The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

Many years ago a place in Seven Kings (a total s**t hole) in Essex had one in, iirc it was £75k even back then. I love them!!!

Just found the garage on streetview, no idea if its a replica or not as its not for sale on their website.

I saw a Jaguar XJ Coupe last night, old P reg one in blue, I love them!! I think I lave a lust for the pillarlessness (yeah that's a word now, ha) as I love the Merc CE coupes from the 90's too!
I also saw the white with blue stripes Porsche 2.8 RSR that's round here the other day too, it's lovely!

Spotted a TVR Griffith yesterday. Usually only see them on show days so was nice to see one in rush hour in the local bypass.

Saw an old Elan S4 last night, yellow one with a hard top roof, lovely!

Aww I want another now. I've just been shown an all original silver 205 gti and R5 GTT. There's an ultima and a Westfield in here too. All going up for sale soon apparently.

Yes indeed.Looks to be a genuine Tommi in Canal Blue.

Don't see many used nowadays

The sun definitely brings out some interesting kit!

That Transit shows as a 2.0 petrol, wonder if it has a Cosworth engine?

 

[Clio_fool]

£87k for the Cayman, I hope they remove the crap, I mean wrap!

Is it really a spot when it belongs to someone you know? Well, who cares. It's fairly rare and it's rather fruity (500bhp on the fast map, only weighs 850-900kg)

 

[Bluebeard]

Just saw this on Facebook.
S2000 engined!

There was an absolutely mint mk3 Escort XR3i on an old Y reg in for an MOT at work today. Someone told me they guy has had it from new in 1982. There was also a Cosworth Scorpio in for some work a couple of weeks ago that I just remembered about.
No pics as it felt inappropriate to take a pic of a customer's car.

Some sort of classic car show at the nec today, loads of old stuff knocking about, but this mk1 Astra GTE caught my eye, the thing was immaculate.

 

[Ray Gin]

I saw a Vauxhall Victor round the corner from my house earlier, looked cool as f**k.

 

[cat171]

I saw a Ford GT40 this morning!! A f**king GT40!!! :hearteyes::hearteyes::hearteyes:It was maroon with black wheels with chrome outers, I wasn't that close to it but the rumble as it sat in the traffic was AWESOME!! Obviously I don't believe it's a genuine one, but 99% of them aren't, but it was 'square mile' London so who knows ?
Then about three minutes later I saw a black Cayman GT4 :hearteyes: the dude gave it some beans too, I want one!! The reg started off with GT04

 

[terryc101]

Went past again yesterday morning so grabbed a better pic, no price = I cant afford it.

I'd give my left testicle for a mint black Mk1 GTE with white compomotive mo5 wheels.

 

[Clio_fool]

I spotted a white evo 5 yesterday morning and a red evo 7 yesterday evening. I guess winter hibernation is over then

I do like the Mustang, even the Ecoboost like that one is nice. There's a grey V8 one about 7 feet from my desk at work.

There's one local to me in white like that, it's horrible. First time I saw it it was broken down.

Oh and stop using your phone while driving.

Was behind a Maserati Granturismo S through a city centre yesterday, and it was possibly the nicest sound ive ever heard!

 

[terryc101]

Spotted this one morning this week.

Might be something to do with my dad having an E30 for years when I was in primary school, but I really love them!

Saw this the other day plus a lovely maroon 318iS and another convertible in Leeds city centre today.

Missed this post before.
It's 400bhp with NOS apparently!
There's a good video of it on the Northern Retro Facebook page.

Saw this at the Leeds Cruise meet last night. Based on a Jag XKR and probably unique I'd guess!
