Title: Something for Lagondanet
Post by: tunnie on 05 December 2016, 11:35:59
Spotted this near work, a classic car place has opened near us. Packed full of Classic Ferrari's, Jags, Lambo's, American cars, all sorts. Other day spotted a mint WW2 Jeep thing, looked like it came out of the factory! But one evening on one of my many walks between our sites, came across this American spec Wedge? .

I saw one of them parked up recently ... can't remember now where we were ..... might have been Cromer/Norfolk way. Not seen one for 30 years or more

This is the company, they often have the door open to the warehouse. 8)  I'd be like a kid in a sweets shop, so going here if I win the lottery.

Saw that parked outside too, each time I see it I think of Timothy Dalton and him firing rockets out of the fog flights.  ;D

I still say the 'wedge' can be filed under "Dear god, what were they thinking?".  Designed after one too many, I think!

I'll take the Buick Riviera, or maybe the Firebird, or the Renault 5 Turbo2, or the Countach..

Be the Ferrari 275 GTS Convertible and the 365 Convertible as both are achingly beautiful 8)

And the current Camaro to release the inner Hammond :D

It's just so hard to choose ;D Probably the Buick Riviera, actually - it's unusual, a land yacht, but just so very cool.

The Firebird I have a massive soft spot for and I love the Renault 5 because of it's history (it's also quite, quite bonkers).  The Countach was my 'bedroom wall car' as a kid.

What I really want, and is almost in the bounds of realistic, is this: http://www.retroclassiccar.com/1948-ford-f-1-stepside-pickup-p88

Needs a Hellcat type zorst, I see that one moving around fair bit. Sure they use it as a 'company hack' - Sounds rather silent  :(

With two V12 Ferrari to listen to, the Camaro might as well be electric ;)

Thank you gentlemen for posting.
Yes, I know about both of these cars (It's a small world)
The one @ DD Classics came from a Danish collection
The one in Cromer has been there for years, parked outside! I have passed it many times and hate to think what all that salty air has done to it.
