Does any other car have a side hinge bonnet?
David
The Bristol 401 (Touring) went one better, by having a bonnet hinged on both sides, so you could choose from which side to access the engine bay. Really an evolution of the pre-war style of bonnet with a piano hinge in the centre... And then there's this. Who knows what it is?  |

Indeed. The TRX 'Bullet' Roadster http://www.kdb38.dial.pipex.com/roadster/roads6.htmA lot more forward looking in styling terms than the TRs that followed it. |

What a coincidence, I've been having a look at this today in the Museum at Gaydon, while at the AutoItalia day, very smart. Brian 8227  |

And a Nuovo Delta turbo diesel I was privileged to test drive in South Africa in 2008. (Note disguise striping - at the time Lancia flatly denied there was any testing going on.)

Here's one of a woman's Fulvia - Carol's "Tigger". The singing and dancing deedle-dude mascot is strategically placed to distract concours judges from the underbonnet paintwork.  The nearby red ID plate shows that Tigger was assembled in South Africa by Daihatsu. |

The Voboril Kappa torpedo taken in Turin 1981. (I believe he cast new pistons for it when it was rebuilt around then.)

The colour code on the HT leads is interesting. I also love that style of fuel hose, and the way the metal (copper?) pipes are jointed downstream.
Now when did proper air filters appear on front line racing cars... Those might keep cats out but not the mice.
Have been loving the others as well... In particular the HUGE intercoolers.

Keeping up with these high standards is hard work.
1) Aurelia prototype 538 engine in an Aprilia, a reinstallation of what was done in 1946....
2) D24 motor
3) Aprilia Nardi setup

Thanks Brian, that's wonderful, and gives me a good point of departure to find something.
