I actually know where there is a Police marked Allegro - it looks identical to the above shot. It is parked up in Wargrave, Berkshire. I pass it everyday. I will check the REG

MP4-12?
I wasin town locking the bike up at the start of a pedestrianised section watching a bloke turning one round in a dead end between rows of cars. I don't think rear vision is too clever as it took him ages.
My Grandad had one of the invalid cars, a real rarity though as it had a steering wheel not the tiller arrangement.

Lancia Montecarlo - Lancia solved the problem of front brakes locking up very easily by simply removing the brake servo. I do have a thing for old Italian cars. Would be nice to have an Alfa Montreal sitting in the garage.

Having googled MP4-12, that's probably the one that I've seen

Sadly I wrote it off on a sheep at 60ish mph.

Not sure if it is or not, but it could be a RS3100??

Opposite Juniors Pre School a couple of weeks back..

That one was in 'Classic American' (magazine) a few years ago


Not particularly cool, but, seen in Bingley
I believe these pink Ka convertibles were a special edition, when the (live action) Thunderbirds film was released?

Came across this handbuilt special on my travels last year. Merc straight 6 engine with straight through exhaust
Hand built special by braveheart1979, on Flickr

He very kindly stopped after I stopped my bike in the middle of the road to retrieve the camera from the saddle bag

I should apologise as this isn't a still. But I'm not going to, 'cos it's just scarey awesome...
The Beast of Turin:

Wouldn't want it pulling up alongside me when out on the bike. Or even in the car for that matter.

This guy even slowed down for me.He saw me fiddling trying to get my camera ready.

Mk 1 Facelift, isn't it?

I had one in Le Mans green with a black vinyl roof. Had to go when I got married and mortgaged.

My first car was Mk3 1.6 auto..paid 100 quid for it..past my test in a 950 fiesta pop..HOW BIG was that cortina

At my daughters School, there's generally a collection like that

Sounds familiar, have they had to build the speed ramps up for the SUV's so much now the exotica can barely crawl over them? Child saw a top end Ferarri scrape its way over all 5 coming in, then all 5 going out again. Top car park doesn't have them, but no one sees you if you park there.

My £250 Mondeo never got comment oddly.

That's a very sad story.

You could have a like for the car, but I'd have to take it back for selling it.

A sad day indeed, I loved that car.

Three months after I sold it I saw it parked up with the nearside door bent in as far as the gear lever. Somehow that made me feel better.

I've checked the registration

At the time of publication, the (then?) owner lived in Alfreton, Derbyshire

It is (was?) 'Magnum' engine

A bit more time now to add. This is the Messerschmidt used by Fred the Weatherman on Granada TV (who is now in chokey for sex abuse). I was passing as the owner was fettling it a bit and chatted to him. He let me sit in it, two seats, one behind the other, with a raising mechanism which lowered you into the cockpit. The steering is a pair of handlebars, two stroke engine, with either an electric motor, or the two stroke could be run in reverse, I forget which. It felt great, although I did feel I had to say "achtung Spitfire" whilst looking nervously around. Dates from 1959.
