This Stingray was built for this years Bordeaux Vintage slot meeting. The theme was 1966 +67 Le Mans. This was my build using a Revell bodyshell which I modified like the real car.
Based on the Mini City bodyshell,the car was fitted with an MG Metro Turo engine,a full body styling kit,revised suspension and new interior.The result was a modern equivalent of the much-loved 1960's Mini Cooper S.

- Rare armoured version
- Particularly luxurious finish and equipment
- Used by Raymond Lévy, CEO of Renault
Keen to add a luxurious, extended-wheelbase version of the 25 to its range, Renault turned to the coachbuilder Heuliez, based in Cerizay, which had experience of working on models for other manufacturers. The version produced by Heuliez, which was lengthened by 23cm from the B-pillar back, was presented at the 1984 Paris Motor Show as the Renault 25 Limousine. Entirely built by Heuliez, some 830 Limousines were produced, making it a rare model.
The Limousine presented here is even more exceptional, as it is an armoured version with a reinforced bodyshell and special glazing, used in period by Raymond Lévy, Renault’s CEO. It should be noted that the vehicle registration document does not mention the armouring and that there has been no change to the gross vehicle weight rating.As well as having additional space and a small folding seat fitted as an extension to the centre console and facing the rear passengers, it features all the refinements specific to this very up-market model: separate rear seats in quilted leather, footrests, special lighting, wide armrests and special storage compartments ...
Externally, it is a phase 1 model which has been converted into a phase 2 version by replacing the front of the car; the Heuliez logo appears on the wide central pillar and the front bumper is fitted with two small flag holders, but the wheels (apparently from a Safrane) aren’t consistent with the original model. Its history file includes a note from the communications department, allocating the car in October 1995 to the Heritage department, although at the time it was still in the management car pool. We know that in June 1993 it had covered 45,151km. The odometer was reset to zero when the car was partially restored, and it still has its original registration document from 26 September 1985 in the name of ‘RNUR’ (the state-owned holding company for Renault) as well as its original registration number 7704 NK 92.
In decent condition and needing a service before being driven again, this very special Renault 25 will certainly appeal to lovers of rare and original models.

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.
GB Railfreight's class 69 diesel locomotive 69 003 'The Railway Observer' coupled to class 66 diesel locomotive 66 721 'Harry Beck' in its distinctive all-over London Underground map decals make for an interesting sight shortly after their arrival at the eastern end of platform 3 at Clapham Junction on the superb late morning of Tuesday 18th March 2025 with both locomotives operating the 0Y48 light locomotive movement from Eastleigh East Yard to Hoo Junction Up Yard in North Kent. Although both the class 66 and class 69 differ in terms of their design, their country of build and external appearance the only thing these locomotives have in common is that they are both fitted with the iconic and powerful General Motors EMD 710 diesel engine inside their bodyshells.

After Jaguar acquired Daimler (1960) they decided to fit Daimler's revered 2.5 litre V8 engine into the Jaguar MkII bodyshell. In doing so they produced one of the most desirable saloons of the 1960s, and in its seven year production run almost 18,000 were sold (an average of nearly 50 a week). Early models were badged as the 2.5 litre, with later cars (1967+) called the V8-250. Personally, I think this is one of the best looking British saloons of all time.
GERMANY: The first two TW3000 high-floor light rail vehicles entered passenger service on Route 7 in Hannover on March 15th 2015.
The two-section bidirectional air-conditioned articulated vehicles are 25 m long and 2 650 mm wide. They will replace the TW6000 cars, which are 30 years old. They will initially operate on Route 7 and then on Route 3 .These are cross city stadtbahn (tram) routes with a tunnelled section with stations in the city centre.
City transport operator Üstra placed an initial order for 50 LRVs from a consortium led by Vossloh Kiepe and including Alstom Transport in 2011. Around half of the €126m cost was funded from Land transport agency LNVG.
The contract includes an option for 96 LRVs, and Üstra ordered a further 50 in 2013 for €90m.
Vossloh Kiepe provided electrical equipment and Alstom has supplied specially designed compact bogies. The bodyshells were built in Salzgitter by Bozankaya, with other components coming from Düsseldorf. Final assembly was undertaken by HeiterBlick in Leipzig.
The first TW3000 LRV was presented to the public in March 2014; however, entry into service was delayed because of weld defects.

This is the third of the four Champions at the collection. the bodyshell is interesting in it's construction and design. The symmetrical design meant that the whole body could be made fron five pressings..
The infamous ZT 260 with the 4.6-litre V8 engine from the Ford Mustang and rear-wheel drive, but the same bodyshell as the standard FWD ZT as MG Rover supposedly spent so much money on re-engineering the floorpan to fit this drivetrain that there wasn't enough left for a new body.
The body shell already has a cavity in the license plate light; part of the molding process.
All that was needed to illuminate the license plate was to drill a hole and mount a 0805 size SMD LED.
Later we painted the inside and outside black, which got rid of the stray light shining through the plastic.
there's a abandoned car repair yard & garage about a mile from my house, this morning i had some spare time so i thought id go & have a look round, down the side of the garage are two reliant robin bodyshells this yellow one on it's side appears to be in better shape then the other one
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.

- Competed in the European Rally Championship in 1988, 1989 and 1990
- Incredibly well-preserved car, with documentation
- Ex-Carlos Antunes Tavares, future COO of Renault
This Renault 21 Turbo is remarkable above all for its authenticity, as it is exactly as it crossed the finishing line of the 1990 International Semperit Rally in Austria, the last event in which it competed, driven by Carlos Antunes Tavares with Jacky Racois as his co-driver. It finished 29th out of the 116 cars that started, and was the third-placed two-wheel drive car in its class. Remarkably well preserved, it still has the racing number 37 as well as advertising decals and various stickers from the scrutineering carried out for previous rallies. It entered the collection directly in January 1991 and was registered in Renault’s name. As can be seen from the transfer certificate, it had covered 17,818km at the time, and now has 17,821km on the clock!
Prepared for rallying in Group N and then Group A, it has a strengthened bodyshell with a roll cage and completely stripped-out interior, fitted with bucket seats, full harnesses and additional instruments.
With this specification, from 1988–1990 the car took part in several rallies in the European Championship, driven by Carlos Tavares, who was yet to become the business leader we know him as today, but rather a development engineer at Renault, working on the forthcoming Clio and Mégane. A motorsport enthusiast since he was a teenager, Tavares took part in various regional rallies from 1983 onwards, then in the European Championship, driving a Renault 5 Alpine and 5 GT Turbo before moving on to the 21 Turbo. Initially entered in in 1988 in Group N, for 1989 and 1990 the car ran in Group A, where the technical regulations were slightly less strict and where it developed nearly 220bhp. Tavares’ best result during this period was 13th overall on the Rali Vinho da Madeira in 1988, with Jean-Paul Retaillieu as his co-driver. In 1989, he also achieved fourth place in his class (and 15th overall) on the Arbö Rallye Steiermark in Austria, with Thierry Dubois, and third place in his class (in the promotional series) on the Rallye Alpin-Behra, with Retaillieu.
First presented in 1987, the 21 Turbo did not disappoint: with the help of a Garrett turbocharger, the output of its all-alloy four-cylinder SOHC engine went up to 175bhp, using a technology perfectly mastered by the company, thanks to its successes in Formula 1. With a top speed of over 220kph, the 21 Turbo was one of the quickest French saloons of its time, with a suitably aggressive appearance. In competition, it was particularly successful in 1988, dominating the Supertouring Championship that season, with Jean Ragnotti and Jean-Louis Bousquet behind the wheel. The car we are concerned with here competed in a more accessible category, where only a few modifications were allowed in the regulations, although this did not prevent the best engine tuners from extracting a little extra horsepower from it: as much as 230bhp for the 21 Turbo in Group A.
It is extremely unusual for a rally car to be stored away entirely unmodified at the end of its motorsport career. Still bearing the scars of its adventures in rallying, this example will not fail to appeal to fans of rally cars.

The bodyshell selectively painted. After the grey primer, white primer and white topcoat were applied to the lower panels, upper deck panels, back section of the roof and rear panel under the lower deck window. The bits that need to stay white will be masked off after work tomorrow, and excess spray dust on other panels will be removed with wet-and-dry. The bits that need to be red will be re-primed grey with two top coats of red. The yellow panels will be done last. I think, at the moment, that the red waistband that separates the yellow and white will be done as a decal - had the beading above and below it been red, then different story... All comes down to ease of masking, and there are too many of those rivets to risk paint being blown under the tape.

- 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.
