Spotted Today.

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
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.

Oooo yum!! Wolseley version too.
Don't think I have seen that one before

Nice colour!! Shame you can't buy it

Maybe if you buy it for me then we are all square
Can't believe they pay you to drive round taking pictures of old cars

If I get it then the asking price will be a swap for a TC saloon
