I like the matching V70 and Duett! The latter looks like 96 Blue - my favourite old Volvo colour. "Bonus prize for identifying the car on the trailer." Sabra? Indeedy - and the actual prototype Sabra too Oh, and there's also my sig pic too - taken must be 14 years ago now, when my Sprite was put into storage

And the Duett (currently still under restoration, see my other topic) will return in Midnight blue with greywhite band around the windows. In this style only no whitewalls (not my car): Thom

Love that Bultaco, Had a very brief experience as a 8 year old kid around 1980 on a Montesa Cota (tinyest model) but still wonder why I did not hang on to it (probably just too young or so). But I still love old trial bikes. Thom

The first proper road going race rep & no mistek I took it off the road about 8 years ago , as my eldest son was riding it somewhat enthusiastically and I could see tears and carnage ensuing. It is stripped down now , and will be re-commissioned over winter ( hopefully). Spent yesterday afternoon bead blasting most of the engine casings ,steel brackets and fairing hanger ready for painting.

This weekend I picked up this 1969 Firebird for a customer. It was a show condition car when due to the owner's poor heath it was parked up under trees and hadn't moved for 31 years!
