Nice motors guys!
Zimbo, you're right, I remember that's the numbers (675LT) that were on the side badging and the chap did say it was a rare beast, I just looked at the number plate! They started it up to manoeuvre it around a bit and it did sound the business...
I forgot to mention that in my Fantasy Garage I'd also have my original souped up 1982 1275 Mini, my 2001 Cooper and my 2003 JCW 210... And my current R56 - fantasy garages must have Tardis-like interiors!
2008 R56 COOPER S, Pepper White, Black Roof, 'John Cooper' Signature Side and Bonnet Stripes, JCW 'Stage 1' Tuning Kit, Forge Intercooler, Milltek Downpipe & Sports Cat, ALTA Induction, Chris Knox/DNA Remap, JCW/Brembo Brakes, Limited Slip Diff, JCW Suspension and Front Strut Brace, 17" Crown Spokes with Non-Runflat 205/45x17 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, JCW/Recaro leather Seats, JCW Sideskirts, Chili Pack, Front Spotlights. Still got my old Hendrix Badge blu-tacked to the dash!
Nice cars but .....better cars for me would be
Twin cam Lotus Escort
Twin Cam Lotus Cortina Mk1 (original A frame)
Lotus Sunbeam
Avenger Tiger Mk2 (twin headlights)
HS Chevette ....or HSR
Nissan Cherry Turbo
All much more fun
The cars in front are New MINI Scotland
Euan, an old broker friend of mine has his garage attached to his living room, with a glass wall and curtain separating them. It could take about 6 cars, At the time I new him he had a
Lotus Ellan
Lotus Elise.....which was his favourite car ???
Couple of classic Porsche's
Healey 3000
and at the time a brand new R8
he drove about to clients in a Volvo
Up to 20k- 2000-2004 TVR Tuscan or E60 M5
20-50k- probably the best 911 turbo I could find or C63 AMG
Sky's the limit- F40, XJ220, Vanquish.
I could add so much to that list lol but I think that would be my dream choices.
Cars in your house through the glass? That's class!Originally Posted by weefossy
Eddie, I had forgotten TVR! Visited the factory in Blackpool a couple of times, and saw many amazing machines including the absolutely bonkers Speed 12, but always loved the Griffith. Understated looks (for a TVR) but with that glorious V8 soundtrack. It was the automotive equivalent of Chuck Norris - not too big and showy, but it could kick your head in before you could say "Six time world karate champion"!
