On the Dieppe - Newhaven ferry today.

There was also a half-timbered Moris Minor estate in tip top condition. Are they unusual enough to count?

P.S. As I was at "Classic Days" I could post lots of pictures of cars there but I feel that is cheating and spotting in the real world is the better approach

Love the XJS. I very nearly bought a V12 coupe back in 2013 (great condition, low miles, £1,500) but ended up with an XJ instead. Thought the straight 6 would be more reliable, but alas that car was riddled with electrical gremlins and I got rid 4 months later.

I was on holiday in Italy a week ago. Whilst enjoying a gelato overlooking the lake, waiting for the ferry across Lake Como from Varenna to Bellagio I spotted a classic Aston Martin and an old Ferrari. I abandoned my wife and baby to go and take a closer look where upon I see a Swiss plated RHD Aston DB6 in a lovely red colour parked next to a convertible Ferrari.

Initially, I wasn't sure what model it was. I thought it might have been a 250, but surely nobody would be out actually driving a 250?! But when it was started up I noticed it sounded like a V12 and at that point I did a quick search only to discover it was in fact a Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder SWB, one of 55 made and worth in excess of $15 million...

The Aston is the spit of one I was offered by a friend of my Mum and Dad when I was 23 back in 1989 after his sight had gone and he had to give up his license - I foolishly turned him down and bought an RX7 instead - he offered it to me for £14k - what a mistake-aa to make-aa.
