This is a rather unique motorcar, it gives the first impression of being an early ’60s Zagato but it’s actually based on a DB7 Vantage from the late ’90s. Coachbuilders Evanta stripped the donor DB7 down to almost nothing…
Hong Kong is still one of the most visually fascinating places in the world, funny how that Mercedes doesn’t look out of place at all.
There are some photographs that seem almost like they float above time. This is a great example.
This is quite a remarkable Aston Martin DB4, although it isn’t one of the highly coveted DB4 Zagato models it has a history and a styling all it’s own.
It isn’t everyday that a mint condition, factory spec Mustang arrives on the auction block. This ’65 Ford Mustang underwent a 2 year restoration to exact, factory specification, right down to the fully functioning AM/FM radio, heater and window defroster.
I don’t think I’m a celebrity. I’m just a guy from east Texas who loves cars and airplanes.
The Lancia Stratos Stradale is quite easily one of the most famous cars of the last century. The first Lancia Stratos HF prototype was shown at the 1971 Turin Motor Show with the design being clearly based on the captivating Stratos Zero concept car from the previous year’s show.
It isn’t widely known that Gilles Villeneuve started his motorsport career racing snowmobiles in his native Quebec. It’s hard to imagine a racing series further removed from Formula 1 than this but somehow he took his talent from these humble beginnings to win the US and Canadian Formula Atlantic championships in 1976.
The 1959 Troy Roadster is a one off, road legal race car designed and built by Wally Troy in 1959. Wally was the first Jaguar dealer licensed in Illinois but his real passion was racing and his great dream was to design and build a road legal race car that could rub shoulders with the Formula 1 cars of the era.
The Buick Wildcat II was a pretty revolutionary design for Buick, it featured a 220hp V8 and a full fibreglass body, sadly it never saw a production run but I can imagine it giving the 1950’s Corvettes a run for their money.
The Jensen Interceptor is on the top 10 list of exotic cars I could potentially own, my other top 10 list features cars like the Ferrari 250 GTO, the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato and the Jaguar XKSS but unless I get really good at hot-wiring, they probably aren’t that realistic.
It saddens me that I can’t think of a single modern actor who possesses the same gasoline powered spirit of Paul Newman, Steve McQueen or James Dean. Not even one.
