    “When these were first introduced into the UK in late 1974 Porsche GB Ltd would not allow anyone to test drive one without first having been driven by and vetted by 11 time Le Mans competitor and race driver Nick Faure. Nick is known as Mr. Porsche and is a guru of the marque. (As an aside, Nick co-drove my March BMW M1 Group 5 race car in the 1980s and came in from practice laps ashen faced and pronounced it the scariest car he had ever driven). An interesting and entertaining drive report can…”

    A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

    “I don’t think Frankenstein is an issue in Aston Martin world. Many are upgraded to Vantage spec, many DB4/5/6 are built to 4.7 Vantage spec. Like Panteras and aircooled Porsches, there’s no shame in that. I think it’s only in the US musclecar world that originality is a MUST. I think that’s because there were so many made and so many customised in the day, that originality is their only rare virtue. But with a car that only 3,500 were made in a 22 year production run, sympathetic modifications…”

    “Very happy to have won this e12. I owned a 1980 528i for 12.5 years until it was crushed by a massive oak tree limb. The e12 is my favorite car in the world.”

    “Dad had a Del Ray Skylounger when we were kids. The bunk above the cab could be made into seats. We loved riding up there (no such thing as seat belts, of course).”

    “So an observation of a very obscure Honda factoid. This car has the dealer installed, recall program Takata black plastic guides still in place on the front seat belt latches. The Honda and Acura recall notice back then stated there were complaints about the front seat belts not latching properly. This was Takata’s solution. There was a rumor published at the time saying Honda’s president attributed the problem to us Americans spilling our soft drinks into the latches. Funny, he was…”

    “As a Viper enthusiast, I’ve always found myself drawn to the unique, well-optioned examples, particularly the cars that came through the GTC 1 of 1 program.
    I tend to break the Gen V ACRs into three general categories. First are the more race-focused 3-speaker ACRs, with 456 produced. Second are the factory Special Editions — GTS-R, VooDoo II, Snakeskin, 1:28 and Dealer Edition — which account for 214 cars in total. Finally, there are the 290 GTC ACRs, a little over 100 of which…”

    “For reference, the H2R is capable of pushing speeds well over 225, with some claims upwards of 250 mph, while cranking out almost 330 hp. The supercharger has to spin almost 10 times faster than the crank, so at full rev the impeller is spinning approximately 130,000 rpm and pumping over 50 gallons of compressed air into the motor every second. It was designed and developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries’ aerospace division.
    Impressive engineering, don’t you think?”

    “This model was developed as a competition Enduro machine with the help of John Penton, who rode one to the AMA National Enduro Championship in 1969, it’s first year of production. Malcom Smith also earned a gold medal with one in the ISDT. Unlike the Cross and other HVA models, it did not have a fully floating rear brake. Riders preferred the Cross models for desert racing. For the Baja, Smith ran the 8-Speed in a Cross chassis.

    “What a neat rig with an incredible pedigree! And you won’t need to bring a trailer because it’s too precious. Just drive it home and enjoy it.
    I don’t have a lot to add on top of what others have said about Harold Allen except to say that many years ago I came into a collection of his Stroppe-related photos from Ford Motor Company and I’m forever grateful for those.
    I think this is the only Bronco I know of that was owned by one of Ford’s off road racing stars that has come to market in…”
