A very quick snap of a 50’s Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine I just saw. Nearly missed it, as you can tell 😁.

So, this Saturday I was at an Exotic Car Club for their car show & indoors they had some really nice examples of vintage Mercedes, Triumph, Lancia, Alfa Romeo.
But, for me, this one was really the best

this one was the most "fun" car - the BMW Isetta
When I was a student a guy in class had one of these. Getting four late-teen boys into it was an exercise in sardine canning. And although non of us were in any way overweight we had more than doubled the total mass that the teeny-weeny engine had to move. Another guy had an MG MGA Coupe. Getting three into it was also a sardine can exercise, but it still had some performance (FSVO some). My first 4-wheeler, a Mini van, could haul five passengers and a small motorbike together. Albeit not quickly....

...... and the rear doors had to be open to obtain legroom outside the actual vehicle 😲

How did we survive to reach old age???

It’s coming together. If you look closely, you’ll see a headliner finally! Full carpet kit is in. Just waiting on door panels and window stuffs



Also went to go check out a buddies new to him (for the second time) RS America. For a higher mileage example, it is pristine. The blue C2 in front...not so much lol.

Yeah that's pretty great. I love the F40 hood on the wall. Nice piece of art!

The VW looks cherry! Have not seen a estate in many years. Congratulations!

Seen today: late 1920s early 1930s open tourer with a boat-tail body. The front wasn't in sight for long enough to identify it but it may been a Talbot.

Hah! If only! Looks decent in pictures and from about 5 feet away but there is definitely some suspect paint and body work that will eventually need to be addressed.
For now I'm just enjoying it mostly as-is since it is very mechanically sound.
But thank you!

Savile Row in London was given over to classic cars today and yesterday. This was my favourite.

Don’t see many Iso Grifo’s let alone an actual Bizzarrini. Although if that is the car I think it is, it’s a stunning recreation. 😀
