was cheating a bit (produced for Le Mans racing..!). there was i think just one or two automatic tiger mk1 prototypes made during it's initial development - have to check the book...
Dad had a 5 door BMW Alpina around 86 (when BMers weren't everywhere!): bloody quick around the corners... for an 8yr old! can't find info on which one but just checked
www.thealpinaregister.com
and it doesn't seem any of the Alpina models have gone 1000+
In the eighties the Alpina cars where more in the open so to speak, with mostly Alpina stickers on them, I remember as a young boy buying those aftermarket stickers to put on my BMW
Alpina was it then...
Its still very famous and the cars are very good, but it lost soul somewhere...? it lost character its not anymore wow a Alpina...
So for me the older cars from Alpina I like...the later newer models do not that what the old cars did to me.
I had a Alpina M3 E30 B6S replica also on paper with TUV and documents only it was build after it left the factory so no shieldnumber...though all the rest was on! also the 3.5L 6 cill and dials and and and...only the Alpina buildnumber missing...
Also had a origenal Alpina C1 E21 with a 2.7L ? don't remember exactly long time agao

alfa romeo 6c 2500 competizione / coupé usine (1948) not much info but rare
Talbot 2500 Lago Sport only 54 cars from 1955<>1956
more info and special pics you can find under this link;
www.wunscholdtimer.de/index.php?id=singleview_de&type=1&uid=296&L=0
Thurner RS only 121 made from this 1969<>1974 German carbuilder, it had wingdoors too
He made it with low air resistance by taking the shapes and the front window from a Porsche 904 GTS. . It should be light (it only weighs 570kg.) so he used a glass fiber bodywork like a Porsche 904 GTS He made it cheap (17.000 DM) by using new chassis from the NSU 1200TT , which made the spare parts cheap as well.

Toyota 2000 GT only 339 made from 1966<>1970
they also raced with such cars and did rallys too I believe, I remember having such toycar with a elektro engine

When I was a kid I remember reading about the TVR Griffith, it had a 7 litre engine but when I google search for them now all I can find is a 4.7 litre Griffith, has any one any details on these cars?.

I have some TVR books also about the old ones I realy like, but I can't remember a 7.0L V8 griffith...? only indeed the Tuscan V8 and the Griffith 200 and 400 series... but a 7.0L would be nice
hope someone find one and posted here incl specs... GTRene
I took this picture of a car I saw in Malton Yorkshire in September at the Malton show, It was a wet day so there wern't many cars there.
When this one showed up it got quite a crowd round it, It looked like a 1950's Ferrari Testarossa, sorry the photo of the front of the car got lost somewhere but atleast I got the reg.
The reg shows it to be a Red Sports built in 1983.
Any suggestions.

MG only made around 400 saloon ZT V8s before they went under, IIRC 
Leaves my car pretty rare, at least less common than the Noble I had (which was pretty rare at the time)
Leaves my car pretty rare, at least less common than the Noble I had (which was pretty rare at the time)In total, there were 883 made. This includes saloons and tourers, Mk1 and Mk2, Rover 75 V8 and MG ZT 260. They're therefore all pretty rare, with the rarest being the Rover 75 V8 Tourer (10 made) of which I don't have a photo, and the Mk1 ZT-T, of which 26 were made (including development models), of which mine, below, is one.

I f my memory serves me correctly I saw it in The observers book of cars dated early 60's, I do remember the top speed was 175mph so it can't have been a 4.7.
175mph...hm...than indeed its a lot faster then any of the sixthies TVR cars curious what it was then, could be a 7.0L smalblock they where there at he time, hm...hope someone knowes more!
From here i can not see what car that red one is...and I'm not so in the open cars too... looks expensive though
could be a Jaguar D-type though from 1954<>1957 And kermit, you better change that picture links a bit, you have a space between [pic]and the url on both sides and then it will not work...so remove the space and then we can see it too
thanks. GTRene

thanks. Doh! Tried that, and also tried what I thought was going to be standard public links to the pics. Didn't work there. I'll try one further way of getting them up there, but I'll have to wait for an upload to finish.

I see you have the link correct but its on a website where you have to register first
so its not open...maybe pick a picture from internet elsewhere? also the same on your profile picture both say this; You must be a registered user to view images!
