Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

Stunning mate stunning. You like me may wish your family kept these as heirlooms. My grandad had an Original Ferrari 246GT Dino up until 1985ish..... He traded it in for a brand new Range Rover and a 308GT4 dino.. He thought he was getting a great deal. No!! Let's say one set is now worth circa £100k in good condition the other 8-10 times that!!! Not a good deal!!!

My grandfathers XK 150 was absolutely immaculate - you weren't allowed to touch the door handles with your bare hands, and you had to clap your feet together (to knock off any dust/dirt) before swinging your legs into the car He used to clean the spokes on the wheels every time it went back into the garage. Having said that he was a very fast driver and going out in the 150 was always an experience!

IIRC he sold it for £5000 in the mid-70s, which was a fair bit of money at the time. Yes I wish he'd hung onto it

A couple for Charles Morgan, spotted recently at Norton Park hotel. The 411 was immaculate, the 403 a little more "lived-in" but still very tidy.

Cheers,

Daimler 420 Sovereign:

Jesus, what is this family car day for me!?? My other grandfather had one of these (well a Jag 420G) from new!! Two tanks, he had them linked, father watched a fuel attendant in Switzerland flying on the floor as the car was taking so much fuel he thought it was running out!! Lol [emoji12]

Weird French car. Probably a Peugeot 205 on steroids. Or a Special Edition Renault Laguna. Almost certainly worthless:

Isn't that a Citroen SM?

Isn't that a Citroen SM?

Maserati engine - swiveling headlights - trick suspension.
They were well ahead of their time!

Library pic but saw one of these today - Aston Martin DB5 shooting brake. You don't get many of those to the pound..

Cheers,

Yes, it's actually an American market one to which someone has fitted the European light fairing. Mine is original European. (I was cleaning the glass at the time)
