Interesting mix. She has a v.cool Triumph Fury which is so rare I only remember seeing pictures of it as a kid. An ISO Grifo... and a Diahatsu Copen!

It's like a less expensive version of Jay Leno's garage- someone who's just bought what she thought was cool and that's the central theme. Lots of cool oddball cars like the Amphicar, the Three wheeler that leans over from Holland(?) and the small coupe Toyota made (Sera?) with gullwing doors.

Anyone know what the red thing next to the Copen is?

It's a Honda Sports 800, btw.

Toyota, not Honda. Not sure why I wrote Honda.

Toyota Sports 800. I'd like to know which Vanwall she owns! I suspect it's one of those modern replicas with mudguards et al which is simply a recreation in the vaguest sense.
