100% agree, such a cool cool car, and Diva a fantastic film.

Two less exotic sightings in the High Street today

Not sure it counts as a classic but there was a lovely TVR Sagaris in the car park in Keswick today

Mental machines!!

I’ve been a passenger in one on a track (Bruntingthorpe), & it dropped a Lamborghini Gallardo(?) like a stone out of the corner

A 2.0 Ghia no less. Classic with bike-carrying potential

@tyred

There used to be a garage/'collector', on the A644 Brighouse & Denholme Road, which runs between Queensbury & Denholme Gate (north-west of Bradford)
It used to have a heck of a lot of Sierras on the forecourt
The site is cleared now, or was the last time I passed (about a month ago)
Doubtless, when I go again, there'll be houses there

The images are from January 2011

Sierras have become an expensive commodity here nowadays. Not so much the hatch or the estate but any Sapphire or 3 door is highly prized by the boy racers and customisers.

I always hated them but they grew on me over the years and nowadays I recognise it for the very bold piece of styling that it was and wouldn't say no to one myself if I'm honest. It was a much more interesting shape than things like Opel Asconas or Nissan Bluebirds.

How about a classiic Ford with little bike carrying potential from this afternoon

I'd still like the Sierra 4x4 estate

Opel Ascona, the RWD was far preferable to our Cavalier. a neighbour, when I was a kid had a 2-door saloon, a Dolomite Sprint! (sadly the Dolly was on chrome 8-spokes, not the original alloys)
This shape

I had the 2.0 SR, we take all the gadgets and gizmos as normal now but the SR, while a good spec then, seems simply stone age by todays standards, yet id love mine again.

On from the parking area at Silverstone this afternoon - I saw it coming in and had to track it down to find out what it was (details at the bottom) - don't know if it would be called a classic, but it's definintely unusual.

Innocenti Mini?
