TVR Chimaera in either 4.0 or 4.3 liter guise. Cars were from the early to mid 1990's. Crazy cars. But really unique.

Wow, the props. But that nostril thing on the nose seems like a max drag solution.

Oh I know that one!!

It's "teal."
Or dark turquoise.
Or "green."

My much older brother at one time had one of the tiny 60's TVR coupes with a supposed MGB race engine installed, but it didn't run. It was slowly sinking into the mud at 7500' in Colorado. He had three TR3 shells in various states of sinking into the mud. Big plans, I think he gave them all away.

That isn’t a Jag with that beautiful grille? He’s not currying any favo(u)r picking on the mods.

Healey Elliot, '47-51-ish, morphed into Nash Healey at some point. This one is (mostly) just green.

A Healey woody shooting brake, really! I am sending that to my Britcar friends.

The Riley I would not call a thing of beauty really, Riley.

Oh, EDIT, the red one is also a Healey, with a snout.
