McLaren something...

Ferrari 458 or 488... can't tell them apart anymore...

Yaz · Sep 13, 2020

That's a McLaren 600 LT and the other is a Ferrari 458 Speciale. The 488 has a big intake on the hips.

Speaking of G63's, they're everywhere in NYC:

How is Corolla still rocking a 90's license plate though? @sako97

For me, the series I Audi A/S/RS7 remains one of the most visually attractive sedoupes ever.

It's definitely up there. There are those who poo-poo'ed the rear end, but I like how squat it looks...it reminds me of fastbacks from the 1970's.

Two Mercedes-Benz 560SEC Coupes (C126)

Alfa Romeo 75

Oh dear...

Triumph TR3

Citroen 2CV Charleston which clearly received an LS-swap - how else do you explain the towing capability?

Pristine Fiat 128 - one of the most influential and important cars ever, for Fiat and the rest of the industry.

Deleted member 1071 · Sep 18, 2020

The FIAT 128 was but one example of how far more technically advanced mass-volume vehicles from Italian, French and British manufacturers were in comparison to relative German/U.S.-German products of the era. The VW 1200-1500 "Käfer", Opel Kadett and Ford Escort were primitive appliances when matched against the FIAT 128, Simca 1100 and the BMC 1100/1300s'.

cawimmer430 · Sep 20, 2020

Agreed, Jimmy. The Fiat 128 was an important and innovative vehicle. The innovation and contribution of Italian and French car brands is often forgotten and underrated.

Weird-looking C3 Corvette and a 1965 Jaguar D-Type.

Deleted member 1071 · Sep 20, 2020

It's amazing just how good that D-Type still looks. Over 65 years old. It served as the template for the E-Type (XK-E), which was introduced some 7 years following the presentation of the D-Type.

It's got the Evo (2) wedge front splitter, but it also has fog lamps of the standard M3 and the red detailing with I think is only unique to the Sport Evo, which I *think* would be a blacker shade of black, so whatever it is, I'm not sure it's original.

Looks very tidy though. A rare spot these days!

Most of the normal M3s are restomoded to M3 Evos. It's very popular, although the car is no more in its original looks.

Borgward Isabella -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borgward_Isabella

Deleted member 1071 · Sep 23, 2020

Most associate Borgward with the popular Isabella model line. But it was the Hansa 1500 and Hansa 2400 that were the most remarkable automobiles. During their era (early through late 1950s'), they were arguably the most technologically advanced German cars and they actually left the M-Bs', BMWs' and Opels of the day appearing archaic.

Classic Mercedes-Benz sightings on a rainy day in Mühldorf am Inn - a 190SL love that rather "dull" color and a gorgeous 280SE Automatic Coupe whose olive green metallic color I just adore!
