The RR Spotted Thread

[Seth]

Great Balls of SPOT!

In honor of the new thread have a bumper update from me

Local LWB Citroen



OAP spec



This was parked a couple of streets down for a few days. Not seen it before and now its gone.





Doing some shopping a couple of Sundays ago.



Best car to go to Sainsbury's in eVar!





Chopped Merc.



Like the P6 this arrived close to home recently but is still there. Its really clean, 1850 + O/D





Hell yes! We were in the Saab and swapped acknowledging nods



Crayford Corsair



Not sure if I've posted this before. One of 50 (?) made. Has lived here since new.



And to finish another rare but even newer Merc.

[Lewis]

I posted these a while ago but they slipped right back, so I'll stick 'em here again as there was a few nice 'uns

They're from a visit to the garage for a service a while back:



Lambo (4000GT?) undergoing some resto. Sorry, I mean, full rebuild!







A very well worked over 250BHP Cosworth Escort rally car:









N2O injected Jag rallycar:



One of many:



Another Jag:







Lady owner, in daily use still:





The shop's chair, made out of Maserati race car bits:



Lastly:









1 litre and 10,000RPM. Think it was a De Tomaso, can't remember the type though.

One of a kind, however!

I can forsee this being an excellent thread. My first contribution - some sort of grandad wagon with fancy alloy wheels spotted while I was waiting for the MOT on the Fiat ;D ;D

Cheeky! Hope you enjoyed the deliciously beige paintwork.

[michiel]

at almost all of Seths and Lewises's's spots!

Lambo is probably a 400GT.

[rtlkyuubi]

Minty Alan Mann Racing rep LoCort in Hainault, Essex.

Three campers from this morning:

Was up for sale at one time.

Three-for-one T2 and brace of 205's

Mint late-70's CF, obviously cherished.

[tigran]

A couple from round 'ere on the south coast:

Slammed caddy, a '46 (i think) chevy and a victor with a jag straight six in it:



Another un from the workshop, a tata pickup dropped over a range rover chassis, cool in my books. The reasoning was that the PO couldn't find any bits for it as a tata to get it through mot - so decided to 'just' drop it on a rangey chassis.



Hardcore stripped out, with harnesses goof in bournemouth.



Can I get some civic-shaped ooof from asda in bournemouth - I think the owner works in there. Cracking car.



My mates mini which I towed back from Brum for him. Currently has 1.4 K series power, he's putting in a brand spanking new 1.8vvc k-series in.

[akku]

got any more pics of the Victor?

I managed to get a few fresh ones over the last couple of days.

First off an exotic-fest, canyou imagine the insurance value of this garage's stock?









and just around the corner is the poor man's option



Mk2 GTI was parked-up next to the Ferraris and Lambos



Now every now and then I geta queer pair of a silver Bentley GT and a Silver Lotus parked up in the same place. Now the Bentley is black



I just love these



Astro based gayvan

Not at the moment, but the dolly is down at his workshop so i'll get some more next time i'm down there.

[Gompo]

...I have quite a few to post. I was planning on starting my own thread this weekend but will put them in here gradually.

Some of these have been shown on autoshite, so apologies it those who've seen a few already.






This guy has a nice 'fleet', has a race prepped Elan and an I think an older Esprit tooked away too.


















Another fleet - Retro coupe/hatchbacks:






Cheers
