Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted October 7, 2021 Author Area Representative Share Posted October 7, 2021 No idea.Today's unusual sight is a well cared for Ford Zodiac. Clearly resprayed as it is matt (or semi-matt) black. Upholstery looks excellent, new I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted October 11, 2021 Author Area Representative Share Posted October 11, 2021 On Saturday, there was a lovely looking Karman Ghia softtop. LH drive.I failed to take a photo, the traffic was moving at about 6mph and I was walking at 4. Additionally, there was a cyclist in the way.

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted October 13, 2021 Author Area Representative Share Posted October 13, 2021 Meanwhile is this unusual enough?I certainly haven't seen many. I've always had an affection for Alfa spyders and love the 159 style headlamp array. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john aston Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 A Humber Sceptre - the upwardly mobile version of post # 1 Hillman Hunter . The one I saw was Peacock blue , immaculate , someone's pride and joy but testament to the ghastly badge engineering of the late Sixties. Tack a bit of chrome on the front of what we used to call a repmobile , glue a slice of wood on the dash and it's instant Terry and June . Hideous .

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted November 3, 2021 Author Area Representative Share Posted November 3, 2021 John, hideous maybe but nothing like as ghastly as the Austin Atlantic which attended the local classic car show before lockdown. The chrome doesn't help, certainly.Martin_mad, a very rare car! Well spotted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Whitley Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Secma QT500. I thought at first glance that the badge said "Smegma" which is... unfortunate.505cc engine "limited to 21bhp".Dimensions Length - 2400mm, width - 1400mm, height - 1100mm, gross weight - 398Kg Top speed 110 mph Fuel tank capacity 21 litres (4.6 gallons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAndrewE Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Never heard of these so looked it up. Top speed is quoted as 110 km/h which is not quite as scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougBaker Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 This looked almost new in constant use moving stuff around whizzing up and down the pavements and yes I did see it on two wheels around the corners, proper Italian driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john aston Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 A Piaggio Ape , if memory serves . 'Ape', as in Italian for bee - as I found out when wondering why Eddie Irvine had 'Ape' on his overalls ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support Team Shaun_E Posted December 17, 2021 Support Team Share Posted December 17, 2021 Taken a while ago but still unusual - immaculate 1950's Corvette in West Wittering: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted December 23, 2021 Author Area Representative Share Posted December 23, 2021 Cool! And quite a contrast to this 1950s car (below).Today, as I was driving through Gamlingay, I spotted this.I thought a P4 pretty unusual and unlikely to be outdoors and up on axle stands.Imagine my surprise when I realised that a second was just inside the adjacent fence.

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted December 24, 2021 Author Area Representative Share Posted December 24, 2021 Maybe.Probably a copy of "Radio On", where a P4 features throughout, in the DVD cabinet too!http://www.cinemamuseum.org.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Radio-On-2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
