Saffron (I think!) Toledo spotted in North Warnborough this morning, shame I wasn't in Lolo!
Very tidy looking car, only the 4th one I've ever seen out and about.
1978 Twilight Purple Dolomite 1850HL The Lolomite.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.

Spotted in Central London yesterday. A Tesla which I think is the electric Lotus Elise. It glided away rapidly before I could get the camera out.
Cool car !

I have seen that Wartberg several times, was it in the Bloomsbury area by any chance? I think the owner must be local.
