    Cannot give this a like….feel for you. Is your car one of the ones prone to RMS failure?

    (oh and just to clarify….the red and black beast is not mine. There was a steady stream of visitors to the service bay and plenty of drool on the floor.)

    Today's stage of the Tour de France finished at what had been a motor racing circuit in France, so during an ad break I looked it up and found this lady with her Alfa-Romeo 8C 2300

    I had often thought Automotive Pulchritude might have been a more fitting title for this thread. But I’m glad the title has been changed. Thanks to whoever changed it.

    Any guesses as to the owner of this? Besides the wing and the lack of rear doors what else is non-standard for a 1967/68 848cc Mini Van?

    Nope, don't think they had British Motor Corporation Mini Vans at Chevrolet's ooops, sorry, Chaperral's HQ. Although after the May brothers in the 1950s, who were mostly ignored, he introduced the 1960s to wings.

    lol I was kidding, though that Mini certainly does look like something he might've got his hands on

    With a top speed of about 68 mph the regular Van (low compression engine) might not have taught anyone much about wings.

    On the Gripping Hand that's not a regular Mini Van. My first car, but after 3 years not exactly standard. OK 6 months....
