OV9

If forgotten the Infinity (and 414E) existed!

Stuart Monument still owns the 414E, apparently working.

Good to hear, I mean "It belongs in a museum!" but clearly Lotus dgaf.

Short snippet. Nice concept. Sounds fab.

Awesome, I think that MR2 T5 has been posted before but it looks mad in the best possible way.

Is that the one that got smashed up by senseless vandals

Turn that nostalgia ALL the way up!

Ruffian cars bloke is at it again. 9l stroker Viper engine in a Corvette race chassis with a Plymouth body. Brilliantly barmy

Technology Connections talks the (quite interesting) Toyota eCVT system.

So very pretty.

Not a YouTube, but the way this roof opens looks more finished than some manufacturers efforts. Ignoring the late model v8 grill this is rather lovely, and shows what Rover could have done if better managed. Particularly liking his coupe

I’m generally quite suspicious of restomods, and I liked the 355 without loving it as many do. But. The exterior of that, and the stance, are fabulous. Like the GTO elements too. Steering wheel doesn’t look right to me (or the headlights when up) but that’s an attractive beast. Helps that Henry is on one of my favourite roads….

That's incredibly impressive. Looks almost factory.

It’s amazing work. Mick Newey would never have allowed those exhaust tips but other than them I love it. What is the roof mechanism from?

It looks fairly distinctive with the glass going all the way down - most of the merc/audi/bmw ones i’ve seen tend to have a rear window glass in a complete frame with some fabric underneath..

Merc CLK:

that’s the one!

That 75 is a really cool summer cruiser

Dave!

Reminds me of the home made “Rover 150” i saw a few years ago

Top sleuthing.

A quick search reveals that this guy is 75 nuts. I can imagine that droptop could be quite nice with the aesthmatic but sonorous V8 drivetrain.
