Outdoor Euro car show

[justyfied]

Just starting to work over my photo's. here is just a snippet of a car show I went to. Some stuff I didn't know existed, others I never expected to see in the flesh.









And a pair of those rather common everyday Mini Wagons



I will keep posting more here.

Notice that Italian and German High end Sports cars usually come in red, The color of choice for a constable looking for the next victum for his ticket book









Now if all of that exotic metal was mine I would sell it to buy every SMALL car I have ever wanted ;D

Like a samll block Chev V8 MGB



How about a minty Bug eye?



There was half a dozen Jags, I planned on getting them all but my camera was acting up



Not sure why this is here, must have got in thru sheer force of cubic money!



This is more worthy!



How about some "Tomato" al la Pantera?



How about some music from Saab?





Not sure what in the heck this is, other than it is English?





There were 2 of these James Dean Porsche"s


And one on the roadway just outside the show.



My Favorite, a Abarth 750GT Bubble top



That's it for now. I will do some on V.W's next.

Love the Pantera, Italian beauty with Ford Australia muscle power :-).
The bare metal car your not sure about has got Ford Ghia badges on it, but I am wondering if it is hand made, I love it. I also love the SAAB & the Abarth, never seen one of those SAAB's before.
You can't but help love the Gull Wing Merc.
The Chev powered MG could be a bit of a hand full, but fun to drive I bet.

Here is a wiki link to the SAAB Sonett V4 pictured in these photos.

I could see myself tooling around in one of these , but I don't know that I would find one here in Australia & looking at the estimated values of these cars I think it would be a little out of the reach of my piggy bank .

Here is some interesting links on what it can do (122MPH) and maybe what it will do with a bigger available engine next year .. .. 130 mph?

You have got to love the sound of that two stroke reving its "ring" out in a car on the dyno ;D .
