Fiat 126. With canvas sunroof. Accy needs one of these to compliment his "nuovo" 500!

That MK1 XR2 is gorgeous, the best one for me. The alloys ruin it though, not sure if they're off a later Capri 2.8i or a MK3 Escort RS Turbo. Would look a lot better with the original pepper pot alloys.

I keep forgetting about the few I pass on my way to work, as I see them so regularly
In a 300 yard stretch, at various houses there's;
House 1.
Range Rover ('F' plate, I think?), a 2-door, with TD badge on the tailgate (which by age signifies a VM diesel)
VW 'Bay' bus/camper
Lotus Eclat (I think??) 'B plated'??

House 2.
All In VGC!
2 x Suzuki SJ, possibly 413s, not 410?
VW Polo estate (mk2)

House 3.
SAAB 99 ('G plated') a daily driver!!

House 4.
All SORN/semi-derelict
Porch 924
Alfa-Romeo (not sure which one)
A 3rd car, which is hidden by the 924

Not to everyone's taste but I love the lead sled look and those old Mercury's were made for it

Oh, that is nice!!!!

I have a liking for American ‘muscle cars’, but ‘sleds’ are also nice

The Forest Rover for me, please!

Not quite the same, but Brian Setzer used to own the '51 Mercury from ‘American Graffiti’

That's a Boxster based Iconic Autobody 356 Speedster (details found after doing a bit of searching - I vaguely remembered something about them from many years ago) - http://iconicautobody.com/

Edited - I'd rather have an 'improved' 356 rather than a retro butchered Boxster

 

[mistyoptic]

that was in Oban. We also saw some sort of TR outing on Mull but I was on the wrong side of the bus at that point so no pics. Think there were five or six, mostly TR6s but at least one 4 (in bright red)

Whilst I do agree, a proper 356 is serious money, but a pal of mine bought a perfectly nice boxster for a couple of thousand quid. That said, whilst the front end of the pretend 356 is OK the back end is plain ugly, so I don't think it's worth the bother
