One For Classic Car Fans.....

That looks like a Scirroco Storm, but the Storm wasn't available in white. Wrong wheels and lights for a Scala.

The wheels suggest a GT, a 1.6 carb model, but tarted up with body kit parts from possibly a Scala.

Wandering round that there London yesterday and came across perhaps my favourite car (on the somewhat realistic shopping list at any rate)

A lovely TR3A albeit broken down

TR3A

And also a very nice Merc SL

But a whilst later spotted this. A true bit of exotica, a Citroen SM, which is essentially a DS, itself a very interesting and impressive car but with a Maserati engine. I've only ever seen the one previously in the wild. It was the same colour but not the same one

And further down the same street was an estate car version of the DS, evidently a daily user as it was full of junk for the dump but nevertheless in fine condition

And to cap it all yet another Citroen, perhaps the coolest car ever

Let's see what I spot today

Some interesting stuff today on my ride this morning. All available at https://www.newmanandreidy.co.uk/used-cars-for-sale/

First up and MGB RV8 if I remember rightly?

A Ferrari 599 GTB

And then my favourite would be the Datsun Sunny samurai sukati

And the rear end of a Mercedes 170s and a side glimpse of a TVR chimaera

Blimey Martin, thats a good haul. Are you sure you have gone back in time somehow?

Might go back with my wallet

They quite often have a few classic cars in the showroom tbh

Rather splendid old Roller in immaculate condition; presumably the posh hotel's own limo. Would this be a Phantom rather than a Cloud?

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Phantom 5

It's what comes of spending time in that there London Village I guess - although I notice they've taken the gold paving up nowadays?

I was trying to figure out what the red car was as I just looked at the pictures and never noticed the text. Was thinking it's either a Lancia or a Datsun. It's the pick of them for me it's absolutely stunning. Not totally struck on the rear spoiler, but get that it's very a Japanese thing. Made some stunning cars Datsun and Toyota in the 70's. Was watching Car SOS the other day where they were restoring a Mk1 Celica, thought it was a gorgeous car. If I had the money would certainly have something like that as opposed to an old Ford, that's just me though. Never heard of the Samuri Sukati, very nice thanks.
