Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

[ToeKnee]

Not sure about interesting but it sure was ugly! Ioniq6! I was behind one last night and it's hideous......

 

[ALFAitalia]

Yep.....and it was 2023 Car of the Year.

Head Judge Stevie Wonder???

Big respect to Hyundai for producing something other than yet another dreary blob, but it doesn't really work styling-wise does it?!

 

[ALFAitalia]

Instead they have produced a "half melted dreary blob"!!!

Today I saw Chris Evans in one of his Ferraris. Not sure what model Ferrari it was but it was a very old model and in a beautiful green colour

 

[ALFAitalia]

This one???.....he does like a Fezzer....Back in 2009, Evans famously spent £5.5 million on a Ferrari 250 California SWB once owned by Hollywood hard man and Magnificent Seven star James Coburn –

And that's not even the half of it. Evans owns ten more, including a 1961 TR61, a 1961 250 SWB California Spyder, a 1963 250 GT SWB, a 1965 275 GTS Spyder, a 1985 288 GTO, a 1990 F40 and a 2011 SA Aperta.

There's also a 246 Dino, a 250 GT Lusso and a 275 GTB quad cam in there, too.




or this one?

Never mind, there's always the Ioniq9 to look forward to:

I really couldn't bring myself to post a pic of the front of the thing....

Isn't it a Fisher Price "My First SUV"!?

It looked very similar to this one but it was a convertible. I'm not sure what model at was.

I saw the black one being driven through Regents Park a couple of years ago. Evans wasn’t driving and my word it’s a stunning car.

CLS vibes.

 

[ALFAitalia]

Not the best pic as i was driving and it was getting dark. On the Chichester bypass as i was going home tonight. Nice to see one being dailyed.

 

[oldguy57]

Saw an immaculate ( I mean beyond factory fresh) '97(?) W140 CL600 yesterday. Had a *** 1 plate but shot off before I could get a snap. Must be prayed over and cash lavished on it. I don't think I've ever seen another.

At a local car show today (ignore the filthy SL in the background)

At least the filthy SL is easier on the eye than whatever is parked behind it (Celica?)

Who knew MB partnered with Tyrell before McLaren! I saw this rather nice 6 wheel Tyrell SL - on Google Maps admittedly. It’s in Hampton Wick, just past Sigma Sports.

 

[ALFAitalia]

Not that unusual....but today I saw a second 212 in a many months that was PFL like mine but with FL rear doors to make it look newer. Black this time.... must be a thing at the moment....I wonder if anyone goes the other way......old doors on an FL model?? Personally I prefer the right doors on the right model!!!

So what have you got against left doors?

Spotted the other day near me. If this is a genuine barn find (as claimed – but then again they always are, aren’t they?), it was an extremely dry barn. I had a good look underneath and it looked incredibly solid and clean (and, I think, coated in something to protect it). It needs recommissioning according to the vendor, as it hasn't been on the road for 10 years.

Whether of course it counts as interesting is a moot point. My uncle had the estate version many years ago which I’m pretty sure had three rows of forward-facing seats iirc. That was definitely interesting in that it was terrifyingly slow when fully loaded!



By way of contrast, shortly after I took these pics I saw a brand new lurid orange Lamborghini Revuelto - looked like it had come from another planet.
