The Sunbeam 3 litre was manufactured between 1924 and 1930. About 315 specimens were built within this period. A special feature of this car is the engine with two overhead camshafts. At that time this technical design, which now is common, was very rare. The car is equipped with a 4-speed gearbox and reaches a top speed of about 150 km/h
Italy : 1975 - 1982

Note : the US export model was named Scorpion, because Chevrolet had already used the name Montecarlo.
Also, it was equipped with a smaller 1,8 litre engine giving 40 horsepower less than the European version.
This was required by the US emission norms.
It also fitted round headlights and huge bumpers, ruining partly the Pininfarina design.
A very welcome sight on a dull Turin morning in 2018.
This could be a Special T, which had a twincam engine, but I suspect this is a regular 124 Special, introduced in 1970.

The MGA is a sports car that was produced by MG from 1955 until 1962.
Annual, Whimper Wonderland Run,
A high-performance Twin-Cam model was added for 1958. It used a high-compression (9.9:1 later 8.3:1) DOHC aluminium cylinder head version of the B-Series engine producing 108 hp (81 kW; 109 PS). Due to detonation problems, a 100 bhp (75 kW; 101 PS) low-compression version was introduced later. Four-wheel disc brakes by Dunlop were fitted, along with Dunlop peg drive knock-off steel wheels similar to wheels used on racing Jaguars, unique to the Twin-Cam and "DeLuxe" MGA 1600 and 1600 MkII roadsters. These wheels and chassis upgrades were used on a small number of the "DeLuxe" models built after Twin-Cam production came to a halt. Aside from the wheels, the only outside identifier was a "Twin-Cam" logo near the vent aside the bonnet. A careful look at the rear wheel vents would also reveal another feature unique to Twin-Cam and DeLuxe: those four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes mentioned above.
2,111 (2,210 according to some) produced.
An open car was tested by The Motor magazine in 1958 and was found to have a top speed of 113 mph (182 km/h), acceleration from 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in 9.1 seconds and a fuel consumption of 27.6 miles per imperial gallon (10.2 L/100 km; 23.0 mpg‑US) was recorded. The test car cost £1,283 including taxes of £428.

Never seen an 'SE' spec before. Must be rare. I love seeing the NX's. I just wish I could find the 'shooting brake' version with the wagon like back piece.
This old guy was parked in a street in the 'Archipel'-area in The Hague, The Netherlands. Very shiny and in good condition. Just around the corner I met the MG Midget. I think they were friends, but they didn't tell me.
A series of portraits of classic cars from the 50's, 60's and 70's of the past century, which I met accidentally on the streets. Streetphotography in a different way.
