Le Mans Shite

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Heyyyyy, I've been to the le Mans Calssic ths weekend, OK not the best destination if youre looking for shite, but its out there if you leave the granstand behind! Check out these bad muthaz:

 

Marcos mantis

 

Mini marcos humping its own parent! Wrong on all levels, plus I bet this is fun to drive on a windy day.

 

Lovely Celica

 

Opel Kapitan? Not sure what model it is really.

 

4-dr SM! Mother!

 

This guy was displaying classic public schoolmaster attire.

 

More later, my computer seems to have gone on the blink meaning i cant upload any more

[r.welfare]

Opel could be a Diplomat, Admiral or Kapitan depending on the engine. Styling very reminiscent of the mid-60s US GM intermediates.That 4 door SM can only be described in one word: Presidential! I'd much prefer to see those plying the streets here full of drunken hen parties than the usual cruddy stretch Lincolns and Hummers.

[gearoil]

Celica is lovely. What was powering that ugly Marcos? V6, V8...?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Featured the legenday 'VEHICLE WATCH' Sticker!

 

Display vehicle for SEV/Marchal lighting products. Should be able to see where youre going with that lot OK.

 

Check out who built it!

 

Some tail light pr0n for regie:

ROVER 214

 

MAZDA 323F

 

VAUXHALL CAVALIER

 

Check this Ferrari Enzo, the owner converted it to SHITE by sticking on some zany 'James bonds bullet hole' stickers on the rear wing, GIVE ME STRENGTH

 

WHY DID YOU DO THAT, IT LOOKS TERRIBLE

 

what!!!

 

Samba Ralllye! Check that camber.

[Monkey_boy]

WHY DID YOU DO THAT, IT LOOKS TERRIBLE

I SEE DEAD PEOPLE!

 

oh....hang on.....

[michiel]

Is that a Merc E-class tail?Nice pics!

[Spottedlaurel]

Is the 'what' thing a Matra? Remember them from a book when I was young, challenging proportions.

 

Seem to recall the Celica from JAE's of years gone by, maybe used to belong to Steve Mann? Was very low mileage (at the time) if that is the one.

 

Amused by the Viva HB couple. Gone to all the trouble of driving to another country in something that's not ideal for Continental travel, then they still sit there at the back of their car

 

Looking forward to more pic's, especially the people selection.

[reallyloud]

Fantastic place! Always somewhere I've wanted to go - another one to add to my mythical list, when funds and time permit. The Matra is a 530 I think. Interesting to see so many British plated cars too, what sort of distance would they have covered to get down there?Any more pics? Babes in particular really.

Are Marchal still going? Vicsmith needs some yellow spotlamps on his 180 and as they made the headlights, presumably they'd do the spotlamps too.

[Milford Cubicle]

How did they manage to make the Mantis so fugly? The regular Marcos GT is quite pretty.

[andrew e]

Mr Bollox you wind up - Im off on Holiday to Le-mans in 3 weeks, you have reminded me I have 3 weeks work!What's the classic like, done the current 24 quite a few times, but really fancy this - 2010 roll on! Loving that SM I can reccomend this gaff too - it takes about 5 hours from the channel to get there.

[pompei]

Looking at that HB, I love the way the British on a day out take folding canvas chairs and sit next to their cars. Even when they've driven all the way to France

[Mr_Bo11ox]

How nice is this old 5-series? Answer: very. Imagine one of these in this condition with a newish straight-six diesel - what a daily that would be. Lovely.

 

505 V6 international towing rig. Brilliant!

 

Impossibly rare MG ZT-T V8 tourer! I dont know how many of these were made but I believe it barely cracked into 3 figures. 2004's coolest production car?

 

Flaminia Tourer, just utterly beautiful. I believe buckley's dad restored a black one of these a few years ago to a lovely standard, I wonder if it is this one.

 

An unusual choice of car upon which to max one's halfords storecard. Revolting.

 

Love these, too cool for school man.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Some more obscurities:

 

Glas 1700 GT, awesome. Just too obscure for words.

 

OSI 20M TS. XXX-rated Italo-german oddity. TOO RARE

 

OMG Another one! YOU'RE KILLIN ME UP HERE, MAN

 

Lancia Scorpion

 

This is a 'Hommel' - a french fibreglass wonder with a 405 Mi16 ebngine i think. Dunno much else about it, looks cool though.

 

Ronart, dont really know owt about it. GRP was a bit wobbly but better than most.

[Richard]

Celica is lovely. What was powering that ugly Marcos? V6, V8...?

It has a 2498cc engine, I suppose that would be the 2.5 Granada engine.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Yeah or could be a Triumph TR6 engine?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Simca 1000 koop. I bet these are a hoot to rag about in, look ace as well.

 

Maseratis, in order of shiteness:

 

Bora - Not shite.

 

Khamsin- Also 0% shite, although it does have a citroen hydraulic system for brakes, steering etc which may confer some shite points.

 

Frua QP - Not shite either, but a lot cheaper than the Bora or Khamsin.

 

228 I think? Starting to look mildly shite now, spesh with that body kit on.

 

Biturbo Spyder. FAST, RED, ITALIAN AND SEXY - WHAT ELSE DOES THE BITURBO SPYDER NEED? (1987 Autocar cover slogan). Rusty playboy shite.

 

Early Biturbo 2-door - Maseratis greatest moment in shite terms (excluding the 4-door). My favourite!

 

Flaminia Zagato. Too much!

[Spottedlaurel]

Nice work in getting the Ro80 snuck into the Flaminia Tourer shot.Looking at that, the OSI’s the Glas and others makes me wonder whether delicate, elegant car design is dead. Not macho enough? Difficult to do with modern crash reg’s? I suppose that modern Quattroporte comes closest, but there’s something not quite 100% in the headlight department.I’d disagree about the Khamsin’s shite quotient, even without the Citroen gubbins I’d say it’s at least 65%.

[michiel]

The Flaminias and the Frua Maser (hey, it's Dutch!) have got me jumping up and down (on the inside), gorgeousness on wheels.(The Glas is a BMW 1600GT)

[pompei]

There were a couple of OSIs on ebay last year I think - one from a dealer (Justin Banks?) and another do-er-upper with a host of missing parts. They are truly DA BIZ, as is that Simca which has a startling resemblance to the Fiat 850 coupe.

[Split_Pin]

Brill pictures. I like the odd proportions of the Maz Frua QP, and the headlights look a bit out of place - but a very pretty car IMO!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Heres a few more, I took about 100000000000003 pics.

 

Lovely renner 8! I would love to give one of these, or a 10, a whirl just to see what theyre like. Probably not a million miles off a Skoda Estelle? I understand the skud engine is a development of an old reno effort, correct me if i am wrong of course.

 

This porsche appeared to have begun melting at both ends.

 

Spyker - megabucks, yet weapons-grade SHITE. Theres just no reason to buy one!

 

ZBLOOOOF!!! Lovely Tatra tat.

 

Merc 500E... class.

[Milford Cubicle]

I like the number plate on the Merc. Also early Vignale Tatra - lovely.

[kelvin2008]

That nice blue Celica was parked outside my house last weekend, fella said he had just been to le mans. small world.

[155V6]

That Renault is gorgeous ,my Dad had an 8S in about 1984,it was the 1st car I drove on the road .If I remember correctly,they were the 1st mass produced car to have disc brakes all round

[pogweasel]

Fantastic pics. Don't even know where to begin. ITS ALL TOO MUCH, MAN.

[Jazzy Jeff]

Display vehicle for SEV/Marchal lighting products. Should be able to see where youre going with that lot OK.

WOW.

 

That is about as Gallic as this:

 

 

I love the smell of Gauloises in the morning.
