Oddly enough my first thought was 'Renault 16' but I don't believe the 16 ever had horizontal slats (as seen reflected in the bumper?) outboard of the headlamp units. Philip.

It is an 2000 Ti and those were made between 66 and 68. It is a car a bit under the radar today but Hubert Hahne and Jacky Ickx won the 24hrs of Spa in 1966 and Hahne was the first touring car driver who made the Nürburgring Nordschleife in under 10 minutes and won the European Touring Car Championship in the same year. A decade after production has ended, they had modified used engine blocks to squeeze 800 hp out of 1500 cc which fired Nelson Piquet to win the F1 championship 1983. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like others I initially thought of the contemporary Hillman Hunter and Triumph Toledo, but the details did not quite match. Here is one seen near Edinburgh: Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted November 25, 2022 Share #18793 Posted November 25, 2022 My father had a BMW 2000Ti on order in early 1969 to replace his disappointing Renault 16TS, which he ended up loathing. Sadly he had a stroke and had to give up driving before delivery, so it was cancelled. For the last 7 years of his life, he had to put up with my mother's truly abysmal driving. When he stayed with my wife and I in Sussex in 1976, not long before he died, I remember the huge smile on his face, when I took him out for a ride in my 1972 Kremer Porsche 2.6L 911 (the forerunner to the 2.7RS), which was a pretty electrifying if rather dangerous car, with terrifying lift off oversteer.

It was on the Porsche stand at the London motor show in 1972 as a 2.4 911S painted in a special electric metallic green. It was bought off the stand by a notorious British peer, well known in the red top papers, for drug use and other odd activities. I bought it from a well known Porsche dealer in early 1976, warranted no accidents or damage but immediately had all sorts of problems with the engine misfiring, burning plugs and it did not steer or brake straight. I got the number of the peer, phoned and asked him if he had any similar problems with it. His response was: "No my dear chap, it was absolutely perfect until I rolled it into a ditch and wrote it off". Cue visit to dealer with solicitor in tow. They agreed a total front end rebuild and in compensation for their dishonesty, agreed to replace the 2.4 engine which turned out to have a cracked crankcase, distorted heads and inlet manifold fissures, with a near new Kramer 2.6 engine, from one of their rally cars. It really should have got the wide track rear suspension as well, as the engine was too powerful (around 230 BHP) for the handling and it was very tail happy. I sold it 18 months later, as the poorly repaired bodywork damage was starting to rust, to an Australian dentist, warning him clearly about its considerable appetite for Shell Rotella 40 oil (about 3 to 400 miles/litre) and to check the oil level in the dry sump tank every fill up with petrol. My current 1977 911 RSR uses almost as much of the modern 0W40 synthetic. The idiot ran it out of oil and ruined it a couple of months later. He actually had the nerve to come and ask for his money back - he didn't get it Wilson 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a clue is needed on my cropped picture: It still could have a go at the journey back to Bavaria ; it was competing in a hill climb, but probably came last. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted November 27, 2022 Share #18800 Posted November 27, 2022 I´d like to share some videos about the Goggomobil. This one (unfortunately in German language) was from 1983 and shows how people kept them alive. That time many old men only had their pre-war class IV driving licences from their smaller motobikes which also allowed driving a 250cc Goggo. If you do some "fast-forward" and have a look into different scenes it might also be interesting. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
