I was going to post that myself! Im actually developing something of a fetish (for want of a better word) for art deco cast alloy things. I keep thinking about starting a collection of beautiful bonnet ornaments mounted on little plinths - Hispano Suiza, Rolls Royce, Voisin, Jaguar, Dusenberg and Bentley are all prime contenders to get it started!

I've also stumbled across this - an alloy sculpture of the VC10, IMO the most beautiful jet airliner even surpassing the Comet. Sadly from what I can ascertain, it was a one off sold at auction a few years ago

Like the look of that but a bit pricey

Are you two in the right thread? That is just a tacky cheap ring that looks like it has been made by Chemical chaos to impress the ladies that will still not have sex with him. It is an awful thing

My brother is responsible for the Pebble Beach trophies & a few other things of beauty, motoring or aeronautical related.

Exemplary. I can assure the gentleman that there is absolutely zero chance any pedestrian impact will cause any issue for the car.

there is a requirement that the victim's family have to write to the owner to apologise for being run over

+2. Utterly naff and probably a very effective woman repeller.

Nope, but I know somebody who would. I have very little time for him. (In fact none, if I can help it.)

I'm not that up on my bikes, but is that the weird 2 rod, 8 valves per elongated cylinder thing?

Proper engine pron has 'Carrillo' laser etched on the side

Saw this magnet pattern last night, keep going back to look at it. Can't quite figure out how it's built up, not as symmetrical as it first seems yet so structured and patterned. Mesmerising! (to me at least....)

Perhaps more of a cool object rather than a beautiful one, but how about Panasonic's CD/MP3 head unit, complete with vacuum tube amp and vu meters?

Bellerby globes have got some great looking stuff, all hand painted and very expensive

Prices are on the site.

The really, really huge ones are over 60k.
The one I posted is about 16k :/

That said, I know people who would spend that on a watch so...
