Round the corner from Oulton Park

Couldn’t lean far enough through the gates to identify the TVR
TVR looks like a Chimera to me - happy to be proven wrong though!

Cerbera? Is it? Or a Smart?
That Bristol? Was it on Bangers recently, missing rear window? Or was that one a Jensen?

Nailed on certainty I think . The boot handles are an immediate giveaway . I remember always being struck by to how quickly
the rear falls away , especially for a four door car .

Defo not a Smart.

Not sure what model but think Cerbera is a very good shout

Couldn’t decide whether the ‘project’ is a Jensen, but again it’s definitely a Bristol.

I don't see the flutes that the Chimaera has, I'd go with a Cerbera.

On the subject of 928's, this has been here a while.

I know that 928 (and limo). Walthamstow just off Hoe Street. Been there since around 2020, I think.

It has, uh..., some issues. https://maps.app.goo.gl/UvnecnhqXuPWwMBQ8
Oh dear. That's a real shame.

Cerbera; chimaera has slightly different bonnet vents.

The only 4-door model that Bristol ever made, I think.

Thanks, yep, that's what I meant by flutes, couldn't grasp the quite the right word at the time. The slanted part on the side edge of the bonnet.

I love the 124 coupes. So sad even if it's not an AMG er, EMG.

I was going to ask what the red car with the black bumper was but fortunately realised it was a wheelie bin!
