A modern car, so not sure if it counts, but just seem a Mclaren F1 being driven on the A334 close to home.

Think it was a blue one. We had a load of exotic cars in the area at one time, but since the 2 local football clubs are not performing as well as they once did, the number of Bentleys and Escalades has diminished.

Swallow Doretti on the A40 just outside Ross-on-Wye - looked lovely, was going well, and got a nice friendly wave from the driver... :D

On the A570 Southport Rd this afternoon, ok not a car, but a rare as rocking-horse poo motorbike, a Velocette Vogue from the 60's.
Perhaps a little technically advanced for the mass market, with a water-cooled flat twin engine, shaft drive, fibreglass body panels, twin headlights, rear view mirrors and flashing indicators !
All that made it more expensive and more underpowered than its contemparies and only about 400 were made from '62 to '68

Hi All

Just spotted a proper old Silver Ghost just south of Whitchurch on the A34 which makes the Green Godess I saw on th3 M3 seem commonplace.
