Oh well, there is always room for another TR6. I like the little sports cars, they are nice to look at. Specs and info in the earlier posts. Enjoy!

Ford Galaxie 500 XL Convertible (1960-1964)

October 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment

How about a nice big boat of a Ford to get things started here again? And two door convertibles don’t easily become much bigger than this white whale… What can I say about a big gassguzzling V8 monster like this? Well,very little, I don’t know these cars at all! Wikipedia has a nice page about [...]

Jensen Interceptor Mk III cabriolet

August 9th, 2008 · No Comments

What better car to re-kick off with than one of my all time favourites, the Jensen Interceptor? I have posted one before, but that was the closed body version. And a rather worn down one as well, to be frank. This beauty of a car is spotted on a sunny day at the beach at [...]

TVR Chimaera 450 (1992-2003)

July 19th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Finally, I spot myself a ‘modern’ TVR. I was on the look-out for one of these for some time now. Well, to be honest I would prefer a ‘Russian’ Sagaris, but still. I like the concept behind these sports cars, and I know, I really can’t pretend that it is a surviving British sports car [...]

Jaguar XK150 DHC (1957-1961)

July 15th, 2008 · No Comments

No, this is not a cabriolet, this is a… drophead coupé! Damn, such nice names are given to such nice cars! Is this the proper car to live a glorious life, or what?! What a beauty… Granted, at first it was slower than the XK140 it replaced, but they quickly resolved that with some bigger [...]

Morris Minor 1000 convertible

July 14th, 2008 · No Comments

I thought I had posted a Morris Minor here before, but apparently I am mistaken. Can’t find it anyway… Oh well, even better, because this convertible Minor 1000 is quite nice to look at! Don’t you just love that dashboard?! I might be developing a fetish for oldskool dashboards . There is really a ton [...]

Ariel Atom 1

July 2nd, 2008 · 1 Comment

This isn’t a car, it’s a… well, what is it? Apparently, when you are driving it, it is best descibed as Hell on Wheels! That is, when you are trying to go as fast as the Ariel can handle. You probably can’t… How in the world they managed to make this exoskeleton extra-large go-cart street [...]

Jaguar E-Type

June 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Well, this car needs no introduction, and no tech talk either. This is the E-Type! Currently, I work near a prime wedding location, Delft city hall. Very handy for spotting nice cars on your lunch break
