Couple of long term keepers - 1989 3.2 Carrera, and 1999 F355

How long before 355's are seen as 'classics'? - not sure whether they qualify for this thread just yet






and a recent purchase - 1988 300SL

Some really lovely cars in here smile

1974 Jensen Interceptor Convertible (built Sept 74, registered Jan 75), one of 86 RHD UK cars, and un-restored with just 27k on the clock.




...and my Stag, currently away having an engine rebuild... missing her like crazy.

This is my 1959 Chevy Impala that I've owned since 1989. I'm missing it at the moment as a friend is kindly storing it until the garage at my new home is extended to accommodate its rather long length. I am missing my V8 fix and rowing through the four speed! I also have a 1959 Anglia 105E which is possibly the earliest one still on the road and is unrestored. Now I need to find a photo!

That's so gross that I almost like it! hehe

Seriously though, being a youngster growing up in the days of E-Types and DB5s I never understood American cars. How on Earth do you park one of those when you go out for a drive? scratchchin

It's clearly in immaculate condition but a 2 door car that's 20 feet long leaves me confused! wobble

That demands an explanation! Why has it been sleeping since the early nineties?

Cryonic preservation hehe To stop it blowing away in the wind.
I think it must be an age thing…I still have trouble seeing these as a classic… I am very much of the MK2 era..This was the beginning of manufacturers conning people into thinking that a cheap to produce FWD package was better then an engine placed correctly in an engine bay with a prop and diff….

This was the beginning of the end of the fun period with RWD cars in my book!!

I am sure it is in lovely nick though…

I did once go through harlow hill village backwards in one at about a ton smile

How do I park it? Carefully, lol. Not that it gets parked in public places a lot these days.

And it's only 18 feet long, not twenty, like that makes a difference.smile And two doors are cool although I understand why you're confused but they did make a lot of four doors as well!

Ahhhhh misconception.
Black was only used in production line models later on in the T's life. As Black paint was the quickest to dry.

My car is a pre production line vehicle so colours were offered.
