Spotted Today.

Post by vermillion » Thu Jun 13, 2013 5:05 pm

Driving back from Peterborough today and I decided to take the scenic route instead of the A1. Rather glad I did as I spotted this 1.8 coupe by the side of the road. It was parked outside a place called Popey's Cadillac Ranch and is not one that I've seen before. Looking over the gate, as I could in a nice high van, there were a number of classics of different types but also a, or what looked like, a Suntor needing a fair amount of work. Didn't like to pry to much as it's private property but does anyone know this car, anyone on here. If no-one knows it I may have to ring the bell the next time I go by.

You must have missed it at BL Day in 2011 :wink:

Mind you it was parked at the back of the field near all the non BL stuff! A mate of mine who lives near Peterborough said he sees it around a bit, think it's owned by an elderly couple. Lower part has been painted a very different shade of gold.

Might have known that you'd seen it Josh. The front of the front wings are painted in gold Hammerite from what I could see. Probably hoping he could make the wings last another 6 years before replacing them.

Ok it seems like this is Gary's car spotting week. Spotted this one today and there is a definate possibility that it's for sale. It does need a lot of work though. The rear n/s wing is rotting from the top as are both front wings. Go on then Josh tell me you've seen this one before.
