Travelling west on the M27 last Thursday i seen one of these, and what a blast from the past and a big thumbs up cool as from Dez.

As i was at the helm of the 8 didn't get any pics of the actual car but it was white just like this one

Crumbs. Thats awesome.

Dont fancy shelling out for new rear tyres though, they're a bit chunky aint they !! +++

After you with Mike's special sock please. :)

Beautiful!

Just had a little look the rear tyres are 345x35x15 and they'll be £493.90+vat each :eek:

Slower than an S8 though. :eek:

Only 50mm wider than my rear tyres then and about the same price! :(
Mine are 295 25 21s lol

A friend (ex-neighbour) of mine had one in black a few years ago, awesome vehicle, he sold his on when his mate, who had one as well, managed to kill himself after losing control of it and ending up in the scenery. I believe he was a qualified pursuit driver. Handling was a little 'dodgey', and I'll always remember Car magazine's comments about them in their GBU section as 'Elvis shot his' :)

Doesn't detract from its beauty though.

twice if I recall the urban legend....still whatever it took to make it start! :D

Lovely car.. built in the day when they were 'built'.. just screams 'mad' at you :)

Got my vote but prefer the look of the none wide arched and with no spoiler version :)

Gotta love the V8 flamethrower engine in that car...!

:)

love it+++

It reminds me a bit of a Lambo Jalpa I had for a short while in the green shield stamp period lol the interior was shocking and you boiled to death inside.

Pretty insane looking vehicle, however the maddest roadcar I've ever seen (was behind me, and then I followed it up the A12 for about 25 miles) has to be the Marcos LM600 evo... (B1 GLM) (only 1 surviving I think)

The photos available of it on line just don't do it justice, its in an amazing Lamborghini orange metallic, and the gloss black is so amazingly deep that you could be mistaken for thinking it was Hotblack Desiato's space ship

stunning doesn't even begin to describe it I have some piccys of it somewhere.

Some where I have piccies from the Dutch motorshow launch!!!! Note to ones self .....I will have to dig them out :p

Ah ha found it :p 1987 if the date on the packet of piccies is correct?

did the designer of the Lambo only have a straight edge on his desk!? the interior is a work of right angled madness!

I think he went on to design the Rover SD1 dash lol :p

and the Allegro steering wheel

More a Urraco - I knew someone who bought a Urraco as a project and I remember him saying that 50% of the parts were Fiat (124 etc)...

Those were the days:love:

That was the car indeed HP, sounded utterly glorious :)

Its actually quite a lot larger than the impression that the photo's give, and pretty low too.

That's a great car....I really like the proper supercars...spoilers, wings, air ducts.....a neighbour has a Lamborghini Espada and it's lovely but not like that De Tom.....that's an 80's brutal rip your head off supercar.....:D
