1997 TVR Chimaera 450

Today,near Totnes saw a tidy looking G reg Saab 96 (the one with the V4 engine and freewheel device).

In Brixham passed a parked Triumph Vitesse convertible,light blue with dark blue or black side flash

Yesterday, 1275GT Mini, on the M3, the same 2cv twice around Milford On Sea, Citroen MGB (Ok, that's my mates lol), very nice M5 in Milford too.
Today, a dozen Minis in Reading. About it...

Lowered and sporty sounding,green MGB soft top seen in Totnes today around 1o'clock ish

Now I was about to post a "nil return" for this week, except that on the walk into town this morning I saw something I haven't seen for decades ! If you are under 55 please go to the next topic.
Still with me ?
Remember the Mods and Rockers ? Well, I've just seen a perfect Mod scooter. Couldn't tell if it was a Lambretta or a Vespa, but it had the multiple small spot-lights on the front, the rider wearing a fur parka, and the over long radio aerial at the back with the fox's tail flying from it.
Memories.
Cheers All,
Tony.

A 1968 Rolls Shadow MK1.. Such a quality car..I would still have take off the wing mirrors though..

We see a lot of them in Sothampton during May bank holiday.

I'm not sure if the 'rules of the game' require the spotted car to be on the public highway - but Angoulême's racing is of the street variety! A few weeks ago I spotted there this rather nice Sprint. The driver somewhat over-cooked it trying to take two cars at once into the sharp left bend at the end of the start straight, kept it out of the wall, but had to retire on the next lap. There are a few more photos on the blog.

Public highway you say?
Here are some seen earlier in a car park: :-"



OK, so it was the car park at a car show......

Milford you say? Two different ones? I'm.rather near Milford (although right now I'm in Rwanda...!)

Spotted an AM V8 in the car park at Homebase. Ooh, I still would

Milford on Sea both times
Haven't been to proper Milford in a few years.

Isnt that a rather late plate for an FD victor? I thought we were on to square light FE's by K...

Not that I care much as both are pretty dreadfull...

BTW, sorry for the link rather than a photo, but I just couldn't work out how to copy in the latter to a post. Copy & paste didn't work - no paste option given. And I couldn't work out how to use the Img button. Can someone please explain how to copy photos into TDC Forum posts?

Many thanks,
Richard

Today heading west on M4 near Reading I saw what looked like a slightly wider XK150 DHC....

It was I think an AlleyCat kit car based on an XJ6. That being said it did look the business......and you cant really blame the owner
when the real thing would be substantially north of 50k.

Nice wheels mate...but a Kougar remains my fave Jag based "kit car" if you can use than term for one of those.
