Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

I'm seeing something of a pattern of disparity between the "proper interesting cars" that @Darrell spots, and the sorts of cars that tend to crop up in this corner of the country..:

In the supermarket carpark today.:

My first car was an A35. Remember Graham Hill racing a rapid example!

My first car was an A30, given to me by an Aunt who, for a car she thought was worth £50, was not prepared to spend £75 at a garage to fix the failed kingpin. Cost me about £20 for the parts and a lot of fun fixing it, but took me all over UK on various trips including Scotland, Lake District and Wales!

Was it a replica??

Was it a replica??

Yes Darrell, the AK427 is produced either in kit form or factory built in Peterborough. It was my second cobra and finished in less than 8 months of weekend fettling. AK have just started to produce a GT40 replica and I tried to get in one a few weeks ago but gave up as although I could probably got in, I don't think I'd have got out again

Where I live one tends to see the big ticket classics. Tbh, any classic is of interest to me.

Ah funnily enough i saw one of those turquoise A35's on the M25 yesterday! (Driving, not trailered) How strange! Also had a BRDC sticker on it.

The new Ginetta G10 has my attention at the moment. Factory visit soon to drive the development car. If it drives as well as it looks then it will be blooming wonderful.

Ive always had a soft spot for Ginettas. When walking to school in the 1980's i used to pass a house that had a little red G15 in the garage. If you were lucky the garage would be open - i always knew that was going to be a good day!

I then came close to buying a G27R that had a Zetec on throttle bodies. It was a road legal track car really. It was just a bit too basic - i.e no roof and when you opened the boot you could look down to see the road. I then came sooo close to buying a G27 with a Vegantune twin cam. It had been built by the "Authorised builder" as a show/magazine car - a chap just up the road from me in Guildford. It was fab. One previous owner had dynoed it without using a fan though and blew the engine so it had been completely re-built to the original spec. I forget the details now but receipts for the engine rebuild were more than £10k and this was circa 2005. I should have bought it - it sounded so tight. £7500! I ended up buying my Ducati instead.

Mathewsons ('Bangers & Cash' on TV) auctioned a race-spec. A35 a couple of months ago:
