New wheels please… (All 4 were suitably fubar’ed)



No ULEZ or Congestion Charge for this one…



Or this one…

(One of ten and a mere €600k…)






Some more “Practical” cars for the streets of London…

“Taxi to the curb“ for this one..



And a wheel refurb for this one…

 

[Blobcat]

There were some with taste as well…

This pulled up at the side of me, at the lights,
had to take a pic.

Run on railway track, or is it too wide?

The spikes fold out ......

I have been catching up on chasing classic cars and seen quite a lot I have never heard of.

Must get myself over to California and have a look at one or two of those cars' shows he features.

The American cattle style auctions seem a bit odd as clearly some "privates" must miss a bid.

Perhaps a visit to some of the restore shops as well.

Yep the cattle style auctions are a nonsense, presumably to generate excited bidders. The British auctioneers take it steadily and must achieve better results. It seems weird that high value cars going through US auctions are sold without reserve as well, but I guess it's probably a small minority.

Seen Sunday lunch time parked outside the Maids Head Hotel in Norwich. One of the nicest ones I have seen, it was absolutely straight out of the mint

XJ220, I soiled myself a number of years ago when this passed me, thought to take a quick pic. Never seen one before or since.

Saw a white Lexus LFA in Arundel today, it was so unremarkable looking it could have been a Toyota Celica, I didn't even take a photo, sounded yummy, not until I got home and Googled did I realise its rarity, only 500 built worldwide, not much change from a £1m. Probably stopping for some lunch after a Goodwood meet.

I liked my B Series Manta .....

mine was from the era of proper chrome bumpers though.

I haven't seen one of these on the road for some time.

A friend of mine broke one for spares, I asked if he was fitting the rear axle to his car and he had taken it to the tip. He went white when I told him it had an LSD as standard!

I had a few and Ascona's too. I will post photos of the project Manta B we still have when it comes out of the Carcoon, '78 SR Berlinetta with a 5ltr TVR Griffith engine and gearbox.

Good day

Couple more

500 SE (may have been an L).
Looked clean and good, sounded fine and healthy, no smoke when the driver floored it a few times. Got to love a proper Merc! I’d rather have an immaculate one of these, with the AMG kit over my genuinely exceptional w221!

Very nice 500 SE - low mileage @~93K miles

I spotted a W140 for the first time in a while - you expect old cars to look tiny compared to todays but they are still effing huge!
