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.
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.
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?
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.
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.

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

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.

Hi Jules, the II part of the Trojan Saga is on its way. We have just been so busy with our Mercedes 280 se 5.0 project. (as well as developing classicdigest site...)
Iso Grifo A3/C Bizzarrini taking it...
What you're looking, is actually two Iso Grifo A3/C Bizzarrinis no.0214 & 0210. combined by racing legend and ex WWII B-24 belly gunner Max Ernest Balchowsky.
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.
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...
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

O caddy, o daddy! O sweet god of motor cars there is no cadillac Cadillac is just one of the alltime great American words and I wish I wish I wish I wish your daddy was here to see it!

Skills and dedication take you a long way
It Is Friday and Steve says:
Ciao tutti, It's GIO again long time no see! It's Friday again and Steven says read newspaperes!
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.
