Japanese, Italian, German & French Collection

[OnePaintedMan]

I've slowly been building a small collection of cars that represent my favourite (affordable!) models, representative of each countries characteristic approach to motoring passion.

My 1990 Eunos Roadster 'Ronin' (Supercharged, intercooled and modified exterior details and interior)



My 2001 Alfa Romeo GTV Cup V6 (#60 of 155)



My 1994 Porsche 968 Sport



. . . and finally 'my' (picking it up tomorrow!) 1970 Citroën DS21 EFi Pallas

Agreed, it covers a lot of bases. That DS is a stunner in that green and I love the green seats too.

[Benten]

That 968 looks mint! Great collection of cars, is there going to be a British addition?

[Nik da Greek]

What a brilliantly eclectic selection All it needs is a Venetian rear window blind for the Pallas and it'll be perfect

[miniman]

Fabulous collection

[RicksAlfas]

Excellent collection.

(Needs a Range Rover Classic to finish it off).

[iacabu]

Great collection op.

Classic Porsche dashes are definitely among the best, but the aftermarket mx5 dash you have looks great too

Superb collection!!! I've recently bought a standard Mk1 MX-5 and I'm looking at your Eunos with serious envy

Thanks and congrats. They are fantastic cars. It's amazing what you can achieve with them given 13 years, ebay, blood sacrifice (many skinned knuckles), a dremel, the support of an amazing owner community and perserverence!

I struggle to do much myself, lack of time and more so workspace. It's currently with a specialist having some bodywork TLC and I'm tempted to have it full rebushed, subframes powder coated etc over winter...

Yours really does look awesome though, love what you have done with the interior.

Erm. . .yeah. Garage space is a problem. Defo need a bigger garage now! That's the plan for next year.

I know its relative, but you don't need to be a millionaire either. The 4 cars in my original post cost the same to purchase in total as a new bottom of the range range BMW 3 Series! Shrewd shopping is required!

Wow, a right hand drive DS, not seen one of those for years. A nice and varied collection, well done.
