Our flight was delayed back from Portugal earlier in the year so we visited a local shopping mall. The shops were cack, so I wandered around the car park to find this, again in mint condition:

Rover P6 3500S V8 on Hayling Island, I was tempted to trespass onto the owners driveway to take a closer look, but thought better of it. It would have meant opening the gate.

Gorgeous but I really wouldn't park such a lovely car there (bend where Albert Road becomes Highland Road, right?).

I've seen way too many wing mirrors get knocked when people crap themselves at the sight of a bus coming the other way.

Bang on, by the now ex-grave diggers pub. The buses can be frankly dangerous coming round what is effectly a blind corner.

Still at it I see!

Unfortunately I have no defence. I live in Southsea now and whilst it's generally a nice place to be, it can be a thoroughfare for the great unwashed to get to and from their respective kennels.

Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2

Only 12 ever made, these cars are worth close to 7 figures once fully restored. I went to my Dads garage the other day to find this beauty in the bodyshop!!!

click to enlarge click to enlarge click to enlarge click to enlarge

The bodywork is fiberglass and the chassis is aluminum. The client is doing a full restoration. The body alone cost £50,000 in its current state.

Here is some information on the TZ Range:

When its finished it should look something like this
