COOL CLASSIC CAR SPOTTERS POST!!!

[Fat Richie]

Nice white MGA parked up in the multi-storey car park in Taunton this afternoon - tidy red '67 Mini too but I was driving that so it doesn't count!

i saw a very nice Marcos Mantara on the A428 near St Neots this evening, looked great with the roof off!

also saw a Delorean outside a house in Abbotsley earlier this evening too. its the second i've seen in the last few weeks!

I also saw a Delorean in St Neots last week. I had to look twice.

he was in town again today, saw it on the market square and on Potton road this afternoon. its really got great road presence!

it's been a good weekend for classic car spotting, seen a very nice MG RV8, Triumph TR5 and a very unusual VW Beetle earlier today! it looked as if someone had taken the roof off and replaced it with a hot rod style low cut canvas roof! it also had a beetle bonnet mounted on the back too. never seen anything like it before so i assume it must have been a project car or something!

A very nice red MGA on the M4 Sunday mid-day, his missus was driving complete with bomber jacket and goggles too

A top '70 Bug, lurid purple open top but very sazzy. Gave them a way from the P6 as I was on a nice Sunday hoon as well.

Spotted thousands of classic Volkswagens on the M1 yesterday - must have been a VW show on somewhere in the Midlands! Plenty of Karmann Ghia coupes, beach buggies, Beetles and Camper Vans!

Also a few nice ones in London including a silver Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, Chevrolet Impala (the one that took part in Gumball - spotted earlier in the day!), maroon Aston Martin DB6 Coupe parked in a drive, red '75 Ferrari 512BBi, '65 black Ford Mustang convertible and a black Porsche 356 Roadster (looked like a genuine one to me!)

Finally spotted a red early 1970s Alfa Veloce Coupe on the M1. True to form it was on an AA truck

Will post some photos later on when I get my camera organised!

DB7 in boring silverblue . . .

that knobhead dj Tim Westwood's got an Impala just like that IIRC. could well have been him!

Yep I think it could well have been him. The Impala was doing the Gumball and Westwood was taking part. Quite agree with your description of him

If that is Westwood's then it's surprisingly tasteful!

[v15ben]

Turns out it is The Dogg Westwood - Hemel Hempstead's finest rude boy. He was driving it when I saw the car and it seemed like nobody had noticed! As Ricky Tomlinson might say, "Celebrity my arse!"

Silver Cloud

That's a Silver Dawn mate (the Rolls Royce branded version of the Bentley MKVI), the Cloud came after that in '56.
