Picture shows a 2018 Alfa Romeo Mito in red. And in need of a serious clean.

Picture shows the Alfa Mito's interior from the nearside. It's perhaps a bit sparse by modern standards, but clean and comfortable.

Picture shows the first addition: Alfa Romeo Owners Club stickers

One #AlfaRomeo out, another in.

This isn't really an introduction as it's been mentioned here before as I've worked on it - but say hello to my "new" daily ride: the Dort's 2018 1.3 JTDM-2 Alfa Mito, which I am keeper of while she's living in London

Here's another reason to find them interesting: youtu.be/HaVHojl1Y-M?...

(This is a lighter and more focused version, but it should give you some idea of what a sorted FTO is capable of.)

Local MG/Austin Healey/Triumph repair show. Various MGs

Various MGs at local repair shop near my house

My green 1970 MG Midget at local repair shop

Various MGs

Took the Midget out & did a photo shoot at my local MG/British car shop (it was closed).
Gas gauge is wonky so first I filled it. Took 4.2 gallons (tank capacity is 7 gal).
Shop is in a high rent area, but the business seems to be OK

And a cruise in our S500L to the MK Modern Classics meet together with Mercedes SL group UK at Mercedes of Milton Keynes yesterday ❤️
Had a great time with the modern classics & showroom cars🙏
A brilliant Sunday, and then Wout van Aert won Paris–Roubaix too! ❤️ Chapeau! 🚴

And another nice retro-mod / classics / anything goes meet at Wixhams near Bedford yesterday ❤️

When was the last time you saw an incredibly rare Vauxhall Viceroy 2500 on the road?
The only one I know of, is a regular visitor here 👍

And another brilliant Colmworth classics meet near Bedford yesterday for the first event of the season, now on the 2nd Sunday of every month❤️
Always an interesting mix, even if there were 14 MGBs there already and counting when I left to dash off to my next meet🏃‍♂️

Seven years into its life, the Alfa Romeo 33 received an extensive facelift to equip it for the challenge of maintaining sales into the 1990s. An angular new nose and tail treatment was intended to give a family resemblance to the company's well-regarded Alfa 164 flagship. #carbluesky

Lovely day for a drive in my new car.

Very elegant Lynx Eventer. Just the car for driving a case of champagne home.

Rolls-Royce Camargue - CAR magazine 1979 #OldCarGBU verdict: Boring👎

For: The ultimate status symbol
Against: But there are far better cars, and cheaper
Sum-up: Exorbitantly dreary
#CarBluesky #WeirdCarBS

Another brilliant day out at Silverstone with Carnatter today, for the first race meeting of the VSCC's race programme, and to meet up with old friends ❤️
Happy memories rekindled today over 35yrs later, of lining up in the Silverstone assembly area before going out to race 🏎️

Picture shows the new AEM X-series controller fitted to the nearside inner wing of the Triumph - and a large bundle of coiled wire ready for shortening when a new 4-pin Econoseal connector arrives; the one I ordered helpfully having been supplied with a missing pin making using it pointless... 🙄

After pulling the dead Innovate LC-1 wideband HEGO controller from the #Triumph Mk2 PI last weekend, I wired in it's replacement: an AEM X-series unit.

It's not the neatest of jobs as its only fitted temporarily - but it's in and working and #rustival ready 👍😊

I love these pre-production C4 Corvette ZR-1s. The 8,000rpm digital tacho is just so cool.

(The production models got the facelifted interior with the more conventional instruments, among other things.)

VW Polo & Derby - CAR magazine 1979 #OldCarGBU verdict: Interesting👍

For: Tremendously smooth, flexible engine, good steering, handling, ride
Against: Load access not as good in Polo?
Sum-up: Svelte, sophisticated baby and well made; booted Derby addition enhances appeal
#CarBluesky #WeirdCarBS

BMW's exotic mid-engined M1 sports car put in a guest appearance alongside the E23 735i in this 1981 brochure, intended to underline the pedigree of the latter's 218 bhp engine. The 7 series exuded the understatedly elegant road presence which was then the hallmark of BMW styling. #carbluesky

A silver Aston-Martin Valour proofshot while we’re driving around in my mom’s Yaris

Spot of the year? Aston-Martin Valour, randomly on the road in Greece #carbluesky

This Vitesse occasionally races with us in our historic events here in the northeast USA.
It runs a 2.5 L six with 5 speed box. It's fast. 👍
It was originally built and campaigned by Triumph-guru Kas Kastner in the 1970s

I may never attend it, but I really like the Revival version of the La Carrera Panamerican.
Especially the classes with the old American crocks from '40 to '54.

#weirdcars #carbluesky #weirdcarbs #classiccars

With 104bhp & 105bhp per ton, the 100mph+ for only £972 Triumph Vitesse Mk2, was arguably the 'GTI' of the late 60s, outperforming the sports cars of the day just like the Golf GTI did later on in the 70s 👍

Convertibles were only £1020 and a BMW 2002 was 70% more expensive 😲

I had a good nose around the upcoming lots at the Anglia Auctions classic sale yesterday.

(angliacarauctions.co.uk/auctions/275...)

I'll put everything that caught my eye in one thread.

Off we go...

Fiat's Regata was a front-wheel-drive derivative of the Ritmo/Strada, concocted to replace the ageing 131 Mirafiori. Rather bland in looks, the model was arguably most interesting in its Weekend estate car derivative. A special edition Riviera model is shown in this 1987 UK brochure. #carbluesky

MGB - CAR magazine 1979 #OldCarGBU verdict: Boring👎

For: Unburstable mechanicals
Against: No grip, nasty nose, awful ride
Sum-up: So old, so tired
#CarBluesky #WeirdCarBS

The first generation of the Renault Laguna proved a successful replacement for the 21. This 2000 UK brochure shows the staple hatchback towards the end of its lifespan. It reached further upmarket than its predecessor, with 3.0-litre 194bhp V6 versions of the RTi and Monaco featured. #carbluesky

Renault 30 - CAR magazine 1979 #OldCarGBU verdict: Interesting👍

For: Five-seat comfort, cross-country speed, equipment
Against: Wheelspin in wet
Sum-up: Only needs self-levelling to be a world beater, still grossly under-rated. Fuel injected TX welcome addition
