    Save that photo for next time somebody says "all old British cars are beautiful". :P
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,682
    LOL, Shifty,no one familiar with popular British sedans of the 50s 60s and 70s would ever say that.

    I'm cheating here--this is a one-off but I thought you might like to see an unusual rendition of a car you see every day:

    '63 Plymouth. The only question is what model. We had one briefly, a blue sedan that was a hand-me-down from my aunt after our '66 Pontiac Catalina was wrecked. (In 1971.) I believe ours was a Belvidere. (My aunt had nicknamed it "Blue Boy.") It had the pushbutton automatic transmission. I'll bet this one is a Fury.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,682

    Close enough, it's a '63 Plymouth Sport Fury.

    Oh sorry, forgot to reveal the mystery "one-off".

    It's an early Porsche 911 spider from Bertone.

    Little known fact: Porsche generally sells more 911 convertibles than coupes per year.

    A real beauty, the Continental Mark II, from the late '50s.

    Sure, you know it's a Kia, but which model?

  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    But a Korean domestic model?

    Nice clean design, very well built. No not a classic (too new) but a second-tier collectible. Kinda hard to unload one on anybody but people enjoy looking at them.
  • negativenegative Member Posts: 107
    What you can't quite appreciate from the picture is how large the car is. I saw one at the auto show a few years ago, and everything about it was massive.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,682
    Yeah they are quite big, I like 'em but I'd love en if they were about 3/4 of the real size.

    That beautiful car is the 1956-57 Continental Mark II. They sold for the princely sum of $10,000 back then and were shipped in fleece-lined bags. Frank Sinatra had one.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,755
    And the Citroen is an early 70s SM...I hear there are a couple left in roadworthy condition

    Whi's going to guess post #1351??
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,682
    Yes, it's the legendary Citroen-Maserati, a car so wonderfully strange you expect it to be driven by Martians. There's something about the sleek arrogance of this car that has always appealed to me.

    Not really up to speed on Triumphs. Maybe a TR3?
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,682
    '59 TR-3A, IMO the best Triumph ever.

    I dunno about that KIA...not a NA spec car. Maybe I could dig though some old CAR mags and look for it...but I don't know if it was even sold in the UK.

    The Subaru is badged as a Leone, I think it was sold here as a GL10 or something.
  • navigator89navigator89 Member Posts: 1,080
    Anyone else wanna take a guess at post 1351?
  • lemkolemko Member Posts: 15,261
    Looks like a JDM Subaru - 1980 perhaps?
  • negativenegative Member Posts: 107
    My Corgi (toy) version is still in good shape.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,682
    Yep, that's a JDM Subie Leone, the car we know as the Subaru GL or Loyale.

    Sorry, Nav, one old KIA looks like another to me. Is it a Sephia?

    While I love Mustangs of that era, it does make it a little less of a task when the tape at the bottom along the door sill shows the info! ;)
  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 54,046
    a '67? A 500, so it's the big block (428 lump motor probably). IIRC, the KR stands for "King of the Road", although maybe that was just made up after the fact.

    It's also Green if that helps.

    That's a nice car. Some people think that the GT500 must be better but they'd be wrong :P

    Citroen SM -- a very WEIRD car to drive, but fun. One very odd thing about it is that the steering does not self center when you go around a turn. That may not sound like a big deal but try it sometime---very disconcerting. You take French hydraulic engineering and mate it to Italian mechanicals and...phew....you gotta be brave and you gotta want something really different. Certainly a technical tour de force and a very interesting car for its time, however.

    I would think that's nearly impossible in a front-drive car, I wonder how or why they did it that way.

    Sorry Stickguy but that's a '68 Shelby 500KR, not a '67 (the KR was new in '68).

    '64 Plymouth Barracuda, which was basically a Valiant fastback.

    Bob
  • navigator89navigator89 Member Posts: 1,080
    It's a Kia Clarus, sold overseas
  • Mr_ShiftrightMr_Shiftright Member Posts: 64,481
    Oh I missed that....thought it was a 350GT...what do I know?

    I wouldn't mind a regular '67 Mustang Fastback K code 4-speed.

    What is this funky looking car? :P ">

    An Italian Xb with a sense of humor?

    I saw an old Multipla once with the license plate THESLUG

    Fun car but he wore the engine hood hinges out.
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    What's really odd is that in Brazil they are trendy, and it's executives that buy them. They have tons of room inside and space like that is seen as a major luxury in a country full of mini cars.

    My brother has the egg-shaped Cirtoen Xsara Picasso. He's pretty brave, having owned a Renault before that.

    That Picasso had a manual tranny and little fold-out trays for the rear seats!
