Having a bit of cleaning session yesterday, I lined a few up for a photo.
The Jensen and others were in the garage, but not sure I'd have got them all in the photo anyhow....
Well you could have fitted the Jensen in the space taken up by that enormous BMW "Mini" for a start The Jensen and others were in the garage, but not sure I'd have got them all in the photo anyhow....

Hi vpr
I have wanted a C2 for a long time and had the opportunity to live the dream. I'm not sure I'm done with C2s yet!!
The reason why a 1963 Saddle Tan 327/340 ticked all the boxes for me is a long story but it goes back to an issue of Hemmings and time spent in Texas in 1982 - so when this one came along it was a 'must'. Saddle tan cars are so rare, particularly when combined with Saddle tan leather.
However, with the benefit of the experience I'd probably go for a '65 or later C2 next time around. Have to say, the Corvette club (and NCRS) people are a great bunch and I've made a lot of friends.
Very different car to the 308! Needless to say, I can see the appeal of both.
Certainly a lovely colour combo. Love tanI have wanted a C2 for a long time and had the opportunity to live the dream. I'm not sure I'm done with C2s yet!!

I made the mistake 10 years ago of selling my 66 427 roadster. Although I did buy another dream car.
I always missed that car so much so bought another a couple of years back. I am lucky enough to have quite a few cars but the Vette is one that will stay, something very special about them
Love your 427. The new colour really suits it.
This is my 1973 Intermeccanica Indra; we were very proud to have it featured in the June issue of Auto Italia magazine.
This car was the last 327 Opel (Chevy) V8 car to leave the factory before it all went south at the start of the oil crisis. Intermeccanica took most of the running gear directly from the Opel Diplomat and housed it in a bespoke chassis and all-steel body styled by Franco Scaglioni.
Considering the low production nature of this car, it's a joy to drive and is our choice for long distance touring. Long legs, great boot space and even a few creature comforts.

So nice seeing a car with so little few and pieces stuck on, (thinking chrome strips, badges etc etc.). Lovely shape as well.This car was the last 327 Opel (Chevy) V8 car to leave the factory before it all went south at the start of the oil crisis.

Sublime.
Now, I give you good price...
Appropriate, given your other car. Erich Bitter was involved with selling Intermeccanicas in Germany. He wasn't a huge fan of the Intermeccanica and thought the could build a better car, hence the Bitter CD (which was developed from an Opel Diplomat-based styling concept).Now, I give you good price...

It got a great reception there - I'm never entirely sure what people will make of it - most haven't a clue what it is. I hope that the Auto Italia article goes some way to giving these niche cars the exposure and recognition they deserve. What's nice is that the Reisners are still very enthusiastic about their creations and seem very happy to engage with owners and enthusiasts alike; we were in Vancouver last summer and Henry Reisner gave us a tour of the current operation (very impressive) and had lunch the following day with Paula Reisner (well into her 80's; as sharp as a pin and an absolutely fascinating lady to talk to about everything they did back then). What lovely people.
