I know it's not a sterling but I thought the pictures were cool deffently from the same era.

Craziest Automotive Concept Ever, Lancia Stratos HF Zero, Bertone 1970 : theCHIVE

Here is that same car in my shop before I restored it for the Fiat museum.

My all time favorite concept. And you had one in your shop Roger!!!! Jealous!! And disappointed you didn't make molds..... or did you

 

[ratrog64]

Nah, I was just busting Brian's balls. I think there was only one and those are photos of it being restored. Love that car and you know for sure I'd have the molds if I ever had my hands on it.

 

[ratrog64]

Another awesome creation.

There was a picture of this one somewhere next to a Purvis Eureka incarnation of the Nova, and believe it or not this was smaller!

edit : found them

That is cool, lots of ideas coming into mind, I was also thinking of using the rear seats from a sports saloon or 2+2 like that as a fixed 'bench' but thought better of it as it also meant movable pedals (as per Marcos) and steering wheel, etc a lot more work *thumbs down*
I do like that separate door opening/sill idea though, Hmmm, it's not too late.*hmmm*

This is another of my favorite kits there's a local guy that scored an created unbuilt one for 3,000 off eBay and that came with a custom chassis so I'm guessing all of them did. Very cool car!

Manta Mirage

[RangerBEH]

That is deffently on my list of cars to own one day! What am I doing wrong with image posting?

What am I doing wrong with image posting?

Dunno.. do you preview your posts before you post?

 

[RangerBEH]

No just attach an image, I only use an iPad but I used to not have issues so I'm not sure what changed.

There are some great cars out there I like the Manx SR also I know you had one rick.

Pasting the link doesn't work either, sorry for the inconvenience guys.

Here's a nice one for sale in TX if anyone has cash burning a hole in their pocket! Always happy to help *thumbs up* *na-na-na* *yipes*

I have always like the SR. Seen a few for sale here in FL but they always seem to have a hefty price tag.

RangerBEH...right after you load files/pictures on a post, click back on the paper clip attach icon on top bar, then click the link it pulls down. This enables you to display your picture/s in the post and not just the link. Works for me anyway with WIN7.

Use jpeg files no larger than 1200 x 1200 dpi with max file size of 293.0 KB.

Hope that helps.

I wasn't aware this car existed until just the other day when mentioned by a friend.

AMX 3 Pretty slick and certainly a good example of the 60's / 70's. It was however just a concept car.

Recently one of these cars that needed complete restoration sold on ebay for $235,899.

Lola Mk6 GT

Jay Leno Garage worth a watch!

Not quite 70's, but certainly inspirational!
