Some
of my favourite examples
|
|
A classic Art Deco design. Highly influential but a commercial flop. |
This car was the swansong of Armstrong Siddeley Motors |
A UK licensed version of a US Frazer-Nash design. A bit of an oddity |
|
A landmark design with its front wheel drive |
The notorious De Lorean still looks fantastic with its stainless steel body |
A real muscle car from the early 70's |
|
The Facel Vega was a French attempt to produce a luxury grand tourer |
My Dad had an estate version which he wrecked after hitting black ice |
A classic for all the wrong reason. One of Fords most famous flops. |
|
A Cadillac of the Prohibition era....complete with running boards for hoods to shoot from! |
A beautiful Duesenberg. This is the most valuable car in the collection. |
Produced in various versions with Singer and Humber badges, this car is still produced in Iran today. |
|
Famous for its kit cars, Marcos produced this beauty in the seventies |
The Messerschmitt even had a cockpit like an aeroplane |
The Minor's big sister, it was produced in India long after its demise in the UK. |
|
Dad's car was never like this! |
A rare example of a car that never made it to production and yet arguably would have been a great success. |
A classic "Cyclops" Rover from the early fifties |
|
The "shark" shaped Corvette from the mid sixties was one of the sexiest shapes ever made |
Feast your eyes on this room full of red sports cars! |
Another American muscle car, this time from Pontiac. Jim Rockford drove one of these. |
|
I learned to drive in one of these! |
I just like it that's all! |
One of GMs US designs transplanted to Britain. Its certainly a period piece. |
