The Daimler Conquest as a works' rally car, I kid you not. Cyril Corbishley (a sensible name for any member of the Drones' Club) brought this heap home in 64th place on the 1954 Alpine Rally.

Only 37 finished...so this car was retired...where is unrecorded.

Dunno, Kevan. Pic and caption nicked from an old comic. Must have been a misprint or typo. Thanks for pointing it out.

First, the nose job they did on the long tail periscopo without the periscopo.

Another strange Alfa, still retained it's periscopo.

A couple of very pretty Abarths:

1962 1000 sport 131-MC Spyder Turbolare ....looks a lot like a Lotus 23:

Too many nice looking cars, time to return to more mundane ones.
I guess this is a Fiat.

What a lovely looking car . Would be great to see that and the Lotus 30 go head to head! I wonder who would come out on top.

John Sabel's Porsche Special is similar in concept to a contemporary - the DKW-Porsche. I'll try and post a pic later.

Mark, that Porsche thing is very nice.

I believe this is called a Lagonda, somewhere in a box, I have a poorly converted body for one.

The 1963 DKW-Porsche. How much nicer it would look without its modern roll hoop.

 

[Trisha]

I'm grateful that I know the sq rt of bu**er all about this DKW prototype. I'm equally grateful that the picture is wildly out of focus.

The Costin-DKW. Whacky.

Everyone knows Panhard, but this pic of the 748cc Metropole at Le Mans, 1958, is here simply because it should be. Another lovely streamliner and typically Panhard.

An early post War Audi with a half-hearted attempt at streamlining.

The Abarth 1000SP has a file available.

Or two files, I suppose.

 

[Mark50]

Now they look nice.......are they your prints?
Mark

 

[chappyman66]

Thank you @Mark50 , yes they are my prints.

 

[merkit the grof]

Just a couple of random pictures.

The last bunch were clearly sold as white kits.
