The Mini is a Wood & Pickett 1275GT Margrave, not a Radford wink

The reg' number rings a bell, I'm sure I've seen it at a show somewhere.

A few spots from a trip to that London








A harold radford??





Someone actually bought one: a citroen C0


A fairly liberal interpretation of 'classic' there smile

No pics as I was driving but three spots on the way down to London this afternoon - a ‘60s Fiat 500, a Porsche 924 and a Porsche 944.

Another Jag, in the supermarket car park at Moonee Beach, just north of Coffs Harbour. Couldn’t get decent pics cos of where it was parked but has obvs been through some sort of restoration as looked unmarked, and don’t think colour was a star card pick…







Interior was spotless beige leather. And was an auto. Not my thing at all but was good to see one being looked after.

Posted this in the Essex Spotted Thread, but as it's quite a rarity thought I'd stick here as well.

Alfa Romeo 1900 Zagato (I believe one of 39) on the A12 near Chelmsford this pm:

Two things I like about this Turbo R, spotted today…



It’s bright red which seems to suit its boxy lines, and…



Dude driving it is on P plates - greens mean between 1 and 3 years since passing test. He looked about 20.

Is it a Turbo R? It's got the grille from an 8.

Badge on lower front wing says Turbo R and there was one on the back saying same - I’m nowhere near expert, so could just be a pair of badges and I’d be none the wiser.

It's more likely that they've changed the grille... smile

Thanks - here it is in action: https://www.petermcfadyen.co.uk/gallery/vscc-pomer...

Found the entry list, which has it as a 1954 Alfa Romeo CSS Zagato.

Can someone help me work out what car I've just walked past. It was outside a shop that looks to specialise in classic Fiat 500's near Islington.

It was very small, looked like a classic Mini (I daresay smaller) but a sort of saloon shape, with engine in the rear. Writing on the front grille appeared to be in Hebrew. Any guesses? If it is still there later I may try and get a picture.
