Cars of Coolhaven

So, not yet another TR6 for me this time, nope, it’s a late seventies rear-wheel drive Triumph TR7. I like the TR6, the design is exciting and filled with emotion. This car, I am not so sure about. To be honest, it is not a completely honest and unbiased opinion. This car looks remarkable like […]

Now this is exactly the kind of car that I was not expecting in the parking lot of a Tesco’s, on a Thursday night somewhere in one of Essex’ many sleepy towns. Some 2000 of these cars were produced, so it isn’t the rarest of finds, but still. I was pleasantly surprised. The pictures aren’t […]

I kinda stopped taking pictures of Porsches… There are way too many of these cars in Rotterdam, so if some special version visits Coolhaven, sure, but all these Targa’s, Caymann’s, Cayenne’s and what nots in the city, I have stopped to bother. Even combo’s of multiple Porsches aren’t that hard to do… But for some […]
