Clever - if it wasn't so tall it'd be very convincing.

ooh - jealous - Would love a Pantera, think they were well ahead of their time, and don't hear much about them compared to other classics such as GT40, E type, Countach, Ferrari BB. I think the Pantera was better than all of them

Spotted today, don't think I've seen one of these before.

Ok, it's a Ferrari, but a biscuit for anyone who can tell me what model and approx. year it is.

A further minty, foil wrapped biscuit if you can guess the location the pic was taken in.

Thanks Steve, just been reading up on it. In all honesty I had no idea what it was. Claim your biscuit at Stanford Hall.

OK, just done about 450 miles this week and some of the 'unusual' car spottings are....

About 100+ VW campers on sunday as there was a 'dubfest type event on at (I think) Peterborough showground. Not usually a bus fan, but some would definitely be my sort of thing. Plus loads of golfs, corrados etc.

Then past Silverstone / Banbury sort of area where there are usually loads of nice cars on the road. Two Porsche Panameras. yes, even more horrible in the flesh. Absolutely detest them.

Then on Tuesday evening a small village we drove through had a classic car show on, just as we went through 1st time a few cars were turning up, Austin 7, Morgan, Austin Healey and a few others of that era. We then returned about an hour later and there must have been about 100 cars and 50 or so bikes. Far too many to take in. But we were running late and couldn't stop.

Then today on side of the road in a layby were 8 hotrods and about 4 or 5 big american 'cruisers'.

Shame our camera was packed away for all these, some really amazing random 'spottings'

And only 2 cinquecentos and one seicento.
