I like that silver Bentley - what is it? It's a Mk6 Special. "The Warley Roadster" Inspiration was a 1930's Alfa. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/Q8bRST3/Goodwood-Loading.jpg)

I very much miss my Maserati Quattroporte that I restored from a rather poor state. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.talkmorgan.com/gallery/27/full/6643.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/download/Number/13820/filename/QP.jpg) Lovely V8 engine and still accelerating strongly at over 200kph it is easy to believe is was the fastest 4 door car available in the 60's. At the opposite end of the scale in engine size I had a lot of fun in a Honda S600 Coupe. ![[Linked Image]](http://performancedrive.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Honda-S600-Spring-Classic-Auction-630x454.jpg) Only 1800 of these were built so it is a fairly rare car. I actually managed to transport a friend and 3 girls in it on one occasion.

As to the Honda, I drove one of them in the 70,s it belonged to an engineer I worked with. It was for sale and the acceleration was fantastic but the rust issue then put me off and I bought an MG Midget.

I applaud your sense of style.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Why not proud? The car would be the coolest thing younger people in this country would like to have today. Tell something about the car, engine, performance etc. I find it sexy and the absolute counterstatement to the politically correct zeitgeist. I don't know this car, is it one of those Australian Chevrolets like muscel car? And the colour is "over cool" again today.

'HEY, Charger'!! (Gives V 'peace' sign)  That is a superb example  Loved seeing the 'Charger' as a kid when I was growing up in Melbourne... along with the Monaro, the Torana GTR XU1 and the Ford Falcon of course! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Valiant_Charger

At the NZ racetracks the reliable Valiant chargers saw off the Holdens and Fords for many years, even with two cylinders less- though the long straights of Pukekohe probably suited them.
