hektor Posted October 20, 2017 Share #10323 Posted October 20, 2017 I know the whole Leica world is waiting for it. The photo is of the bonnet (engine cover) of a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. Amazing end to such a fabulous car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham (G4FUJ) Posted October 25, 2017 Share #10328 Posted October 25, 2017 What a great view! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hektor Posted October 25, 2017 Share #10329 Posted October 25, 2017 Well done Mr Laidlaw. Alfa Romeo 8c 2300. Driven by Louis Chiron in the 1933 "24 Heures du Mans" dnf. Hence the colour. The car is now in the Louwman Museum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hektor Posted October 25, 2017 Share #10330 Posted October 25, 2017 What a great view! Don't tell Oskar, but it was taken with a Minolta CLE with Summicron-C 1:2/40. I shot a number of rolls from the car when not driving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted October 25, 2017 Share #10331 Posted October 25, 2017 I have also spent many hours sitting in the navigator's seat in a 8C-2600 1935 Zagato bodied Le Mans team car, so recognised the view immediately. Best of all pre-war cars to drive. The only poor bit of design is the original gearchange, where the gears are so far apart, they are in different zip codes (think of an early VW beetle but worse). There is a now non-synchro dog clutch gearbox in this car, out of a later Alfa GP car, on which you can change gears as fast as you can move your hand and the gear lever only moves by a couple of inches. Just the gearbox alteration took over 2 seconds off our lap time round Dijon. Will look for something new this afternoon. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

John Z. Goriup Posted October 25, 2017 Share #10336 Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Looks like a Ferrari 330 GTC Coupe or GTS Spyder, either one since the portion of the car shown was identical among all - also, there was a series of about 100 365 GTC / GTS models produced on the 330 chassis but with a larger engine, indistinguishable from a 'normal' 330 on the outside except for a pair of small black vents in the rear of the bonnet.

stuny Posted October 26, 2017 Share #10337 Posted October 26, 2017 John - You really must learn to be observant and thorough . BTW: I do envy your access to automobile exotica and your lovely photography of the cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted October 26, 2017 Share #10338 Posted October 26, 2017 John, 100% correct. 330GTS, with Pininfarina bodywork. I actually prefer these to the far more expensive 275 GTB NART Spyder cars. The 4 litre engine is much torquier and the handling more balanced. The only downside is the low geared and slightly vague recirculating ball steering but there is now a dutch company who make a powered rack and pinion conversion for the 330. Many years ago I had a 365 GTC Coupé which was another nice car, this time with power steering, albeit still recirculating ball. Your turn. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

John Z. Goriup Posted October 27, 2017 Share #10339 Posted October 27, 2017 Thank you, Wilson. As John Cleese was fond of saying - " and now for something completly different".............an American car for a change. The first photo contains a major clue in that the 'panoramic' windshield offers a strong hint of the time period in which this car was built. I will further mention that it's not an attempt to trick you with an obscure one-off 'dream car', rather, it's one of the approximately 125 of this limited-production design which were produced for one of the then major US carmakers.

stuny Posted October 27, 2017 Share #10340 Posted October 27, 2017 I'm thinking early to mid '50s, perhaps Packard Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
