Cuddly Carl??

 

I only said it was rare,only Wes could like it though

 

Hay, it got you 700 klms. [emoji41]

 

Nice Leopard.

 

I’ve never seen that before - is it a Bertone design?

 

One is cheap to maintain the other one would cost a Bomb to maintain…

 

Here you go.

914, not 911; no wonder the proportions look ok.


Silly signature here to annoy KIAI

 

Coz it's a 'proper' VW?...beaudy.

 

Reminds me of this: Mercedes C111

Not to mention one would look much the same today, the other...

 

No, Ital Design under Giorgetto Giugiaro, but close, since he was at Bertone beforehand. He also penned the DeLorean.

Have a look at these as well of which he was responsible:

De Tomaso Mangusta
Maserati Boomerang
Alfa Romeo Caimano

Two other similar designs, not from him, but rather Gandini:

Alfa Romeo Carabo
Lancia Stratos Zero

I love this period of automotive design. It was a time of great optimism and flair. The likes of which we are unlikely to see again.

 

Huh! What a bizarre decision - 914 is definitely a contender for ugliest car ever built (I call it the ‘push me /pull me’ car because the front and rear ends are barely distinguishable from each other).

 

Here's an honest looking FHC Aussie E Greg:

Same family, car biz is a sideshow / hobby 'cause they like cars.

 

Always liked these crisp stylish wagons:

Any of the SEQ gang going to Macs Bridge show tomorrow ?

 

I preferred them when they were $50k

 

Everything was good at 50K Greg...It’s the perfect round number for buying a car...

 

GLWT!
I liked when the 330 S1 was $110K!
