10 out of 10 for effort from this angle but it does look a bit amatuer from the rear quarter

Nah, it's not. It's a one off. The guy who owned it in the 70's bolted on a Moggie Traveller onto the erse so he could fit his dogs in.

Jesus an XK150 with its arse cut off would be worth more if of was made back into a standard 150

Not really with you on the Volvo, and to be honest I used to own a 1968 144S, so nothing against the brand, but the police put me off, as every time I saw one of those the blue lights were flashing - nuff said!

 

Totally with you on the Fiat, I remember when they first came out and thinking this is back to the bold Pininfarina styling of the 60's & 70's

 

Don’t get me started on the DS! I would love a Black one of these. Fell in love with them when I first saw “Mr Jolly Lives Next Door†and the car that Peter Richardson drove was fantastic

 

Great taste Sir!

They were on SeeSaw recently -

Ha, ha!! Hemi Henderson's exploding tonic water!

Thought I'd resurrect this thread as I was just checking out the prices on these.... The Audi RS2

 

 

 

I remember there was one that I passed locally when they were new and the whole 'engineered by Porsche' thing fascinated me.

I can't remember ever seeing an advert for one with less than 6 figure mileage.

Too much money too! I just browsed them and thought it was a slightly weird car to most.

Bloody fast though

General awsomeness is high with them in my opinion!

Stumbled across this.

 

My thoughts were the exact thread title....

And the youtube link from the ad

 

 

Too much money though I think...

Firenza Droopsnoot............just so amazingly retro its untrue.........I think they had shagpile carpet too like my Chevette!

 

 

My father owned a Droopsnoot. If he hadn't had the roll cage in it, I wouldn't be typing this now! I love listening to his stories about that beast! Apparently only 250 made before Vauxhall stopped making them because they were dangerously fast...which my father proved by rolling it 3 times
