Farmer matt Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 A pale blue 4-door saloon about six cars in front had me puzzled for a couple of miles in one of those odd queues of slow moving traffic that seem to have no cause. Luckily it turned off, so I could see as I passed it was an L- prefix Toyota Corolla. Matt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyas Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) Last weekend I (begrudgingly) head back to Jakarta. I kinda don't want to because my salary has not been paid for 4 months but moral obligation forced me to do so. Tried the Kia Stinger GT-Line for the first time, this is the only Stinger in Indonesia. Blows my mind how good this car actually is, I am disappointed people would still prefer expensive BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe over this, when the quality of Stinger is decidedly better than many of modern BMWs and the standard equipment level exceeds any 4-series bar the M4. A Grigio Telesto Huracan STO. That's one way to make grey look shouty and loud. One of my favourite Ferrari of all time: 458 Speciale, here finished in Giallo Modena. That stripe was supposed to be Blu NART on white, but inexplicably the current owner covered it in red. Sunday, and wouldn't you know, another 458 Speciale. I think I have spent my entire year stock of luck for this. This is rather special. One of only 2 964 Carrera RS 3.6 in Indonesia, but this is THE spec that I always wanted. Rubystone Red, bucket seats and silver-painted magnesium alloys. An ex-Hongkong car. Speaking of holy grail, this one takes the cake. Only 50 Murcielago LP650-4 Roadsters were ever made, all finished in Grigio Telesto with Arancio Atlas accent. This was not my first time seeing this Murc, but this was my first time seeing it in the wild. Edited March 27 by Tyas typo 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neddy Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Utterly gorgeous T70s! Were they both the real thing or was one a Gardner Douglas? Fabulous machines either way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know there aren't any Gardner Douglas T70s racing. The red car was John Surtees' original car and had various parts of the chassis autographed by John, Jackie Stewart and Tony Sinclair. I've seen the blue car many times and it's original too (or as far as can be). I don't think the T70 is subject to replication in historics in the same way as the GT40 (Gelscoe) is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klubman01 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Love the Lola T70s. The first race meeting I ever attended was the Guards Trophy on August Bank Holiday in 1965. John Surtees won in his T70. Trevor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Bizza badged as an Iso A3/C. IIRC they were making a short run of continuation cars which if so could be badged as all sorts of Iso/Bizzarini permutations. But yes, of all the cars there, that's the one I'd like to take home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to figure it out but then the whole Bizzarrini/Iso thing has long confused the heck out of me. Is that an E-type behind it?

Sabrejet Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Yes Steve: a lightweight-spec E-type. It had a bit of a moment at the first corner early on then loads of grass removal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is a continuation of the Bizzarrini 5300 GT called the 5300 GT Corsa Revival. Built in Britain by Ray Mallock, Ltd. (same people responsible for the Chevrolet Lacetti and Cruze WTCC as well as Nissan Juke R and Ferrari 550-based RML Short Wheelbase, a tribute to Ferrari 250 GT SWB), which makes my non-existent inner British kind of proud. GBP1.65million though. I would need to commit fraud and crime against humanity to even be able to pay a deposit for one... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the SWB homage up-close and didn't like it; it was very well made but too much of a pastiche for me. But for those of us of a certain age, Ray Mallock will always be associated with those wonderful Aston Nimrods and the Ecosse C2 cars "Reggie" and "Henry". He'd also have been responsible for the 1990 Aston "AMR-2", which supposedly instead inspired that year's Nissan Group C car. Ray was a very active racer at one point and drove the awesome Aston AMR-1 in 1989. More recently I've seen him at Revival (in father Arthur's U2) so he obviously keeps busy! In fact I'd say he's a bit of an unsung hero, being a very competent designer as well as driver. And RML cars have not only competed in Groups C1 and C2, but also in BTCC, WTCC and even the heady heights of hill climbing. Quite a legacy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think GTO Engineering did a better job with their upcoming 'Squalo'. I also remember the days when RML ran at Le Mans with that MG EX257 and later on an MG EX265-branded Lola B08/80 LMP2. Looks rather smashing with that white/Union Jack livery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the Datapost Ecosse C2s ("Pat" and "Henry") take first and second respectively in C2 at Brands Hatch in1987. Ray was driving the class winner.

keefr22 Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 One I forgot from earlier this week, a black hot rod type thing in front of me in a traffic jam - number plate said '34 Ford', so I assume that's what it was...!! TBH I'm surprised it hadn't been pulled by plod as the 10 inch or so wide rear tyres had absolutely no mudguards or whatever covering them....!!

klubman01 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Driving back home from Kent today there were plenty of interesting classics out in the nice weather. In no particular order (and, sadly, no images) a beige/brown Mk10 Jaguar, an orange/red MGB GT (wires, N reg) a black Pontiac Firebird, two Caterham 7s (one green, one yellow) and a black A-H 3000. Plus plenty of mobile chicanes/caravans. Trevor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
