Add me to the list too.

Fantastic cars - in case anyone has missed it "1275GT" has a thread running in Readers Cars for his Red Vitesse.

Fulvia covered in grime off the back of Le Jog - doesn’t get much cooler for me

Still there this evening

In 2004 when I showed my Mustang on the club stand at the NEC, there was one of these in this colour (with dark green vinyl roof) for sale on the Alan Carrington stand - I’ll have to try and find the pics buried deep on my computer somewhere to see if it was this car. £16,995 from memory …

Edit: sold at auction for £51,750 last March …

Edited by uk66fastback on Tuesday 7th December 13:53

Back in '91 I bought a '77 Pontiac Trans Am for £3500 - At the same American Specialist garage, they had a '69 Charger in that shade of green for sale at £4995!

(If only we knew then what we know today! )

That's outstanding.

[dandarez]

Dunno about cool or classic but this Smart Roadster made me yesterday.

[GTRene]

Always fancied trying a Smart Roadster. I probably should before too long. Not so sure I could live with the tail end epithet applied to that one though!

I showed this to a mate who's a retired copper now - he chuckled and then said ten or more yrs ago he'd have pulled that Smart over. Today? Nah.

Strange how times change, as he pointed out he used to pull loads over with dodgy spaced reg plates. Today they (dodgy plates) get away with impunity. I must say I see more dodgy plates today than I have in years so he must be correct.

Why is the plate dodgy ?

Same place that was full of Bugattis 3 weeks ago had a "car show" on today. I think it may actually be a case of all the retired blokes in a local club catch up once a month for a bbq and if the public want to wander around then that is fair enough.

Wide variety of things in attendance:

FC Holden


Pagoda and Vauxhall


Champ


Couple of Fords


1904 Oldsmobile van


MG with a hardtop

[Tyre Smoke]

That MG is gopping. What were they thinking???

[Doofus]

J&S GTB hardtop, I think.

[Tyre Smoke]

Major identity crisis going on too. GB letters, Aussie flag and Italian flag all on the go.

I rather like it. It's plenty different from a factory B GT. Not going to win prizes at car design awards, but I'd happily own that...

Truly dreadful. A lot worse than even Ashley’s effort

I might be wrong but those wheels look bigger than standard?

Quite like the hardtop, I assume it lifts straight off?
