MikeRL411 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 One of five VWs found at the factory in Germany at the end of WW2. Pictured in 1986 at Meadowbrook Concours in Rochester Michigan. While stationed at Yokota Air Base in Japan, one of my Senior Master Sergeants revealed that while stationed in Germany just after the end of WW2 he needed a car. He bought the serial number 400 of the post war assembly of the VW Beetle. He said it was a crappy assembly of left over parts, poorly fitted body and fender etc. assembly and had a really amateurish paint job. And he wished that he still had it! 1 Quote Link to comment
125 CSL Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Jaguar XKSS rare care only 16 made. The car is the Jaguar D-type race car, that went unsold. The company converted to road use and gave a new name. If you are interested. http://www.goodingco.com/vehicle/1957-jaguar-xkss/ 4 Quote Link to comment
125 CSL Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Aussie at work. New Toyota 86 with a Nissan heart. Remove the stock 4 banger and drop in a V6 out of a GT-R 2 Quote Link to comment
125 CSL Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 From Super GT, race series in Japan. Nissan GT-R "At 74.8 inches, that carbon fiber wing is set to keep some 650 horsepower on the track, all coming from the turbo since hybrids were outlawed for the 2017 season. Expect a lot more straight line speed, slower cornering, less grip in the rain and a whole lot of badass Godzilla action with at least four Nissan GT-Rs going against the best of Honda and Lexus." Going to have to see if I can find a few of these races on youtube. 2 Quote Link to comment

125 CSL Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Interesting little car, Toyota 2000GT. 351 made. Iconic from its role in James Bond chase in the movie You only live twice. 2.0-liter six-cylinder, a five-speed manual and a no compromise coupé body 1 Quote Link to comment
Cosmonaut Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Is this the car Yamaha designed? Quote Link to comment
125 CSL Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 From the write up, said it was kind of a knock off of the BMW 507. Did not say who actually did the design. Quote Link to comment

DaBlist Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I'm disappointed these cars didn't depreciate more. Would have loved to own one. 2 Quote Link to comment
