Spotted recently:
On Wednesday - a Bentley Conti convertible in a rather lovely shiny light blue on the M4 near Newport; it passed us and I spotted a Tiffany badge on the boot lid. Reg was something like 1 TCW. Can't find that or any variation of it with the DVLA though.
On Friday - loads of nice cars throughout the Cotswolds. At Diddly Squat Farm Shop there was an orange McLaren (720S I think) with a massive aerial-type thing which was presumably an Insta360 camera. I'm sure his footage of driving into the car park was fascinating.
On Sunday - a new shape Aston Vantage on the M5. My god it looks fabulous. I'd not paid much attention to it because all Astons look pretty much the same in photos but it looks at once mean, pretty, eye-catching but not brash. I''m now going to play with the configurator.
Aston configurator doesn’t have prices listed for options.. strange way to do it imho, no matter how wealthy you are. I went on after seeing one at Salon Privé
Boodles have a spec’d Bentley line.. think it was more purple than blue, but maybe they’re doing a whole line of overly expensive cars?

GF’s Dad has just bought this so I was having a nose around it. I know nothing about them/it other than it’s a 2.5 straight six.

I love a tr6. There isn’t much more to know tbh, they make mx-5s look complicated

Are these Toyotas expensive now?
Why would you do that?

There’s a Testarossa that I’ve seen a few times too. I was sat outside a pub on Bath Road and it drove by. I motioned that I would like him to give it some loud pedal and he obliged.

Randomly saw a black e30 m3 driving along a couple of days ago while on the commute.
Can’t remember seeing one on the road away from car shows for 10+ years
