morrisoxide Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I have seen this at many local small car meets. But it was wonderful to see it out in the wild. Giggles at the Google it sticker. It got overtaken by a Model T center door, by some strange coincidence. The Matrix must have spawned the wrong cars that day. Note Passenger took the pictures.

He got if from a museum in the States, I can't remember which State he said. He's got it road worthy and is now driving it like it should be. Some more pictures of it from local shows. It is a thing of beauty, love the little details like the indicators matching the grille. Edit I found a link to the very car. https://drives.today/articles/461/retro/1954-kaiser-darrin/mike-renaut.html CreepingJesus, SteersWithThrottle, mitsisigma01 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morrisoxide Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Most of the air flow comes from under the front bumper with some kind of air scoop iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitsisigma01 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 He's either a very small man or the car is bigger than you'd think . It's got some funky doors ! They slide forward inside the front wings ! SteersWithThrottle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schaefft Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 The C4 100 was a highlight for me so far and deserved pulling over for. CreepingJesus, Back_For_More, Dyslexic Viking and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schaefft Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Plenty of W201 and W124 Mercedes around, with the former battling it out with the Golf Mk2 as the most commonly seen classic. This is the first W123 I am spotting here though, and it's a well preserved one! Looking at the photos, this might even be a US-spec car!

Bradders59 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 As I was leaving work this morning I had to wait before pulling out as there was what looked like a Daf variomatic estate, on foreign plates, coming up the road.

NorfolkNWeigh Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Not sure what to make of this , looks a bit Singer/ Magnus Walker. But when you check it online it comes back as : Make : 911 Targa Sports. Model : - Colour: Red Year: 1979 First reg: April 1980 Capacity : 2994cc Never been MOT’d. No mention of Porsche at all , maybe on some dodgy kit car logbook. Whatever, it would seem to be a ringer. SteersWithThrottle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders59 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Looks like an old 911 Targa to me. Im not seeing anything there that suggests it wouldnt be. Definitely not red though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
