OV9

Pretty sure they didn’t put the turbo lump in, but probably did do the 2.0 nasp.

Of course the turbo would have been a bolt in swap.

The saloon came in 420 GSI Turbo form, so the Tourer could easily have had a few made in that form. Checking ARonline I’ve found reference to only one, and even that was queried by someone who must have worked there who said there was only a VVC version planned and that was stillborn.

The NA 2.0 was still a good engine for these; the 220GSI felt plenty quick enough. The NA was definitely put in the Tourer.

On the way to Gatwick yesterday we were overtaken by a silver early, silver NSX (reg NSX 300). Boys were very excited!

Went along to the monthly car meet in Paisley again this morning. Still lots of stuff that didn’t interest me, but some nice/cool metal too. Quite a few that I immediately thought “I bet @ZedLeg would fancy that”.

The black ‘rod in particular sounded filthy and was very clean. Twennies on teh back.














Custom extended transporter with a claimed 270bhp and cool handed alloys.


This seemed to pre-date the Morgan 3wheelers. Didn’t speak to the owner.

Some tasty stuff there! Morgan have been doing 3 wheelers like that since the mid 1930s!

It may be a Lomax??

Have checked DVLA. It's a 1989 Triking Lemans. Never heard of that.... Guzzi power.

I like that sled based on a Rover P5, that's some old fashioned British hot rodding.

Dimma kitted hatches always win though.

That Alfa really should have had an iPad mounted on the dash showing Pobol y Cwm on repeat.

The Queen may have preferred to take her final ride in that Omega hearse if she'd realised it existed.

Quite possibly.

I did snigger at the notice on the right hand side of the hatch.

‘Take The High Road’ or ‘Limmy’s Show’ wouldn’t have worked with the reg plate

Its a nice and varied selection though @mik. Must try to get along to one of these.

Parked in the Q Park on Park Lane last night. The usual ‘standard’ Ferraris and Lambos but some really nice classic stuff too.

This was lovely. One of my dream cars as a teenager!

A selection of my best pictures from the past 2 years:

What was the deal with the Hilux with the cowl scoop? Would assume it has a V8 of some sort with that on it.

Excellent variety
Zed; they're both concealing something, look at the rear steels on the Ford.

I had to wait for traffic to pass before crossing the road; coming one way was a Renault Sport Spider, the other an American cabrio from the same era as the one NGRhodes posted above. No idea what it was and failed to get the reg to find out

I know it doesn’t count as it’s in a store but you’re not likely to ever see one on the road are you

I think it’s pretty mediocre for £49,500.

I saw one of those on the road a couple of weeks ago. The full size one, which isn’t much bigger. VSCC event, so it was well used.
