Re: Classic car summer season-what have you spotted?
Well, on the way home this evening I saw these. I apologise for the poor quality of the photo, camera phone;

They are owned by the same person (the driver of the open topped E-Type).

At least the top is down stilll as the illusion of summer is clung onto!
25 Points for one E-type from I-Spy Classic Cars, but its end of season sale time now so its spot one get one free 50 points, and for a double garage fill up spot with a nice view of the tarmac and tyre marks.....take 100!

First a P1800 in pale metallic blue with flapper whitewalls and predictable "ST-1800" or similar plates.
Then an Alfa 164 of the standard issue, FWD V6 variant, in a medium metallic blue. I desperately wished to be alongside it in my almost matching Peugeot 605.
Its been a fruitful Winter classic car spotting season for you addo! P1800 is a 25 pointer The Alfa 164 seing as it has a redhead?? 30 and the Goggomobile got to be 50, no-one ever sees one of those literally on the road. Oh yes and the SOGOF takes your haul to 210 points!addo wrote:Bright yellow Goggomobil berline spotted. Not sure of exactly what variant, had side windows behind the doors and a fairly upright rear screen.
Probably not this variant you saw but it is from Australia!

Re: Classic car summer season-what have you spotted?
Aaaagggghhhhhh !!!! Such a shame I'm going to miss out on such a bargain !! It's the Goodwood Revival this weekend and I could have shuffled down to the end of my road and photographed dozens of classics on their way to the event as I'm on one of the feeder routes. Alas, I shall be away in Germany Better luck next yearNewcastleFalcon wrote: 25 Points for one E-type from I-Spy Classic Cars, but its end of season sale time now so its spot one get one free 50 points, and for a double garage fill up spot with a nice view of the tarmac and tyre marks.....take 100!

Re: Classic car summer season-what have you spotted?
Of course standard 15, doubled up to 30, plus a bonus 20......50 points!
.....yes the bonus 20.....pure bias on my part. My first car was a little tartan red Austin Mini 1000, lots of chrome to polish, slidey windows, big steering wheel and if you forgot your keys you could always start it with a screwdriver Great fun to drive.

Standard 30 each for the Austin Healey but only 5 for the 2cv, doubled up to 130..........Stickyfinger wrote:Two A-Healey 100-6's and a 2CV going up my hill today.
....but a 2-tone bonus (ordinary) if any of the spots were 2-tones (x 2)
and a 2-tone (special) bonus for an unusual two tone( x 3)

Re: Classic car summer season-what have you spotted?
Did it still have these though? Quadruple points for a working trafficatorCitroJim wrote:Spotted a lovely little green Austin A35 yesterday in Lathbury, near Newport Pagnell... Seen it a couple of times before...
edit.... maybe a schoolboy error from me thats an A30 with the trafficators, not sure if the A35 had them.

Yes, the A35 had indicators Neil.. I carefully noted it was an A35 by the presence of the bigger rear window...NewcastleFalcon wrote: edit.... maybe a schoolboy error from me thats an A30 with the trafficators, not sure if the A35 had them.
Many A30s were retrofitted with indicators so now one with working fornicators is a very rare sight indeed...

Re: Classic car summer season-what have you spotted?
That black and gold Healey looks marvellous, but needs a pilot with the sartorial nous of someone like Bunny Roger.
I spotted a home-grown item Friday evening, 1978 Ford Falcon hardtop in yellow with Cobra trimmings. Parked (of course!) in Kings Cross...
