That Gordon Keeble is a thing of beauty. The Camargue looks dated, in my view.
That Karmann is a Type 4 Karman Ghia and is a rare thing. Based on a 411 chassis and running gear.The more rounded ones are Type 1 - based on Beetle floorpans and running gear.
Bit of lovely Volvo nostalgia amongst the news that Volvo will no longer sell estates or saloons in the UK.
I loved my 240 estate, petrol. Built like a tank and complete with a 6ft plus flat bed in the back. Had a tailgating yoof rear end me at 25 in the middle of bradford on avon once. Took the combined effort of an AA recovery’s van winch pulling his car one way and me driving forward to yank his car off my tow hitch, leaving his front slam panel on the hitch and his engine fluids on the road. Not even a ripple on the Volvo’s chassis. I nearly felt sorry for the youngster until he blurted out it was his third crash in a year and he didn’t want to claim on the insurance. I drove off before he changed his mind, leaving the AA fella to explain it wouldn’t buff out.
Chapeau to the king (or queen) who was driving one of these around our town the other day. Doubtless objectively worse than any equivalent Ferrari/Porsche but looked phenomenal.
Almost applauded.
That is drop dead 
Absolutely destroying my spotter’s guide at the minute with the LC500 and now this
That is immense.
What’s next, an Alfa sports for the win.
2 x “suicide” doors short of perfection 
Fnnnngggggg!
1960 Renault Caravelle . . .
That’s a pretty thing
Design work was done by Carrozzeria Ghia. Renault hoped to have a bit of the success Volkswagen was enjoying in the US in the late 50s early 60s.
Another sexy Ghia design . . .
1967 Ghia 450SS
The car was one of several collaborations between Ghia and Chrysler. The mechanics were from the Chrysler parts bin; a 235hp 273ci engine coupled with a 4 speed manual or 3 speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission, heavy duty Rallye torsion bar suspension, power steering and brakes. The ladder frame and hand hammered body panels were built by Ghia.
The car was sold by the American Ghia Company through one dealership in Beverly Hills
Selling for over $11,000, it was in Maserati and Ferrari territory, and only between 54 to 57 were produced
Within a few years, Ghia was bought by Ford.
Appears Toyota used the front end design as inspiraton for the Mk1 Celica
Just gonna post the same thing! Uncanny resemblance would be generous!
