Could be!

It’s definitely got a hippy vibe.

Spotted this parked next to me in the office car park yesterday, makes the change from the usual modern mundanery.
Has that been bastardised by Eagle or someone else? Looks awful.
TSL77S comes back as a grey 1978 Daimler 4.2.
In that case it's probably something like a Challenger kit.

Aren't they spacesaver wheels of an X type or similar?

I love that looks straight out of a Mad Max film - hope it was straight-piped

Two and a half litre V8. Same as the SP250.

Saw this beauty in Rye this morning. I’m no expert and cannot identify what model it is (but would like to know). The DVLA says Rolls Royce, but it wore a Bentley badge in the rear (I can’t get the photo to upload).

Nice will have to keep an eye out for that. Although not a classic there's a black 992 GT3 Touring with gold wheels that has been driving around, looks mean..

Hope you didn't have to queue too long for Betty's!

Indeed! Its bonnet was somewhat…phallic!

Hah, well placed - the trick is to arrive before midday yum

To me that looked much older than what the number plate brings back (1995). Is that just me not knowing my Porsches or is it a nicely done retro ( or maybe a rebuild on an older donor/Q plate )?

I think it's a retro on a personal plate.
