A perfect example of the term "bungalow on wheels"

I rather fancy one which was converted into +2 soft top in period. Lovely looking things.

I’ve never seen one like the photo.

I’ve never seen one like the photo.

Nor me, never seen a shooting brake in the wild.

Just done a bit of Googling and it’s a +2 Estate. Very rare.

Here is the same car that my mate saw but tak3n at a car show.

Saw this over the back of Claridges earlier. It’s got an M badge on the boot lid and it was running a bit lumpy.

Always loved those. Derek Bell took me out in his one once.....pretty terrifying!!......but not as scary as when he dropped me at work in his RS4!! His BMW 6 had a slightly raised rear spoiler.......he used to drive it fast enough that the centre would touch the boot paint!!! Name drop, name drop! (He lives around the corner from me and used to be a customer where I worked)....but I've not seen/spoken to him in ages.)

Just seen this beauty in Troyes on the way down to the Vernasca hill climb in the Alfa. Citroen made some wonderful creations. Also saw a bunch of twerps in various Ferrari’s, Lambos, AMGs etc on their Cannon Run to Marbella via ale Mans. I’m sure I saw David Haye as passenger in a Maser MC20. This DS was the star today though.View attachment 128293View attachment 128294

Couple more pics I’ve dug out of this beauty.

Nice car - shame that the owner felt able to put it on the pavement alongside double yellows?

 

[audiavant]

Yes-a ticket in the offing!

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Its not, its a proper 1 hour parking bay (see the sign behind it).
High street in Broadway, Cottswolds

I think it’s a parking bay.

I stand corrected
I jumped to a conclusion, in part because cars parking along the pavement is a real issue here in Preston. It's been noted that the main offenders are "nicer" cars. Go figure!

I stand corrected

Said the man in the orthopaedic shoes

I am speaking from experience,in that a Traffic Warden told me that if you drive over Double Yellow lines then you will get a ticket.Just saying,like.Doesnt matter where it is.
