I saw one for sale at a specialist dealer in Germany ca. 1993 and remember looking in wonder at the crazy Alfasud ergonomics such as the heater fan being on the windscreen wiper stalk if memory serves correctly. It’s the only Giardinetta I think I‘ve ever seen on the road. jumpingjehovahs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volksy Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I've only ever seen one of those 'Suds in the flesh, was outside a small town Alfa dealer near Rimini. I must have a photo of it somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volksy Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Saw this on intagram earlier. Its based on a 1969 300SEL 6.3 Styled by Pininfarina Kind of a mix of the Fiat 130 Coupe, Rolls Camague and a Mazda 929 Stacklight! https://www.fanmercedesbenz.com/1969-mercedes-w109-300sel-6-3-coupe-pininfarina/ Shite Ron, Austat, bunglebus and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 First thought: They did a Skyhawk wagon on this platform? Second thought: I wonder if you can put the Skyhawk front on a Mk2 Cavalier to make a droopsnoot-alike that never was. chaseracer, Remspoor, lesapandre and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 How cute is this? It’s a 1967 Moretti 850 Sportiva Coupe, apparently. One of several tiny low volume sports cars based on the Fiat 850. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1223870 It’s a lot of money, obviously.

Doesn't look broken off Early UK base Sierras had only one mirror as standard (someone presumably ticked the option box for a second one on GVG510Y) but of the dangly type. That Portugese example seems to be the internally adjustable sort. Being a police car, it could well be a non-standard spec. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17-Coffees Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 With the demise of the Lexus GS range, I did some looking. I know of the Mk2 having the 4.0 and 4.3 V8's, as well as the Mk3's having the 4.6 V8, but there's one spec I never knew of... The Mk1 GS V8 AWD! Okay, that's because it never existed...as a Lexus. You could get the Mk1 Toyota Aristo with the LS400's 4.0 V8, and AWD! Sadly, a JDM only model. Annnd the real money shot!

vulgalour Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Saw a Wind a few months ago. They've got very strange proportions in person, much more so than in photographs. Almost like when you see a car that's had a bodykit fitted to make it look lower without actually lowering it. Remspoor and myglaren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 There's one on my delivery. Because I see it nearly every day I forget how weird it looks then one day I'll look at it and the odd proportions hit me again. Not sure if it's too tall or too short.
