Not an Elan, but cool (or maybe, fake cool).

Can anybody tell? Is it live, or is it memorex?

What is that supposed to be, a convertible GTO? Yeah, that would be fake. I'd guess it's a Corvette.

Well, since there wasn't ever an actual Ferrari GTO 250 convertible (as far as I know), it would have to be a fake. Plus, no way is there anybody working on the flightline at the Air Force base who could afford a real GTO. Underneath all the fibreglass? It's anybody's guess I suppose. The only one like it I found in a brief internet search said it was an Alfa, I think.

Still, not something you see everyday.

I remember when I was a teenager, there was a guy who lived not too far from us, who had a Bradley GT, or some such kit car covering a VW. My best friend said it was "a gold-plated turd."

Come on guys :offtopic: , this is for M100 that have been spotted :roll: Not for some American poop that can`t go round corners :smt081

Might be worth starting a Thread in the :offtopic: section maybe call it Other make/models spotted :?

Yesterday afternoon, saw a NMY with TSW alloys I think, Reg A5 EVM in between Croston and Leyland, not far from Wymott prison.

Anyone any ideas?

Spotted a black Elan with the roof down cruising through Clevedon near Bristol today
It had a sticker showing tow point so maybe a track car or possibly it breaks down a lot :lol:

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?
