Pacific Blue and mud too... but I added lightness today, I cleaned it, but it won't stay clean long. Very dirty roads in 'tractor land'. :(

5pm today looked like a black Se B&Q and Sytner BMW in Romford, turned left off the A12. Lost sight so not sure if they went into B&Q or carried on

Maybe the Headcorn car has been fettled at Maidstone Sportscars, based just outside the village.

Calypso red se heading along East Way near Preston, top up but it is a chilly day and a chance of rain so I'll let whoever it was off on this occasion :-)
In dire need of a wash though so clearly getting some use which is good to see

OK, this isn't exactly current, but I've just found the bit of paper I scribbled the reg number on (screwed up in the depths of the door pocket):

Returning from last year's excellent meeting in Buxton (thanks again, Gareth) at 12:15 on 13th September 2016 I spotted Elan G91 ?VV at the Styford roundabout at the junction of the A68 & A69 (i.e. just south of Hadrian's wall) - Pacific Blue I believe. Lovely day, so we both had the hoods down.
You were three cars ahead of me for a couple of miles, but I didn't pass them to give you a wave because they were police cars. :burnout: :roll:

Belatedly, :smt006 Hello!

It is purple. Officially known as Palacio, but the colour is purple, so as far as I'm concerned you can call it that! :D And it wasn't mine.
