Also spotted near Cannock, in front of an industrial estate a sort of display cabinet fronting a lane containing four fast Fords - only two present at the time Streetview went past:

Saw a Tesla Roadster in Knutsford earlier, had to rush to my eye test (unrelated) and it was gone when I came back.

You took a very unusual route then! Must go past again, I can't remember what the other two were.

I can’t think where else I was travelling at the time, I was going between Bridgnorth and Alderley Edge, which is as close to

I imagine you were avoiding traffic - it's very close to J12 of the M6 which you may well use if you're taking the A5 to/from Bridgnorth direction.

Interestingly I think I just spotted a bond S1 Esprit in Ascot. Not just a similar one, THE Bond S1 Esprit - PPW306R....
I'm wondering if maybe there's a look alike with a very similar plate, but it certainly looked like it was that!

On the M1 just south of Sheffield I drove past a glorious looking KtF green (metallic) McLaren 765 LT. What a fabulous thing it is.

The blended-in bumpers, arches & skirts are awful. Wheels too.
And the blurb states 1.8l engine, where the cam cover states 1.6l.

Did nobody tell the owner that the Max Power smoothing fad was 20+ years ago?

I think I spotted a Lotus 2 Eleven yesterday when out on my bike. Is there anything with similar twin rear lights?

Elise?
I'm guessing you can distinguish that though.
