COOL CLASSIC CAR SPOTTERS POST!!! Vol 2

[85Carrera]

Saw a well used grey Daimler Dart on the A14 this afternoon.

Not as tatty as the yellow one I saw a little while ago but they do seem to suit the "lived in" look

No photos unfortunately

That's because the absent-minded old duffers who own them keep trying to clean them with an Ugly Stick instead of a sponge.

Mk5 Cortina 2.0 Ghia estate, in two tone brown over beige, in Chessington.

Love this!

Friend had a Karman Ghia in the 80s and scrapped it due to rust. Might give him a ring now I've just found out current asking prices!

Spotted yesterday in Sainsbury's car park Witney Oxon.



just did a check and it is 1964 but date of first registration 2011 so assuming import as it is lhd. Colour however comes up as white. Does look like recent respray.
Porsche logos on wheel hub trim caps?

1964 car on an age related plate, imported most likely as a dry state car in 2011. Porsche Fuchs alloys are common in the VW scene, as is lowering and narrowing the front beam, although not to my taste

[dandarez]

Another angle.



Confess the inset of the wheels especially fronts is odd, but refreshing change to see one on the road in use.
Prices are mad though, especially earlier lowlight is it called?

Don't blame the Audi for taking off - id do the same
Why is it that everyone who drives a sad modern tintop alway's tailgate anything interesting??
Another thing these tossers do is sit in your blindspot on motorways - WHY???
