Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

[SpikyMikey]

I had a CX Familial for quite a few years, bought it in 1980, IIRC 2.5l diesel. Most comfortable car I've ever owned or been a passenger in. Once drove 1000 miles in 1 day from Austria-Yugoslav border to Orpington (Kent in those days) and felt OK on arriving at Mum and Dad's house to sit talking to them (had not seen them for months) for a couple of hours! Eventually sold it as wife did not like the size in the country lanes where we lived - so bought a BX instead!

I had the use of a CX for a while. I agree it was supremely comfortable with those mahoosive sofas for front seats but, boy, did it take some getting used to in terms of driving the thing. Especially if you were regularly driving 'normal' cars as well.

They did a 4x4 as well.

Maybe not their best effort admittedly.
The Evolution version was better - if you like the Group B Rally look

Mine was a humdrum 1.8l estate - those were pushchair etc days!

I saw this in The Netherlands a couple of weeks ago during the 4 days marches. Quite a new bit of kit. The Dutch military have ordered over 1000 of them!

Spotted a full camouflaged Range Rover Sport out testing. I’ve seen many over the years but this one was towing a laden trailer, which I’ve never seen before. I think it was probably a fully-electric version (BEV) rather than hybrid.

Saw a stunning red R107 on the M40 whilst on my way to Oxford earlier. It even had the mud flaps with white Merc logos on them
E9 BVB on the plate.

Perhaps the trailer carried the larger capacity add-on battery pack required for towing,??

Hi , while out walking this morning I saw a1959 , light blue Chevrolet Impala that looked factory fresh.

The real stand out point that is was right hand drive car , may be an import from Australia, Japan !

Busy Sunday. Lots of choice. Not the best photography.

Saw this little beauty while out shopping earlier.
Wouldn’t mind a go in it

Ford GT on the A40.

Spotted in Weston Super Mare the other day. Now, I know that Spitfires have always been 'small' , but this one looks almost comically so next to a modern BMW lump thing.

Outside my daughter’s hairdresser’s in Leamington today.

I first noticed the cheap, nasty and no doubt illegal trailer. No lights or reg plate.

Look at the crappy sign writing on the back of the car.
