[Pericoloso]

If the Russians found the bunker and nuked the entire area ,there would have been no TOWIE.

Why oh why did it have to remain a secret ?

Yes, but don't tell anyone. It is our little secret.

Well, ignorance is bliss.

Is it in "The North"?

Between you and me it is more than "The North".

Damn it, looks like I'm not allowed to say anymore.

I live very close to there. Is there a reason why you have blanked out the road sign?

Because I posted the same picture in a Facebook "Spotted" group where there is a strict "no locations" policy. Granted, a car on the road is not the same as a car on a driveway with the address written next to it. But it's a habit.

They were never big sellers so my first thought was that must be most of them, but according to Wikipedia it's actually only 27% of them.

Is the "Fangio coupe" an actual model of Chevy, or just a name applied by the public ?

Just applied by the public, many years later.

I've not google on purpose...Carrera Panamericana exploits or just domestic?

You have to realise that when Fangio competed in these events circa 38-41 it was prior to his F1 career and he was unheard of outside of South America, so it wasn't until many decades later (80's onwards) and the re-introduction of 'historic' rallying and endurance events like the Carerra Panamericana that people then used that past connection with one of the most famous names in F1 to generate interest. So, to people that perhaps have no real interest in a 1938 Chevy business Coupe, its much more attractive to describe it as a Fangio Chevy purely due to the fact that he drove them on some events prior to his F1 career.
Its a bit like calling every blue/gold WRX Scooby a McRae Subaru.

Seen lastweek - it's coming up as a reliant on GOV site?
Only got a rear shot of it - it sounded very flat/gutless as it drove past me>

Looks like a Scimitar-based BMW 328 replica to me.

[Schmeeky]

Genuinely can't decide whether this belongs here, as a classic. Thoughts?

It has heaps of cool though, imho!

Not heaps. Not quite level with the top of the sides at best.

[LotusOmega375D]

Looks like the scary driver is getting ready for the apocalypse. He's got the best car for it.

A very very poor impression of a 328

[TR4man]

amongst the humdrum moderns in the works car park today was this nice MGBGT

[Jukebag]

I doubt the owner of that 328 replica is remotely bothered if it's a poor copy or not, as long as he feels happy with it. And who would pay the daft money that originals are fetching these days?. like this one:

This was one I saw in regular use a few years back. The owner said it was 'still good for a ton'.

If one puts ones anorak on.............

That's a 327 rather than a 328.

However, semantics aside, its bloody lovely
