That would be fantastic if it was in white, with surface rust on the wheel arches, on standard steel rims, and a couple of ladders on the roof. Why bolt all that tat on and advertise the fact that it's as quick as it is? Or am I missing the point?

New Sun 15 May 11 11:59   Bentley - Armel Coussine

Very cute looking motor PU, but it's a special: a PVT Rolls-Bentley rebodied in vintage style. Of course the 6 cylinder ioe engine will be smooth and refined, but a bit less punchy than the OHC 4-cylinder in a vintage 3 or 4.5 litre. So it's a sort of pastiche vintage car for the seriously well-heeled. Stanley Mann used to cobble vintage specials together out of bits of broken ones. He had a particularly tasty 3 litre chassis with a Speed Six (6.5 litre) engine, the Le Mans winning one. Everyone fancies the blower 4.5, but it wasn't really a good car. Speed Six was the one. You gotta have the bread though. Last edited by: Webmaster on Sun 15 May 11 at 13:29

And I thought my dads was too new for the plate. They stopped making the Fiesta 1.3 Ghia in 1996 as nobody wanted the OHV engine on a Ghia spec. Yet my VIN confirms the car was made in March 96 and it was registered in December1997.

There'd be a stack of work on it to get it roadworthy, new belts, new tyres, new fluids, the mind boggles. We had a P reg one in the family once upon a time. A 2.0 litre Sri - it was quick enough but boring.

I had two Vectra's (one on an N plate and the other a P plate). The first was a 1.8LS and it had a tendency to spin the front wheels easily despite being underpowered - especially when trying to get onto busy roundabouts. Swapped it for a P plate 2.0GLS because it was available (company car) and it had traction control. It was a lot better car and the 136PS engine made a big difference. It was an okay car I suppose. I preferred the Golf GTi 1.8T that replaced it though.

Wow, that's steep. I remember Healeys well because they were one of the classy, rare cars of the day (Frazer Nash, Lea-Francis, Bristol 2 litre, AC...). They went well too with the Riley 2.4 running gear and aluminium bodies. Their few rich, opinionated owners loved them dearly. But although distinctive they weren't good looking (same applied to Lea-Francis cars), and the aluminium body panels could look a bit ripply from new. Of course the steel-bodied Rileys went almost as well and the police used them until they moved over to Wolseleys and Jags. The only really good-looking Healey was the stark Silverstone two-seater, a genuine sports car not just a fast tourer. Some were fitted with Jaguar engines by owners. Wouldn't mind one of those but the standard one would be better balanced. There was also an American joint venture, the Nash-Healey. That would have been a smooth cruiser and was quite svelte looking. Austin Healeys were a bit later when the company went broke and needed a rich partner.

They were handmade and no two were the same Iffy. I wouldn't pay that money for that car however rich I was. Well, only if the owner would let me put it through its full paces on roughish twisties to unmask any asymmetries or untoward flexing etc. I suppose the main chassis must be all new so if put together properly it could drive as new. But I bet it doesn't.

You are a man of taste Alanovic. Soon though people will be bending your ear about electrical problems and rust and carburettors and contact breakers, as well as pointing out smugly that their Corsas are faster than that. We are surrounded by philistines. One day we must start a thread about the interesting contradiction between a love of cars and left-of-centre politics. They are not often present in the same person, although the combination is not unknown. Couple of gossip snippets for you: Leonid Brezhnev, whose politics may not have been all that left-wing, was a total car freak and had a collection. The late former Prime Minister Edward Heath was a famously bad and terrifying driver whose aides eventually banned him from driving.

Russian cars are heavy and derivative. Even the Zis limos for the top brass were copies of pre-war Packards. Skodas and Tatras were in another class altogether. Czech engineering traditionally was second to none. The Bren gun for example was a Czech design (name comes from where it was developed: Brno). In fact Ferdinand Porsche was really Czech (Sudeten German anyway). Were I really rich I would try to find a decent Tatra 603. At the end of communism in that country, a friend there told me that the Politburo Tatras had all gone to their chauffeurs who wanted to sell them, and they weren't dear. Problem was they couldn't be legally exported, so had to be smuggled out. German car freaks were doing it by the container load, but it sounded too risky for one who didn't have a lot of spare cash. I have often regretted my wimpishness. Last edited by: Armel Coussine on Fri 17 Jun 11 at 14:50

>> There was a time, long long ago when I would have turned down Raquel Welch in her Planet of the Apes outfit Did you mean One Million Years B.C. ?

Is she an Unusual Sighting or is she on E-Bay...?

Didn't think anyone dressed like that on any of the Planet of the Apes movies or the series. Or remake. But not on ebay I guess.

I had a Matchbox model with those blinds.....just the sort of car I imagine AC would have driven in some far flung corner of the world.

>> Thanks for asking. FFS stop mincing around and buy the sodding thing Humph. If it isn't a hallucination that is. If you get it for some sort of reasonable price, and don't really want it yourself, some nutter here will take it off your hands for a swingeing loss. I've always fancied a lurid scarlet rustbucket actually.

The fur bikini wasn't all that good. She's been OK in some other movies though. Funny too, when required to be. Purely by accident of course, I am probably the only person here who has actually met Raquel Welch in the, cough, flesh. She was civil and dressed well down. You wouldn't have given her a second glance in the street.
