Michael Hiles Posted June 21, 2015 Share #7561 Posted June 21, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) ...so in reality the £450 per annum I pay nowadays for my Porsche 911 Turbo, is a bargain Wilson Thanks Wilson. 450 quid! My two cars cost me $265 each or about 140 GBP. I'm getting off really easily. The mark doesn't matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Hi Michael Hiles, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
wlaidlaw Posted June 21, 2015 Share #7562 Posted June 21, 2015 Thanks Wilson. 450 quid! My two cars cost me $265 each or about 140 GBP. I'm getting off really easily. The mark doesn't matter. Michael, In the UK, you pay per carbon dioxides. If you have an electric (or hybrid, where the manufacturers have fudged the figures to produce a totally unrealistic CO₂ figure), you pay no annual car tax at all. For example if I had a Hybrid Porsche 918, capable of around 220 MPH, I would pay no tax. I even pay £74 per annum for my Morgan 3 wheeler, which although it lives in France, is registered in the UK. I took it down to my local French car registration office in Draguignan, they scratched their heads for a bit and eventually said "keep it registered in Britain, as we don't have a clue what it should be".

dkCambridgeshire Posted June 22, 2015 Share #7563 Posted June 22, 2015 Wilson, I've searched in vain for a radiator resembling that in your photo. Could you please consider adding some more info. ? Thanks dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted June 22, 2015 Share #7564 Posted June 22, 2015 Dunk, French and drifted away to a rather sad end, using proprietary USA Continental engines. They finally died in 1948, where they only made 4 cars. In their time, they were probably the premier French luxury (not sporting) car.

dkCambridgeshire Posted June 22, 2015 Share #7565 Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) 1924 Delaunay-Belleville P4B … found one listed by Bonham's. dunk Edited June 22, 2015 by dkCambridgeshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted June 23, 2015 Share #7566 Posted June 23, 2015 Dunk, A Delaunay-Belleville but I think a 21HP/6 or maybe a later 21/75 of 1927-28. Sadly the person working on this car and many others in the collection became mentally unstable and threw all the paper work, chassis plates and history of this and all the other cars into a lake, so the precise provenance of this one has disappeared. It has a wonderful teak boat tail body but I suspect it is a bit of a pig to drive. The D-B's along with Isotta Fraschinis were notorious for their extremely heavy steering, which is why in period photographs you rarely see them being driven by anything other than a chauffeur. Your turn. I am off the forum for three weeks going to the Outer Banks, NC and only taking an iPad and M240 with me. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted June 23, 2015 Share #7569 Posted June 23, 2015 Perhaps one of the TVR models? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted June 23, 2015 Share #7570 Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Perhaps not Stuart … a little more up-market but maybe not as fast as the fastest TVR. Best wishes dunk Edited June 23, 2015 by dkCambridgeshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted June 24, 2015 Share #7573 Posted June 24, 2015 I was not going to say what it is as I am not going to have time to find another car to post. I know this car, as I think it was the one in their showroom or at least it is the same colour. At that price you might have thought they would have engineered proper windows. The previous owner of the company was one of the rudest people you would ever not want to meet. When we set up our own company we decided not to give the directors company cars but give a car allowance, with the suggestion that a classic car made more sense from the tax POV. I went to the showroom to discuss buying an older model of this make and talked to the owner. I was so put off by his appalling attitude that I left, having told him what I thought of his sales technique and bought a BMW M6 instead.

dkCambridgeshire Posted June 24, 2015 Share #7574 Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) When first announced, the company claimed the car was capable of 270mph but production versions' engines were electronically limited … thus some TVRs are faster.

wlaidlaw Posted June 24, 2015 Share #7576 Posted June 24, 2015 Dunk, I think it has around 600-700HP, so 270MPH was totally pie in the sky. You need well over 1000HP to go at that speed (Bugatti Veyron SS, Hennessey and Konigseggggggg). Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Wilson, I have no experience with the owners of said company, but I do like the looks of some of their older models. And in some ways (if I remember correctly), your alternative choice, a BMW, has a connection to the history of that company (I have no pics ready at present, so I won't spill the beans either) Rgds Christoph Edited June 24, 2015 by christoph_d Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
