The DS is very cool, but you made the right decision to go with the Interceptor

At Shelsey Walsh on Saturday, for the 60th anniversary of the E-Type, a couple of pics of some gems. Note the chap driving the ex Ecurie Ecosse D-type has one eye taped up, and the lad driving the C-Type looked about 14!

Hooray for that!

He's probably got the reaction times that the car deserves, too.

Nash Metropolitan...
Craig

[Kevin Birch]

The Nash was built just down the road from me, the Austin works at Longbridge. basically an A40 with a plastic suit on. Also marketed as a Hudson metropolitan which had a small chrome grille ahead of a bonnet bulge. Princess Margaret and Steve Jobs had one. If I remember they had a crap turning circle for obvious reasons.

[Grant]

I bought my wife one of these in those colours but RHD, we still have it, they are so small they don't seem real and attract more attention than an Interceptor >>>

Hi Grant, Going to Shelsley Walshe? what day? may be able to catch up,

[Richie]

Forgot about this Citroën spotted westbound at good clip on the M4 a couple of weeks back...

Not plastic but just a normal steel body. I was inspecting one a couple of years ago but it was too far gone. Rust just about everywhere.

[Kevin Birch]

Dion, I sit corrected, don't see them too often and I've never seen a rusty one, so presumed they were fibreglass, especially with the door shape as it is, and the bumper strip all around the car. I was never comfortable with the shape, I understand what they were trying to do, but it is too small for the style, the Austin Atlantic doesn't sit right for me either, too short.
