Did You See Anything Good Today? 'Event and Showroom Edition'

[homeforsummer]

Today the centre of Coventry was filled with interesting cars. Here are just a few (apologies for Instagram - that's just how I roll...)

Beetle and a Triumph Herald

Jag MkII. On D-Type wheels. My new favourite thing

Ratty Bug

Lightning GT. 400hp of electric goodness

MGB GT with a tasty set of flared arches

My tech school held a car show today, I was surprised how little rice/slammed cars were there. Was better than I had expected.

2.5 RS STI conversion, wish I got a pic of the interior. Was absolutely spotless.

Nice 240SX with an RB20 swap

Willys Jeepster

Shelby GT500

C1 Vette

El Camino

Very clean 35th anniversary edition Camaro

Absolutely pristine Trans Am

And an Impala

 

[homeforsummer]

@homeforsummer

Where in God's name were those?

I actually followed that white DS for the last 15 miles into Coventry but assumed it wasn't in the show as I couldn't find it! Gutted I seem to have missed an entire French cars exhibit...

 

[Clark]

It want a French car exhibit. Peugeot, Citroen and Skoda had a display between the university and the Cathedral. Not huge, maybe 10 cars or so.

The Pug cabriolet (504?) was beautiful.

From Burgers and BMWs today:

There were a lot of BMWs there today, maybe around 200 or so? Of all the non-classic cars (ie. cars from mid-90s and on), half of them were some sort of M car. It's actually kinda crazy how much there were there.

Z8 and M Coupe


M3 and M6


My M5 with another M5 and a M3


A Pro3 E30 next to another clean E30, a M3, a M Coupe and 2 Z3 Coupes


Two M3s


Another M3


Let's see... 4 M3s over 3 generations


Super clean 2002


A M3, 2 M Coupes, another M6 and several 3.0CS/3.0CSi


1M and M3 (ok, the M3s are starting to get boring...)


M Coupe and M3 (another M3, yawn)


Roundtail 2002!


Super clean 2002


Technoviolet M3


Couple more M5s

So does Marshall Goldman own all those?

I've never been a fan of C5/C6 Corvettes with retro bodies. They always lon strange...

 

[Doog]

Dropped the pickup off at a small car show before going to the airport to leave Syracuse. Only had about fifteen minutes to take pictures, but there weren't too many cars to see.

I love these things, even with that odd (for a car aimed at the Mercedes SL) FWD configuration. I've never seen an Allante in this color, and it is just fantastic. My pick would be a '93 (because 300 horses from the Northstar that was only available for that final year) in this color, if it was still available. If not, I've got a hankering for a dark green example of this odd beast.

Spotted this in the service area of a nearby BMW showroom.
