Classic Cars

I would Like the the Morris Traveller 

What do you think of this one Ted? It's a Kaiser Carabela, made in the country in the late 1950s. Only a few survive. It would be financially impossible to maintain it today anyway.

@louis That does look a beast, much desired on the day, is that the car you would have liked, ?

It was fine at one time, but not anymore. Like I said, it has a very thirsty engine, impossible to afford these days with gas prices. My wife uses the car every day to get to work. It's 70 kilometers round trip. Luckily, we have a Renault Kwid for that commute. 😉 

Daimler Double Six 1974 ...Tasty

From my birth year (1962) — Jaguar E-Type Series 1

Often called one of the most beautiful cars ever built, the E-Type showed up in the early ’60s and instantly reset the bar for sports cars — fast, elegant, and unmistakably British.

The Ford Popular always close to me, why... I passed my test in one

The Triumph Stag (1970–1977) is an iconic luxury convertable, featuring a 3.0-liter V8 engine, stylish Giovanni Michelotti design, and distinct B-pillar roll bar. While early

I (we) couldn't afford one of those so about the same time I bought one of these. 

Couldn't afford the TR-7. 

Gorgeous and great fun. What a piece of junk though.  It died from a blown head gasket.

Picture is the same car color. Probably the same oil leak too.

I never liked sports cars (to each their own, as they say). I'm more of a four-door, standard car. Perhaps it's because it's not so common here.

So pleasing to the eye, E-Type Jaguar, Beautiful Classic

I at to put this one in, The Isetta BMW amazing little car I know because I had one living in London at the time, went all over the West country in the UK

My Dad briefly had a Chevy Corvair, the car that made Ralph Nader famous.   We kids, got to ride in that minuscule back seat.  No belts, of course.  My dad had a white one, with the round hubcaps and white walls.

I had 2, one a convertible.  Driving a rear engine car is tricky in slippery conditions.  It's like a pendulum, the heavy end always wants to get where the light end is during motion.

@otosan Yeah but that flat 8 that were in some of them could flat get after it.  I have a friend that put one in a sand rail and between that motor and being maybe 4  inches off the ground you got a real sense for speed in that thing.

Those little Minis were absolute monsters in the mud back in the day. Hard to believe such a tiny car could tear through rally stages like that — pure 1960s racing magic. 🏁🚗💨

Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda — one of the absolute kings of the muscle-car era. With that shaker hood, a legendary 426 Hemi under the hood, and that wild high-impact yellow paint, it’s basically American horsepower and attitude distilled into one glorious machine. 🇺🇸🏁🚗
