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

[Vantage7825]

I admit it was nice but didn't really like the blue one ahead of it.

That Bricklin XD

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Ya that one is always there I saw my 2nd one when I was in Quebec it was green.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Thank you for not posting pictures of the typical Camaro/Mustang/Corvettes that always come to car shows. 👍

+1, great post! half a dozen cars in there I'd love to get ID's of...

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Thats it for car shows until I might get to go to the Detroit Auto Show in January but its not official that I'm gonna go depends if we get bad weather during that time the show is open.

 

[jeffgoddin]

yummy!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

The vette swapped Miata was one of my favorites along with the Morgan 3 wheeler.

heehee, I was being silly since I'm a proud Z31 owner. Lots of great stuff in there from you, too.

But just to make you jelly, since the 3-wheeler was one of your favorite spots, here's my WILD spot of an ORIGINAL Morgan 3-wheeler! Probably my personal favorite spot (though that's hard to say, of course...)

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Meh I'm not really jelly I'll probably see one eventually. If you didn't see it I saw that 32 ford again but it was having engine problems I think after I took the pic the owners started to push it up the driveway as I passed it.

 

[jeffgoddin]

I hope you do! Maybe you'll see one of these, too (the other contender for my top spot.. or the 300SL I've seen a few times...)

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

None of those yet unless I go to a mueseum. 3,406 pics now on my Ipod touch after going to those shows plus the other car pics I have on it.

Photos from Cars and Coffee yesterday. Please excsue teh awful photo quality, I was enjoying the cars mroe than paying attention to my photos.

Beautiful and very blue Murcielago

F40! The man you see in front of it is the owner. He also owns a 330GT chassis with a GTO body on it.

You can see a Ford GT next to it.

DB7 and R8 V8

Lovely 1988 Testarossa

Bentley Continetnal Supersports. This one was stunninlgy beautiful.

Isetta!

Shelby GT500KR

Ferrari F430, one of three there.

Assorted exotics. From left: F430, 360, GranTurismo MC Stradale, R8 V10, 458, 575

Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale. Such a beautiful car in person.

Porsches

Audi R8 V10 Spider. Very nice car in a very nice colour combinations, plus a manual gearbox.

Ferrari 458. For some wierd reason, I only take detail shots of this car. I guess the little flourishes draw me in mroe than the overall design.

Ferrari 550 or 575, I can never tell the difference. Can someone help me?

Two first-gen Vipers

So, how many gazillion horsepower was this making?

@xXKingJoshXx I incorrectly wrote Miller-Durant? It should be Milton-Durant Race Car. Sorry about that.👎

In the link it's ID'ed as a Milton-Durant.👍

 

[Zyla]

Ferrari 550 or 575, I can never tell the difference. Can someone help me?

That's a 550.

 

[Vantage7825]

The differences are: The 575M has badging that says 575M on the back spoiler lip, the 550 doesn't. The hood scoop on the 575M is bigger, the headlights are different, and they're no lights on the inside of the radiator inlet on the front. If you still can't tell, then look inside. The 550 only came with a 6-speed manual. The 575M had a choice of an "F1" paddle gearbox.

There's an Evora in the reflection of the Elan! lol

 

[jeffgoddin]

Hey, I've seen like 12 Evoras, 20 Elises, 8 Europas, 15 Esprits, at least, mostly at a great British car show I went to last year. This is the first Elan I've seen, only one of 6 in this color in the US, and the very last Elan sold in the US. So yeah, Isuzu engined Elan kills an Evora for me in terms of spotting. Performance? Sure, Elan sucks. Miata/MX-5 killed it. But still more interesting than the rest of the Lotus stuff there (though it was great to see the original Lotus 7, too, except I've seen several Caterham's so it wasn't that special really.)

I agree, however there's two of these Elans that live near me. One is red and one is yellow. They are just funny to me because its such a great body that was wasted with that stupid crap engine...

Since I assume not many people know what they're looking at in here, I'll explain. Dinalpins are made-in-Mexico Alpines. Dina de Mexico -hence the name Dinalpin- got the license to build the sporty cars in here when mexican laws mandated that 80% of every car sold in Mexico had to be made in the country.

They are extremely rare even here, with less than 600 made in all body styles, I think that there's less than 100 roadsters accounted for, so that car is really really rare. It must be quite invaluable in Europe, I don't even want to imagine the kind of coin they paid to get it over there. Very cool picture.
