Mint office.
On a Scandinavian note: 1966 Volvo 123 GT.
It is today that one fully realizes how incredible modern these Bavarian saloons were when they came out.
I vividly remember my first encounter with a DS which was in the early 70s when I was 6. A bordeaux Break looked like a spaceship.
A 'Le Caddy' is one of the most desirable of all 'déesse' - goddess - and the owner told me he would never sell his.
Always on the lookout for a tasty engine rasp I never gave these French gems must attention. And even now I can imagine having only a slight bit of excitement over a ride in one. They do look the bits and I'm sure they are quite comfy. But really, the engine is not much more than a mini factory to propell the damn thing.
Speaking of odd looks but WITH a tasty motor: Bristol 411 S5.
Mister Van Lennep took time for some inquiry.
I'll be there, August 24th.
Last 15 snaps in a bit.

California. Somehow 70% of the buyers choose their first Ferrari to be this one. Which is odd as this is the first ever Fcar with a V8 in. Was this the niche Maranello overlooked? SLS for me.
Yes, this has 2 litres more of tasty V8 and yes, it's German and not Italian so it shouldn't look better. But it does.
DB7 Coupe has a six and you know what: IMO it lacks the same roadpresence as the California. The Jag though . . .
Ouch.
The sound is ... intoxicating.
