Automotive

I stop at VU every once in awhile on Saturdays to see what's new in the windows.  Oddly this morning I walked over and the door opened!  I walked in and said to the guy there "I didn't think you were open Saturdays."  He explained he was waiting for a tour group but said that I was welcome to come in and look around.  Here's some of what I saw:  GLAS BMW, Datsun 710 2-door Coupe and a Tiger.   










This car is apparently quite rare.  He's having a hard time finding accurate reference photos for the interior.  So if anyone here has one, or has interior photos he'd probably appreciate it!
























My Tiguan dreaming...




Couldn’t resist a wrist shot

. . . a common sight, like Triumph Spitfires and Porsche 356s.  No more . . . the oldies are getting retired to garages.

...sitting out in front of what was Carrol Shelby's garage in Venice where they built Cobras. SoCal was amazing that way. I was sitting at an on-ramp in the Marina once and glance out the window and saw a tiny little garage/shop that said "Iskenderian" on the door. Blew me away!

I dream of finding a cool car and stripping it down to refresh it. Update some electrical, brakes, hoses. My and your Tiguan…. Dreamers 

What would you choose to work on if you had the time, space and money?

so I probably would have a 964 with NA motor increased displaced and management, rs bumpers and door cards, the interior with rivets, no back seats, full mechanicals. Just off the top of my head.

...which is an early E-Type or a '68 Stingray.

I especially like the BMW and what I can see of the Jaguar E Type.

The Glas V8 is a V8-engined coupé produced by Hans Glas GmbH at Dingolfing. The car was first presented in September 1965 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, where it became nicknamed the "Glaserati" because of its Frua design, which shared many themes with contemporary Maseratis.

I love your 'Tiguan dreaming of becoming an E-Type' shot 😁👍

Gotta keep Dreamin'

I would like to see the TR6 in the first picture when it is finished.
