COOL CLASSIC CAR SPOTTERS POST!!! Vol 2

[S47]

Spotted this oldish Mog today with a Mutt in the backseat! - whatever turns you on I spose
on second thoughts do they make dogseats???????????
Or will the the Mutt spot and then chase the local Welsh sheep - seems rather dangerous to me, Be interesting what any PH PLOD has to say?

Maybe I don't know what a Mog actually is then?

You can get restraints for dogs that plug into the seat belt clasps, I think.

The Morgan crowd claimed "Mog or Moggy" first I believe.

Don't tell me, I don't care. I'm just telling you that I suspect he was referring to a Morris Minor.

The Renault GTA Turbo had a Cd of 0.30 whereas the atmo version was advertised at a class-leading world record of 0.28. In non-UK markets the atmo car had different wheels and hubcaps as standard, which were presumably more slippery (and maybe narrower?), so this must have been the difference, since both cars were otherwise outwardly identical.

I believe some W124s had a sub 0.30 Cd.

The PH Mods must have removed the photo???
Yep it was an old 'p' reg Morgan [mog] with a Mutt [dog] in the back seat

he Renault Caravelle is a sports car which was produced by the French manufacturer Renault between 1958 and 1968. Outside of North America and Britain it was, until 1962,[2] marketed under the nameplate Renault Floride.

Thanks ratattak. It is pretty but I can't imagine that even the French would consider it a 'sports' car! At home on a promenade in the Riviera. Maybe.
I wasn't aware of the American connection either.

No photos as I didnt have a camera with me but on Sunday past a very tidy XJS convertible in Lidls car park Inverness, today again in Inverness while sitting at traffic lights, on front off me was a nice looking 1966 registered Aston Martin DB5.

Another 356...

It was beautiful. '59 356A I think.

Yesterday, in Puttenham, not one but two late '50s/early '60s Ferraris.

Both convertibles, the first was a beautiful dark red, the second a dark silver colour. My eyes nearly popped out of my head as the first one went past me (I was cycling the opposite way) and my head spun around like something out of The Exorcist. I was so wrapped up in savouring the sight of the first one that I nearly didn't realise the second one was there. They were 250GTO-esque, but I'm not an expert on Ferraris of that period so happy to be corrected. I'm pretty sure the value would have been in the millions though.

Also this week, a nice Sunbeam Alpine, and a convoy of inter-war period (likely 1920s) cars heading out of Camberley on the A30 through Blackwater.

Not sure what's going on with the front wheel, but I love that.

[lucido grigio]

I'm wondering whether it's a bouncy hydraulic thing.

I know that Kensington Gardens is posh and up market But a Rolls Royce ice cream van
is taking things a little bit to far.
