A quick respray, weld the doors shut, and he'd have been in his element  :lol:

It was POA in the magazine advert  :shock: We'll never know.....

i,m drooling looking at that :lol:

They do have a 'baby' 500 for sale too, but it's in a yucky shade of pale green. If it had been black or red I would have got my cheque book out  :lol: Not sure my bank manager would have approved though  :lol:

I have to say, I do like the look of their '57 Bel Air. Very pretty. But £35,000??? That's a lot. But it does say it cost £65,000 to build. I my opinion, the '57 Bel Air sums up that period in US history perfectly. A true icon.

I saw several cars of this ilk in Damascus, of all places.  If anybody's after one, it might be worth a trip across, with a suitcase full of Syrian Pounds...

"Possum On A Gum-Bush!!"

That is one sweet motor, but longer than a 110.
Still, they'll outperform a Porch 928S, and are better than people think on the bendy bits
And it's a 'Magnum' :D  :D  :D  (not quite as desirable as a 426 'Hemi' though)

The GTX would be even nicer as a tin-top, the white Mustang is tasty, as are the Bel-Air & 300E

By shear coincidence, I have just had a customer in who told me he owned a '68 Charger  :shock: It is a 440, but not the R/T. Still very nice though. He was telling me about the culture shock between the Dodge and his daughters Mini  :lol:  :lol:

I think I ought to explain for some readers, the 'Magnum' nickname refers as some will know to the engine capacity - not the need for a Tom Sellick moustache :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
It's an analogy of the famous Clint Eastwood/ 'Dirty Harry' handgun, which was a ......................... Magnum .44
440cubic inch (7210cc), hence ...................... 'Magnum'

The Surgical Registrar who owns this Sagaris also owns (winter car??) a 'K' plated Mini. I wonder how much differance he notices?? :lol:  :lol:

[V8MoneyPit]

Well, I suspect the Mini gets through the country lanes quicker!! Especially in the winter. The TVR, if I understand correctly, can be a bit of a handful.

We have just bought a 1990 Rover Cooper. It is a bit of a dog, but has 3 months MOT and tax. So I'm using it at the moment before it's taken off the road for a rebuild. It's years since I drove one regularly and I'd forgotten what a hoot they are to drive. The first night I drove it home, I can honestly say I didn't stop laughing all the way  :lol: It is probably fair to say it brings out the hooligan in me  :twisted: You just don't slow down for bends or roundabouts  :lol:
