Spotted in central Edinburgh, not sure why it's uploading the wrong way round.

Yes, I know it's not a classic car, but it looks like it might be a classic steam train.

Seen in part of Stoke On Trent yesterday.

Google is your friend.
It's a French 241.P 'Mountain' type express passenger steam loco.

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.
Awesome. A rare find outside of Japan. Basically like those huge French barges that only exist to drive around French politicians because anyone else who wants a big car will buy German, these only exist to drive around Japanese CEOs despite being just as luxurious.

Why is that in Stoke-on-Trent? (goes to Google...)

The owner might want to sort out the cars details with the DVLA:




They seem to think it has a 3400cc engine!

(I'm not saying it's a replica BTW - No '89 911/959 came with a 3400cc engine. The '89 911 turbo was close with a 3299cc single turbo engine, and all the 959's had 2848cc twin turbo engines)

It never dawned on me that it may be a replica but that ride height looks terrible. It does have the flap on the rear wing to access to the dipstick and filler tube for the hydraulic fluid for ride-height adjustment, but it doesn't mean it isn't real.

There are loads of pics of it "spotted" on the t'internet.

I think the road 959 has a three-position ride height adjustment. Maybe this car is on 'tip-toe' setting.

No replica -as it is claimed to belong to the Sultan of Brunei.

Looks wrong, lower profile tyres than when new?

As I posted previously, I didn't think it was replica - The Sultan of Brunei should really know what engine it has though! wink
