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

I was going to say isn’t that the Group S development car

I had one as my first decent car, really liked it. As mentioned simple to fix and work on and a multitude of spares and upgrades available (moss motors will give you an idea of this). It was a nice drive and at over 6' quite comfortable. Problems I recall all revolved around rust, the sills were a known weak point but an "easy" fix and also along the top of the rear wings. When I had mine the rubber bumper version was cheaper and I presume this is still the case. I'd love to have one again and think they look nicer than the soft top.

Jesus. Poor Lancia.

I really like that :)

How can you improve on perfection?

you'd lower it, tech-screw some plastic arches on it and turn the wheels on their sides...

hehe :)

woot - awesome. I saw that was for sale a while back.

I looked at a yellow one when I bought the b. I wish I bought it. too small inside, for me - there's more room in the baby elan than the +2

WHY WOULDN'T WE BE INTERESTED?

that was supposed to come across more humorously rather than the intense sarcasm/annoyance that it does seem to convey.

Maybe I need a cheeky smiley ;-)

Friendliest forum on the interwebz?

engine develops same bhp as a the 164 cloverleaf.

You did mention this a while back? Or did I imagine that?

Has the work started? Wonder how many chassis the car has had? What rear suspension will it have?

Car Auction on Saturday, any idea what I should be looking to pay for either of these?

Why are they being sold at auction? Get the going rate from ebay (pretty common cars) and knock a third off?

New Garage clearing out old trade ins.
Will do.

Yeah maybe. Work has begun. It is actually, shockingly, the original chassis.

Ah, in that case maybe a third is too harsh.

I think that's actually a Datsun 240z-based kit car

Near Bath, a little while ago now (note no jumper, scarf etc):

And a little earlier, same day (coat):

Speed cameras are getting pretty good these days.

I was gonna say the same thing.

filter > motion blur

Good panning

It's the only way to see if the boot-lid works as intended.
