Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

What's the story with the Porsche?
It appears to have had only one change of owner since first registered and never had an MOT.

I secretly want one of these!

That's a good point; it probably is the perfect vehicle to cope with the pot hole-blighted, crumbling mess that is the UK road network.

Unusual to see an R107 SLC coupe these days, never mind two of them in one place! A bit of a marmite car ... to me they're just plain ugly

Saw one today at the Wembley car show. Slightly lowered in a lovely blue colour with a modern set of alloys on it which really set it off.

Owner was a youngish Pakistani fella who had some of his homies with him along with a stunning Pullman with 5OUP on the plate.
