Something a little different from the latest Petrolicious video, with three cars vying for attention and all a little less exotic than some vehicles recently featured. Alright, Sunbeam Tigers, Volvo 123s and MGBs aren't exactly common but then by the same token they aren't
BMW M1
Ferrari GTO
But as proven with vids such as the Honda CRX and BMW M3, a great Petrolicious video is about the story and not necessarily the cars. That of Hans Abrahams is another where childhood dreams are realised as an adult, where his English father introduced him to European rallying. There begun a lifelong obsession resulting in the three rally-prepped cars seen here.
The Tiger is probably the most special of the trio, particularly with a more potent V8 now in it. For Hans it represents the perfect combination of his English heritage and American upbringing. In fact the video is worth watching just to see (and hear) the Tiger being driven hard through on mountain roads. Volvo's pretty cool too.
