COOL CLASSIC CAR SPOTTERS POST! (Vol 3)

[Custerdome]

Yup, vents.

[markymarkthree]

Can anyone name the motor vehicles that were “mass produced “ in the Fone Revive shop 125+ years ago. Probably the 1st all British mass produced cars in the UK.

[DickyC]

I can't, but I am intrigued to know.

[Doofus]

Stevens, presumably.

Other than being one of the first, and from Bristol, I know nothing about them.

[Escort3500]

Straker-Squire?

Correct but Clevedon not Bristol.

The Fone shop as it was.

Presumably this is the car that was made there. Georgano reckons only a few were made.

[markymarkthree]

That is a replica and sits in the middle of six-ways roundabout Clevedon. Check out Clevedon cars an coffee.
I believe a total of 14 cars were made, which would have been “ mass production” back then.

Great spot.

The XJS seems to be sporting what looks like an odd set of wheels, maybe of a later Jaguar.

The person behind the Triumph, checking the times of the next Ferries, having stocked up on essentials.

Both look ratty, (patinated) in a good way

Love the list and the need for extra carrying capacity, next time someone posts, what the best car for …………..

[Jader1973]

This had patina…and lichen…and probably mould.


Looks like it was originally a sort of brown before being painted white (badly).

Still cool though.

I reckon they could be the XJR wheels from an X300/8 era although they would be ginormous on an XJ-S

[Stick Legs]

Not concours but far from scruffy MGB GT communting near Rochester earlier.

It’s how I remember them being, a bit down at heel but working in daily use.

Nice to see!

[BigGingerBob]

I didn't get photos as I was driving but last Friday I saw a Red 300SL convertible near Silverstone followed by a DB4 GT Zagato.

The 300SL (it had he lights and the side strakes so wasn't a 190!) had the numberplate 3HYP which brings this up on the DVLA...



Hopefully a real one!

They look like they may be 'Revolver' alloy wheels from the XK8.
