Here's a couple pictures of my original 1970 Meyers Manx fiberglass Dune Buggy. The kit car was built using the Manx bodyshell coupled with the VW Volkswagen Beetle bug frame and 1500 engine.
D1705 built as a Class 47 with a difference. A 47 bodyshell and a Sulzer 12LVA24-type engine, resulted in a Class 48 classification. Refitted with a standard engine in 1969, this turned her the loco into a 47.

In 1990 Greater Manchester PTE exhibited a prototype bodyshell of one half of a Metrolink light rail vehicle beneath Manchester Piccadilly station. The bodyshell was built by Officine Casertane in Caserta, Italy (part of the Firema Consortium) and was originally painted in Greater Manchester PTE's orange and white livery. It was subsequently repainted in Metrolink light grey, dark grey and aquamarine livery, numbered 1000 and named The Larry Sullivan. It joined the collection of vehicles at the Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester in 1992 and was photographed at the museum on 21 October 2018.

In Denmark the ADO16 bore the Morris Marina name. The MG models were sold as the MG Sports Sedan there, as it was in North America from 1962, and was available with a two-door bodyshell that would not be available in the UK until 1968.

DTC stands for Danish Thundersport Championship. The cars follow the CCR MkI and MkII regulations. They consist of a chassis built by Performance AutoMotive Scandinavian AB (PASAB) fitted with a clip-on bodyshell. The engines are 5,7 litre V8s, delivering 445 hp. The available bodyshells change a little from year to year, but in 2014 there were 3 options: Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger.
Each race weekend consists of a free practice, qualifying and 3 heats, of which the last one is considered the "final"
After heat one, the top 8 will normally get reversed for the heat 2 starting grid, which often causes interesting results and is a guarantee for highly entertaining racing.
Races take place mostly in Denmark, but with occasional visits abroad. 2 races per year take place on street circuits: this one in Aarhus at the CRAA and one in Copenhagen during the Historic Grand Prix there.
Most drivers are danish, but there's always a few norwegians in the pack as well.
The driver line-up is incredibly mixed and features star drivers (past and present) like Jan Magnussen, "Super John" Nielsen, Ronnie Bremer and Casper Elgaard alongside some of Denmark's finest young racing talents with full backing from big teams, as well as a bunch of privateers, who primarily take part for the fun of racing.
At the end of each season, a driver's 3 worst results get discarded to get the final overall result.
The DTC class is widely regarded as the pinnacle of racing on danish soil and is followed intensely by media as well as spectators.
There have been some voices against the DTC being included in the CRAA, saying that this class is anything but "classic racing", which is, of course, true, but no class causes the stands to be as packed as DTC, so it certainly helps attract people (and media interest)
DTC may not be "classic racing", but it plays a major part in making the annual CRAA event so successful.

Proud owner, designer and engineer Dave Eaton fields questions about his wonderful creation, the Icon 917. Starting with a bodyshell mould of David Piper's 917K-010, Dave and John Hartland have spent 8 years recreating this marvellous car that has always been intended to run on road and track. Fully IVA-compliant, it has a 3.6 flat-six engine with 280bhp and is only distinguishable from the original by small details necessary for it to run on the road. There is another car in the pipeline for collaborator John Hartland, and for more details see the comprehensive article in the July 2019 issue of Octane magazine.

Looks who's back! Back on the road after a "rest" of more than 5 years after snapping the rear axle! I bought the car on February 6th1995 and drove it on the day of my 21st birthday! It got a brand new heritage bodyshell in 1998 which took 9th months to rebuild.

Along with the Gremlin the Pacer was an attempt by American Motors to make a car to compete with the Ford Pinto, Chevrolet Vega & the increasing number of imports to the USA when gas prices shot up in the early 1970s.
It was intended to use GM's rotary engines, which were cancelled late in development, so the design was reworked to use AMC's existing engines.
The bodyshell was oddly styled with lots of glass and the right hand door longer for easier passenger access.
It had faded into bangerdom in the decade after being dropped in 1980, but the use of one Wayne's World helped make them a kitsch thing to own.
Update:
Thanks to the Glass's Index of Suffix Marks I've been able to find the registrations.

Legends car racing is a style of race car sanctioned by INEX. Designed primarily to promote exciting racing and to keep costs down, the specifications are closely regulated to keep the cars similar. The bodyshells are 5/8-scale replicas of American sedans and coupess from the 1930s and 1940s, powered by a Yamaha 1200cc motorcycle engine. Total price cannot exceed $12,995. Some of these cars are driven by racers who are still to young to attain a driver's license for the street.

Plenty of patronage for sister Class 313s 313055 & 313054 as they roll into Harringay with the 11.13 Hertford North to London Kings Cross on August 1st 2015. Using the same design of bodyshell the 313s were the genesis for the 507s that followed them from BREL York in 1978.
The build to this design which encompassed the Class 313/314/315/507 & 508s eventually totalled 755 individual cars and kept the production line at York Works busy until 1982.
The Peugeot 104 Coupe/Z- series was introduced in 1973 with the Citroen LN using the same bodyshell from 1975. Initially the LN used the 602cc air-cooled 2CV engine.
In 1982, the LN became the LNA, still available with the air-cooled unit, but also the 954 and 1124cc engines used in the 104.
The Talbot Samba was sold from 1981 to 1986, replacing the stopgap Sunbeam. The Samba used a stretched 104/LNA bodyshell with more modern bumpers and headlights from the later Sunbeam. Despite the similar appearance, the bonnet and tailgate are the only interchangeable body panels fitted to the Samba.

The Dolomite 1300 replaced the Toledo as the basic model in the range. The body was identical except for the lengthened body giving the larger boot of the original Dolomites. The 1300 retained the single square headlamps of the Toledo however there was no two-door option as there had been for the Toledo and the shorter-boot bodyshell of the Toledo ceased production. Standard equipment included a reclining front seats, cigar lighter, fasten seat belt warning light, driver's door mirror, twin reversing lights and a dipping rear view mirror. There was no overdrive or automatic transmission option with the 1300.

I actually dont like her as a character, and mainly got the doll because the faceup was the first tolerable from volks in a while, and as a minor surprise bonus the new DD F3 V2.0 body.
All poses are done without supports, and none of the poses are anything new that I havent done before, even with a DD2.
The V2.0 is still mostly the same style F3 frame underneath, with its irritations in a tweaked bodyshell, and the only real improvement has come from the neck notch, which has been a known retrofit for previous bodies since the DD2.

1953 Monarch custom car... The owner installed a modern drivetrain from a 1994 Cadillac STS (thus the rather tall front clip you see), he also installed the interior from the same car, the bodyshell of the car has been extended and the roof chopped, and of course the sliding doors for that extra touch...
The car has only been on the road for a couple of months and has already been a huge hit at car shows and has won a few awards, although I don't think that's why the owner built this car...
Unfortunately this was the best photo I got of the complete car, my apologies... :-)

A series of photographs documenting the release of GB Railfreight's Class 92, 92 044 "Couperin" from the Wabtec Brush works at Loughborough. 044 had spent exactly 14 months there for overhaul, reliability mods and new wheelsets. The assisting locomotive was a fellow Brush Traction machine, Class 60, 60 002 "Graham Farish 50th Anniversary 1970-2020".
The 60 had also been out of traffic for more than a year after a turbo fire. The Covid-19 pandemic had delayed repairs and then some additional mods were done as well as its immaculate repaint - the first GBRf loco repainted at DB Cargo's Toton depot.
This was the 60's first working for GBRf after its long spell in Toton and also its first run on the main line sporting its recently received new name commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Graham Farish.
This was also the first time two of GB Railfreight's Brush "cousins" - the Class 60 and Class 92 - had been together. The locos share a common bodyshell design, built by Procor in Wakefield, and have other similar components.
Potentially most historically of all, though - with the subsequent announcement the Brush Traction works are due to close by the end of the year - there's a good chance this was the last time a Class 60 will visit the place where the 100-strong class were built in 1989-1993.
GB's sole active grey 92 had lost its tunnel rings and Crewe Electric depot plaques whilst in Brush, but there are rumours of a new livery to come in due course. However, that won't be before it gets back to earning some coin for its owners (and DB!) with a brief visit to Crewe for a test run, before heading to Dollands Moor to resume tunnel duties.
60 002 ran from Toton as 0Z60 08:45 Toton TMD to Loughborough Brush, then moved 92 044 to Crewe ETD on 0Z61 09:58 Loughborough Brush to Crewe ETD, before the 60 then ran on solo to resume biomass duties on 0Z62 13:09 Crewe ETD to Tuebrook Sidings.
