funny enough a mozzy past me on Thursday, coming back from my mates, an old bloke was driving it.
also a 20 year + old Ferrari past me going to his too. I think it was a Ferrari 288, that was on the country road.

Had a Lamborghini Diablo drive past me the other day, business man at the wheel. Was very very cool :p

I followed an odd car out of the fuel station yesterday, he only put in a tenner of petrol lol. It looked really old, like 1950s style but was on a new style R reg (97/98). 2 seater and didn't appear to have a roof at all, just poppers so you could put one over the seats/dash when you weren't driving.
Whatever it was took forever to pull away but then shot away from me like a rocket, so guessing it was something with an oldschool turbo!...until we got to a steep hill where diesel torque prevailed anyway.
Wish I'd written down the reg now, didn't recognise it as any 'common' make either.

Morgan?

I was about to say that,
RE: Rare cars you dont see anymore, - Toms306 - 27-09-2014
Nah it wasn't a morgan, smaller than that, similar to a Sprite shape.
RE: Rare cars you dont see anymore, - procta - 27-09-2014
could have been a westfield or a caterham
RE: Rare cars you dont see anymore, - Toms306 - 27-09-2014
Oh dear, just google imaged Westerfield as a typo....really don't do that!
Doesn't look like a Westfield or Caterham from a quick search though.

There was a company (Banham) that did a kit to turn a Mini into a Sprite lookalike...so that could have been on a 98 plate.
RE: Rare cars you dont see anymore, - Toms306 - 27-09-2014
Haha, what has been seen can't be unseen!

Just had a look, the top pic on google looks similar and even the same colour as well. I reckon that's what it was!
Had never even heard of that before.

one of the lads posted a link to the total of cars that were binned in the stupid scrappage scheme, have a look.

Saw a bronze colour NSX near Weymouth a couple of weeks back too.
