What cars did you see today? (Non-Scimitar)

Looked at a TVR Chimera in a storage facility yesterday (spit and polish job for Rich "posh twit" March) and next to it was a Fiat 132. My dad had one in the 80s after his 131 supermiafiori rusted away

That's exactly what I did 3 years ago ... I really need to take care of mine and put it back on the road !

My son has a pre cat TVR Griffith , I tell him it gets 30 to the gallon as a journey of a 100 miles always means a return journey home via the RAC

Collection from recent trips to NEC a few weekends back, Malmesbury and Bristol with an Aintree trip from this morning

Delightful Rochdale

Some weird truck thingy

The ubiquitous bus

In stafford services

barry boy on M6

Body kit fitted where it touched, car appeared very lively to drive for sure twitching all over the place

928 having a lift

Series three also

Some really flush git driving his Jensen to work along M6 this morning (jealous really wish I could afford the fuel for one)

Also a VDP 1300 on the back of a trailer and some Bentley blower type car over Malmesbury way but didn't get shots of them.

Also spotted a turbo on the way to Cheshire, which Steve is it going to though?

While walking round sunny Leamington Spa today, I passed 'Murphy's Bar and Emporium'. I didn't catch it on camera, but when we got nearer, the old TV Batman theme started blasting out and a short man dressed as Batman came charging out of the bar to the three wheeler. All of this was lost on my 13 year old daughter.

Apparently, if you change the engine and gearbox out for something more modern (Corvette 6.2) you get 20 mpg + ..

About a dozen Morgans on the B9015 between Rothes and Fochabers this afternoon. No photos as I was driving, and, yes, at least 2 had MOG plates!

Could have been but I can't find anything online about it.

Probably the most Morgans I have seen together at any time.

In Leek passing me in opposite direction, today, was a mint-looking mid/late-sixties Sunbeam Alpine in bright red with a black soft top in position, despite the sunshine - we exchanged a wave.

Three French registered Mogs Northbound on the A417 this afternoon.

Can't resist putting this picture up (I've already posted it on the Drive-It Day thread).
Well, it is a Non-Scimitar, isn't it!
