JoyRide Now, that sure looks like a ton of troub..er..fun! BTW what happened to Fubar-1? -
Göran more than unsafe at any speed.

Italian Job Joyride! Not an expert on domestic cars, but I suspect it Fu*ked up beyond any repair... -
Andreas What could possibly go wrong?
Italian Car Specialist & Ferrari 25...
Seems almost absurd in these days of over inflated vintage Ferrari value that once these were just old sports cars that you could actually drive around in. An naturally being made as they were drop in at you local "Italian car specialist" sort out those gremlins under hood.

Buick Custom
There are customs that repeat the same industry clichés from decade to another and ones that are carried out with keen sense of style, this is one of the latter.

BMC 1800 Aerodynamica
Citroen claim their CX series launched in 1974 was designed by Robert Opron as an in-house job. Well, not so quick Frenchie, mon amie, just look at this picture from 1967!

Nemo Shame on you Opron. Looks like SM Glass was a rip-off too! -
MilkMan Nemo. certainly looks that way. -

Psychedelic AC 289 Sport (aka Cobra...
You might be fooled to think AC 289 Sports -Cobra to you guys over the pond although it could not be called that here in the UK because of legal issues, would have been flamboyant enough to most people. But not so to Tara Browne, 21 year old heir to the Guinness fortune!

MilkMan E standing for electric...that must not have been the original idea.
-
The Chap Shock! It takes an individual without a soul to commit such a sacrilege. -
Andreas It looks good apart from the dash, which is hideous and certainly goes like the clappers. However, to me they managed to decapitate everything E-type's about. Sorry to say this one's like watching the paint dry.
-
Andreas And hey! Don't get me wrong, I'm all for electric cars. They are the future of personal transportation.
-
JoyRide Wow I'm electrified...wait a minute was that electrocuted? Anyway awesome!!!
Rover P6 Cabriolet & Coupé
Most people never quite realized just how advanced a design Rover P5 really was, a British equivalent to Citroen DS if you will.
Would have been lovely as a convertible

Secret Mercedes Collection
Lucky me, I was invited to take a peak at a private Mercedes collection in an undisclosed location. This collection is the real mc coy, all the cars have been restored single-handedly by the owner –a true old school enthusiast.

Ford Cortina 1500GT & Lotus 'Replic...
Here's a little something I managed to pick up in a barn the other day. A genuine 1500GT Cortina taken off the road in 1979 due to light front end collision. The other car's a Lotus Cortina 'replica' -replica being a strong word as it' more of a look-a-like.

Rehabbing a 220Sb w111
Strictly speaking, I wasn't in the market for another classic car, quite the opposite. In fact, trying to down size and focus... However, when the opportunity knocked my door in form of a 220Sb stored in an old industrial building for a decade or two, I couldn't resist...
