Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

My mum didn't.

OH YES SHE DID!
Ta-boom.

There's always the twin turbo V8 option - in an Alfa sud sprint body....

Sad story behind that particular car. But an amazing beast.

Are there even any GTV6s left on the road over here?

THIS DOES NOT MAKE MY BALLS TWITCH.

Still bought the car.

Nice story, made me laugh.

Why would you ruin the sublime handling a sud sprint like that?

Any Volvo fans after a low mileage 240? A friend is selling this:

1982, 38,000 miles.

This has got "sleeper" written all over it.

Holy shit that's nice

Emma Chisit? I have a friend who goes weak at the knees for low mileage 80s Volvoze. He has 4 or 5 340s...

How much?

so so nice

I don't know how much he's asking but if anyone's genuinely interested, drop him a message.

It's in Glasgow btw.

Don't you mean daf's ;)

Saw it knocking about Glasgow. I don't believe the mileage, it's prob more like 80-120k.
If it's only a few hundred then might be worth a punt. Certainly doesn't really idle or have a working breather system, but then almost none of them do

It's a Volvo fucking 240. They were antiquated shit when they were new and all of them were that shiny. They have not improved with age.

When I was about 6 years old my parents wanted to buy a 240 estate. I talked the out of it. Precocious little shit that I was. They ended up with a Saab 900i. Wasn't quite good enough to convince them to get a turbo. Still, 200 times better than that crate. ;)

To put a mid engined V6 or V8 in.
Inspired by this

Mad Australians built the Giocattolo

With beer in the toolkit.

I quite like this even madder creation

Right, back to your Volvos everybody...

It was bought by a production company for use in a film and then stored - it has an interesting history and the mileage is genuine.

rad volvos are rad

Zactly! Giocattolo.

That 164, what's the story behind it. I vaguely recall something about taking an F1 chassis or ex le man car? either way, amazing. Like the original Renault Espace F1 demonstrator.

164 v10 Pro Car
