Well spotted..never noticed that.

Photo was taken at Portland Bill Lighthouse (well worth a visit if you are nearby) and a guy admiring the cars also said he followed a yellow one on his way there. He thought there may be some event on..? Last place I ever expected to see another M100.

White Elan

I saw a lovely white Elan driving through Tonbridge this morning, hood down. Unusually I was in the Volvo at the time taking some S2 wheels to be refurbished.

Not guilty Sheriff. I sold my Collapso red back in April. But you will still see me in an NMY and Blackie ploughing up and down the A49

PS I've see a Collapso red a few times just outside Leominster heading north on the A49 to Ludlow. Maybe the same owner as the one you saw near Old Radnor ???

Followed calypso red H212BFG from Upton on Severn to M50 today at about 2.15pm. Flashed and waved, but I was in the blue VW T4 van so was ignored. Anyone on here?

Close but no cigar! :D
My Calypso Red SE is H244BFG but she was tucked up in her garage as we were at our grandson's 2nd birthday party.
Originally Frosts of Chicester's demonstrator back in the day so the one you saw probably came from down that way.

Calypso Red S.E with an older gentleman driving with the roof down a month or so ago. Heading away from Lichfield in the direction of Burntwood...

YOU, my friend are responsible for re-infecting me with the M100 bug... A bug I thought I'd gotten out of my system. And now causing the search for car number 2.

I hate you! :roll:

Inside the NEC Birmingham today by my lad whilst he was setting up the Young Guns stand, he's there with the Yellow peril. Is this someone on here? Not the best picture as taken in poor light with an iPhone
