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

Taunus 12M I think?

My brother had a later TC2 (which spawned the mk 4 cortina) with a small V6 engine.

I thought Taunus and then discounted it as I thought it was too big. I’m sure you’re right, there was a V6 badge on it. Would it have been an Essex?

2 litre Cologne V6 I think.

Just checked and it’s definitely a 12M (FWD BTW) but they had a V4 originally (1.2, 1.3, 1.5 or 1.7). The TC got the 2 or 2.3 V6.

Some sort of old European Ford. Similar to a late 60’s Zephyr. In Argostoli today.

Ahhh I see. They’re the right way up on my Apple devices. This is a common bug on forums.

Rolls Royce 20/25 on the A95 yesterday. Looked fantastic. Keeping a steady 40, even through a 30!

From one extreme to the other! Seen in Birmingham today.
Probably wouldn't manage 40.

Common or garden MGB, Marykirk, Sunday 23rd June. A disturbingly pink shade of red and looking like it has had new rear springs fitted but needs new front springs. The summer Sunday sunshine brings them out of hibernation - still good to see though.

Gloucester - Silverstone -Yeovil - Gloucester today and the classics were out in force on the roads

Several Austin-Healeys, obviously a Gilbern meet on somewhere as I’ve never seen that many on the road at different times, likewise a long line of TVRs in Bourton on water (and not an AA truck in sight

).

City edition

In Hamburg the other week, lots of old golfs, polos, BMWs and Mercs, a few Alpinas, a lovely 2002. This was the highlight although arguably it's cheating

And in London today, a nice old Peugeot 304 estate, a few minis, a lovely B reg Porsche 356 fixed head where the suit wearing driver was sweating his box off, and this on Marylebone Road. I think it's an F40 but couldn't get close to it. There was a Rolls under the cover next to it

Funny you should mention an F40 - I was followed by a fake one this morning (reg is ENZ something) - actually an MR2.
