... if it was you, I was in the silver VX that followed you from Harpenden to Redbourn.

Nice noise!

Was it a Mantis coupe with a rear spoiler? If so that was me, can't say for sure what my route back was as I was following a friend in a morgan plus 8.

My knowledge of Marcos is somewhat limited, but it was a very wide drop top, no rear spoiler...

[Quick bit of googling]

Probably a Mantara Spyder, on a P plate. Lovely looking thing, and with a great sound - quite surprised I managed to keep up, to be honest!

If you chaps are around the Herts area, keep a look out for a recently painted, utterly mad fliptone Mantis spider.

I dont know who's it is (and I thought I knew most of the owners round this area), but it looks astounding - a proper 3/5 colour candy-apple flip...beautiful

There's an 'F' reg Mantula just moved in down the road from me.

I'll be nipping down there later for a drool.
