COOL CLASSIC CAR SPOTTERS POST! (Vol 3)

[Schmeeky]

Spotted in Brum on Friday, absolutely gorgeous. 4l Rover V8, SDI gearbox and MG GT rear axle. (This pic found on the web, I was following it in traffic so couldn't grab a pic)

I've seen this one driving around a few times over the last couple of years, nice to see it parked up and get a shot.

Very nice, I bet it sounds rather good too.

Some of the BMW's I mentioned further up the thread.

Love those - especially the estate. My dad had a pov spec saloon back in the day.

I was going to put it in the Classics Dwarfed By Moderns thread but because they aren't in line I feared an onslaught of, "Small, far away."

I have an '84 coupe and my other half was very nervous about driving it until I pointed out it was pretty much exactly the same footprint as the Peugeot 308 estate I had at the time. It takes a bit of getting used to the long bonnet and boot compared to modern cars.

Clean looking RS Turbo.

I still don’t know why that happens!

However, I’m deleting the photos of my phone now as soon as I’ve posted them on here and that seems to have stopped them being repeated the following day. It seems to be working….

There’s a C reg Scimitar I see regularly, static in a garden … it’s crying out for me to rescue but circumstances atm mean it’s an impossibility.

Such as the owner telling you to "F off"?

Except for the steering wheel on the right

Exactly ... LHD converted to RHD (the wipers give it away) and incase you're still confused, the TR 250 was built for export to the USA whereas the UK got the TR5.

No need for quite the derision. There is history with the wipers for LHD fitted to RHD, Marina for example. And we're not all Triumph anoraks.

But thank you for your correction.

Trabitha in the foreground with some friends today at Greenham Common Control Tower.

Later at the H Cafe outside Oxford we met up with this beauty...



With this in the boot...

[PomBstard]

Tatra 603 with air-cooled V8?

[Tyre Smoke]

Correct sir!

[Doofus]

Was it a quiz?

[DickyC]

Everything is a quiz.

[Doofus]

Yes.

Er, no.

Beethoven!
