An Alfa-Romeo SZ Zagato




A Triumph Dolomite, but not the one we're more familiar with:-

[2172cc]

Saw these 2 parked outside a house a few week's ago .......Fiat 131 Super Mirafiori and red Delorean .
Can't be many red Delorean's about and to my eyes looks much better than the usual unpainted stainless finish.

Spotted on the M4 near Newport yesterday, on Dutch plates. I'm afraid it was snapped on the move, so please forgive the appalling quality. That, and I was recovering from a night at the rugby.

Saw one of these on the weekend...



Whilst not the actual car, I did see a late-60s Datsun Sports - not sure if what I saw was the 1600 or 2000 version, though my Google Fu tells me all late versions coming into Aus were the 2000 versions with around 150bhp, weighing approx 950-1000kgs. I'd quite like one.

Some from a scrapyard on Canvey Island today: I'd gone to collect stuff from a car I wrote off in September...

Dropped this off at Duxford on Monday

I'm not a mod, and I'm not criticising you, 2172cc, but is photographing other people's cars at their homes – then posting online – actually OK?

Speaking personally, I don't give a monkey's if my cars get photographed when out and about – has happened now and again. But if someone started photographing them on my drive I'd feel it was a bit of an intrusion and a worry.

Ok ,I hear what your saying but I deliberately made no mention where it was taken and made sure the picture was cropped so as to not show too much of the house.

Yes, I'm not having a go at you at all. The pic just prompted the thought.
