And my neighbour continues to torment me - replacement for the 968 spotted earlier by Dapster

Is this the 968 I saw at Highgate Station?

Almost certainly not

+1

I'm no Porsche expert, but I'll guarantee this isn't the 968 seen at Highgate Station

As others have commented it definitely isn’t the 968 you saw at Highgate - it’s the replacement - the 968 is gone.

And yes the 924 belongs to his son - it’s very smart too.

If anyone spots my lovely old moss green 928 - SOW292 - last seen in Cork Ireland I would love to hear news of it....my favourite car and biggest regret

Basic white Range Rover on steelies in A1 condition.It was also 3dr and being a E -reg must make it one of the last 3dr(non -csk) RRovers sold

No you cheeky monkeys, I don't mean "is this 928 the 968 I saw" but is the 968 I spotted the one I saw in Highgate. Would seem that it was!

Cool 968 badly parked in the station this morning without a number plate and with the windscreen taped in (and with a Micra in the boot). Non OEM Speedline wheels but otherwise looked pretty stock and in good order.

This belongs to my neighbour - accompanying a very nice 280TE, 911 SC targa and 924s - I’m not jealous....

That’s the one. Anyhow I hotfooted it down to Highgate Station and disappointingly no sign of my old 928...

I did however glimpse this very tidy 944



And I also chanced upon this in Pond Square whilst picking my daughter up from football.



I swung into the local to get a close look at the burgundy and black coupe.



There’s also a very tidy 80’s Renault Alpine in there at the back.

Outside is like a mini potted car history for me - bar the Clio I’ve had one of each of these in very similar if not identical colour schemes - in fact I’m still known at the garage as the bloke with the 840 even though it’s been 8 years and a Citroen Picasso since those days...

I'm not sure this is old enough to count as a classic car but, in Hampstead yesterday, a second generation G50 Toyota Century:







276 hp worth of 5 litre V12 JDM goodness, with air suspension.

Good spot - the mustang in the same advert was in a couple of weeks ago.

I have to say those photos flatter it - if I’d paid 300 notes to hire it for a day i’d be very disappointed - the exterior has seen better days....they are very stylish though - mine was two tone ivory and dark brown and had dark green leather with an ivory steering wheel. Funnily enough I sold it to a bloke in Highgate...

They've left three red handbrakes by that Corsair.

Thank you - that's been puzzling me for months

Nothing came up on the DVLA search, however here it is...

St. Martin-in-the-Fields today. The church seemed to be filling up with bemedalled senior police at the time.

Snatched from the top of a bus, so sorry for the poor quality of the pictures:

I'm glad to see they've come to their senses and binned those expensive BMW X5s at long last.

I would guess that a Minor would get them around London just as quickly.

They are trying to avoid next year's ulez fiasco.
They have worked out that classics will be exempt.

(although there's plenty of other younger classics that won't!)
