Hi all Have been snooping around for awhile and thought I should put on some of my retros past and present Had a few, the list includes TVR Chimaera 4.3 Mitsubishi EX2000 turbo Fiat coupe 20V turbo 4 x 2.8i Capris Escort MK2 1600 Sport Escort Mk2 RS2000 X-pack 4 x Mini Coopers Opel Manta Coupe The pictures show the cars from the last 3 years. They were all (expcept the Volvo) MOT failures or rough dogs which me and my brother have restored in all areas, even paint. Red 75 was my 3.0 V6, Giulietta was a full tarmac stage rally car ( bare shell MOT fail rebuild) had to sell it recently  The last 75 (multi coloured is my new race car which is being refreshed and I will post a few pictures when done. Finally the Volvo is my daily driver S70R manual.                  |

Nice collection. I do like a 164, had V6 lusso a few years back, very poised and they don't sound too bad either

To be honest the 164 24v Cloverleaf is one of my all time favourite sports saloons, i had a 164 Lusso it was my first Alfa. I loved that car.
Got to say i love your BMW 2 door in your avatar, driven alot of BM's but yet to own one, might be a replacement for the S70R eventually.
THanks for the praise, alot of people probably think i am so overpaid idiot but i do all the work on these to get them like this on a shoe string! I only drive a delivery van or HGV (depends where the work is)

Really nice collection. Not one car there that I don't like. :-)
I especially like the 164's. I have great memories of my Uncle's friend who had a red, early model with full factory option Zender kit and wheels. It was his company car so was only 2.0 but it was so cool to a 13 year old.

Thanks all,
I had the EX2000 before digital cameras and cant find any photos at the mo. I bought two of them to make one good one, both black. I wanted white but it was a rare find so beggers cant be.............!
Great car, kind of like a J Escort Mk2 with more power and better handling! Wait for the scorning!!!
Have been very lucky with car finds over the years and have been in positions to drive just about everything from Fiestas to Landies to HGV (previous career) to Audi R8 V10 and even bike engined kit cars!
Beemerland I will have a look through cheers

You can also see my first ever Volvo S70 T5, white ex police with 17" Propus alloys fab car!    |

Rollcage came from an ex factory rally car which we saved from a guy who was going to banger race it!!! Sprayed it white, made some perspex windows with sliders and bingo retro cool ! There was a Fiat 131 twin cam 2.0 engine with box and 44IDF's to go in but was offered a price I couldnt refuse from an irish guy so she went before I finished her.
