On the way to the club run: an early 30s Austin 7 in yellow and black, sedately leading a small queue up a hill. I couldn't quite catch it .

In a tight, fast grupetto of six, I caught sight of a Lotus Elan in red & white.

On the way home the heat forced me into a pub, and this was in the car park.

I used to have a diecast of one. Had removable wheels, I recall.

It looks like it. Didn't TVR have them on a model?

That's nice. I've never seen one of those before.
Reminds me of a Ginetta.

A car fest ride this morning.

A Japanese import Honda Integra that hasn't moved in about 3 years.

An XJS convertible and a Roller

Triumph Stag

A Mark 1 Escort arriving at the Ford Show at Santa pod

Then finally a Mark 1 Golf convertible parked next to a Porsche 928 ( there's quite a few locally).
