The B16 though:



... takes beauty to a whole new level. Screaming FVC yum.

I'd have a road legal rep in the blink of an eye.

Me too.

I saw this at Castle Combe in 1989.
I wish I'd taken more photos of it.

My wife still wants me to build her one of those.

Yes, I remember, and you have taken longer to "get around to it" than I have to do the extension my wife would like me to build for her too

How about the Innocenti Spider

[sim16v]

Very nice.

Looks like a 4 door Citroen SM behind it?

Well that could easily be a scaled down TR5, perhaps triumph's equivalent of the MG Midget but then that would be a Spitfire so ignore that

[dandarez]

A one off!

It's still out there.

It's based on Midget/Sprite mechanicals, I Think BL owned the company at the time.(another one of their lost opportunities I guess)

Looks more French than Italian to me. Has a whiff of Simca about it.

Good background spotting to be had...

From the left, I'm thinking BMW E24, Mk3 Escort, Transit, Fiat Strada 130TC, Montego, B1 Passat, Scirocco??, Scimitar, Renault Fuego, white van, black saloon and Mk 2 Fiesta.

That white G12 is nice though isn't it! 

Anyway, some don't know what a G12 is, even on here.
