Well it is kind of a Marmite thing, none of us can know about every low-volume old motor ever made.
One day, I shall post a picture of a Shamrock in this thread. Not the one that keeps appearing in Google searches but one that I find on the road somewhere. And why not? Someone else already claimed world peace as their ambition so the next best thing will have to do.

Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
Paid a visit to RS Panels in Nuneaton today. Spotted a nice looking Morris Minor Traveller between Hay on Wye and Leominster. At RS Panels (http://www.rspanels.co.uk/) there was the usual array of fine stuff; XK120s, E types and an RS Panels 250 GTO in the process of being built (They make the chassis, bodies, brightwork; the lot and period Ferrari running gear is then installed). Ferrari built about thirty five GTOs and RS Panels have hand built six (It's nice to know that those skills are being kept alive). There is a very good trim shop next door (http://www.suffolkandturley.co.uk/) and I assume the trim is done there (I know they have worked on the same cars in the past).

I caught a glimpse of a DeLorean in Chichester on Saturday. The owner clearly not concerned about a little road salt.
Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
Lots of series Landies about too . Done my share of them thanks.. I'll stick with my '93 PajeroSWB.. 2 heaters, Super Select , adjustable seats ,.. similar money, more grunt..
Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
Plenty of old Landies about the last few days in this manor too as the weather's been carp. No doubt lots of these were started with leads or a booster judging by the green roofs etc and the doors hanging off. People seem to thing that the police were all on sick or couldn't get to work! Funny - bad weather and 4x4's come out but they still won't go to within 18inch on the verge and when they DO get stuck don't know how to use the various levers to stop them getting stuck in the first place!
