Classic cars on the road
Re: Classic cars on the road
Saw this outside Kenwood House Hampstead Heath North London this afternoon. Apparently being driven by Noel Fielding, who according to my daughter, who was with me, is a celebrity of sorts.

Re: Classic cars on the road
What is it? A Dodge Viper?
Seen in Hendon A not so subtle turbocharger installation
I wonder if any Jensen has had one installed?

Yeah, Dodge Viper.

Doesn't the makers plate give it away a bit?

Affectionately known as ‘the fridge’ I think.

Re: Classic cars on the road
More old warhorses seen in Pimlico.
I was in a queue of traffic today of 17 black cars, 6 white, 7 silver. And me, blue.
I'm looking to buy an Audi Q5 but the above are the only colours I'm offered
Along with a black interior and drug dealer blacked out rear windows. Too depressing for words
Such interesting cars in a tide of mediocre modern vehicles. I was in a queue of traffic today of 17 black cars, 6 white, 7 silver. And me, blue.

Re: Classic cars on the road
I have a friend who is looking at a new car, same as you Barrie he has been offered 4 colour options He does not want any of these and has asked for something else, the dealer said he would ring the importer to see what they could do. No call back so he presumes not and this is a £40k car. Remind me who is the customer?Barrie wrote: I was in a queue of traffic today of 17 black cars, 6 white, 7 silver. And me, blue.

Re: Classic cars on the road
The excuse I’m given by dealers is that it’s what the customer wants and any other colours consequently affect residual values at the end of a purchase agreement. I think most people buy these colours because there are no others on offer. Even the very chic French do the same. Anne-Marie’s bright blue Renault Scenic (terrific car!) can only be bought with a dismal black interior.

Spotted this Corrado VR6 in South Devon
Becoming rare , and looked tiny against modern cars.

That’s amazing Felix. From an age when cars had ‘faces’.
Love the divided windscreen. I wonder why they did that?

Re: Classic cars on the road
This summer in La Baule (France), I heard of a classic car gathering on a Sunday AM. Slight drizzle unfortunately (Brittany is not far) about 10 cars there, nothing exceptional until a very old guy turned up in a 1912 Le Zebre !! HE is almost as old as his car but what a beautiful sight. When he started the car using the crank, it started on 1/4 round. Impressive
Dashboard is quite simple
Also take a look at there maker of the light !!
