I wouldn't change a thing about that 924, it's a whole heap of awesome

I would change the wheels back to factory ones, but that's all I'd change. Two-tone 924 Turbos are ever such pretty things.

I have those seats in my 911. Pascha trim is definitely a "talking point."

Gone already.

OK, it's a whisker over budget - but this beauty needs a wider audience of appreciative followers of the genre

A lovely, Titanite red, C43 wagen.







It's from a well respected garage in MB circles and if I didn't already have an W124 E36 AMG I'd be in it!

[Fast Bug]

That's lovely!

Are they the ones with the most expensive gearbox in the world if it goes wrong?

[deadslow]

the C43 is very tempting. I've got some money burning a hole right now and the last two cars I went to see had sold that same day.

This looks fun. Probably about as quick as tectonic shift, but longer-lasting.

The cherry on top is the disguised front number plate.

I should imagine the risk of cloning is extremely high on this one!

[bob-lad]

I think the disguised plate is actually the original owner coming back and squishing the guy that's had it 2 years and not looked after it to the level promised.

So many cars I need and not enough space.

Must extend the garage.

Pasha seats & momo dished wheel - nicely judged. Lovely.

XJS Lynx cabrio. Decent number plate, looks in good nick.

The cabrio was always a little ungainly but it's an interesting car and has the right number of cylinders.

I've been underwhelmed by Alfas on the Barge 1-5 thread, but I like this.

They'd kind of ruined the Spider by the end hadn't they. It's still lovely compared to modern tripe, but compared to the earlier versions it's rather less so.

[Trabi601]

The S3 is by far the worst of the Alfa Spiders - and you could get a decent S4 for that kind of outlay.

It does put the rubber bumper MGB back into context at least!

Apart from the AMG and Biturbo badges, what do we think of this?

[Captain Smerc]

The wood !!!

[Jimmy Recard]

I agree, the wood is a bit too tikka massala-coloured, all things considered
