BAUR TC3

The BAUR TC3, designed by ISDERA (Their Commendatore 112i being one of my all time favorite cars) for BAUR, based on an E30 BMW. The project was stopped by BMW because of their own upcoming Z1 project. So this is number one of one.

Th Jaguar E-Type is the on car Enzo Ferrari said was the most beautiful car ever made. Going above and beyond that are the people from Eagle...the cars they turn out are absolutely stunning. And the Eagle Speedster is probably the most stunning of them all! If I won the lottery tomorrow I know where Id be headed...





Thats some skills right there! Both on the bikrs side aaand the photographers!


Bizzarrini GT 1971

In an of themselves Bizzarrinis are already pretty unique cars. Not a lot were made when the factory was up and running, but this particular GT is even more unique as it was built long after the factory closed down. On top of that it uses a Lamborghini V12 instead of the usual Chevrolet V8s that were used previously.

This car was built by an ex Bizzarrini worker Giancarlo Riali using a Lamborghini 400GT/Jarama chassis. The body was left over after the Bizzarrini factory shut down and so Mr Riali used it to rebody the Jarama.

Its quite an interesting what if...a period body on a period chassis from a direct competitor. Makes one wonder what either company could have done, Lamborghini styling wise, and Bizzarrini engine and suspension wise.







Maserati Shamal Spyder by OPAC 1992

Unique and a one-off prototype of the Maserati Spyder. This car was intended as a successor of the 1980s Maserati Biturbo Spyder. It was first presented in 1994 at the motor show in Turin. In the beginning of 2000 this car ended up in the hands of a Dutch collector which has maintained the car perfectly. It was also regularly driven. Biturbo V8 engine is connected to a 5 speed gearbox. Technical specifications are identical to the Shamal. The manufacturer OPAC has also built a hardtop to make it complete.
