Just a grasp of booty from sunday 10th's KR:


I'm not a Morgan fan but you've to admit this rear is rather stylish. Note the pencilholder on the dash.


Simple and decent proportions here, Healey 100/6.
Everyone comparing a Wiesmann to this is out of his mind. The W'mann was inspired by the Healey, but way further in developement and purpose.


Small Porkers had it right way back in the 60s. No power-drama, just an elegant phat Dzjerman galls arse.


US specced E 1.5. Look at those bumpers and the solution for the taillights. Tidy exhaust.


Gandini had it right with the Countach. LP400 over an LP5000S, but hey I'm not complaining 'bout this one. A flamespitter even at tick over: Prrrrr-pop-pop-prrrrrrrrrr-pop-pop-pop-prrrrrrrrrrrrr . . ."

...you could always look at the rear of one and see the rear of the car the lights were intended for but not the Chim and Cerb. A great effort from TVR
Started off as upside-down Ford Fiesta units...

nono
you are thinking about the griffith, the griffith had upside down vauxhall cavalier rear lights, the chim and the cerb had fiesta light's fitted as normal.
on the later cerb's IE the lightweight's, and the red rose versions had the four dotted rear lights as standard, but on the lightweight the light conversion was just black.

Eh? I'm certainly not thinking about the Griffith - I've got one and know what lights I've got! So... the only thing I got wrong about the Chimp and Cerb is that they are the correct way up.

I have to admit I thought that it was a myth about the lights being upside down on the early chims and cerbs.

Later chims and cerbs have the LR Forward Control lenses.
