And the rear end of a Mercedes 170s and a side glimpse of a TVR chimaera

I was trying to figure out what the red car was as I just looked at the pictures and never noticed the text. Was thinking it's either a Lancia or a Datsun. It's the pick of them for me it's absolutely stunning. Not totally struck on the rear spoiler, but get that it's very a Japanese thing. Made some stunning cars Datsun and Toyota in the 70's. Was watching Car SOS the other day where they were restoring a Mk1 Celica, thought it was a gorgeous car. If I had the money would certainly have something like that as opposed to an old Ford, that's just me though. Never heard of the Samuri Sukati, very nice thanks.

One of only two ever made I believe.

Saw one of these on our club ride today. Unfortunately didn't have time to get a photo

When I was a teenager I worked on a farm for a few week - the farm belonged to my friend's brother-in-law and he had just got something like that
no idea of the exact make and model but he said it had the "biggest engine ever made by GM"

very smooth ride but it had the cornering and stopping characteristics of an ocean liner!!!

which was wonderful in the middle of an area filled with dirt/gravel roads!!
