Went out for coffee this morning. The café is in a spot which is frequented by all sorts of interesting stuff - a lot of car clubs use the roads round about for runs. First off this was parked just up the road. Not unusual to see a Healey, I think they actually make them over here still given the number on the road. However, then the Delage Club turned up (I think this is possibly their entire membership). 1931 D8S - was exhibited at the 2014 Pebble BEach Concours d'Elegance (a quick google told me that) I like the very subtle LED light bar on the back Then there was this, not sure of the age or the model with this one Then this arrived - absolutely stunning. As far as I can tell it is a 1936 D6.70 Speciale with a copy of a Figoni & Falaschi body (it had that plate on it) although it appears the original car was built to race and competed in Le Mans in 1937 and then had the body removed in 1938. This car is, as far as I can tell, a recreation. There is an article about it here www.supercars.net/blog/1936-delage-d6-70-speciale/

It must be retro car weekend around my way as I've spotted four different ones this weekend, no pictures as I am not quick enough with phone cameras! 1st up was a spotless Lotus Carlton in Farnborough on Sunday evening, Then on way home a Merc Pagoda? Then today we headed out to Winchfield and on the way we followed a red Y plate XR3 that needed a good tune lol. Then last of all, something I've never seen before! My Wife spotted it first, cruising along the country lane near the Barley Mow, I'm not 100% sure what it was but I would say an early 80's Audi 80 Convertible??? Possibly a 100 but looked too small. Didn't know they ever made them so could've been a home brew but it looked cool as!

I can't find a picture of one anywhere. I hope you are not thinking of the more modern shape 80? This was Deffo late 70's, very early 80's shoebox shape

Came back to my daily in Sainsburys carpark in Ipswich and had this parked next to me. Took the smalls to the beach, and couldn’t resist an Ice Cream from this. Also spotted this whilst short cutting through Great Yarmouth. And this whilst ending up queueing in the same vicinity, shocking photo but a late spot! On diversion route between Stanford and Bourne Keep spotting this near mine (the silver GT), so had to do this when in mine! And just for Jolly’s on a rather new Audi. Oh and sometimes you just walk out into the office car park and get spots like this. Oh and whoever was driving the lowered Renault 4 on Plumstead Road Norwich (around 8am Tuesday morning), no photo but great car.

I still cannot find a picture of a very early Audi Convertible like I saw the other day. The only ones I can find are plastic bumpered and not early enough! I'm sure it was an 80 but boxy. (Early 80's I think)

Is it possible you saw a late '70s 100? These also came with twin round headlights. When you get on to the next model, the very boxy '80s 100, there isn't a soft top version (unless someone has custom made one, of course) and you have to wait until the rounded '90s one comes along to see a factory soft top.

No, shape before that. My uncle had a green Audi 80 and it was that shape. I think his was a W reg?
