My Turn For the What Car Did I See?..
Discussion
Throwing myself before the majestic anoraks on here……
North bound on the M5 this morning around Worcester I caught site of a glorious machine, really made my day.
It was open wheeled ( probably had guards directly over the wheel but you know what I mean ) , finish was polished so it shone, the sill level was painted dark green and it had a Union Jack on the rear drivers side which appeared to be boat tailed.
Looked quite large, Bentley size maybe? It had an look of gentleman’s racer to it, maybe Alvis??
I prostrate before the fonts of knowledge ( geeks )

Nope, I’d deffo say not a kit car.
The more I think about it, the more it looked like the love child from a 1951 Bentley Special and an Alvis 12/70 if that helps……probably not though eh
I’ve looked on line now that I’m home and can’t find a 12/70 with a similar tail end or any shots with the green sill level paint.
Anyway, it made me smile even if I never find out what it was, I guess the current weather brings out some cars you might not normally see outside of events?
