How many times did you see it?

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

The 4 door is quite rare. BMW made 3 or 4 times as many E36 coupes than they did saloons.

[Pericoloso]

Most interesting car outside Romans today.

Ghibli or Shamal? I forget which is which...

[Pericoloso]

I'm not sure either,I think Ghibli as Shamal has different front to this and after looking at images a more pronounced bodykit.

Ghibli. Shamal has a very wide B pillar.

Pericoloso said:

Yup, definitely a Ghibli. The Shamal is like a Ghibli on steroids. Including the aforementioned B pillar, it has seriously wide arches and rear wheels and the comedy spoiler at the base of the windscreen!

A few spots today - sorry, no photos as was driving:

3 x Austin Healey 3000s heading north on the A14 and later in St Ives
Yellow Corvette (70s) near Clavering
Mercedes SL in Bishop’s Stortford
Ford Corsair estate heading north up the M11
90s Bentley Mulsanne heading east on the A14
Red Porsche 944 parked up in Clavering

Went on a road trip Friday pm to the south coast in the 944 coming back on Saturday and saw the odd classic - 450SL Merc on the A45, couple of Standard 10s in convoy as well, a TR3 on the M3, and that was about it!

Then on Saturday morning we saw my mate's neighbour go off to do a wedding in his Merc ... apparently it had been playing up a bit, so he got his mate to drive the Chesil as back up.

I's a Teal.
A vaguely Bugatti-ish replica/tribute.

[A993LAD]

Saw this one on Saturday is it also a replica or is it the real thing....

Type 40 -real thing

Well, maybe. It's a Bugatti and, like many of these cars, it seems to have a slightly obscure history, which is why the DVLA took a particular dislike to them.

Registration MS7594 was issued to a 1929 Bugatti T38 (chassis 38175) with a Compton four-seater touring body.
The car was broken up in the 1960s, the parts were sold off and the chassis was broken up.

The MS7594 in the picture (and below) is a Bugatti T44 Grand Sport (chassis BC019; "BC" chassis is a Bugatti Club designation for replacement or replica chassis). Grand Sport bodies were made by Bugatti. The DVLA list it as made and registered in 1927.



So when you ask if it's a replica or the real thing, the answer is yes.

Is that a genuine Mitsuoka Viewt?

One can only assume that's a poor joke. I saw a rather nice XK150 parked half on the pavement in the Somerset village of Puriton this afternoon, shortly after seeing a Mark II blatting down the M5 at a very respectable rate.
