Two uploads in the space of 24 hours, I know it's intense.
I've seen hundreds of C63's (literally) with all of them being in either silver, black, white or a various shade of grey, but never in red!
I like the C63 a lot but it doesn't really fit in with what I like to post but having never seen a red one I thought I'd throw it up here. That and the fact it looks boss in red.
Still doesn't warrant it's own day though. :P
I'm going to a car show this coming weekend (June 2017) and decided to play with some older automobile photos I have to try various enhancement techniques.
I was trying for something a little softer and grungier than bright, shiny surfaces. I tried a different set of techniques on each of 3 photos.
Photo taken in 2013 at the Wexford Starlight Car Cruise (Wexford, PA) enhanced in 2017.

The BMW New Class (German: Neue Klasse) was a line of compact sedans and coupes produced by German automaker BMW between 1962 and 1977. The New Class ensured BMW's solvency after the company's financial crises of the 1950s and established the identity of BMW automobiles as sports sedans.
In 1969, BMW introduced the 2000tii ('touring international, injected'), BMW's first fuel-injected model, featuring Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection. The 2000tii produced 130 hp (97 kW) at 5,800 revolutions per minute and 131 lb•ft (178 N•m) at 4,500 revolutions per minute. 1,952 2000tii cars were built of this final New Class sedan model.
A 2002 tii Touring model was available throughout the run of the tii engine and the Touring body, both of which ended production in 1974.

In 1982 it was still possible to “bunk round” depots and on 9th May 1982 I am doing just that my local depot, Toton. Amongst a line of Class 08 shunters stabled in the yard is 08021.
Locomotive History
08021 was originally 13029 and then later under the 1957 renumbering scheme D3029. It was built at Derby Works and entered traffic October 1953. For the first half of its career it was based in the West Midlands with its first Allocation being Tyseley. In August 1960 it transferred to Stourbridge Junction and then to Bescot when Stourbridge closed in April 1967. It transferred to Toton in July 1968 (one of the Class 10 replacements) where it remained until withdrawn in December 1986. Following withdrawal it has entered preservation and is the resident shunter at the Tyseley Locomotive Works, its first home in 1953.
Toton Diesel Shunter Allocation – 1967/68
In the 1950’s and early 1960’s British Railways built/purchased around two thousand diesel shunters which replaced considerably more steam shunting engines. By the middle of the 1960’s changing operating methods and the reducing size of the network lead to a surplus of diesel shunting locomotives. Withdrawal commenced with the classes containing only a few locomotives however as the surplus grew a start was made on the larger less reliable classes.
I first started visiting Toton MPD in the summer of 1966 and in November 1966 Toton MPD had an allocation of twenty five diesel shunters. Over the next two years this fleet would be totally replaced and was also reduced to fifteen locomotives. The diesel shunter allocation in November 1966 consisted of four types of locomotive:
Class D2/2 - (TOPS class 03) –204bhp diesel mechanical shunter built by Swindon and Doncaster works between 1957 - 1961
Class D3/3 – 350bhp diesel electric shunter (mechanically a class 08) fitted with a Crossley ESNT6 engine and Crompton Parkinson electrical equipment, built by Derby Works in 1955.
Class D3/4 - (TOPS class 10) –350bhp diesel electric shunter (mechanically a class 08) fitted with a Blackstone ER6T engine and GEC electrical equipment built by Darlington and Doncaster Works between 1953 and 1962.
Class D3/8 (TOPS class 11) - 350bhp diesel electric shunter (the prototype for the class 08) fitted with an English Electric 6KT engine and English Electric electrical equipment built at Derby Works between 1945 and 1952.
Those allocated were as follows
Class D2/2 (class03) – D2116
Class D3/3 – D3117 – D3126 (complete class)
Class D3/4 (class 10) – D3476/93/95/97-99, D3500-02, D3632
Class D3/8 (class 11) – 12038/55/63/82
Of note is D2116 which had officially arrived in September 1966 but despite regular visits at this time I can not personally ever recall seeing it at Toton.
The first change was the transfer of the four D3/8 locomotives in November/December 1966 (with 12038 going to Speke Junction and 12055/63/82 going to Crewe) and the withdrawal of four of the class D3/3 locomotives D3122-24/26. These were replaced by eight class D3/4 locomotives, D3446/47/48/49/50 from Peterborough, D3452/75 from Tinsley and D3473 from Doncaster.
In April 1967 a further class D3/3 locomotive was withdrawn D3121 and in July 1967 the remaining five class D3/3 locomotives D3117-20/25 were withdrawn.
In September 1967 the class D2/2 locomotive D2116 was transferred to Barrow
In November 1967 the first two class D3/2 (TOPS class 08) locomotives D3400/02 arrived from Cardiff
In December 1967 two further class D3/2 locomotives D3050 and D3997 arrived from Willesden and Bescot respectively as did two class D3/4 locomotives D3442/89 from Colwick however a start was made on withdrawing the D3/4 locomotives with the withdrawal of D3449.
So the situation at the end of 1967 was an allocation of twenty five diesel shunters (the same total as November 1966) of only two types:
Class D3/2 (class 08) - D3050, D3400/02, D3997
Class D3/4 (class 10) – D3442/46-50/52/73/75/76/89/93/95/97-99, D3500-02, D3632.
This was to be the high point as over the next nine months twenty of the class D3/4 locomotives were withdrawn with the remaining one D3497 being transferred to Colwick. As replacements eleven class D3/2 locomotives arrived, D3021/25/29/34/36/37 from Bescot, D3026 from Tyseley, D3039 from Derby and D3340/45/90 from the Scottish Region (Thornton Junction, Dunfermline and Eastfield respectively). One class D3/4 D3490 also arrived from Colwick but was withdrawn one month later.
So by September 1968 in less than two years the Toton diesel shunter allocation was totally replaced initially by additional class D3/4 (class 10) locomotives which were in turn quickly withdrawn and replaced by class D3/2 (class 08) locomotives. Also in the first nine months of 1968 the fleet was significantly reduced, being reduced from twenty five to fifteen locomotives as follows.
D3/2 (class 08) – D3021/25/26/29/34/36/37/39/50, D3340/45/90, D3400/02, D3997
As a young spotter this meant plenty of new “cops” on a regular basis.

Facel was a French manufacturer of automobiles from 1954 to 1964.
The company was named after the original metal stamping company FACEL, and the company's first model, the Vega, named after the star, was introduced at the 1954 Paris Auto Show. The cars were advertised with the slogan For the Few Who Own the Finest.
Initially successful, the company failed after the debut of its mechanically troubled Facellia model.

The Jaguar E-Type (UK) or XK-E (US) is a British automobile, manufactured by Jaguar between 1961 and 1975. Its combination of good looks, high performance, and competitive pricing established the marque as an icon of 1960s motoring. A great success for Jaguar, more than 70,000 E-Types were sold during its lifespan.
Open headlights without glass covers, a wrap-around rear bumper, re-positioned and larger front indicators and tail lights below the bumpers, better cooling aided by an enlarged "mouth" and twin electric fans, and uprated brakes are hallmarks of Series 2 cars. De-tuned in US with twin strombergs and larger valve clearances, but still with triple SUs in the UK and the much tighter valve clearances, the engine is easily identified visually by the change from smooth polished cam covers to a more industrial "ribbed" appearance. Late Series 1½ cars also had ribbed cam covers. The interior and dashboard were also redesigned, with rocker switches that met US health and safety regulations being substituted for toggle switches. The dashboard switches also lost their symmetrical layout. New seats were fitted, which purists claim lacked the style of the originals but were certainly more comfortable. Air conditioning and power steering were available as factory options.
Production according to Graham is 13,490 of all types.

Yep, British Leyland actually did this, they put a chrome conk on an Allegro and decked it out with picnic tables, leather seats, wood veneer and even its own Champagne glasses!
This would be a charming gesture, if it weren't for the fact that this isn't a large limousine or saloon car, but instead a four door family shopping car! The irony is also that the Allegro had notoriously small rear-legroom, which is a bit of a major design flaw for a car that's built for the purpose of it being chauffeur driven!
