Great looking things, but why is the green one being driven round a track by a Lego man?

Farcebook sent me another one:

Is this a previously unknown member of the McGann acting dynasty?

This just popped up on my farcebook feed:

One careful owner, and 3 really careless ones?

Bloody hell, you might have won the thread there, for me. One of my dream cars. My miss was a Z33 Gran Turismo 4 special edition in black, for 5 bags. I passed because I really wanted the Alezan leather (this had black). Then covid happened and the finances went out the window...

I beg to differ.

Wonder if there's ever been copyright issues with that name...

F*&@#$% diseasel EGR valves!!! 🤬

It's one of those low (relatively) cost, high liability jobbies, especially if it has the early cambiocorsa gearbox. Strange things to see on an MOT advisory though, I wonder what happened to the mounts? Rotted away? Broken unobtainium plastic parts?

The shame of buying an 8krpm aftermarket rev counter, then having to set the shift marker to 4krpm... 🤣

Looks more Tom Walkinshaw Racing inspired to me, in that you'll look a right Twat When you Ride around in it.

Looks more like an RS500 wing than an Escort one to me? Definitely doesn't work though... I wonder if it was part of the bodykit? The rest of it is a decent copy of the Tickford one.

Interesting use of a fuel pump gasket as a dash ornament...

Kadett B maybe? The slope of the wings is about the best clue to go on.

Ferarri 400/412i. Noice!

And because it's an HLS it has the rather hilarious inclusion of a rev counter

Yep yep, not a Twizzy, had to google to remind myself what they are. The thing I've been seeing driving around here that I thought was one, isn't, obviously. It isn't a carver either, it has two wheels at the front, and is open at the sides. That Twizzy at least looks like it has less of a side profile to get caught by the wind.

Doesn't that horrid Twizzy thing lean into corners at least? I'd imagine this is more like a less stable version of a Reliant 3-wheeler

Fuck my old boots, what happens if you want to go round a corner at more than 1mph? It looks like it'd fall over in a stiff breeze, I bet overtaking an artic on the motorway is a bigger adrenaline rush than a fast jet doing an NOE run through a city centre

Who knew that the CIA had a car named after them (or at least their headquarters)! 😲

Missed that on my first look, good catch! I think it's just a trick of the light, makes it look more pronounced than it is. Here are some other pics of '61 C1's I think it's probably fair to say the C2 body design was an evolution of this, at least at the back end.

Yes, and the pre-facelift 4th gen "catfish" Camaro shows it's design lineage to the 3rd gen quite well, imo. I do agree the door mirrors are clumsy though

I quite liked the pre-facelift version https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5128031710657247/?ref=category_feed&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Ab748a7d4-4fa5-49ae-b322-4a2c9dd65108
