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

Here's mine

based on dammits volvo obvs

Needs roof rails

Inspiration not imitation

Here's an old one of mine...

:oP

nice.

i forgot the daddy of light, 4 seat coupes:

would quite like a datto 1200

there were two mint ones on ebay a month ago. closest i have ever come to flogging the mgb. the mrs wasn't having it.

i'd have painted it baby poo brown, to match my one, too

baby poo brown,

They didn't come in any other colour did they?

influenced by Bertone?

We should have a drawing thread.

Always influenced by Bertone. :o)

I did that when on exchange in Milan.

Visited the Bertone Museum n everfing.

Singer Chamois Coupe?

They are rad! Although not known them as a Singer. My grandma had a similar looking car but it was a Hillman. Is that a thing?

So tempted:

as you can gauge by the underwhelming response, the tiguan just underwhelms

I don't think there's much wrong with them per se, although there are some interweb gripes on engine and clutch

for my pound I'd go skoda yeti

Ooof similar items...

X 1/9

Wonder how much it would take to turn that into Dallara spec?

Fuck it. This'll do for a second car.

:oP

wait for it...

Looks very nice. They must be quite scarse now.

I have first dibs on an x1/9 1.3 turbo...

Nice, nice, nice. I know of a guy who put the rear subframe from a crashed x19 in a fiat 500. It then received an uno turbo motor. Only shame is that the car was a genuine Radbourne built Abarth Assetto corsa. I had the wheels from it back in 91. Whats the body like?

If you do I can sell you either a double choke carb and inlet manifold, a 40mm twin solex carb and manifold, a dellorto twin 35mm carb and inlet manifold, a modified head with bigger valves. Modified with other fiat valves think they were 127 1300gt maybe 1050 sport. Also a straight cut gearbox...

Body was restored over two decades ago, then oxided. Has had the inner wings strengthened to run fibreglass wings. Has the Mk1 uno turbo engine in it as it drops straight in. The car has been in a garage ever since...the garage has heating!!!!

Am still on the lookout for a decent shell to stick my maserati Biturbo engine in. Even have a compact 6 speed gearbox to fit with the bell housing made.
