The first car I drove on a public road was a hired Fiat 500 on the Spanish island of Majorca on a family holiday. I learned to drive and took my tests (failed one from overconfidence, passed one!) in my 1953 RME Riley.

I do like the Daytona, best are the Plexiglass front ones with 9 inch rear wheels. Here's my selection: Best sports / racer - 250 GTO Ferrari. Best touring car - Woolf Barnato's 'Blue Train' Speed Six Gurney Nutting coupe. Best daily driver BMW 2002 ti Alpina

I know it's a real car, but it looks like someone's photoshopped the top of a black car onto the body of a different make of red car. Do I like it? No.

Complete with the notorious twin driveshafts! Simonaitis, an authority, says "Several benefits were claimed for this oddity of drive. The relocated differential, a heavy component, contributed very little to unsprung weight; this, to the benefit of handling on rough roads. The driver’s seat could be nestled between the vee, thus enhancing a low centre of gravity. And rear axle weight was reduced by swapping the differential for the twin bevel sets and short half-shafts to the wheels." Lovely car, beautiful model.

The indicators are different, the N360 ones are integrated into the grille surround. Maybe not close enough for Michael!

I notice this one's a Fiat 500 Giardiniera, the rare station wagon version.☺️

Great car - but it's not 'Under Glass' - this section is for completed model cars not real ones! This post should be in 1:1 Reference Photos: Auto Shows, Personal vehicles (Cars and Trucks)

Well done Pete - here's my full original image:, now it's your turn to post one!

Let's keep it rolling:

You might want to change the subject of this thread Alan! It's not just for Jaguars!

Sorry I can't find a tidy way to crop an image. This one is slightly harder maybe?

That would be a Sprint on this side of the pond. Autocross is muddy and rough in the UK! Have fun with your new ride.

Good luck! She looks too good for the kind of autocross I'm familiar with but she's perfect for the strip.

Agreed. Too much front overhang and the wheels are way too small. And it would probably have been cheaper to buy a proper rig, cos I would imagine the build costs were pretty high.

I love the 70s rear jack up kit - with the leaf springs bowing the wrong way! Great car with potential, what are your plans?

Fair cop!

She keeps her Moet et ChandonIn her pretty cabinet"Let them eat cake", she saysJust like Marie Antoinette…

I've spent time around these cars and this is fabulously evocative. I love it.

I suspect they'll find it was the nut behind the wheel...

The man's an idiot and should be locked up. With his licence revoked for life. It's just luck that no innocent bystanders got hurt. Just my opinion.

Great model. This 'plane has always fascinated me because Lindbergh has no forward vision at all! He would yaw the thing and look out of the side windows, apparently he was used to flying mail planes from the rear seat with the front loaded with mailbags. A periscope was developed but it's not clear if this was used much if at all.

These vehicles had dodgy handling even with the standard engine, so the extra power will make a very challenging drive! That said, I love the Cheetah and what you're doing with it!
