JeeExEll Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (I think you may be right. Just Cold War jitters). Another later pic of same car after it was punted off. Different detailing, and fuel filler on this side now. somewhatfoolish, Dick Longbridge and Amishtat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeeExEll Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Rare pic of a Lumo-converted Lotus Capri. Lumo also offered Lotus 1558 Twin Cam conversions for the Cortina 1600E although I've never seen one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the NEC about three or four years ago If BMW were the German equivalent of Triumph (sporty aspirational saloons at a price premium) and wanted a hatch of their usual big saloon output you get this... Same idea...same segment...probably similar buyers a few generations apart. The British motor industry created so many great ideas at the time which have come back round again... Michelotti designed for both companies and the last Triumph Dolomite prototype has a distinctly 70's BMW look too. Instead we got the Acclaim. Such is life...

Cragars are what Roadkill is always applying to its fleet to make it a 'hot rod' I do like the original 20s wheels though. They look so much better than insubstantial pram wheels you tend to expect of the era. RayMK, JeeExEll, lesapandre and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asimo Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Roy Fedden had another go at cars after he left Bristol Aeroplane Co.. Not a success! Also a radial engine, in the back this time. Anyway, with all this Abbey Road / Beatles nostalgia about. Taken the same day as the album cover. Which has a white Beetle behind the Beatles, where the Alfa is.

JeeExEll Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Vinyl roof being fitted. They sprayed it with adhesive, stretched it over a frame, stuck it onto the roof, then trimmed it with a knife.

JeeExEll Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 What is it??? It's the not-very-plain 1956 Plymouth Plainsman concept by Ghia. Why do modern 8-seaters not look like this? (Sadly) that's not some sort of secret retractable rear axle, it's a spare wheel. A feature which was included on some 1957 Plymouth station wagons.
