If you could afford a car collection what rare or unknown car would you like to include in it? Only one car per post, please ….. and a photo with some information would be greatly appreciated. I have several cars in mind and this is my first contribution: 1950 Simca 8 Sport Coupè. CYLINDERS: 4 DISPLACEMENT: 1221 cc. HP: ?
One of them would be this car, and because these are now being remanufactured by a British company, One of the modern ones too... 1965 Alfa Romea GTA Sprint Competizone.. One of the lightest, most balanced cars ever. Cheers.
Oh yes! I was always fond of the Giulia Sprint GT and the Junior. Who wouldn't be? I actually cut out both rear quarters from a scrapyard Junior and used them on my custom Fiat 128 Sport Coupe.
Here's a car that is so rare that I can find almost no information on it at all. Motto Renault Frigate:
One of the most rare and beautiful French cars ever... I introduce the Bugatti Royale, Kellner Coupe...
And because when you allow Pinin Farina to re imagine a 1965 corvette... you get the Rondine. Only one ever produced. To be honest, it really looks like a twin to the Lamborghini 3500 gtv, but. it's American... lol
Magnificent. I visited the Schlumpf Museum in Mulhouse where I saw a Type 57, an Atlantique, and some former maharaja's Royale. Have you been? You must!
Not half bad and you're right, it does look familiar but not the Lamborghini 3500 as I remember it. I want to say Maseratti ......... ?
I really enjoy cars. Sometimes rare is in the eye of the beholder. And while I think a Ford Country Squire is kind of square, when someone ordered the 428 cobra R with a 4 speed, they were on to something. LOL...
I just spotted this in town a few minutes ago. It is definitely not something I'd like to have in my fantasy collection but I am curious to know what it really is. It is sporting a Mercedes Benz badge but it looks like a kit car to me. What's the verdict?
This car is poetry!!!! It makes me think of a stretched TC. It is amazing how the squarish coachwork fits together with the rounded wheel arches and the slanting roofline! How did they do that? Were they just lucky?
I have driven an IH Scout, a Ford Bronco, a Volvo military "Valp", and a real Jeep. In serious terrain, you can forget the IH, the Ford and the Volvo. You can't stop a Jeep any longer than it takes to shift gears! Anyway, you need at least 20 cm. biceps just to steer a Valp.
Not so much lucky as highly talented coach builders I'd say. The roof looks like it has been chopped in a hot rod shop but I'm pretty sure it's original.
