Almost, but the URL for the image is not quite valid in that format.

It should be http://img125.imagevenue.com/aAfkjfp01fo1i-27084/l...

Sorry, no idea. I've never used imagevenue.

Hupmobile Series R Special Roadster?

New to me, but seen recently at Kop Hill Climb: 1978 Ford Healey Fiesta.





According to the blurb, the last car that Donald Healey was involved with. A North American-spec Ford Fiesta Mk 1 1600cc with wider wheels and flared wheel arches, spot lamps and Healey badges.

They called it a "saloon".....

A quick scan of Google results suggests its legit.

I also had not heard of the Healey Fiesta until last year, when my nephew was contacted by the Healey museum , they wanted him to take his RS over for an exhibition featuring the Fiesta.
his RS was given to Donald/Geoff by Ford at the time of the project, all this history was completley unknown to him before they tracked him down.

Bet that was a rather nice surprise - bit of extra provenance for the car.

Looks a fantastic example too.

While on a painfully slow coach from Plymouth to London my journey was brightened up by (what I think was) a maroon mk11 jag go storming past. Then about an hour later it tore past again with a dark blue Dtype (I assume replica) in tow. Guess it must have pulled off to meet up. Cheered me up a bit. 6ft 5 people don't fit on a mega bus very well.

Apologies for no piccy

Seen today. Sadly my camera died a few days ago so I only have my crappy phone to take pictures with for the time being.

There are some small car businesses behind the CarGiant auction site in Willesden. Number plates? Who needs them?
