Wheels say it's a Turbo, but not a Quadra.

I don't know why, but I always loved the Quadra. Perhaps it's because it was insanely rare in the UK, because Quadra sounded kinda cool, and Renault doing 4WD seemed unnatural! hehe

Chrysler and Chevy in Baghdad this afternoon

The blue one is a 1966 Impala - the tail lights are from a Caprice but it would be badged as a Caprice rather than an Impala,
The flag badge with no number usually means a 283, I think. It looks like it's had a few extra bits and pieces added; spotlight, twin aerials etc. I have a 4-door sedan that's a very similar colour.

Loved the 21 Turbo, My friend had a red one and I had the Delta HF Turbo. Lighting up Sutton High Street in the early 90's..good memories. The Renault was very plush inside, much quicker than my HF but handled less well.

What a fantastic spot ! Not just rose tined memories either, they were good back in the day. Strong performance and handling let down only by the low rent interior

Strange day for classics to be out (chucking it down all day) but spotted a blue TVR wedge northbound on the A167 near Darlington and was later followed through Darlo by a black/dark TVR Cerbera.

Not just an XJ-S with a body kit but a proper factory XJR-s. Cream steering wheel & round gear knob present & correct.
This was in the window between these cars being made by TWR in Kidlington & Jaguar starting their Jaguar-Sport brand.

Very cool and as noted above with the TVR spots above, what was it doing out & about on the wettest day of the year!
