Railton Fairmile- hard to believe there is an XJS under there

Aren`t those wheeltrims off a Fiat Uno?

Can't recall Fiat Uno having those wheeltrims

I may be wrong. Some none-descript euro hatch did though I am sure.

Either way they look like a pile of arse

They remind me of these!:

Can't believe nobody has mentioned the last 100 Griffs yet. I give you the TVR Griffith 500 SE




More info here :

50 werent there?

With an offer of making 1 more as a special favour which I'm not sure if the chap took up.

Officially 100, and 102 unofficially . There was an offer by the factory of another being built later on as number 41 was vandalised & set alight, not sure it was ever built though. The other two being the press SE car (used for the launch I beleive) and the factory development car that ended up in SE spec. Numbers -1 and 0.

Only 68 are known to still be in existance (one of which, number 47 - the car in the photo's above, is safely locked away in my garage )

Sometimes, only the most lavish and sumptuous standards are worth pursuing, and the Sapphire 2000E represents that philosophy. From the luxurious leather-covered seating in the air conditioned interior, 2000E motorists have a right to feel special. The impression is confirmed when the power is needed

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

A geezer down the road from me had an Orion 1600e





And also can i just say - holy thread resurrection Batman
