Imports

That Alpine is A-1(10).

I'm not a big YouTuber, apart from trying to find what I'm currently listening to--or something I've got in my head--to post in the GTP Music forum, and indeed I was about to do just that, but I got a bug up my butt to see if there was any content related to the Unipower GT. Well, I found a couple nifty videos:





I'm sure what follows the Unipower in the second clip will appeal to a number of viewers here, as well.

I've seen this car around the net before but never knew about all the work that the owner has put in to it. Very impressive build.

 

[CyborgGT]

Found in my hunt for a nice red...

 

[CyborgGT]

Hmm, a F&F-era bumper that I actually like. Makes the Miata look quite FD-ish.

And an F40 LM on air suspension...

F40 LM on air suspension...

I love it. Scrolling down I feared it was gonna be slammed to hell and back. It looks good. Please tell me it's a competition type air bag. As in fully adjustable meant for circuits and streets not the lazy air out system.

All I know is that the brand is Roberuta, as on the banners in the photos. Although, Googling the name, it might just be a front-end lifter kit, like what comes factory on some supercars these days to clear speed bumps and driveway entries. Yet the car looks lower all around...

Yep magnetic lifter kit.

A white Liberty Walk F40 with the same system pops up in the search results. That thing looks horrendous.

Turbine from a plane powers the electric motor, electric motor powers the car. The back-of-an-envelope maths in the Facebook comments - so take that for whatever you think it's worth - reckon the range would be similar to a regular car, but with all the instant torque of an electric motor. I like it, but then I like unusual engine swaps. Different is interesting.

...Liberty Walk...horrendous.

...fire...hot.

Unipower GT

Went to that show and took a snap of this:

Few other tiny sports cars there too.

The last is another Mini-based car, the Midas Gold. Gordon Murray was a fan and had a hand in developing later iterations of it. I went through a kit-car phase in my teens (they were apparently a lot cheaper to insure than conventional cars due to some loophole or other, and a way of getting a much more interesting car than the usual first-car fare) and one of these was near the top of the list. Reminds me of a more modern Mini Marcos.

That's pretty much what Jaguar proposed for the stillborn C-X75 concept.

I think it looks fine. There’s barely anything done to the car to begin with.

This guy bought it, converted it back to a normal F40 and painted it blue.

I like it in blue actually.




Was just browsing YouTube and this video popped up. Thought I'd look at it and surprise, surprise, it was the white Liberty Walk LM F40.

I actually love this car

Not a big fan of the aesthetics of time attack cars, but quite taken by by this MX-5.

That guy in the checked shirt looks familiar.

The NB has been really growing on me recently.

Same here. I've been considering buying one instead of an NA recently. NBs are a lot easier to get a hold of these days, anyway.

I had a look at prices earlier. Much wider spectrum for a much lower price than NAs now. £3k gets a "nice" NA these days, but gets a pretty much perfect NB. If I'd not sunk so much money into mine recently I'd be tempted to chop it for a 10th Anniversary or something.

A couple of OSCAs:

1952 OSCA MT4 Berlinetta Vignale #1120

1961 OSCA 1600 GT Touring

The NB has been really growing on me recently.

So maybe I'm not so weird for always having preferred the look of the NB to the NA? I'd love to import a coupe.

There was also a coupe concept version of the NA and NC generation.
