E-type sans over riders
E-type, the most beautiful car in the world -end of discussion! However...the over riders always seemed an after though to me.
Guess what, I was right all that time. Here's what it initially looked like...Sans the bloody over riders.

Andreas 100% agreed. The car in the photo 9800HP today sports a look without the over-riders as well as the motif bar. The guise it had during the 150Mph runs. -
Adam Never thought about it but now that you showed I must admit it does look cleaner this way. -

Adam How is it without motif bar?
-
Andreas Let´s put it this way, the bar is there for a reason.
Daytona crash
Shelby Daytona obviously couldn't handle the heat by Morris.

Barn found Miesen Ambulance
Good news! I went to see a Miesen built Mercedes Ponton ambulance and did not purchase the darn thing. Yeah! For once I could foresee all the pain and trouble it would have dragged me into.

Hans Baumaster Certainly rare, but desirable...who knows.
-
Hans Baumaster Is that the original paint?
-
Panu Ahtopaine Who is this guy, walking away from a deal like that ; )
-
Andreas Time, money, effort..all being limited resources it just wasn't worth it -to me at least! If this was someone's only project, why not ;/
-
Gottlieb How could you!? That's a gem!
In a Shed
And how they turn into things that fall apart on your lawn -er...make that snow.

Standard British Punctuality
I must say, one could only expect such punctuality from a Briton. Those are MK1 Escorts I believe.

Mercedes 280SE 5.0 W108
280SE 5.0 -a little story how (not?) to swap a 5.0 m117 light alloy engine followed by a four speed slush box into a vintage Mercedes, 280SE w108. To make things more ticklish the whole procedure will be carried outdoor during the winter months. OK, admitted under a roof -Oh boy aren't spoiled?

Adam Areyou guys taking the engine from 500SL?

Andreas While I wouldn't mind the extra power of the Mechatronik car seeing that tacky giant plastic plate under the hood is enough to make me feel sick...Plain tacky.
-
Nemo True..
-
Roy_Mascaro I want to do this swap
Winter and Toyota Corolla DX
Yes, it's still very much a winter up in the north here. by the way, this is Toyota Corolla DX. Every young man's dream car in the 90's *Amiz*

Mighty CB350
I got this -72 Honda CB350 from an old guy who had owned it for 9-years. After such a time the restoration still had not gone much further, so he decided to let it go.

Sir, this really is your E-type OTS, trust me! We changed fluids, served the brakes and it passed MOT with flying colours.

Coltrane I see no reason why it would raise any suspicion. -
Panu Ahtopaine That went pretty smooth, didn't it.

Lumis Neat! -
Marcus I thought I`d sniff at it but it`s kinda cute.
Barn Find: Mercedes-Benz o319
Our barn fresh o319, the ex-Soulset Tour Bus, sees the daylight for a first time in a while. The bus has not turned a wheel on the road since 1968! Now who could resist a face like that? Read the background story at: http://www.classicdigest.com/article/view/id/20

Adam What a BAND Bus! The collectors are just waking up for these, IMHO much more interesting than VW Typ2:s that have gone through the roof price wise.

Italian Job That's how it was back then. People harping about matching numbers and the rest of that BS have absolutely no idea of the reality when it comes to historical racing cars. It was all about mix and match to make it to the next race. -
Rickman Agreed!
-
Americana It used to be matching what you could get your hands on, whereas today it's all about matching numbers in one way or another -if you know what i mean... -
Jules very interesting!
-
Adam Mix-matching-numbers.
Fiftynine
The starting point of the massive project of this rotten -59 Caddy.
I got the car in 2008 and after almost 7-years of restoration it starts to look what I wanted. See the complete restoration story from here: garage59.blogspot.com

RennMeister That is a great movie. -
JoyRide Does this mean print media is sexy again?

Nemo I liked the movie too, but 30 minutes of no dialogue might have been too much for Joe Average.

Better times with F1
As far as I'm concerned modern motor racing, F1 in particular, is as uninteresting as IMB corporate policy. In 77 it was a different story though, as Ferrari paddock team here demonstrate.

American Racer I totally get your point. luckily we have the historic racing these days.
-
JoyRide Those look like wine bottles to me. Way to go guys! And yes, modern F1 is baloney.
-
Andreas The last race I did see was when Senna crashed,. Someone following modern F1 must have too much spare time on their hands.
-
Nemo Brilliant, can I have a taste and take it for a spin once you guys finish the lunch.
-
Miles Dude! that's the way you do it!
