That’s a remarkably rare Lamborghini, I wonder if they’ll ever get back into that market segment again in the future

Lamborghini and a front engined grand tourer sportscar? Never ever, I assume. I tend to ignore the Audi, äh, Urus SUV 😉

Saved you some more money.

Found this from 2016. 67 Renault Caravelle. Another fun car. Very unusual in the States. Had 3 of them at one point. Convertible with a removable hardtop. Can't remember exactly but about 95 hp. Very narrow footwell, kindof like a Ghia. A friend and I pulled the engine out once using a 2x4 and some rope. Easy to work on for a barely literate mechanic like myself but parts were tough to find.



I have had almost as many cars I shouldn't have sold as watches.

Found a different picture of the DOKA. Rated one ton capacity. Also about 95 hp but very strong torque. Put ceramic coated stainless steel headers on it and it got more torque and higher reving. Super tight turning radius. Cab overs are fun drivers.

Yeah Roos are dumber than dog shit…….. probably explains why some end up as dog shit via a can!.
Definitely no shortage of them as they’re prolific breeders to overcome their habit of finding a new way to die every day!
The end result probably improved to look of the Porsche, it’d be much worse if that loverly 105 series Alfa GTV copped it, those GTVs look perfect as they are and need no additional adornment
::stirthepot::😁

‘Ol mate in the Porsche shoulda fitted a nice 4 post roo bar to keep skippy outta his face.
Here is the old F250 with roo bar and taxidermied roo head mascot……the old truck was known as “The Roo Bar & Grill”

That set up would look particularly elegant on the Porsche!

It's Steve McQueen's. Touching it would be detrimental to your health.

I can imagine the sale:

"Why are the paint meter reading so high on the hood? Looks like a repaint?"

"Kangaroo jumped me."
