Rare cars you’ve seen on the road.

[Lord Alfred]

Seen two in the last fortnight that I’ve never seen previously.

A Jaguar D-type on the A690 which looked and sounded original rather than a kit car....and just today an Aston Martin Lagonda at Chester le St which to be fair was a big ugly lump.

Got to say the 50’s design is more aesthetically pleasing than the 70’s wedge styling.

Does it count?
Should be rarer now as they’re driven by women now iirc

Paul the barber on crozier street had a whole bunch of classic cars, there's been some real oldies parked in that street.

Shame he's retired, he was a canny bloke.

The company that I worked for in 1993 had a blue Orion as a pool car. They were quite nice to drive.

I think that the best car I’ve driven was a Honda Civic that I had as a courtesy car in about 2001. I had to keep the revs quite high but it was a very smooth drive. That’s about all of my car knowledge in 2 paragraphs.

Speaking of Fords.....can’t remember the last time I saw a Sierra.

They were notorious for rusting body work iirc.

I saw an entire Ford Transit once, not just the headlights two centimetres from my back window.

Spotted a ford consul yesterday.

I saw a Ford Capri the other day. Very rare these days, not like the 70s.

I've also seen the Harry Potter triple decker bus parked in Wood Green for the filming of The Prisoner of Azkaban in Palmers Green.

When did he retire? Was only there a couple of months ago

Wouldn’t know tbh. Saw one the other day that looked like an old car. Bloke was wearing goggles to drive it. Could have been a Ford Fiesta like

Owned two Capris back in the 70’s. A 1600 which I passed my test in and a 3 litre GXL with the V6 engine. I also passed up the opportunity to buy a RS 3100 which are going for megabucks these days.
