Saw a mint 3.0CSi pull up next to me at a petrol station on Friday. :heart_eyes:

I drove away from my wedding reception in a borrowed & fully ‘kippered’* SWB G Wagen just like that one. As you say horrific to drive. Had to take it over to Paderborn one time, again thoroughly unsuited to Autobahn or motorway driving and as a 3L diesel, guzzling like there was no tomorrow. It was good in snow but living in Brighton there was rarely any need for that attribute.

  • stank for ages afterwards. Glad it wasn’t mine.

When BMW bought Glas (Goggomobil) in the late 60’s Glas’s design stylist tried to get BMW to accept his designs. This was the last. BMW 528 GT Coupe.

If the detailing around the middle and back side windows was sorted and the massive gap under the wheel arches removed, it wouldn’t be too bad. :thinking:

The 60s reasons, man :v:

They kept the fugly file for future inspiration

Now here’s how you improve on Jaguar styling, a real touch of class :weary:

Somebody has been watching too many US car customising shows, it’s horrible,

Horrible Bob? Thanks for pointing that out :rofl:

I totally understand the whole Custom Car thing. I used to be involved with a club in Adelaide.
But one rule always applies; never, ever, EVER try to make your car look like another manufacturer’s car.
A Jag made to look like a 40s Ford is just Rong !

That is fabulous - and huge - I looked at a few other pics of this car and the top of the screen is something like 5’6" above the ground! The height of pre-war glamour, long with the 8C-2900 Alfas

Wouldn’t you just love to turn up for your driving test in that. Or your speed awareness course.

Or your French speeding trial…

I don’t think a trial is needed.

@coco has already proven that he’s pretty good at it.

22 feet long apparently. 7 litre engine. Hard not to find yourself parking like a cunt though.
