Buggati Type 101
PS, I'm pulling for this thread for DQ's thread of the year!!!
Is this some sort of custom bodied one off 101? I thought the regular 101 looked completely different? Either way, cool find!
Wait, I found it! It's a one off Bugatti Type 101 Ghia Roadster I believe! Good find exigeracer. Quite the interesting car!

Subject: A beautiful 1936 Stainless Steel Ford Coupe
http://www.alleghenyludlum.com/pages/companyinfo/stainlesscars.asp
This is the 1936 Ford Coupe built for and owned by Allegheny Ludlum Steel. It was attending our open house and then was featured in a local parade with over 100 of our salaried, hourly and retired employees walking alongside. This is 1 of only 4 in existence and is the only one currently in running & in roadworthy condition. The car is in exceptional condition, with the interior and even the frame looking great. All 4 cars each had over 200,000 miles on them before they removed them from service. These cars were built for Allegheny as promotional and marketing projects. The top salesmen each year were given the honor of being able to drive them for one year. The v-8 engine (max 85 hp) ran like a sewing machine and was surprisingly smooth and quiet. I thought this was a much better looking automobile than the Ford Thunderbird that visited us last year. FYI, the car was insured (we were told) for the trip to Louisville via covered trailer for 1.5 million dollars. We were also told that the dies were ruined by stamping the stainless car parts, making these the last of these cars ever produced.

"The extremely rare SL73 AMG was sold through AMG in 1995, and at 525 bhp it offered the most powerful V12 engine ever put into an SL up to that time. After a brief gap, the SL73 was offered again from 1998 to 2001, although the engine was slightly updated to be more reliable. The same 7.3L V12 was later used by Pagani in the Zonda."
A total of 85 SL73 AMG were built.

Look at the Enzo/430-esque rear lights, they make it look far less lard-arsed than the Scag.

I like it too 👍
I love the wheels but they better suit a retro-styled hot hatch like the Abarth 500.

I think that's why part of me loves them, because the semi-retro wheels fit with the idea of a high performance "family" car like that. At least it does in my head

Holy crap, I've actually seen one of those! It was in Germany a couple of years ago, though I just discarded it as a regular SL with some lame add-on third-party letters.

A lot of cars i didnt know, thanks for sharing!
i know this post is old, but yes: im from south america and i see a lot of those here-> I just saw this cute little thing last Saturday:
Ford Fiesta [Mk.6] Sedan
^ The car that I saw had Mexican plates and obviously this car was primarily marketed exclusively at Central and South America, even it was designed and engineered in Euroland. A rare sight in Las Vegas indeed!

I had never heard of the Bolwell Nagari, even though it was Australian
Bolwell's are little fibreglass pieces of crap kit cars from the 70s and the only people who still like them are the 17 people who still own them.
Ford Laser Sedans were the second worst thing in the world, after the Bowell's.Thiele

A friend at a TAFE course i did had and old defected one (the hatchback, not sedan) and it was just about the crappiest car i've ever been in. I know a lot of P-platers have crappy cars but god...
You been in a cave?
No, i passed it at a friend's house the other night and didn't have a good look at it and thought "cool, he's got a new Mondeo". Then i looked at it on the way out and saw it was the new Falcon. Didn't know it existed.

@ GTX: Only 125bhp more? That 5.4 can take sooo much more than 675-700...
