Hello all!
Had a right old time of spotting of classics and exotica - took a bike ride from my 6th form college in Guildford, down through Shalford, Chilworth and Albury to the A25, then, at Dorking, went off up the A24 to Leatherhead. All in all, I spotted (in G'fd) a McLaren MP4-12C (their new supercar), a TVR Chimaera (right in front of which was an 80s Rangey V8), a race-prepped DB4, a genuine 289 Cobra, a Series One E-type, a Triumph Stag, a rally-prepped Mk1 Ford Scrote, a Morris Thou, a Pagoda SL...
Then, on Monday, a right old time of it (again) - one of the teachers at my college had left his (modern) S-type at home and brought his white Stag instead (and left it unlocked, with a valuable battery booster thing in the boot!). It was attracting much more interest from us youngsters than the modern Audi RS4 about 20 feet away did... then, just as said teacher left in the Stag, a white TR6 went past the college... then, on my way home, I spotted a bright red TR6 on the A246 near West Horsley. Minutes later, I spotted, opposite Bell & Colvill in West Horsley (Saab, Subaru and Lotus dealer), a 2000-ish maroon Ford Mustang and, parked behind it, painted a similar crimson/maroon, and generally looking magnificent, JXC822D, which appeared to be a NADA-type P6 V8. However, with a D-reg, it's clearly far too old to be a NADA... and I seem to remember that JXC generally indicated a Rover factory car. Also, I noticed it had big twin exhausts...
Can anyone shed any light on what this beast is?
