Alfa Romeo have done some lovely coups over the years.

Got to agree - I had a 1750 GTV for a while in Malaysia, similar to the one below, which I bought on a sort of mid-life crisis whim.



It probably cost me a fortune to run but I neither noticed nor cared because by god was it a pretty thing...

[Bettyboo]

^very nice indeed.

[Bangyai]

Can't believe I missed this chance to once again expose my motor.




The humble Nissan NX coupe. Best car I ever had.

Was gonna respray it




But I'm broke. Still....a lot of car for 129,000 baht.

First coupe I ever had was this



But what is it ?

[Neverna]

A Hillman Imp, Singer Chamois or Sunbeam Stiletto

A Hillman Imp or Sunbeam Stiletto

Vegetables sent for first correct answer. I used to keep a small sandbag in the front to keep the front end on the road a bit more.

Doesn't look much, but boy can it shift!
I was lucky to have a go in one 20 years ago before speed camera's and took it over 140mph on the M6 in England!!
Earth shattering performance!!!

Vintage, really cool.

Stocking stuffer? The bonnet looks just about big enough to hide a sewing machine.

[Mr Lick]

Opel Manta GTE - Solid as a rock and never missed a beat in 4 years of ownership





Had one of these also

[Bettyboo]

Nice.



Oh dear...



Hmmm, not sure about that, it has a feel of tac about it.



That's nice, looks good in red, great wheels. Nice!

[flashbang]

"but what is it?" - It's a fooking peice of shit, mate.

[Mr Lick]

James Bond - Sunbeam Alpine - Dr No.

JB lost a great deal of style and class went he opted for an Aston Martin in his later films

[Bettyboo]

A piece of shite with character, and that goes a long way...

Rear engined........hence the sack of sand in the front to balance it out. These are actually collectable now . Saw one sold recently for well over a thousand pounds.

[Merrimack]

Thailand has a coup!

[Tom Sawyer]

Remember the Delorean? The first gull-wing-door car in 'mass' production. Company folded/production ceased after a couple years.

[Troy]

One of my all time favourites.....
