A very tidy Mars red GTX on P-slots, reg CxxxOVV. Seen parked up on Myrtle Avenue in Portchester. This is just round the corner from me so I went back home and picked up a flyer, which was duly stuck under the windscreen wiper. Noticed that it had a retro-rides sticker in the back window so it's likely owned by an enthusiast.

Exchanged a flash of the headlights with someone in a blue GTII on the A456 Hagley Road, between Edgbaston and Bearwood around 5pm.

Saw the black one again turning into Upper Chorlton Road past the Whalley pub, dark haired chick driving it. Threw my arm out the window to get her attention but she didn't even notice! Looks a very nice car and very original. Think it's metallic black.

Seen it again, parked in the same place. Yet it isn't there at weekends. I reckon that someone who works in one of the shops nearby might be the owner. I shall investigate further after I've written out some job applications.

Spotted 2 mk2s today round leicestershire!

1st was a red K reg, GTII going through Market Bosworth. I was on foot at the time...

2nd was a silver E reg GTX parked up outside the cash converter (or fast cash, or whatever it's called!) looking a bit sorry for itself, in Hinckley.

My lady spotted a LHD MK2 in Birmingham yesterday morning. Apparently was mint. Lets hope its one of the fabled 16vs that is still doing the rounds.
