The Series 2 version of the 127 debuted in May 1977. It featured a restyled front and rear, a new dashboard (although almost identical in layout to that of the Series 1), larger rear side windows (using rear quarter pressings derived from those used on the Brazil market Fiat 147) and the option of the 1049 cc engine - uniquely for the 127 this was the five-bearing OHC "Brazil" 124 series engine from the 147 rather than the Fiat OHC unit from the 128. The tailgate was extended and now reached nearly to the rear bumper, addressing complaints about the high lip over which luggage had to be lifted for loading into the earlier 127 hatchbacks.
There was also a "high-cube" panel van version, known as the Fiorino which was based on the Series 2 bodyshell, and this remained in production until 1984, when a new Uno-based Fiorino debuted.
In Scandinavia and the Baltic nations it was particularly successful, and there are still many in circulation today.
A line of Class 76s is seen in the shed yard at Reddish in August 1981. The view was taken from the nearby overbridge on the Gorton to Trafford Park freight line. The dumped bodyshell of 76043 lies in the undergrowth in the foreground.
The Fiat 128 Special was launched in 1974 and featured the 1290 cc engine of the Fiat 128 Rally in a four door bodyshell. Headlights also differed from the rest of the range, at the time, in being rectangular.

Class 47 diesel-electric D1661 "North Star" leaves Blue Anchor on the West Somerset Railway with a service for Minehead during the 2010 Mixed Traffic Gala.
The class 47 locomotive was an evolution of the earlier British Railways "Peak" (class 44, 45 and 46) designs, using a lighter bodyshell. 512 of these ubiquitous type 4 diesels were built between 1962 and 1968 by Brush Traction and Crewe Works. Quite a number are still in service today (notably with WCRC and DRS).
D1661 was one of the few examples of the class to be named during the 1960s. In 1974, it took the TOPS number 47077 (the guise under which I first encountered it), before being again renumbered to 47613 in 1984 (following ETH conversion) and 47840 in 1989. Prior to preservation it had been leased to First Great Western.

John Haldane launched Haldane Developements Ltd. in Glasgow in 1988 to produce automobiles and kits. In 1993 Brian Harrison and Alisdair Scott took over production until 1994. From 1994 Pilgrim cars took over production, retaining the Haldane name but moved the facilities from Glasgow to Henfield in West Sussex. Production finally ended in 2008 after around 136 vehicles had been produced.
The first model was the HD100 a model based on the Austin Healey 100, with a fibreglass body mounted on a chassis developed in house. The four cylinder engine came from the Vauxhall Chevette. From 1993 a revised chassis was released to accommodate Ford engines. Around 100 examples were built between 1988-1994.
In 1991 a second model, the HD3000 complemented the range, modeled on the Austin Healey 3000 it otherwise corresponded with the HD100 around 36 were built by 2008
This Austin Healey replica was built by Haldane before the Scottish company ceased trading. The rights are now with Pilgrim who are planning to return the car to production.
Styled on similar lines as the classic Austin Healey the car has a composite (GRP) monocoque bodyshell, powered by a modern engine with Ford Sierra suspension and a robust backbone chassis and Geoscan designed suspension. It will be supplied either as a kit priced between £13,900 to £16,900 dependant upon specification or factory built for £18,000 for one with used components to £ 27,000 for a top specification factory built car with new components

The V12 Coupé is probably the rarest XJ40 model ever built.
Designed and manufactured by Jaguar's Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) department, this is a strict one-off.
The details on the car are great: the non-functional Perspex side windows, the hand-painted badge (Coupè instead of Coupé, by the way), the 'stretched' door veneers and sill strips all indicate this is not a production car.
The interior and bodyshell do look the bit: convincing enough to pass as a production car!
This rare masterpiece is owned by JDHT and was driven out of its shelter for the annual meeting of the XJ40 owners' forum, XJ40.com.

The Citroën AX is a supermini car which was built by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1986 to 1998. It was launched at the 1986 Paris Motor Show to replace the Citroën Visa and Citroën LNA.
Development of this model started in 1983, and it was initially also going to form the basis of a sister model from Talbot to replace the Samba; however, the falling popularity of the Talbot brand - coupled with the huge success of the new Peugeot 205 - had led to Peugeot deciding to axe it by the time the Citroën AX was launched, and so the Talbot version never made it into production.
With the final demise of the classic Citroën 2CV in 1990, the AX became the smallest model in the Citroën range.
The car was very economical, largely because of excellent aerodynamics for its class of car (drag coefficient of 0.31) and a very light weight of 640 kg (1,411 lb) for the basic version. This was due to the extensive use of plastic panels in non-load bearing areas and varying the thicknesses of steel in the bodyshell to be the minimum needed to take required loads
In 1989, a naturally aspirated diesel AX, using the 1360 cc, all aluminium alloy TUD engine, managed a figure of 2.7 litres per 100 kilometres (100 mpg‑imp; 87 mpg‑US), totalling over 1,000 miles (1,609 km) from Dover to Barcelona. This was the longest ever distance travelled on 10 imp gal (45.5 L; 12.0 US gal) of fuel and earned it a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the most economical production car.

Southern California Regional Rail Authority formally unveiled its first F125 diesel locomotive at Los Angeles Union Station on July 18th 2016.
As launch customer for EMD’s Tier 4-compliant passenger locomotive, the agency has ordered 40 F125s from the Progress Rail subsidiary at a total cost of around $280m. The majority of the locos are expected to be delivered by mid-2017.
Part-funded by grants from the South Coast Air Quality Management District, the new low-emission locomotives are intended to replace the 1990s-built F59PH and F59Phi locomotives currently powering most Metrolink commuter trains. According to EMD, the F125 is the cleanest diesel locomotive in the USA, in terms of reduced particulate matter and NOx emissions. Exhaust gas recycling and urea-based selective catalytic reduction are expected to reduce emissions by around 85% compared to older commuter rail locomotives.
The F125 is 21 m long and 4 445 mm high, fitting the Amtrak D-05-1355 clearance gauge which would permit it to operate in the Northeast Corridor. The full-width, monocoque, bodyshell incorporating crash energy management was manufactured in Spain by Vossloh Rail Vehicles, now part of Stadler Rail. Total weight in working order is 127 tonnes.
The four-axle locomotive rides on fabricated high speed bogies designed for 200 km/h operation. It is powered by a 20-cylinder turbocharged Caterpillar C175 four-stroke engine rated at 4 700 hp at 1 800 rev/min. Starting tractive effort is 315 kN.
The AC traction motors have individual axle control and extended-range dynamic braking, which is blended with the traditional airbrakes. This configuration permits a degree of regenerative braking to supply head-end power for the train lighting and other electrical requirements, under a process described by EMD as ‘dynamic brake energy recovery’.

Didn’t check, but I’d imagine this was a diesel. Later-style grille, 2dr bodyshell and alloys was a new combination, but from comments on the photo of the earlier white RR I saw this does seem to be something France got as an official model.

MOT ExpiryDate:Jan 2014
Archer's Garage of Oldbury are renowned for their Sprinzel Sebring Sprite Evocations and were commissioned by the late Michael Sutton Esq. to do much of the preparation work on `NSU 368' including modifying a new Heritage bodyshell to accept authentic-looking GRP bonnet, fastback roof and rear shroud assemblies plus aluminium-skinned doors. Intended for `fast road' use, the Austin-Healey had its 1310cc A-Series engine and four-speed close-ratio gearbox overhauled / uprated by Peter May Engineering Ltd. Sporting a Safety Devices rollover bar, Radtec alloy radiator, bucket seats and upgraded front discs, the two-seater passed its most recent MOT test (January 2013) with no advisories. The four years (2001-2005) and circa £22,700 that Mr Sutton spent on the project are chronicled in two accompanying files.
Motorcycles and automobiles
IZh-2126 Oda.
The first IZh motorcycle was 1928's IZh 1, a 1200cc across-the-frame V-twin with shaft drive, designed by the Soviet engineer Pyotr Vladimirovich Mokharov (1888–1934).
The IZh automobiles were copies of Moskvitch models 412 and later AZLK-2138 and 2140, until the IZh-2126 Oda. The Oda, bore a very close resemblance to the Moskvitch AZLK-2141 Aleko, but had a completely different rear-wheel drive design.
AZLK 412 based IZh models, which were completely IZh own designs were 2715, 27151, 2125 and 21251. 2125 was built until 1982, when it was facelifted along with IZh 412 IE, 2715 and 27121. The newer version of 2125 was named 21251. All of the IZh own models were based on AZLK 412 and the bodyshell(with the exception of the rear part, witch were different on 2715/27151 and 2125/21251) along with mechanical parts were direct copies of AZLK 412.
Currently, IZh produces one Kia model and two Lada models.
"Second life" of an Izh bike
Between 1973 and 1979 IZh was one of the makes marketed by SATRA in the United Kingdom under the Cossack Motorcycles brand; the Planeta and Jupiter models.[3]
Izh Motorcycles now produces four models: the Yunker, Planet 5, Jupiter,and Cornet. They all have 350cc two stroke engines except the Cornet which has a 50cc engine. On the Yunker and the Jupiter the motors are Liquid cooled.
There are also Special Purpose motorcycles for police, cargo carry, and a "Swamp Rover" all based on other production models.
A 650cc Rotax-powered Sport the PS-S 650 Rotax, and what appears to be an updated Planet 5 aptly called Planet 7 are apparently entering production soon.
Upwards of 11 million motorcycles have been produced by the IZh.
IzhAvto, the car building branch of the company filed for bankruptcy in August 2009.
The Blue one, TTN 52S, was built by my father Morry Cook from a new bodyshell some 10-15 years ago, awaiting some work in the garage. XGK 929S has been in the family now for 20 years and is now doing me a turn of service. Used to be a bit of an animal, plans are afoot to make it at least sound that way ;)
1 Of 31 made for the 1995 Judge Dread film.
Thirty-one 101s were converted by Land Rover with artistically styled bodyshells for the 1995 Sylvester Stallone film Judge Dredd. Land Rover is supposedly the world's only surviving vehicle manufacturer in 2139 when the film is set, and the green oval logo can be seen on the front of the vehicles, known as "City CABs". Several of these prop vehicles still exist in driveable condition and are often seen at Land Rover events.

Withdrawn CP Whitcomb A1A-A1A 1310 stands dumped in the small compound at the rear of Barreiro depot, next to the bodyshell of 1809. 29th August 1990.
Subject Description: Introduced in 1966, the Hillman Hunter was part of the Rootes Group ‘Arrow’ family of cars, designed to replace an older generation of Hillman, Humber and Singer models. It was a ground-up re-design within a brand-new, three-box bodyshell that was a foretaste of the Ford Cortina Mkll that was to become its biggest rival. In model terms, the Hillman Hunter has been poorly represented with, prior to the recent announcement by Oxford Diecast, only Corgi’s 1:43 representation of the 1968 London to Sydney Rally car. Introduced in 1969, this was one of the final models from Corgi’s golden age. It was a strong seller, helped by publicity in the Daily Express, which sponsored the race. It came with stickers to allow purchasers to decorate the model with sponsorship logos themselves.
AI Notes: This is largely an AI creation as, whilst I have plenty of Hillman Hunter images, it was easier to simply tell AI what I wanted than to go round endless loops to get it to place my work into an appropriate scene. Whilst I can’t vouch for its accuracy, I’m not aware of any obvious howlers (05-Mar-26).

1/32 resn slot car Ford Cortina mk3 2.5 litre V6 in BTCC Motorcraft livery c.1975. Modified PSR resin bodyshell with PCS32 chassis & resin inserts.
The bodyshell on this is from the humble Airfix kit. It uses a PCS chassis, Ninco wire wheels which have been painted.
I've tried to make it look like a very early E type racer before the Lightweights came along.
The Classic saloon sported a two or four door bodyshell which came complete with a four headlamp front grille, Anglia style "reverse slope" rear window and large "gull wing" tail-fins. The overall look of the 109E Classic was too American for most tastes and combined with the cars lack of power, the model failed to sell. After only one year in production the model was replaced by a slightly improved 116E Classic.

The 3.5-litre version of the 280 SE typifies the resurgence of larger-engined Mercedes-Benz models that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the progressive easing of fiscal constraints, which had dissuaded customers from buying cars with large capacity engines, encouraged the German manufacturer to offer bigger, more potent power units. Thus the ultra-luxurious 280 SE coupé/cabriolet and 300 SEL saloon were chosen by Mercedes-Benz to launch its magnificent new 3.5-litre V8 engine in 1969. An over-square design featuring a cast-iron block and aluminium-alloy cylinder heads, each equipped with a single overhead camshaft, this all-new, state-of-the-art power unit produced 200bhp courtesy of Bosch electronic fuel injection and transistorised ignition. Thus equipped, the Coupé/Cabriolet was good for 205km/h (127mph) with 100km/h reachable in 9.5 seconds, a substantial improvement on the six-cylinder version's figures. Although the equivalent SEL saloon used the 'New Generation' bodyshell, the Coupé and Cabriolet kept the elegant coachwork that had debuted back in 1959 on the 220 SE and, as befitted top-of-the-range luxury models, came equipped with automatic transmission, air conditioning, power windows and stereo radio as standard. Significantly, the 280 SE 3.5 was to be the final model to feature this long-established and much admired body style, and today these last-of-the-line classics are highly sought after by discerning Mercedes-Benz collectors.
One of only 3,720 Coupé examples produced, of which 3,025 were left-hand dive, this most elegant Mercedes-Benz, the top-of-the line 280 SE 3.5 V8 Coupe, was originally delivered to the United States and ordered in the stunning 'Tobacco Brown' colour scheme it is presented in today. It was bought by the immediately preceding owner - a UK-based enthusiast - for his impressive private collection in France. While there the car was maintained by his personal mechanic and saw only very limited use. The current vendor purchased the Mercedes in October 2016, since when it has benefited from considerable refurbishment. In 2017 the body was thoroughly restored and treated to a full professional respray at a cost of €12,490, photographs and details of which are on file. In 2021 various electrical and mechanical repairs plus a service were carried out at a cost of some €6,680. Early 2023 ignition and fuel injection systems were inspected and repaired at a cost of €4,385. Repairs have also been made to the air conditioning, suspension, interior, etc at a cost of €9,990, while the overhauled Becker Europa stereo is now functioning correctly. The total spend on the aforementioned works was approximately €35,000. The related invoices are on file together with various smaller bills. It should be noted that the Mercedes has been professionally converted to European specification, not only deleting the reflectors but also installing a km/h speedometer, etc. The replacement automatic gearbox had been installed already before the 1990s it is believed.
Beautifully finished in a most attractive colour combination of dark brown and sumptuous tan leather interior, this stunning Mercedes-Benz comes with the desirable options of automatic transmission (column-mounted change), air conditioning, and electric tinted windows all round.
5116 HN - Ian Ashfield's Fastback
(No.47 on the list of Sebring Replicas).
Built during 2010, Ian's fastback Sebring was completed just in time to take centre-stage on the Midget & Sprite Club stand at the Classic Car Show at the Birmingham N.E.C. in November, that year. Painted in metallic Arctic Blue, it has a Peter May 1,330cc balanced and modified engine with a Weber carburettor. The car was built-up using a new Wheeler and Davies bodyshell and a lot of second parts. It uses a Jack Knight close ratio, straight cut gearbox, has a Panhard rod fitted at the rear, and sports a three-mouth Monza bonnet. In June 2011 the car has only done a total of about 50 miles but will be on display at Midget 50.
321 311 is one of 66 4-car units were ordered from BREL York by Network SouthEast in 1987. The sets were based on the Mk.3 coach bodyshell, but unlike the earlier Class 317/318 design were not fitted with front-end gangways. The livery on the rear set identifies it as one of the ‘Renatus’ upgrades, undertaken by Eversholt Rail Group from 2013. This included a new livery, a completely refitted interior, air-conditioning, a First Class section, and a new Vossloh Kiepe traction package. A second upgraded set can be seen behind the formation, stabled in the carriage sidings.
The view is taken from the London end of Colchester’s Platform 3, with the train, 1Y.14, the 11.02 London Liverpool Street – Ipswich, passing the former diesel shed. This was refurbished in 2018 and was used to service DMUs for the Sudbury branch and diesel-operated services from Ipswich. The arrival of the FLIRTs may have changed this arrangement somewhat, but it was noted that a 32,000 litre fuel tank has been placed adjacent to the bay Platform 6, marked for the use of Class 755, so some servicing of the sets clearly continues at Colchester
1/32 slot car Vauxhall Viva HA track car c.1966. Modified and lowered Airfix bodyshell and modified Scalextric chassis with a Mabuchi motor.
The Fiat 126 was introduced in October 1972 at the Turin Auto Show as a replacement for the Fiat 500. It never achieved the popularity of the 500.
The 126 used much of the same mechanical underpinnings and layout as its Fiat 500 rear-engined predecessor with which it shared its wheelbase, but featured an all new bodyshell closely resembling a scaled-down Fiat 127.
In Italy, the car was produced in the plants of Cassino and Termini Imerese until 1979. By this time 1,352,912 of the cars had been produced in Italy.
Note the details on this example. The broken rear lights, the large rear speakers and unequal roof rack.

The 993 designation is the companies internal name for this generation 911. The external design of the Porsche 993, penned by Englishman Toni Hatter, used the basic bodyshell architecture of the 964, but with changed external panels, with much more flared wheelarches and a smoother front and rear bumper design, an enlarged retractable rear wing, teardrop mirrors, but keeping the doors and roof panels.
The Carrera represented the "base model" of the 993, and was available in rear and all-wheel drive versions. It was equipped with the naturally aspirated 3.6 liter M64 engine, further developed from the 964 and combined with a new dual-flow exhaust system now incorporating two catalytic converters. In contrast to the 964 were the numbers Carrera 2 or 4 were used to differentiate between two and four wheel the numbers have been dropped and the models are simply referred to as C2 and C4.the cars can be distinguished by the Carrera 4 having clear front turn signals and rear red lenses instead of orange on the 2W
