I saw this exact car today on the M1 - it was going south towards London, the opposite way to me sadly - I saw it somewhere between Luton and MK ...

Spot of the week, surely..!

A car which loomed very large in my childhood, that...

Me too.

Actually saw it once during filming at Osterley House in Isleworth which was used a few times as locations, and Osterley Park was local to us and somewhere we'd go often to walk the dogs.

Is this Osterley House...?

A cool classic spotted ?

This was at Villa d'Este this year:

I saw a double deck car transporter yesterday, with about 6/7 classics on it, 2 x 30's 'blower type' Bentley's, a couple of Jag XK's and some other expensive stuff which I can't quite remember as I was heading in opposite direction. It was heading east on northern section of M25, I think somewhere before or after the M25/M11 junction.....
Never seen that before, at first I thought they might be on way to Classic Lemans until I remembered its already happened, and they were going in wrong direction to becoming back from there.........??

Classic Le Mans has NOT happened yet.
It's 6-8 July.
So likely they are on the way there,a bit early though.

Likely on way there then, but as you say a tad early early?

£4k for a corsa though is stretching it!

The area is full of older men whose homes were bought for 2p and are now worth £2 million.

The Use Of Initial Capitals Drove Me Insane Before I Got To The Prices.

Although my interest was piqued by that Cavalier. I crashed one just like that, then once it was repaired, blew up the engine. Dad bought Datsuns after that.

Saw a Vauxhall Victor FC estate yesterday being driven near Heathrow Airport..............not seen one of those on the road in decades..!!

Do you ever have one of those days when you are in the right place at the right time?

I did this morning when I was in a queue and looked in my mirror and saw this..



It didn't take long to be in front of me on the A50 heading towards Stoke On Trent.

I was bought back down to earth when I got to work and told one of the young lads (who I know to be interested in cars) that I've just seen an XJ220 and he replied "A what?"

Probably heading to/from nearby marque expert Don Law Racing.

Nice variant at my gym. Back was full of baby gear and a buggy so being used as the family transport for the day.

And almost next to it was this M3. Original looking aside from the overly low stance.
