Unusual/Rare/Strange Vehicles

Properly legendary. So, so small in real life too! Oh, and the noise. Especially with the rally prepared ones. Those were taken at the Chatsworth Rally by me last year. I'm taking ear plugs next time I go

Yes, it might still be re-born yet:

Did someone say Lancia?

Oooh thank you. The noise was probably because the Stratos had the Dino 2.4 V6. How sad am I to know these things.

[Wardy]

It's OK, you're among the similarly afflicted! You're safe here :p

[magic62]

Dont be sad Amanda, I also remember the Flavias, Fulvias, HFs, 246 dinos as new cars.....

I have no life, apart from shopping for shoes. :(

But, we already had a life longer than most of the others

Bottom of our street.

This guy obviously likes his personal plates as well as his V8s!

He used to have V8 LOVR on the PT Cruiser.

[Wardy]

Can you actually get a PT Cruiser with a V8? Otherwise that's a bit of a fraud isn't it?

I saw a mint, original, Renualt 5 GT Turbo over the weekend, not seen an unmodified one for ages.

I had it wrong - it was V8 FAN and it's on his early 90s Mazda 323!!

On Sunday I saw something very old and very rare.

A 1905 Darracq. It has a massive 25.4 litre V8, producing 200-250BHP. It was the only one made.

In 1908 it set the land speed record of 121.57mph, here on this beach, (Saltburn-by -the-Sea)

Here is a better (in focus) pic. As you can see there also was a 1911 Gold Model T Ford.

Saw my first Peugeot RCZ today, Black 60 reg with all black alloys, thought it was a TT at first. No camera with me though.

Looked alright for a Peugeot. *the shame*

Saw one of these again yesterday.

A Koenig KS8 (Tuned BMW 850), made in the days when Koenig did conversions instead of building their own. TBH I thought it was a bad (very) wide kit car job that had the cheek to put Koenig logos on it. A little investigation proved me wrong lol. Didnt like it at all. Waste of a good 8 series IMO.

It had obviously seen better days, the panels looked rough and the paint looked faded.

Its the third time Ive seen it so am hoping I can get my own pictures of it next time now its local.

How have I not found this thread until now!

First few are of a buggy built by an Australian fellow, who then decided to drive it round the world. He certainly managed to get it to the Outer Hebrides of Scotland anyway, because I helped service it Big truck engine of some description and very cleverly engineered if I remember rightly.

The rest are from a holiday to California, including a Barrett-Jackson auction in Vegas Plenty more where this came from as well.
