Probably worth about £40k with that mileage.

Brand new Puma behind me in traffic today, actually thought it looked pretty smart!

Epic spot at my local farm shop, genuine article as well.

Nice shopping car!

MarkCup · Mar 22, 2020

Dem tyres!

terryc101 · Mar 22, 2020

Holy s**t! Was it just being driven around like a regular car?

Yea, geezer just rocked up with his mate in the passenger seat, took ages to park the thing then sat with it idling and spitting away for a while then went in to buy some groceries.

i guess it’s not a bad time to take it out, it might be a while before he gets another chance.

Jesus H. Christ.

Close the thread there, we're done. Vehicle details come back as Lancia Delta S4 built 1986, registered 1997. Unsure of its credence.

Coby. · Mar 23, 2020

SVR in the local Co-op.

Also saw a tidy looking EK9 as I drove home.

Some tractor.

You're going to follow a thread winning post, with that?

An absolute disgrace.

I just googled the reg of that S4, it gets about a bit!! In one pic it's plain red!

It's registered as "Red" too!

I don't care what car it is, PhotoBucket can just fcuk off.

cat171 · Mar 23, 2020

Double click on it, it comes up normally. It's a picture of that S4.

cat171 · Mar 23, 2020

I forgot that I saw a Ferrari with the new car / crazy pattern sticky sheet stuff all over it last week. It had two geezers in it and it wasn't hanging around.
I suspect it was a new model being tested as I doubt they'd deliver someone's new car that way.

Not sure if it's true, but:

Chassis 009
"Delta S4 Stradale used by Ignacio Sunsundegui on the 1986 Monte Carlo Rally. Converted to works spec by Gary Midwinter (UK). "

According to the website he/the car retired with an oil leak.

Not really spotted but was going through some old FCS pictures

Cookson · Mar 23, 2020

Well, this thread's going to get real quiet, real quickly

Clio_fool · Mar 23, 2020

Spotted one of these this evening :

And then a mk1 Megane coupe and then an A80 supra.

cat171 · Mar 24, 2020

I'd have loved an Acid Vee! At one point there were two for sale, one was up on miles and the other was a bit neglected. Neither were for me

cat171 · Mar 26, 2020

Lack of traffic seems to mean, get your classic car out

I've just seen a red what could have been a Lamborghini Espada, or some sort of Lotus.
A sort of beige(ish) LHD Porsche 911 Turbo on an 1980 W reg.
An orange L reg 1970's 2.7 RS in RHD, I don't know if it's real, it was noisy (I have a picture)
And the back end of a green Aston DB something which I barely saw as they weren't hanging around.

All within about five minutes!

Stay Puft · Mar 26, 2020

Think the SVR and Aston are the same owner.. also has a Matte grey Porsche.

massiveCoRbyn · Mar 26, 2020

Went out for a walk this evening and came across this at the side of the road. Anyone fancy a resto project?

massiveCoRbyn · Mar 26, 2020

Oh and these poor things...

Short Norman · Mar 27, 2020

Having not been anywhere since Monday I spotted this this morning 😂😂

Could you imagine if that’s an original JPS 😩

I wonder if the a search on the reg number would bring it up? Don't know if the DVLA would hold details on whether it was a JPS or not. Might be tough to get a picture of the plate but I could probably try. It did look like the sort of place where you might get shot, Tony Martin style though

cat171 · Mar 27, 2020

Turns out that the red car I wasn't sure about last night was a Lotus Eclat - which coincidentally is what one of those knackered cars is posted by massivewangers.

This morning I saw a boring white C reg Merc 500 SEC parked up. No pic, but quite a rare sight now.
I'll get a pic up of the 2.7 RS I saw last night soon.

cat171 · Mar 27, 2020

Looking at that Esprit, I'd say thankfully, it's not a JPS. The stripe along it isn't correct. So it's just a black car with a gold stripe.

Pretty sure he use to have a Porsche with the number plate that is on the Range

cat171 · Mar 27, 2020

That Lancia S4's from earlier is in this pic here on PH mentioning that Goodwood FOS has been postponed. I said it gets around,

Goodwood Festival of Speed postponed

Annual car-fest has inevitably fallen prey to you know what

All finished and ready for delivery. Some of the pics have come out really well. Hard colour to get the best from. Swatter Blue.
