On my commute I pass a nice looking black SE, always parked outside in the same spot without a cover.
It's on Castle Grove Rd between Knaphill and Chobham, Surrey. Plate ends "SSF".

Nice colapso red Elan spotted blatting through west Edinburgh last Sat at about 2130 looked very well kept. Waved but was in my undercover white van so not noticed
Currently Elan-less and on the lookout for a good one.

Don't get a chance to do a "Spotted" that often, but was anyone making a trip down the east coast?

Calypso Red that looked a bit dusty/matt almost as if the clear-coat had been completely removed travelling south on Interstate 95 north of Springfield, Virginia at around 09:10 this morning. As we were headed northbound towards Washington D.C. we couldn't see the plate but it may have been Virginia or D.C. registered.
Ford Fiesta Mk2, VW Polo, Golf GTi, Lotus Elan, Honda Accord Coupe V6.

Calypso Red Cali #7683 - Bought at 29,000 miles, and sold at 75,000miles.
