Cars of Coolhaven

Amidst the ‘old London photos’ were these rather dark pictures of a absolute stunner of a car, the lustrously curved classic Jaguar XK140 roadster. Back then, I could not Photoshop them back alive. Fortunately I have learned a thing or two and the pictures aren’t actually half bad. Feast your eyes out on this beauty! […]

On the parking lot of Diergaarde Blijdorp, this perky little two-seater roadster is parked. A MG? Fiat? Lancia perhaps? Nope! It is a… Datsun! Imagine my surprise. Only a few of these sports cars were shipped to Europe, let alone the Netherlands. It looks rather boxy, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The hood […]

Well, this car is… not the best looking sports car I have seen in my life. Actually, I don’t care for it at all. Keep in mind however, that I am more the kind of person that looks at the design of the exterior (yeah, I know, I drive a 307 Break… got to pay […]

Along with a new six-speed manual transmission, […]

Quoted straight from Wikipedia: The new, steel-reinforced black rubber bumper at the front incorporated the grille area […]

A straight descendant from the famous Gullwing 300SL, this still shiny, sleek Mercedes might perhaps be only a fraction of the beauty of its heavenly predecessor, it still is one pretty little roadster! It is no fun, shooting pictures of nicely preserved Mercedes’, there are just too many of them, but for this one I […]

This BMW Roadster is a funny little car. The Z1 is sort of a working concept car, with as most noticable parts the doors. These little doors don’t move outwards like normal car doors, they don’t move upwards like for instance Lambo doors, no, they… drop down into the door sills! How about that… The […]

The Mercedes-Benz 350 SL was a two-seat open roadster produced by Mercedes-Benz with various engines from 1971 until 1989. White cars are never my thing, but underneath the color lies a quite pretty old convertible with a solid looking hardtop. On this clouded day probably a nice drive, and imagine what it would be like […]
