Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearoil Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Celica is lovely. What was powering that ugly Marcos? V6, V8...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 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 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 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.

Guest Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Display vehicle for SEV/Marchal lighting products. Should be able to see where youre going with that lot OK.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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 How did they manage to make the Mantis so fugly? The regular Marcos GT is quite pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew e Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompei Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 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 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompei Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
