1971 Datsun 240z - THE Japanese sports car. If you want to see my car, take look at my gallery at www.zclub.net (same username there) or wait until December when I'll be on Granada Men & Motors with it as part of the 100 Most Popular Cars...Ever! series.

You mean like this?


They're huge fun and the Jaguar Carmine Red is quite a change from the usual battleship colour chart! There are apparently only 17 TE21 dhc's left - now there's another topic for this new forum - how rare is your classic?

1991 Saab 900 T16S

ticks most of the "what should appear in this section" boxes

BTW, whoever mentioned the Berkeley T60 - they are lethal. My dad had one for a couple of years while he slowly got it road ready (including fitting a couple of strut braces to it!).

Drove it up and down the road a couple of times and then stuck it up for sale - bloody thing was lethal, like a child's toy, would have been terrifying on the open road.

Terrible thing was the problem he had selling it. Everybody kept saying "fantastic car, lovely example" but not buying it!

He had to threaten to scrap it in the end if somebody from the owners' club didn't buy it. I think we all gave a sigh of relief when somebody finally bought it!

Lancia Beta Spider. Beaut of a car. I am its second owner. 78,000 miles from new, never had a welding torch laid on it. In my dumb-arsed youth I re-sprayed it from its original (and slightly faded) terracotta to Rosso Corsa, otherwise it is as original as the day it rolled out of the Zagato factory. It just needs using really. From its 1993 MOT to its current one its done less than 200 miles and I would calculate that the cost per mile in that time has been about £15....

Thank you kind sir!
I have to say, doing the photo shoot was very interesting and great fun.

The DB5 in the photo's had only done 35K

Hi there all.

I've got a 1988 Cavalier SRi130 currently undergoing full restoration along with some modifications. Popular cars in their day but now almost extinct. Hopefully a few will be saved though!

'82 Alfa GTV6. Not currently running, alas. Berk who fixed my clutch & synchros managed to stuff the battery and the fuel pump or relay

Still, when she goes it's wonderful...
