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.

At many times in their history Triumph offered a large number of variations on a small number of basic designs.

Here the Herald formed the basis of the Vitesse, and the 2000 & 2.5 used the same bodyshell.

All the registrations are Coventry issues.

Peugeot 205 'Look' 1.0 L. After the 1.0L engine gave up, I got MMC to fit a secondhand 1360cc unit from a Citroen AX GT. I fitted the genuine Peugeot wheel arch extensions and side mouldings, despite being told by Morrison Motors that it could not be done to a non GTi bodyshell. Brian sourced the front and rear valances, the Devil exhaust and secondhand alloys. I refurbished the alloys and Brian fitted the Renault Clio rear wiper arm.

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.

A closer view of GB Railfreight's rebuilt class 69 diesel locomotive 69 004 in its mock-1980s British Rail Research Department rail blue & red livery approaching platform 5 at Clapham Junction in charge of the 4Y19 Mountfield to Southampton Western Docks gypsum train. In all fairness this non-prototypical livery does seem to fit rather nicely on the bodyshell of 69 004 with the BR double-arrow logos applied on the cabsides setting this one-off livery style to this new breed of British diesel locomotive perfectly.

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.

The VAZ-2101 is a compact sedan car (small class, passenger car, model 1 in Soviet classification) produced by AvtoVAZ and introduced in 1970. The estate version was known as the VAZ-2102. VAZ had been founded in the mid-1960s as a collaboration between Fiat and the Soviet government, and the 2101 was its first product. Better known as the Lada outside the former Soviet Union, the 2101 is a re-engineered version of the Fiat 124 tailored for the nations of the Eastern Bloc, but was widely exported to the West as a budget "no-frills" car. Although the facelifted VAZ-2105, 2104 & 2107 versions largely replaced it in the West in the early 1980s, it was still produced for the domestic market as late as 1988.

Known as the Zhiguli within the Soviet Union, the main differences between the VAZ-2101 and the Fiat 124 are the use of thicker gauge steel for the bodyshell, an overhead camshaft engine (in place of the original Fiat OHV unit), and the use of aluminium drum brakes on the rear wheels in place of disc brakes. Early versions of the car featured a starting handle for cranking the engine manually should the battery go flat in Siberian winter conditions, and an auxiliary fuel pump.

AvtoVAZ were forbidden from selling the car in competing markets alongside Fiat 124; however, exports to Western European nations began in 1974 when the 124 was discontinued in favour of Fiat's newer 131 Mirafiori model. The 2101 was sold in export markets as the Lada 1200, Lada 1300 and Lada 1200S until 1989; it was sold in the United Kingdom from May 1974, until the arrival of the Riva in 1983. It was the first Lada to be sold in the United Kingdom.

The world may consider the Volkswagen Golf GTi as the worlds most influential Hot Hatchback, but it wasn't the first. That distinction went to the Chrysler Sunbeam. A Talbot bodyshell powered by 155 of Chryslers finest Brake-Horsepowers, producing an astonishing top speed of 125mph and a 0-60mph of 8.3 seconds.

It truly was the first of the many practical but powerful cars that would come to shape motoring in the 1980's, killing off the traditional sports car and giving new meaning to the anarchistic times just around the corner. More often than not you'd find Hot Hatchbacks in the hands of hoodlums who would use them for Ram-Raiding Supermarkets and generally causing mischief. So much so that eventually insurance rates on cars such as these were forced higher so as to deter youths from buying them.

With future sales forecasts likely to remain low, Chrysler had planned on discontinuing the Imperial at the end of the 1973 model year. While image and appearance were an important part of luxury car appeal, without sales Chrysler could not afford to build an Imperial with a unique bodyshell.

A front-end design envisioned for the next Imperial penned by Chrysler/Imperial exterior studio senior stylist Chet Limbaugh came to the attention of Elwood Engel. It featured a "waterfall" grille with thin vertical chrome bars separated by a body-colored band running through the center, which started on top of the nose and flowed down.

To save money the 1974 model would use the same body panels as the Chrysler New Yorker except for the front end clip and trunk lid. This meant that for the first time as a separate marque, the Imperial would share the same wheelbase as a production Chrysler.

With the full effects of the 1973 oil crisis being solidly felt, a bad year for both the U.S. economy and its auto industry was in store for 1974 - cruel timing for Chrysler's 50th anniversary year. The "by Chrysler" script was removed from the car for 1974. The Imperial's electronic ignition system was a U.S. market first, as was the optional car alarm.

While total sales were down from 1973, Chrysler was pleased with the 14,483 Imperials produced, given the poor economy in 1974 and a retail price of $7,230 for the sedan.

- Replica inspired by the runner-up in the 1989 Supertouring Championship

- Displayed at the 1991 Bangkok Motor Show

Started in 1976, the Production, then Superproduction and Supertouring Championship quickly became very popular as the saloons competing looked similar to the standard production versions. In 1987, Renault decided to enter it with its newly introduced 21 Turbo. Totally modified, the car received a partly tubular chassis, a lighter body, four-wheel drive and an engine prepared by Sodemo, taking its power from 175 to 430 bhp. Driven by Jean Ragnotti and Jean-Louis Bousquet, the R21 brazenly dominated the 1988 season, Ragnotti winning the title and the two drivers together notching up six wins over the ten rounds that year.

The following year, changes to the regulations led to the engine being installed longitudinally rather than transversely. The car was no longer in Renault’s colours but those of Philips Car Stereo, and despite a difficult start to the season, it finished as the runner-up with 11 pole positions out of 14.

The car offered today is a display model inspired by car number 21 from the 1988 season, with a stripped-out steel bodyshell, roll cage, bucket seat and the running gear from a standard R21. It was displayed at the 1991 Bangkok Motor Show before joining the collection at a very early stage. With no engine, it represents an absolutely spectacular show car for any Supertouring fan.

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.

Alfa Romeo Junior Z

The Junior Z was created by Zagato using the short-wheelbase Type 105 chassis from the Spider, and the five-speed gearbox from the Giulietta. It was an arresting-looking coupé that added real variety to the Alfa Romeo line-up, but unlike earlier Alfa-Zagatos, it was not conceived for racing, nor was it particularly lightweight - it featured a steel bodyshell with an aluminium bonnet and aluminium door-skins (on the earlier 1300 JZs).

The sloping front and Kamm tail were certainly a world apart from the well-crafted classicism of the rest of the Giulia-derived cars, but no less appealing for it. The Junior Zagato was a little lighter and more aerodynamic than the standard cars so it was a bit quicker too. Considering its coachbuilt status, values are surprisingly low.

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.

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.

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... :-)

The Australian Morris 1100 and its 1275 cc counterpart, the Morris 11S were replaced in mid-1969 by the Morris 1500 as expensive reworking of the A-series engine would have been required for tightening exhaust emissions. The car was effectively a hybrid car developed (in the UK) specifically for the Australian market, and using a lightly-modified MkII ADO16 bodyshell but with the 1500cc E-series engine of the Austin Maxi. Interestingly, the automatic version of this car retained the 1275cc A-series engine, as was thus known as the Morris 1300.

31 Land Rover 101 Forward Controls 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 side 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.
