You have to hang a car on your wall....

Just found this whilst looking for old XJ pics, at least they've made it useful....

Porsche 917K... in Gulf livery

Problem is that they utterly DOMINATE the hallway room! So they look awful!




Can sort of the see the appeal of a engine from an F1 car in a display case. Remember seeing the Mercedes F1 engine V10 in a display case at Mercedes World many moons ago.


I prefer the "art" of motorbikes (or even pedal cycles) personally.




Not sure I could sit there so comformtably! (why is he sat like that too?! Sits like a woman! )

There's something for the simplicity of a single speed bike



A friend used to store her pedal bike in her hall on a bracket on the wall. All it meant was you had to dodge it when you walked in! Was pointless! Not like she didn't have a spare room she could have chucked it in!




Sort of works instead.

But I'd be looking at a full fat, full aero, Ducati MotoGP bike if I "HAD" to have a motorised display item in a house. But it wouldn't be wall mounted!

Does it have to be a whole car?

Ripple bonnet 2cv for me. Shelved out like the excellent xj6/12 picture earlier.

S1KRR - a chap after my own heart.

I'd quite gladly (funds permitting) commission a custom bicycle from Ricky Feather or Demon Frameworks with the primary purpose of it sitting on a wall looking pretty.

Motorbike wise, it'd have to be a R7 for me...

Couple of year ago there was half a 355 for sale - was very tempted to buy it to put it on my living room wall

This is a really dificult question

Most of the cars I immediatley thought of, were because of what they can do more than how they look, so reducing it purely to looks is hard.

Maybe an XK120

Agreed - stunning car, yet if you looked at it as a plan view it'd look pretty mundane.

Jordan 191.

Am I doing this right?

[anonymous-user]

Anyone remember a Grand Designs episode when he went in and the owner had installed a Ducati 998 on the wall? Kevin nearly had a fit.

But if you're asking, a Bugatti Type 35.

F1 car-7up Jordan I think

Excellent choice! After saying I would pick Schumacher's 1994 Benneton B194 I actually though or would I pick the 191 Jordan.
