Spoke briefly to the owner/driver, I asked how often he drives it and did today’s conditions put him off? He happily drives it whenever he can and isn’t unsuitable (too many passengers/dog etc).
Love seeing classics getting used and not wrapped up and locked away out of sight.Love that Merc, great colour too.

yeah spot on about classics being used and not wrapped away. That Lotus is superb, and adds to the recent spot that @Crispin_Glover made of the Excel over in Walthamstow and the Elite I saw being parked in Hackney a couple of weeks ago.
Got a lot of time for those Merc estates too. There is one half-abandoned near my house. Tempted to leave note under the wiper as it deserves to be saved.

Very cool, apparently one of only 300 made in 1978 to mark Lotus winning the F1 championship that year, in their famous black and gold JPS liveried car. Funnily enough I saw that exact car on The Mall in London's famous London last November.
Spots this week, a nice 80's throwback yuppie killer.
And these are scattered all over the globe and still running, but you rarely see them looking as pristine as this. Want.
