Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
It's in Japan & that seems to be the way they restore their classic Lotuses these days ...

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Croix-en-Ternois is a popular venue with the rear-engined Renault cowd - I went round there many years ago in my R8 Gordini in the company of several other Gordinis, A110's, etc.
The A110 pictured is my favourite model - original 1300G with its Gordini engine uprated to 1300 S ...

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
After a bit of research, it appears to be a 246S Dino but my suggestion that it was possibly a V6 Dino-engined Testa Rossa wasn't too far from the truth since on Kidston's website they had this :Lightweight_911 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2023 10:42 am .
That looks like a rare car - V6 Dino-engined Testa Rossa (with independent rear suspension) ?
.
I think this is the same car being driven at last year's FoS - definitely worth watching :

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Thanks Andy that is good to know and the video is well worth watching.
I am always amazed how fast and sideways people go in these very valuable cars.

A hot rod CV. Probably no longer has a 2CV up front. I have used '2CV' with some trepidation as the HP/BHP police are no doubt watching.

Wild! Darren put a bike engine in a van I believe and said it was a lot of fun - totally stock on the outside though (which I prefer really)

I look pretty young but I'm just backdated yeah

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Agree - that looks like it has been chopped and the windscreen laid back. Be interested to see what it is running though, as must only weigh the same as a bag of sweets…
