I saw 2x Vauxhall Cavalier Mk2 the other day, doing a mini convoy around Bicester. One looked like a shed and the other looked mint (but still shed like).

Saw a 64 reg Bowler Defender, followed a few minutes later by an Aston Cygnet - first time I'd seen either on the road

BMW Z8 parked outside the Olive Tree Italian restaurant tonight in Ledbury.
No sign of Pierce Brosnan though (poseur that he is)!

Funnily enough, I saw a Z8 on the way home yesterday, near Bedford.

Went to get some new tyres yesterday and was queued up behind an Ultima Spyder and a minty late-eighties 200sx twin turbo.

And later on followed a Datsun 240z on the way out of Membury Services. Good sound.

And whilst I'm here, passed by a DeLorean in Southampton a couple of weeks ago.

Went and purchased our replacement for the Croma today and as we drove back into the village saw a Tesla Model S parked up - first time I'd seen one.

Looked ok - but also a bit like the bastard son of some illegal Quattroporte/XF relationship laugh

Then, got home and switched the telly on - and the model S was the subject of "How its Made"! Weird!!

Hardly exotic, but I saw a Renault 5 GT Turbo in Southsea yesterday.

It looked mint and I can't remember the last time I saw one.

Delorean DMC-12 parked up on Osborne Road, Earlsdon Coventry last night. First one I have ever seen on the road away from a show.

If it's dark blue then I usually see it parked opposite the Shell station near Fratton park, and yes in very good nick!

MrsC and I have a stand at the Wilton House Classic and Supercar show. From where I'm sitting, I can see about 100 staggeringly beautiful and rare cars. And 4 Veyrons...

Stunning White Aventador Roadster with black roof on the Coventry Road in Bedworth this afternoon. Sounded fantastic as it got to the M6 and accelerated up the slip road thumb

Looks like the wealthy Sikh car-nut near me has now added a 458 Speciale to his collection love Red with the Blue/white centre stripe.
So far I have seen him in a 360/430/California/612 - A Murcielago, an MC Stradale Granturismo and his Blower Bentley..... Respect sir! thumb

Metro 6R4 driving over the new bridge in Hereford tonight.

Sounded superb.

Couldn't keep up in my Kangoo wheelchair car. Think it needs tuning, or something.....

I've been spoiled over the last few days. My office is in the High Street in Petersfield and a lot of people using the A3 cut through here to get to Goodwood.

So far, I recall seeing;

2x Ferrari 458
Noble M12
Rolls Royce Wraith
Ariel Atom
Ferrari 360

It's making my otherwise quiet day a little more interesting.

The cracking Autumn weather this week has seen quite a few specials out and about including a 3-wheeled Messerschmit near Warwick Uni, an XK120 racing a Fulvia Coupe along the A46 at Warwick and a stunning Lime Green Aventador Roadster today near Hearsall Common in Coventry. Oh and almost forgot - theres a chap in Leamington who has bought a 991 911 - one of the 50th Anniversary ones in Geyser Grey - they look superb IMO complete with Fusch effect wheels....
Plus spotted a Camo'ed Evoque Convertible (why?!) outside the JLR HQ in Whitley.

Saw a beautiful Porsche T6B 356 Carrera 2GT the other day. And the driver nailed it coming out of a 30 into a NSL. Turned into DK Engineering in Chorleywood.

Yikes only 5000 miles - that can't of been cheap!

PAR 921R? Only one I know of, saw it at a couple of car shows years ago, looking quite rough at the time. Hopefully had some tlc since.
