Lambo rocked -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l. Really, Sprint 1.7 Ducati Monster 600 Metallic www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
Still undecided - although the more I look, the more I'm convinced Andy is right. The tail-lights certainly look pretty accurate, and therefore, it would have to be as wide as the real thing to keep the rear end in proportion. However, and I think this is a bit of a giveaway, the exhaust looks like a couple of universal Peco / Supersprint silencers slung under the tail. For a start, I doubt anyone owning a real one would use such obviously poor silencers, but they also seem to exit the car in the wrong place. A real one has, ISTR, has a twin pipe can either side - pushed further out than the ones in the pic appear to be.
Heh, cool. I had, circa 1986, a 1972 Hillman Hunter GT which had been, *cough*, breathed on... 1725 Holbay engine with chromed Rostyle 4-spokes Overdrive gearbox Peco rallye exhaust Peter Lloyd Springs Bilstein shocks Sparco bucket seats Willans four-point harness Hand-fabricated 6-point cage. Bought more or less as listed above for £500.

A mate of mine during the heady days of the late 80s had a fake Lambo 500S. It was absoultely convincing until he started it up; it was Rover V8 powered. You can tell that from that ickle pic? I'm not convinced one way or t'other. The Lambo's zorst was notorious for rot and, whilst you can still get them from the factory, they're stupidly expensive. Larini do reasonably priced replacement zorsts for many supercars... www.larini.com And this guy, he's got the right idea... http://www.countach.ch/exhaust.html Like I said, I can't tell from the eBay pics, but a real one can be seen, above. -- | Wik -UKRMHRC#10- 2000 ZX12R-A1 -DC#1 -'FOT#0 'FOF #39 - BOD#12 BOB#12 |# You don't believe me | "Experience is the worst teacher. |That the scenery | It always gives the test first |Could be a cold-blooded killer. | and the instruction afterward." ***** human response from wik at blueyonder dot co dot uk *****
Don't be silly, the most beautiful car ever put into production?? http://www.motorbase.com/vehicle/6/9/7/picture.html I know it's not a proper Ferrari, but the 246GT wins it hands down! Alex

Looking at the cars up there, and then odgen's comment, and, more significantly, watching Bullitt for the first time last week, has made me realise that I actually quite like the big US muscle cars. I think it's the same thing as liking the more "sensible" streetfighters; an impression of raw power.
nonsense: http://www.motorbase.com/vehicle/1/3/0/4/3/6/5/3/1/0/picture-1.html is what you want. Well, it's what *I* want...
(/delurk) I want one of these, preferably red http://www.motorbase.com/vehicle/9/3/3/picture.html (relurk/)
Mick Whittingham said.... So do I, but mine has to be a FHC in light metallic blue, and it has to be a 1964/65 model 4.2 with a black interior. I wouldn't want a 3.8 flat floor with external bonnet locks, like that one, cos they are a bitch to get some parts for, and even more prone to rust than later ones. Plus, the gearchange is fucking awful on the Moss box used in the 3.8 variant. Last time I drove a 3.8 E-Type, I smashed my knuckles on the dash mounted switches when changing into 3rd. The 4.2 is a smoother engine too. -- Lozzo ZZR1100D, GPZ500S, CB250RS x3 BOTAFOT#57/70a, BOTAFOF#57, two#49, MIB#22, TCP#7, BONY#9, ANORAK#9, DIAABTCOD#14, UKRMT5BB, IBW#013, MIRTTH#15a/16, BotToS#8, GP#2, SBS#10, SH#3, DFV#14, KoBV#3.
