Spotted this today
Thought i would start this thread on things that are spotted while out on your daily chores.It can be anything from a racecar being towed down the motorway,something in someones shed,a customised car gone bad,anything rare or even funny.I spot alot of stuff on any given day some cool some strange.So lets see what is out there. . .
Re: Spotted this today

Re: Spotted this today
I think this car is absolutely perfect and well proportioned .
The Packard style front from the 30s.
The headlamps flow right to the rear wheel arches.
This truly is a magnificent work of art .
Never tire of looking at this as the knife edge coachwork is so complex.

Not a car but, dropped into a mates workshop while down North Shore on Tuesday and a guy had bought one of his collections to show him.
I did not believe my eyes when I saw it.

A beautitul addition to any serious collectors mancave, a fine investment.
Was the bees knees then, still does it for me now
Exactly the same colour as my 1974 Kawasaki 750 H2B
