Spotted today… show us your weird, rare and gorgeous spots

Forgot to add these last week. Lady turned up to a local car meet in this Ferrari 250 California, 3.5 V12. Absolutely stunning.

That can't be a 'real one', can it? It definitely isn't a Z3 based one.
It would have a 3 litre 'Columbo' V12 if it's a Fezza.
It could be one of the two on a DK Engineering youtube video which they 'restored' in the UK.

It has genuine 1960s Marchal foglights, what looks like a genuine 1960s Nardi steering wheel (solid spokes), genuine rear light clusters, genuine rear reflectors, a genuine tonneau cover and a genuine windscreen. The exhausts sit like they should for a Ferrari V12 aswell.

Whatever it is, it's a seriously valuable car, that.

AND a seriously beautiful one.

Well it’s definitely a 3.5 V12 and definitely a Ferrari. Whether it’s a real £15m plus or a reworked 308/328 I’m not sure (my gut says real). It was truly stunning and perfect in every way. I also know it was inherited by a lady from her father’s collection of cars (think it was 15 Ferraris in total!). She now uses them as often as possible.

Does the lady in question need a loving husband? I'm sure I could find a place in my heart for 15 Ferraris. 8)

You're hoping for a Ferrari or two, but all you'll get is an old nag...

As long as she likes Beef Wellington, that's sorted. :evil:

You don't make sausages for Tesco by any chance? :lol:

I've already got one of those, but she didn't come with 15 Ferraris. So I would take my chances and say it would be a 'yes from me'.

Is this a Ford Corsair? Spotted today in St Neots Cambs UK

 

[Mr Tidy]

No that was the first ever Capri, or Ford Consul Capri to give it it's full name. Probably the most stylish Capri as well, but it never sold in big numbers.

Looking a little sorry for itself but no denying what it is!! Parked up in our village (it’s not a regular so must be visiting)

Then this beautiful 2004 early face-lift SLK, for sale with Peter Anderson Cars here in St Neots. Only 41k miles!! It’s as near to mint as you’re going to get. Nearly bought it myself!!

Maybe… but it’s a genuinely lovely car

For a hairdresser maybe!

A 1.8 litre auto doesn't scream excitement.

You do realise you have now just offended 95% of this forum, what with them all owning small 2 seater convertibles! oke:

Come on Iain, play nice. :rofl: :rofl:

I'm glad "Dr Meg" isn't my GP. If you are that lacklustre about your B5 Alpina, imagine how conscientious she would be about medical stuff.

I am playing nice!

Z4s always had at least 2 litre engines and they never stuck a diesel in their 2 seater, unlike Mercedes. :roll:

I know....you ALWAYS play nice (and tidy).
