Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
E9, lovely. I drove one last year and thought it was great, an option for a slightly more practical (space?) and very stylish car than the 911

That’s how they left the factory…
Looks just right on those steelies. There was a similar one at Barrington on New Years Day.

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Lovely aren't they?
Always fancied one even over the early Elans being mid engined and all that dynamic.
Reputation for being very hot inside I think.
Door tops always were awkwardly curved, shame as the rest is perfect.

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
I’d forgotten about that! I, too, lusted after it! Sadly that registration number is on a Land Rover which hasn’t been taxed since 1993…Lightweight_911 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2024 5:21 pm .

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Talking of which, here it is, the ex-Janspeed, ex-Cars & Car Conversions racing Unipower GT, a bespoke race car as opposed to a modified road car. Was for sale last year for around £60k. What a pair the GKN Europa and this would make in your garage! Well, preferably my garage...

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Yes, what a real beauty.
The Unipower book is a good read, what a struggle, almost matches the TVR story for strife..

Had a quick look at the layout. Looks like a perfect candidate for electric AC.
