Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

One of those Swedish things that goes about 30kph and you can drive at 14 I think

Would appreciate any comments on who made this visitor from Cologne. Absolutely brand spanking new Bentley, based on what I think is the end of line 1946 design. Shows signs of being used for modern day rallying, but bears no signs of use or age - at all.

As far as I can see, it's not one of the "official" Bentley manufactured "Blowers' (cost roughly £1.5 million), nor one of the Petersen creations.

What say you?

Very nice - nice touch they have lined up the bolt heads. Always a good sign i think.

I saw a BMW 507. My jaw almost hit the floor. Absolutely stunning

My daughter just sent me this. Taken near Caterham.
Not sure what it is and I don’t think the louvres are original. May it’s an Austin Healey?

Yes, I think you're right - it's an early Austin Healey (identifiable by having a taller grille than later models). I don't claim to be an expert though so happy to be corrected!

Yes, it's an Austin Healey 100/4. Probably worth £40/50,000

Well done.
I got another photo from my niece showing the reg plate and it is indeed a 100/4 BN1.

No they are not Darrell

Pair of Bond Bugs designed by Tom Karen of Ogle Design.

Also worth about £40k (the pair, not individually)

0-60 in 17 seconds. But, please don't try to go round corners at 60mph....
