...which was spotted in the same road, a day or so later. The driver of this polished aluminium looking beauty actively accelerated when he spotted the camera, so all I caught was the bootlid. It looked very much like an AC Ace, and sounded very 'straight sixy'. Possibly a replica, but a very faithful one if it was, I was too busy cursing the damned camera to get a proper look at the badging on the front.
BMW Frazer-Nash?

That car is a one-off: a 1936 BMW 315/1, which was re-bodied (post-WW2) by Williams & Pritchard.
And, yes, I believe it's owner does live in that area.



A regular BMW 315/1 looks like this:

Yup, but BMW badge, polished aluminium finish and looks a bit like an AC Ace. Ticks the boxes.

It's a car I've always admired, looks so modern compared to everything else at VSCC events.

Anyone from Norn Iron reading this forum?

On the Comber ring-road this afternoon I saw a beautiful Dubonnet Red Aston Martin DB4 - definitely a DB4 and not a 5. Lovely, really lovely. And then a few minutes later near Lisbane, a replica D-Type, 1969/70 plates, in Ecurie Ecosse colours. Looked a decent quality replica, and sounded ace.

BTW the Triumph Dolomite above, very non-standard bodywork. Looks nice, although the Art Deco waterfall grille doesn't really match the skimpy competition body.

Geek Corner: an Aston customer didn't like the fared headlights of the DB5 and had his made with conventional headlights like the DB4.

Here's more regular Dolomite bodywork, although even this one has cutaway wings and a unique cut-down roadster body.

In Copenhagen, tucked around the side of a restaurant

If ever an exhaust needed some paint!

Love it all the same cloud9
It's not the standard exhaust, at least the tail pipe is not standard. It should have twin black tail pipes coming from a hole in the rear bumper on the left, you can see where it's been blanked out.

If that can was originally black then it's a very rare car, only 2 were made.

105e Anglia on the A405 outside St Albans this evening.

Dark blue, grey roof; subtly modified - lowered, wider steel wheels.

Very tidy, looked great.

Right about the exhaust - looks like it's got some wide tyres on it as well.




Gorgeous all the same.

Spotted in Fleet, in a garage, last week. Looked really nice, but unfortunately unable to see the full car from the street.
That is a LE model, one of the last 500 built. The chrome bumpers were not standard.

Are you sure it's a LE Model????

Yes, it's the silver they were painted in but it doesn't have the LE side stripes or LE wheels.

More likely just a bog standard rubber bumper GT which has been converted to chrome bumpers, resprayed and earlier rear lights fitted.
