Bit of a red theme this weekend:
Alfa Romeo RZ in West Linton
Honda NSX
Mercedes 300 CE with red/silver 2 tone effect, so retro it looked great: similar car here:

The Alfa reminded me how much I want an RZ :shock:

Mini JCW

You can keep the Alfa RZ (fugly to my eyes),.. but that merc is so desirable..... 8)

I think there was only around 3800 made over 6 years or so and even the newest is over 20 years old now. Hugely underrated in their time- mainly because they were front wheel drive.

Managed to spot a Renault Avantime last night when I was coming through Edinburgh airport.

Exactly the same colour combo as this:

Suspect that there are not too many around as very little people wanted a "plush" people carrier.

Very few around, my business partner has one. This effectively put Matra out of business, its the last thing they built. Some really stunning bits of design / engineering in it. simple things seem to get them written off so I would put these in the future classic category!
