Spotted in Brizzle - Interesting Motors

[GavGav]

Ok, so it wasn't that interesting... but I see plenty of decent, rare motors around and am always interested in details. And I'm talking nice, interesting cars, not Lee Trundle's Bentley or the 360's that trawl up and down Whiteladies Rd every Saturday.

Saw an AC Cobra Coupe drive past my front door on Saturday (Bristol), blue with the twin white stripes running boot to bonnet. Presumably a replica - it was WX54 *** - but it's the first time I've seen a Coupe on the road, rather than the usual drop-top cobra. Is this a local car ?

That big old black thing, God knows what it is, that's been parked up at the top of Goldney Hill since at least as far back as 1986. Should be a listed monument.

I've seen a Veyron, Maybach, Phantom, Arnage and a R8, oh and a Macca F1 around Bristol in the past year.

All in the same spot, but not at the same time.

Wandered past it Sunday and had a good luck. The one with the huge exhaust and the spacesaver sat on the passenger seat. Sad that it's been neglected.

Sad isn't it? My dad had one of those back in the day; great car.

<vulture mode> one with poppy up lights or the 'frog eyed' last model shape?

I think the Farbio is made around Dyrham Park.

Yes i believe its made at Doynton i saw it again this afternoon
at about 4.30 traveling at speed up Tog hill, sounded great

I know a chappie from Westbury who works for them.

Also the invicta factory is always busy and there are usually a good few cars there being built or serviced.

It's gone! I reckon Bint's made off with it...

[The Bobster]

I work just around the corner from the Invicta factory and they seem
to have been testing a new grey one over the last couple of days.
It must be the loudest car that drives out of Bumpers Farm trading
estate

Anyway, back to Bristol, in Bishopston there's a Lancia Thema 8.32. Sounded fantastic when going past but it appears to have packed up as it hasn't moved for months and has a "for sale" sign in it. Also, same road, one of those plastic Alfa Zagato SZ things, an acquired taste I think (which I haven't acquired yet).

Lol no, we have an ST205, don't need another GT4, but there might have been some useful spares

[AngryApples]

Intrigued to know who owns the new Phantom thats often parked up at Clifton Triangle

[bobthemonkey]

The black/blue one or the silver one?

[AngryApples]

Didnt realise there were 2

Also, couldve sworn it was all Black?
