by the proprietor of Rich Sauces, because I saw the rear end of a Le Mans Bentley in his garage about a year ago. Not a common sight. This is a photo of the actual car.

I forgot to mention earlier but the MK1 RS2000 I posted^^^^^ is apparently the only car with orange stripes on orange car.

I chatted with the owner and from a short distance and in the pic you can't even see any stripes fitted.

Seems a bit pointless putting orange on orange ,he said the original owner's wife made the choice....biggrin

Spotted what looked like a Jaguar SS100 near Deganwy train station near Conwy yesterday afternoon. Colour was white with a black hood. No idea if it was a real one or a replica.

Came across this earlier this morning at a hotel near Wrexham.







Very clean, very tidy and looked to be unmolested, with a few minor signs of use but in overall excellent condition. I'm by no means an expert on these but, having done a little web browsing on it, apparently it was first registered in July 1963, so I would assume that this was probably one of the last of the P4s.

I keep seeing this parked on its driveway, and it's not a good place to stop to get a photo, pleased to see it out in the wild.

Ah the SAAB 90,the worst bits of both 99 and 900.

Front of a 99 means no power steering .

Back end of the frumpy 900 saloon.

That one ^^^^^ has EMS wheels........nerd

That someone has taken the hacksaw to the roof?

Or that it is suffering the ignominy of being on a low loader?

Or both?

Is that a DIY convertible job on a Ferrari 400?

i'm sure the handling is sublime, and by sublime I mean terrible.

Confession time.

Despite my love for old British bangers this is a dream car of mine. Way out of my reach though, even the more humble CSI.
