Saw lots of Bugattis and other vintage exotica not to mention the Lotuses etc - somewhat cheating but best of all was the propeller driven wonder - made our day

British Racing Green Rover P6 3500 V8 outside Pride Park in Derby
Black MGA in Gamston, Nottingham
Also seen a couple of Saab 96s around recently, haven't seen one in years before this weekend!!

saw a couple of very nice classics out today,
an interesting looking almost raspberry colour Triumph TR6 near the Merc dealer in Bedford, an original MGB roadster in MK and perhaps the best, certainly the most coolest classic i saw today, a deep blue Ferrari Daytona approaching Bicester earlier this evening!

Spotted a BMW Isetta bubble car in red on the M1 last night. Also nearly wet myself when I followed a Dukes of Hazzard painted up classic into Nottingham....




...it was a Morris Minor

I think ive seen that Daytona in Aylesbury before, last time i saw it was a couple of weeks ago though.

i went to a vintage/classic display at Buckden Marina today (see the Cambs vintage/classic thread in the events forum) and some of the cars in attendance were,
a beautiful completely restored 1912 Sunbeam called "the mistress" that belonged to the organiser (hope he got back ok, as his front driveshaft let go on the way there!)
several 1920's/30's Sunbeams
a very early Triumph saloon of some sort
a 1940's Dennis Max flatbed lorry!
and perhaps the best looking car there was an original 1950 Healey Silverstone, that was a stunning looking machine!
there was also a Westfield Megablade, Ferrari 328 and a TVR 350i (which i had a spin in!) show up as well
also saw a lovely red TR6 on the way out too!
i did take a few pics, but thy're on my phone at the moment, i need a lead to help me upload them onto my computer and when i do i'll post them up!

In the 60s Innes Ireland used to trailer his GT40 around in his trailer. The car he used was a DB4 GT.

There's also a DB4 racer who uses a Bentley Turbo R fo trailer his around in
