Steve Saleen started out modifying Mustangs.

Yeah and he ended up building the S7, quite a long time ago. With a space frame with composite strengthening panels and a carbon fibre body. I'm sure Horacio Pagani had to earn a crust from means other than hand-building wild hypercars once upon a time.....

Bit of a Freudian slip?

I think he was called Straker.

VW E-Crafter.

Big old thing for electric drive. Good idea though.

In a similar fashion there's an electric Vito due in a few months with an electric Sprinter due next year. There's also an electric Renault Master due about now too.

Nissan already have an electric van which is only slightly smaller than a Transit, NV200 or something similar. Renault have the Kangoo van in electric flavour. For inner city stuff they are pretty logical but I'm disappointed in the range (99 miles) of the big one. I guess the batteries eat into the payload weight too much.

I saw a electric UPS brown van the other day.

Motors were quiet, however it was knackered and rattled and squeaked everywhere else

Honda S660. Don't know how I managed to miss it, even though it isn't sold by Honda in the UK.

cool little cars, damn expensive import though, they run up towards £20k last time i checked.

I love kei sportscars, they seem like a ton of fun to drive.

1960 DB HBR5 Coach Surbaissé


I wanted to find an old thread that asked for help identifying a french car parked in a square in the 60s. This one looks a bit similar but I'd need to see the original picture to be sure.

I saw 2 of those in Italy last week and I also thought about that thread but the front is wrong I think.

Yes, agreed.

Back is a fair match, front is miles off.

I think people are correct on that thread in that it is a one-off special, but I doubt we will ever find the true identity of the car. Which is utterly infuriating!
