What classic vehicles have you seen?
Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
Ford Sierra Cosworth (white!) passed me on the Marlow By-Pass on Wednesday morning. Looked very nice and recently restored? Wheels weren't original, but I'd over-look that if I had a chance (and the spare money) to buy one.
Never got a chance to try one, but I did test drive a Sierra Sapphire 4x4 as a potential company car many, many moons ago. It just didn't do it for me then ..
Interestingly he slowed down when overtaking ME ... so did the BRZ catch his eye?
And earlier that day going south along same section, a Dolomite Sprint. The dark red/maroon paint job. Looked totally original and sounded nice as they accelerated up the incline away from Bisham roundabout.

Could you have spotted a Brutsch Mopetta, like this 1957 model seen below these words:
or maybe this Cursor (a replica one):

Gazza, your sighting of the Cosworth brought back an amusing memory. In her working life my missus was a paramedic, she told me of a tale about an old lady who had been injured in a minor shunt whilst in her son's car. When asked what kind of car her son had, the old lady replied: "A Ford Cotswold."
John, those two three wheelers have got to be either the wackiest WTF cars ever, or maybe they are something that 'Q' department dreamed up. "Do pay attention, double 'o' seven!"
Dick, that Merc, seeing it with it's body panels on, is reminiscent of Donald Campbell's jet propelled Bluebird. Old fart that I am, I'm probably the only one here that saw it on the news when Campbell made his record run. Driving along the M27 yesterday, heading west towards the A31, I saw the back of a van that I had no idea what it was. The H plate told me it was 1970, but I did recognise when I went past. I couldn't photograph it, although it's probably on the dashcam. However, like all things technical, I have no idea how to rewind or capture dashcam images. The dashcam is useful in that it reduced insurance premiums. This is not the van, the one that I saw was painted khaki and was immaculate, going along quite well too,around fifty, fifty five mph.

They do go quite well as this one on the banking at Montlhery shows. They are also the mobile caterers' vehicle of choice in the UK

Ght, bluebird is a very close copy of the thing I spotted except the cockpit was the other end...GHT wrote: ↑Sat Nov 14, 2020 10:05 amGazza, your sighting of the Cosworth brought back an amusing memory.

Spotted a very clean and nice looking BMW Z1 .. I would have taken a pic but there were a few tradesmen working at the property and thought better of it ..

Nice spot over in Wolverton this afternoon.
16TGS so a pretty nice spec if I'm remembering their trim levels right.
