Morgan & Aston Martin are using German Engines,Morgan using BMW & Aston Martin using Mercedes Benz AMG Units.

That was partially my point.....Lotus also using Toyota engines for many years and are still the world's best in suspension geometry.

JLR also has many Germans in-house and even Volvo is Chinese so all lines are blurred.

Look closer, this is NOT a taxi. It should be the one and only private plate London Cab on our road!!

Very cool find!

Many moons ago, Raffles Hotel ran 2 burgundy coloured private FX4 London Cabs as their hotel limo. Anyone remembers them?

More than 2, should be 4 iirc. BTW, Q plate is company car, strictly speaking not considered as private owned.

Very nice. There is a white one that is more commonly seen and used as a taxi (if i am not wrong...), often parked near Tiong Bahru area.

My first sighting of the BMW iX3. Look exactly the same as the normal petrol driven X3. I wouldn't have spot it if not form the unique (but ugly) alloy rims.

Did you silently prayed that none of the rear wheel flies off and landed on your windscreen? :D

BTW, saw this Bentley this afternoon, a typical example of money cannot buy class.

Beautiful Peugeot 504. I used to have a model of the 60s rally version. Always admired the design.

This green suits the car well.
And its rims are still so clean.
Well-maintained.[:)]

Supercharged

@Count_duku 

my neighbour had this car

when I was a kid, I always squad down near to the front wheel to look at the CV joint

wondering how it works

can move up and down, transmit power and steer at the same time 

edit: I just googled, my neighbour car was a 304

OMG! Those chrome plated window wind/rain deflectors! Haven't seem them in ages but in those days, they were a must-have accessory!

Err, why the owner park the car on the edge of the lot?
