Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

[StMarks]

Saw this in Bruges a week or two ago

Unless I'm mistaken, ^ that's one of the very earliest "Spitfire four" (before the Mk2). Must be pretty rare by now.

Having seen one, they’re everywhere!

This lives up the street from me.
Seriously considering this as a purchase next year. Want a nice wee coupe!

This came up on a Facebook feed today. I don’t know anything about it.

Oh dear.... somehow they have managed to make a clumsily styled and ugly car even worse!

I thought the same but the comments all said how good it looked!! The mind boggles.

Porsche made something like that as a birthday present for Ferry Porsche. Not sure which model that's based on, rear lights look 944 but could be a 928 like the one made for Ferry Porsche!
Give me a 968 coupe any day - almost as good cargo space as that with the rear seats folded, and look a hell of a lot better!! I had one for 12 1/2 years so speak from experience of the cargo capacity, it was out main car for quite a few years and did numerous supermarket monthly runs as well as Le Mans 24 camping trip!

I've not seen a Firenza in many a long year.

I've not seen a Firenza in many a long year.

After his discharge from Stoke Mandeville my tetraplegic friend had one with hand controls. Terrifying bastard. Especially after the Sunday pub run.

Tried to add text, no joy. Lovely DBS in Tenterden car park this morning, owned by driver for 40 years and still considered a work in progress - as I noted by the bottom of the drivers door inside card as he got out! I could not believe it was mainly his very short (from his description less than 5ft!) wife's car, only used these days for occasional supermarket run or wedding outing! Sounded stunning!

One of my favorite AMs. Lovely!

 

[StMarks]

One of my favorite AMs.....

Fwiw, "when I was a lad" that AM was amongst the most admired and desired of the young petrol headed StMarks.
Many others that were held in similar esteem still stir my soul ( E Type, Ferrari Dino, GT40 etc).
However time has tilted my perspective of the AM, and now I personally just see it as a poor attempt by an ailing British motor industry to make their own version of an American muscle car (complete with all the pre-requisite flaws of that genre).

Lovely! Reminds me of The Persuaders - younger readers may need to Google it! Are those Cromodora wheels?
