I peaked too soon. The first time I went inside a Lidl the centre aisle featured a pile of James Bond style personal submarines - think “underwater motorbike” - for the bargain price of £200. It might have been 10-15 years ago, but that was surely a bargain even then.Not quite the only place Ant; last time I was in Lidl I could have bought Burgers and Bongos!
Blimy, that's going to have a very interesting history then isn't it.? - As I recall, they were usually already showing visible signs of corrosion by the time their first MOT was due.!This at my work....clean as a very clean thing indeed....even underneath! Sounded tight as well. Cant remember the last time I saw one!

We saw it on the road a couple of hours earlier, being followed by an equally gorgeous Aston DB6. No pictures of that though as we were on the bike.
A quick search revealed it to be a 1958 example.300SL Roadster! Megabux!
Agreed. I had to go to the middle of a jungle in Brazil to see this lot in a private collection....and this was just one of six hallsA quick search revealed it to be a 1958 example.
As mentioned, extremely valuable which is why it was so nice to see such a car being used, regardless of the weather, and not hidden away in a private collection somewhere.
Come on, tell use more. You can't just leave it like that!Agreed. I had to go to the middle of a jungle in Brazil to see this lot in a private collection....and this was just one of six halls

The wing mirrors on the Spider behind the Spider are the same as on the period Maserati Quattroporte. Now not a lot of people know that....
Was offered a lovely Spyder similar to this a couple of years back, but although owning a couple of lefties over the years, the missus loathes being in ’the middle of the road’, so passed on it.
Some interesting cars there - interested to see the Alfa 166 behind the Capri. Owned one once years ago but can't remember the last time I saw one on the road.
