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!

2008 Chrysler 300C 5.7L V8 Touring
The Chrysler 300C has been a strong seller in North America, however here in New Zealand we receive a bodystyle unseen in the home market - literally the Dodge Magnum bodyshell with the 300C's frontal treatment and interior.
Furthermore, the 300C for our market is built in Graz, Austria and is right hand drive. It makes an interesting alternative from its Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon rivals - thinking further now it takes up a place of Chrysler's New Zealand lineup vacated many years ago by the Australian Valiant range...
As for the location, this photograph is now "historic" - if one took a photograph at this spot, the background carpark has since gained several storeys...
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.

Donald Healey's eponymous company built a prototype two-seater sports car for display at the 1952 London Motor Show. It was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and sported a sleek body designed by Gerry Coker and built by Tickford. It was dubbed the 'Healey Hundred' (a moniker chosen to reflect the car's ability to reach 100mph), and, subject to a suitably encouraging response, Healey planned to build production versions in-house at his factory in Warwick. As things transpired, not only did the Ice Blue prototype more than impress the public, but also so excited Austin's Managing Director, Leonard Lord, that he struck a deal to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The newcomer was renamed the Austin-Healey 100. The rest, as they say, is history.
The production bodyshells were made by Jensen and then transported to Longbridge where the cars were assembled alongside the A90. The early cars (code named BN1s) were equipped with the same 90bhp 2,660cc engines and manual four-speed transmissions as the A90 though, in an unusual move, Austin modified the gearbox so it operated as a three-speed unit with overdrive on the top two ratios. The car had 11in drum brakes all round. The front suspension was independent by coil springs while the rear featured a traditional live axle supported by semi-elliptic leaf springs. The steering was by cam and lever. A BN1 tested by Motor magazine in 1953 returned a top speed of 106 mph and achieved the 0-60mph dash in 11.2 seconds.
'TOX 611' is a very special motorcar with a fascinating history. Originally destined to be a 1953 BN1 model (the original chassis plate is still attached to the vehicle), it was apparently withdrawn from the production line before completion and, while still in primer, placed in the care of Dick Gallimore of Austin's experimental/prototype workshop. For the next three years it was given over to development duties, and reputedly became one of four prototypes built to asses the viability of upgrading the 100 from four to six-cylinder power. Certainly, it was extensively modified to accept the 2,639cc C Series engine still installed and was converted from a 2 to 2+2 seating arrangement. It is therefore a vital link in the evolution of the Big Healey.

The Jensen Interceptor is a sporting GT-class car hand-built in the United Kingdom by Jensen Motors between 1966 and 1976. The Interceptor name had been used previously by Jensen for an earlier car made between 1950 and 1957. The car broke with Jensen tradition by having a steel bodyshell instead of glass-reinforced plastic and by having the body designed by an outside firm, Carrozzeria Touring of Italy, rather than the in-house staff. The early bodies were Italian-built, by Vignale, before production by Jensen themselves began – with subtle body modifications – in West Bromwich.

The Allegro was designed as a replacement for the 1100 - 1300 models, designed by Sir Alec Issigonis the new car was launched in 1973. The Allegro used front-wheel drive, using the familiar A-Series engine with a sump-mounted transmission. The higher-specification models used the SOHC E-Series engine (from the Maxi), in 1500 cc and 1750 cc displacements. The two-box saloon bodyshell was suspended using the new Hydragas system (derived from the previous Hydrolastic system used on the 1100/1300). Stylistically the car bucked the trend of the 1970's sharp edge look in favour of a rounded bodyshell Early Allegro models featured a "quartic" steering wheel, which was rectangular with rounded sides. This was touted as allowing extra room between the base of the steering wheel and the driver's legs. The quartic wheel did not take off, and was dropped in 1974
The updated Allegro 2 was launched at the 1975 London Motorshow the Allegro 2 had the same bodyshells but featured a new grille, reversing lights on most models and some interior changes to increase rear seat room, Changes were also made to the suspension, braking, engine mounts and drive shafts.
The Allegro received its second major update, launched as the Allegro 3 at the end of 1979. The refreshed car used an "A-Plus" version of the 1.0 litre A-Series engine (developed for the forthcoming new Metro), and featured some cosmetic alterations in an attempt to keep the momentum going, but by then the Allegro was outdated and the Metro was due on stream in 1980. By 1980 the Allegro failed to dent the he top 10 best selling new cars in Britain, a table it had topped a decade earlier, though BL were represented by the fast selling Metro and the Triumph Acclaim. The Vanden Plas models were rebranded as the 1.5 and the 1.7, the 1.5 having a twin carburettor 1500 cc engine and a manual gearbox, while the 1.7 had a single carburettor 1750cc engine and an automatic gearbox. Some models of Allegro 3 (the early HL and later HLS models) were equipped with four round headlights, rather than the more usual two rectangular ones. The final Allegro was built in March 1982 with its successor the Austin Maestro going into production December 1982

Cute or what? The changeover to the Mk2 bodyshell in September / October of '67 made the Mk1 look old fashioned in some folks eyes but the period charm of these earlier cars is hard to resist . . . . dinky rear lights, smaller rear window, original style badging, two tone interiors, lovely.

The forlorn bodyshell of Class 73/1, 73134 "Woking Homes 1885 - 1985" stands in its long-term resting place outside the Brush Traction works at Loughborough.
Having been used as a spares donor for the 73/9 rebuilds done at Brush, the future remains unclear for 73134 - with its fate being even more uncertain following the recent announcement that the Brush Traction works will close by the end of 2021.

Doncaster Railway Station South Yorkshire Virgin East Coast Japanese Hitachi Azuma Train passing the EMPTY factory where Sir Nigel Gresley used to build the finest BRITISH Steam Trains in the world. Virgin Trains should be ashamed at buying Foreign Trains.
VTEC plans to take delivery of its first four Azumas from Hitachi in 2018. The Class 800 Super Express is a type of electro-diesel train to be used in the United Kingdom based on the Hitachi A-train design. They have been built by Hitachi. These trains are being assembled at the Hitachi Newton Aycliffe facility from bodyshells shipped from the Kasado plant in Japan; NO body construction takes place in the UK.
A Trainspotting Nightmare these Japanese trains have NO NUMBERS. To add insult to injury they have Japanese writing. Shame on VTEC
Production of cars ceased over the war years, but by 1946 a new vehicle was offered, the Jensen PW (a luxury saloon). Few were produced since raw materials were still in short supply. Also in 1946 body designer Eric Neale joined the company from Wolseley and his first project was the more modern coupe which followed in 1950, named the Interceptor, which was built until 1957. In 1955, Jensen started production of Neale's masterpiece, the 541, which used the then-revolutionary material of fiberglass for its bodywork. The 541 was replaced by another Neale design, the CV8 in 1962, which replaced the Austin-sourced straight-6 of the previous cars with a 6 litre American Chrysler V8. This large engine in such a lightweight car made the Jensen one of the fastest four-seaters of the time.
For its replacement (the Interceptor, launched in 1966) Jensen turned to the Italian coachbuilder, Touring, for the body design, and to steel for the material. The bodyshells themselves were built by Vignale of Italy and later by Jensen. The same 383 cu in (6.3 L) Chrysler wedge-head powerplant was used in the earlier cars with the later cars moving to the 440 cu in (7.2 L) in engine. The Interceptor was offered in saloon, convertible and coupe versions. The saloon was by far the most popular with its large, curving wrap-around rear window that doubled as a tailgate.
Related to the Interceptor was another car, the Jensen FF, the letters standing for Ferguson Formula, Ferguson Research being the inventor of the full-time all wheel drive system adopted, the first on a production sports car. Also featured was the Dunlop Maxaret anti-lock braking system in one of the first uses of ABS in a production car. Outwardly, the only differences from the Interceptor were four extra inches of length (all ahead of the windscreen) and a second row of air vents behind the front wheels. The small number of 320 FFs were constructed, and production ceased in 1971.

Beauford is a British automobile company originally based in Upholland, Lancashire but later moving to Stoke on Trent. The cars are supplied in kit form.
The first cars were made in 1985 and used a Mini bodyshell as the passenger compartment later replaced by a glass fibre moulding. This was mounted on a ladder chassis. At the front is a long bonnet with flowing wings at either side to give the appearance of a 1930s luxury car. A variety of power units could be ordered including Ford, Nissan and Rover. The suspension can be sourced from the Ford Sierra.
Both open and closed bodies were made. The cars became popular as wedding transport.
The Travelling Post Office trains ceased as long ago as January 2004.
The vehicles were based on the Mark 1 bodyshell and had the TOPS code of NS. In this case supplemented by "A" to signify an air braked only vehicle dating from around 1977.

This is the wooden plug used to create "proper" AC Cobra bodywork. The aluminium sheets are hand rolled over this. In the background of the previous picture you can see some of the bodyshells formed on this jig.
Original Cobras have hand formed aluminium bodywork, whereas cheaper replicas generally have bodyshells made from fibreglass.

50040 was unlucky not to be saved but at least it did manage to escape Booths yard when it was moved to the Coventry Railway Centre in May 2000. Unfortunately, by this time it was in such a poor state that it was only fit for scrap so the bodyshell was eventually carted off to Sims Metals scrapyard at Halesowen and scrapped there in June 2008. It had originally been removed from traffic at Laira in August 1989 and cannibalised for spares to keep the other's going.

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

"The Aston Martin DB9 is a thoroughbred sports car with GT levels of comfort and refinement. Combining Aston Martin's unique character with an uncompromising design philosophy, the DB9 was borne out of a synthesis of traditional craftsmanship, high-tech manufacturing, modern components and use of the finest materials." - Aston Martin.
Launched in 2003 as successor to the DB7, the DB9 was the first model to be built at Aston Martin's new factory at Gaydon, Warwickshire. Like its predecessor, the DB9 was styled by Ian Callum, with finishing touches applied by Henrik Fisker. State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques were employed in making the aluminium/composite body, which was robotically assembled using a combination of self-piercing rivets and adhesive. Although some 25% lighter than that of the DB7, this advanced bodyshell possesses double the structural stiffness.
The DB9 was powered by a development of the 5.9-litre, 48-valve, V12 engine found in the DB7 Vantage producing 470bhp, an output sufficient to propel the aerodynamic coupé to a top speed of 306km/h (190mph) with 60mph attainable from a standing start in a neck-snapping 4.8 seconds. The aluminium engine was mounted as far back as possible in the chassis, while the transmission/final drive was positioned ahead of the rear axle, resulting in 85% of the car's mass being sited between the axles and a perfect 50/50 front/rear weight distribution. Transmission options were a six-speed manual or six-speed 'Touchtronic 2' semi-automatic.
Inside the DB9 one finds the typically elegant, luxurious and supremely comfortable hand crafted interior traditionally associated with Aston Martin, featuring primarily wood and leather trim as well as the latest in modern technology, subtly deployed. Although scheduled for a slightly higher production level than previous Aston Martins, the DB9 remained an exclusive product affordable only by a privileged few. Its price at launch was £111,000, with the Volante convertible some £14,000 more. Production ceased in 2016.
Commissioned from Aston Martin by our vendor, the DB9 Volante offered here is one of eight different models forming the Orange Special Limited Edition Collection, all of which are finished in unique Orange No.1 paintwork. Built to Swiss specifications, the car comes with a certificate of authenticity from Aston Martin; a copy of the sales invoice; a (photocopy) Swiss Carte Grise; photocopy EC Certificate of Conformity; and a detailed list of its money-no-object specification. The DB9 has recently benefited from recommissioning by noted marque specialists Stratton Motor Company.
