Okay you’re Jaguar and just had the
massive hypercar hit that was the XJ220 however the rest of your line up is
looking a little dated, so what do you do? Hell get styling house Italdesign to
come up with a saloon concept that blends the shapes of the XJ220 and adds in a
few more doors. The result I think you’ll agree is very striking, particularly
in the mundane jelly mould days of the early 90’s.

Cumberford Martinique
So another “modern” take on the 30’s style sports car, these are usually base on something else )like a beetle) and are just a crude body sat on awkward running gear to only give kind of look. This though is different, very different.

Norton Interpol 2
The name Norton
is held in high esteem in the bike world, with its road and race bikes of the
60’s and 70’s being highly valued, however in the mid 80’s and with another
buyout the brand took a short detour.

MG Express
Its amazing
what Rover/MG tried as the company fell further and further in its demise. But
he Express has to be a serious low point. Basically they took an MG ZR (Rover
25) removed the rear seats and windows and called it a van!!!!!

Jaguar XJ13
When most
people hear Jaguar, mid-engined and V12 in the same sentence they instantly
think oh what the XJ220, or rather what could have been the XJ220. However
Jaguar had its first crack of the mid-engined recipe back in 1966!!!!

American Auto Club North West Meet, Krispy Kreme’s, Manchester
Well with the UK show season pretty much at an end and
Sunday down to be dry and sunny (both in combination in the North of England in
October is a rare thing) I headed over to the American Auto Club North West’s
monthly meet at Krispy Kreme’s in Manchester with my daughter.

Random Picture: Running in
I love going to car shows, as you’ve seen on here, and seeing something that just takes you back to an earlier motoring time. At the recent Footman James Manchester Classic Car, I couldn’t help but be drawn to this “Running in” sticker, a staple part of buying a new car 30plus years ago to ensure your engine was bedded in correctly. It also highlighted to the neighbours that your car was brand new as well.
