Seen on our daily walk. I assume the GT40 is a replica.

Ye Gods, all that power and no fork brace! Bet thats a handful by todays standards.

It has got a steering 'damper' (or possibly 2) though.

There's a talk between Mick Grant and Steve Parrish where Steve tells the tale of his bike 'tankslapping' down a part of the TT course and he asked Mick what to do to cope with it and Mick said "ride down the middle of the road" Steve said "why is it smoother" to which Mick replied " No the trees are further away"

That 996 turbo is becoming a classic, 20 years old now. I drove one about 10 years ago, fabulous car, so easy drive.

It probably is a replica, although it could be bona fide. Appearances can be deceptive - My Ma's feller has an honest to God 427 Shelby Cobra, and he lives in a modest semi on a middling housing estate. Its likely worth more than his house.

Love the Imp, seen a few with the BMW K1000 bike engine fitted on Youtube, there are a few other engines used in 'hot' Imps but the Beemer engine is designed to lay flat in the bike so it's a perfect match

Shiny Capri, with a Tesla of some kind in the background.

Spotted these on today’s ride Potters Crouch near St Albans.
( EDIT) sorry it’s not well framed, my companions were waiting.

An elderly (as I assume from the number plate) Morgan with tonneau.

Not as old as it is pretending to be, and therefore sporting illegal number plates. In fact it failed its MOT in 2008 for this. Fair play to the owner though, it gets used! It’s on over 170,000 miles.

How about a really dull & boring classic - a Vauxhall Cavalier Mk1 in sh*t brown with brown/beige velour interior as befits the upmarket 2.0 GLS?

Purchased last year for a massive £800 according to Classic Cars For Sale

Actually I think driving one of those now would be quite cool
