Teh Spotted Thread

[speedingfine]

Spotted yesterday on the A46, in a lay-by heading away from Stratford on Avon: a good number of De Tomaso Panteras. A few 911s too, and a Bentley Brooklands (the coupe from ~10 years ago) at the rear. Not sure if they were lost en route to Caffeine & Machine but they were heading the wrong way.

Saw a burgundy Pantera in Tewkesbury today actually, looked fantastic, was a later one with a wing

Wonder if that was one of the cars I saw? It was facing the direction of Tewkesbury if it had carried on down the A46, though I think the road is still closed at Beckford.

Ginetta G33 in white. Came up behind us (in the ETron with a dug in the boot) on a country road, and was past at the first opportunity, Rover V8 howling

Had spotted this car once previously - was great to see it moving.

So, bimbling down the A6 heading home from Stockport and we spy this in front...

I'm still not sure if that's a Bently or a Hyundai Coupe that's had a lot of filler added.

Not spotted, but DKEngineering dicking about. Comments on the soundtrack aren’t generally positive.

Sadly it’s a Bentley.

918 Spyder on the M25. No picture, but first I've seen in the metal/rubber/plastic/etc. Lower and wider than I thought it would be. In silver or is nothing like as visually dramatic as the competition, I guess that's part of the charm.

Anything using an “X” to mis-spell a normal word is guaranteed to be high quality. Top tip for you there.

Westbound on the M3 today, a pair of Dinos.

Car spotting anoraks - can any of you tell me whether they're genuine or not ? I've blanked the numberplates to stop you cheating

They both look legit to me. Hard to tell with the Fiat though.

An FD RX7, just in town today. Just bimbling about like it was no big thing, making braapbraap noises in a happy little offbeat cycle.

They both look legit to me. Hard to tell with the Fiat though.

The fact that it has 2 Ferrari badges on the back and it wouldn't have had any from the factory screams kit car ?

[ZedLeg]

Nah, people stuck badges on like that all the time.

[Sundayjumper]

Zed is correct. Both real.

That's about £300k for the Ferrari.

The Fiat has been off the road for so long it doesn't show up on the DVLA etc. sites but it was sold at auction last weekend:

When I was dealing in classic cars as a day job, almost every Dino we bought in needed a Ferrari badge pulling off the back!

I'd like to own a Fiat Dino Spider. A well sorted one is a great weekend classic, and drives well Shame you need £100k to get a good one now.

Silver TVR Tuscan S on Rodeo Drive in LA.

Yeah that was a heck of a spot! Two of them were there when I arrived, and the silver one turned up avec grande noise shortly after. So much epic.
