COOL CLASSIC CAR SPOTTERS POST!!!

[v15ben]

Stunning Red and White Austin Healey 3000 in race spec, a Red and Yellow Lancia Stratos, single seater Lotus and something else. All heading north on the M1 tonight, I'm assuming there was a 750 Motor Club event on somewhere??

Some sort of classic rally going on in the country lanes around my area today, as driving through them for noly about 2 miles, i saw, among others,:

Aston Martin DB5 in race spec.
2 race spec origional AC Cobra's
A Humber Snipe
A 1924 Bentley 3.0 litre
Mercedes 190SL
Mercedes Pagoda
1966 Corvette Stingray convertible.
2 MGA's
A Porsche 356 Speedster.
An Austin Healey 3000
A Jaguar E-Type series 1 coupe.

They were all in beautiful condition, and the Aston DB5 was a proper racer, it was light blue and gorgeous!! It made my day seeing that lot. And hearing the Vette

ETA: Also drove past teh most tragic front garden I know of. In a small detached house in the country side, there is a man that has on his front lawn, languishing under his trees and left to rot,:

An oringional Torpedo style Tatra
A Works Sunbeam Tiger
A Sunbeam Alpine
An MGA
And a Rover P5B
An old caravan

It breaks my heart to drive past it.

Myself and 35 other Triumph TRs in Antrobus yesterday. Blocked the car park!

[TCEvo]

decent weekend of spots for me as well. Several TR's, a Griffith 500, broken down TR7, an early 356 coupe first thing today in Basildon & best of all a D-Type in Chelmsford - although assume a replica.

The reason for so many classic cars out on the roads yesterday was this event :

www.msaclassic.co.uk

We set off from York at 8.30 yesterday morning and arrived at Silverstone for 2 laps of the circuit at 5.15pm. Route took us via Clumber Park, Donnington GP Collection and Gaydon.

Other starting points were Bath, Epsom, Norwich and Silverstone.
At the finish there were nearly 700 classics.

We were amongst many others who headed back up the M1 last night

Fantastic day.

On the wya home from school, on the bus in the rain, there was only one thing to brighten the afternoon. And brighten it did, as it was an immaculate looking bright yellow Dolomite Sprint. Great cars, I really want one now.

[TCEvo]

Decent spots over last couple days. Moonshine RS500 heading into Basildon on Tues morning. White Morgan leaving Basildon last night. Silver late Esprit in Chelmsford yesterday morning. Black XK140 on M25 yesterday. White Stingray leaving Basildon yesterday evening.

Did he have the roof off?

I passed one on Cambridge St last week.

i saw Mr Sheens neighbour in his lovely 25th Anniversary Countach heading towards Tesco's on the 428 earlier today!

Can't match that countach today, although did see a Subaru SVX - not sure counts as a "hero" but can't remember ever seeing one on the road when new.

Sunday - saw a pair of '20's or 30's Rolls Royce's near Hanningfield Reservoir, Essex - assume that there was a meet on. Also various interesting bits & pieces over the weekend including a Rover SD1

Saddest though, stationary black '67 or '68 'Stang at the side of London bound A127 just past wickford junction on way home today. Hope they got it home.

[Forthright MC]

quite a popular car on this forum at the moment, saw a lovely blue P5B (NCH 71 was the plate IIRC) cruising past St Neots community college on Barford Road late this afternoon

[TCEvo]

Mid-eighties 'stang in Chelms last night on way home & white Karman Ghia Coupe on a drive also in Chelms today - looked like a restro job.

[Rob Dicky]

A62 Liversedge a very smart Cherry red 1965 Triumph Herald 1200 looked & sounded superb.
