Loads of stuff at Gold Cup today. A few personal highlights..

Not exotic etc, and I don't have a picture :blush: I saw a bronze coloured S reg Fiat Punto GT last night, completely original, with the original wheels on it. It looked in really good nick too.
Just looked on google & it could well have been this car (for sale too)

Saw one of these yesterday (identical to this) X reg one - I still think they're ace!

 

[cat171]

Saw this last night.. I heard it ages before I saw it!! Loud wasn't the word, it was f**king brutal!!
AMG 'Crazy colours' G Wagon. It was driving straight & not on its side, so Nick Grimshaw wasn't driving it!

I took the picture from google, but it was identical.

 

[Stay Puft]

I saw this in London I think a couple of weeks back. They are so square and ugly yet so cool and good looking.

Spotted in the same parking space on separate days, awesome looking gt3rs Porsche (with no front plate??) and a Ferrari! Quite likely to be same owner? Forgive the lack of knowledge on supercars and the poor photos, neither are really my forte haha

 

[Jme34]

As a side note I also saw an M5 estate and a 550i, neither of which I knew existed!

 

[cat171]

Saw a silver R Reg 993 Carrera S with a turbo rear wing on it last night, it's still got it!! :hearteyes:

Saw this in Leeds yesterday. First I've seen. Sounded ridiculous!

Another from Leeds, looked nice in black.

And an older Merc too. Shame about the dent in the wing.

Such love for the old Mercs, my old boss had a F reg E280 W124 I loved that car the seats where on proper springs. [emoji41]

 

[v15ben]

I see lots of expensive new stuff in Leeds but I do prefer the old stuff. Saw a mint Saab 99 Turbo this afternoon!

I love old stuff too mate, the old S class Mercs are FOW.

That one is a summer daily driver I think as it's outside that office any time it's a sunny day.

Found as a rotting shell in Canada. Flown in, completely restored, completely immaculate.

600 miles. Worth a fooking fortune.

Went to pick up the Mrs from an MX5 specialist today after dropping her motor off, walked past the garage door and this caught my eye, a fully restored Mazda RX3.
Was owned by the garage boss, he said he bought it in bits for £1500 years ago, and fully restored it himself. However, it's not his anymore, he took it to Goodwood this year and was chatting to the Mazda people on their stand and mentioned he had an RX3, they didn't believe him at first due to the rarity so he showed them it. Few weeks later they contacted him and asked if they could come have another look, told him they wanted to buy it for their prestige collection. He thought he'd get close to £20k for it but their 'starting offer' was £25k!
Was a proper lovely motor, fired it up too and it sounded suprisingly brutal! There were also 3 RX7s all having work done, as well as the next restoration project which was a tiny Honda S1600.

 

[v15ben]

I really like RX3s. Used to see a few around when I lived in Sydney. Can't remember ever seeing one in the UK.

 

[SCJM21]

1 of 4 in the country apparently!

I love them, they look so weird / awkward, but that's why I like them so much!

Sensible guy buying that when he did (if he still owns it). Probably doubled un money in the last 5 years. lol

 

[BoatNonce]

One of the very, very few BMW's I'd ever own. Such a special beast.

 

[_Tom]

There's a guy down my road with one. Brings it our once in a blue moon. I just cant get on with the looks. He also has a VERY nice 335i touring.

What are they worth? I almost bought one for around £12k I think 10ish years ago.

:astonished: I have a knack of making bad decisions. I'm sure it was only £12k at the time. Maybe I am wrong and it was more.
