That's an XK120. I had the chance to drive one quite a long time ago, after I fixed the brakes in my capacity as a mechanic at the shop it came into. Surprisingly quick! HEAVY steering and brakes.

obPic: after tiring of ripping oil sumps to pieces I finally put a dry sump system on the Caterham.

EDIT: Apologies if the images look huge -- they're not! Something this site is doing.

Yeah, I agree, but the more I look at it, the more I like it .
The rear bumper was probably designed like that to fit the bumper ducts to cool the turbochargers.

That`s the road version they also made a track "focused" version of the DSL.

It's a knockoff of the Porsche 935 race car tail.

"Case in point: A 1951 VW Transporter 23-Window Samba, which cost about $2200 when new ($22K today), has an average #1-condition (Concours) value of… wait for it… $198,000. One in #2 (Excellent) condition is worth $111,000, one in #3 (Good) condition is valued at $60,600, and one in #4 (Fair) is $39,000. Not bad for a vehicle known as a hippie van."

That red and black paint scheme in your link is something how my first car, a 1968 VW Bug looked. No photos but it looked a lot like this (from the web).

BTW, that bus in your link looks very cool.
