Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

[Bobby Dazzler]

I saw this little (and I do mean little) beast parked outside the supermarket I was getting the groceries from today.

Smaller, I reckon, than even a certain "much admired Smart" ????

They’re absolutely dinky! The Honda Beat is lovely although the S660 - it’s spiritual successor - is even lovelier!

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

Lovely, although that R129 SL60 has an aftermarket exhaust (shock, horror!)

It would have had two plain steel downturned pipes as standard, or the optional AMG 'accessory' back box with twin oval pipes:

I used to live a short walk from Hampton Court palace (the other side of the bridge - East Molesey), and commuted to London every day from the railway station. My dad played real tennis (as opposed to lawn tennis) at the palace for many years.

You have a very keen eye! It is in beautiful condition.

I/ the first time I’ve been to the area. We followed the river for a short was and there were some very long and very impressive buildings right next to the water - was that a water treatment works or similar. They would make incredible homes.

Yes there's a huge water treatment works from the 1850s a mile or two away, heading towards Sunbury Cross (where the M3 starts):

Saw this at Southern Alfa day today, held at the Royal Gunpowder Mills near Epping (Really interesting place for a day out). Christopher Mann brought his 2600 8c Monza out in the pouring rain! Chapeau! So nice to see these cars being used - we need people like Christopher. He was racing it at Mallory recently. I think he’s 81, I hope I’m as fearless at that age! Sounds sublime.

I had one of those, in that colour but mine was a 92 J reg. The pretty poor MOT history of that one alone would be a no from me.....

 

[Darrell]

Mate of mine has one. An Evo.

 

[Spider10]

Yes its the Evo but as said above the mot history means he's done some serious work underneath owned since 2011
Heres another

Not seen on the road by myself, but saw it online and thought it too good not to share:

Saw a car, in passing, think it was a Tesla in bright matt orange! Never seen a car that colour before so may have been a wrap.

Saw this in Cala d’Or, Majorca today - blast from the past!

 

[Fastcar155]

It's always the same for the me when I see an interesting car I don't have my mobile phone with me.I saw a RHD VW in a washed out beige.The car was a fast back 4 door offering that was a square form and few rounded edges.Looks as the car came from the 1960s.On the surface it looked in very good condition.

Fake News Alert: That is definitely NOT Thunderbird 4, I asked Gordon (Tracy) and he still has it in his Toy Box!

Is that a standard colour Alfa, or a wrap?

 

[ALFAitalia]

Wrap....
