Spotted Lime green Ultima

[sospan]

On Sunday - Late morning - on A40
Brecon area.
It pulled up behind me - I was in my red Morgan - Lovely sound! - passed me as we came onto Brecon By-pass. Even better sound at full throttle!
Few miles on i passed it! - It was parked up on roadside - hope nothing went wrong and it was just a wee break!!
Awesome looking and sounding car.

That looks like the Lotus colour "scandal green", nice on the Ultima actually.

That is a nice car the wheels looks great which kind of wheels are they and I think it isnt 18 inch looks more like 19 or 20

Hello Phil.
Thanks for the comments, I enjoyed following you for some time on the A40, your car looks great and you appeared to be having a spirited drive! I was on my way back from the S.Wales run organised by Danny. You do have some fantastic roads in the Brecons. I recently spent some time at the Morgan factory (I'm sure you have been) quite an amazing experience, very tempted by the new Three Wheeler. Yes it was wee break, two many teas and at my age when you need to go...

Steven. The wheels are Compomotive 18" but in the old photo they where shod with only 295 rear tyres, they are correctly shod now! The colour was down to Russ (Lamborghini Muira Lime Green), when Nick and I bought the car we planned a colour change (silver with black wheels) but the colour grew on us and seemed to be well received by many, bit of a Marmite colour. Recent photo as she looks now;

Glad you didn't change the colour! It always amazes me how colour alone makes such a big difference on the Ultima. That green really suits it I think.

Glad to hear it was a wee comfort break and nothing wrong with the car.
There are many good roads in Wales!!
I enjoy letting the Mog open its lungs on some too. Its only a 1600 but goes ok. If the right V8 or 3.0 V6 comes along though....
I enjoyed listening to your engine as you were behind me and even more when you passed me as we came onto the Brecon by-pass - thats a benefit of open top motoring. It made my Mog's Purr seem feeble!
Awesome sound.
