COOL CLASSIC CAR SPOTTERS POST!!! Vol 2

[TR4man]

To my eyes, the Aurelia demonstrates that beauty can be simple and that simple can be beautiful.

[Pothole]

The two show Ghia design from the sublime to the ridiculous, in my eyes.

Spotted this immaculate looking Morris Oxford (Bullnose I think) in Whitby yesterday during the heaving Goth weekend. Brave parking up in such a very busy place.

Parked in front of a local pub yesterday



And a few from the Cheshire Run today, though I missed a lot of them.

Is that enough for you ?....

Looks like an HF Turbo IE. My Dad had one for many years in the early 2000s. Was a 1.6l turbo so pretty quick but nowhere near the Integrale. Was a lot easier to use as it was RHD and surprisingly little went wrong with it while he had it. Sold it to someone who didn't really appreciate the power paired with terrible brakes so we saw it stuffed into the middle of a roundabout a few weeks later.

He was lucky....

My cousin bought one in the early 90's, so only about 4 years old at the time (as he couldn't afford an Integrale)............I think something on it broke about once per month for the 2 or 3 years he owned it......mind you he drove it like he stole it ALL the time.

That's a very rare Delta Turbo HF 4WD. The progenitor of the Integrale and I think the winner of the first of the 6 Manufacturers World Championships that get credited to the Integrale.

Certainly looks like it.

[Dr Interceptor]

Morgan most likely given the skinny front wheels.

Most other three wheelers like the Grinnall Scorpion generally have rather fatter wheels.

Yup. NOT A CLASSIC!

[Pericoloso]

I looked up 2001 Sonata on images and nothing matched but left the post up anyway.

I got the maker right......

Well, in fairness, it's all written right there on the bootlid.

You and your fake Italian!

The proper fake Italian would be, "I-er gotta da maker righter."

My detective work is poor,I blew the pic up to read the badge after posting wrong answer and looking at images of Sonatas.

My first Lancia Delta HF Turbo was such Martini example from 1985, with a lovely interior, exactly like this one (I only have a very old blurred picture from back then) I bought that one in 1994 met second Lancia was a Delta HF Integrale a grey one also back in 1994 from 1989 my third lancia was a Delta HF Integrale from 1998 a red one back in 1996, my fouth one was a Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo 3 from 1992 back in 1998 all in all from beginning 1994 till the end of 1998 I owned and driven about 40 cars in that period, one at the time ofcourse, I liked to change now and then when I was young, made some profit as well as a bonus.





ow, my last Lancia was this one, also old pictures, but good enough to show, back in 1998 its a combined picture with my Alpina B6s e30 M3 which was a sort replica, but also had the original Alpina 3.5 engine under the bonnet and way more.

I think he was. He drove it quite sensibly, just giving it an 'Italian tune up' every now and then to make sure the turbo was still OK. I think rust was slowly creeping in along with his arthritis meaning power steering was probably a wise idea. Before that he had the base model 1.3. That was the car I was always embarrassed by. Made worse as one winter he cut out the front of a cornflake packet and put it in front of the radiator. At least it was Kellogg's and not own brand. That car was getting through MOTs by luck more than anything, it had a huge rust hole in the A pillar and the speedo broke so it had the same mileage for 3 years. Luckily it got written off in a minor shunt on a motorway sliproad.
