I have issues getting in and out of my wifes big Dodge Charger (sunroof cuts 2" of headroom out).
Let's See Your Miscellaneous Car Photos

Blue Shadow
Waiting for Vintage Gear from this century
Only the last 633 made had the 289. Most of the 7083 made were fitted with the 260. This per wiki. I knew both were used just didn’t know the specifics. But wiki has another production number. It says the Tiger II, the 289 designated car was only for US. More interesting facts on the wiki page.
A110...
Not too spacious indeed, heard one with an open exhaust blast by a couple of years ago (Rally in Germany)... Glorious!
There was one for sale locally in 2019, but I couldn't cough up the 90k asking price...
Could not resist taking a few photo's though.
These are so good.. In my Top 3 of contemporary Euro B road cars..
You'll see more than an handful on the road if you get near the Alps.
The Mark 1 and 1A models had the 260 V8 (about 6500 made) and the Mark 2 had the 289 with only around 600 built. Both engines have pretty low redlines (5000 for the 260, 5500 for the 289) and relatively low HP (164 HP and 200 HP), but VERY good torque for such a light car (258 ft-lb and 282 ft-lb) so they feel much stronger in real-life than the specs imply. HP is a computed figure off of torque multiplied by RPM -- so the low rev limit results in low HP.

My 1959 English Ford Escort sandwiched in between two more easily identified British Cars back in the year 2000.

Photographed this beauty for a friend this morning.
Love me some chrome headlight rings, 911 or 912, matters not, although a mechanical “S” like my friend’s* would be way close to the top of my list.
* Last year of MFI - he bought it from the GM of Vasek-Pollack in ‘78, it was his personal car; black, sunroof, factory lowered, Bilsteins, Recaros, ashtray delete, TOTL Blaupunk (Frankfurt?).
Nice 300... what year?

Just over 90k. I drive it at least a couple of times a week.
Saw a LOT of Lambo's, Ferrari's and more Porsches than I could count this past weekend in the Dolomites.
Only ONE Alpine (A110), was expecting more of those.
Also a group with a handful of KTM's, including a rare(?) coupé model:
The Dolomites are fantastic by the way:

Here's a super-clean Triumph Dolomite Sprint from 1978. My uncle used to race one of these at SVRA events, quite successfully.
