E30 Toyota Corolla?

The owner of the Xpeng P7 has been on the internet:

Not just that, it's a personalized plate, so he paid at least like 800 euro for that.

A very nice and (British Racing) green Morgan I saw yesterday:

Came across this today, anyone know what that yellow car is? Looks like something American from the 70s...

 

[DaBoom]

AMC Javelin, I think.

 

[Eye-Q]

Yup, it's a 73/74 Javelin.

 

[Blind_Io]

I concur - pretty rare spot too.

 

[73GMCSprint]

Looks a little short. I think it's a Javelin AMX. Javelin has a back seat, AMX is just a 2-seater. Either way they're pretty rare on this side of the pond too.

 

[CraigB]

For sure a Javelin that @marcos_eirik spotted. The AMX was shorter and has a much different rear pillar/window shape.

This weekend was the (now annual) car show in my town. They close off the entire town centre, a zone that's actually growing every year, and fill it with interesting cars. I don't take many photos so I can drool over the cars, but I had to take a photo of this TVR that I've never seen before.



It's a 1975 3000M, something I've never come across before and that isn't even on HowManyLeft. They only made a small number of 'M' cars per year, apparently 50 in 1975, making this a rare beast. The shape reminds me of the old Triumph GT6 and it has a 3 litre Ford Essex V6 under the bonnet.

It was sold at auction last month, so a load more pictures and historical information are available on the auction site:

Is this special or not?



Just a couple more:

On a trip to the lovely Lofoten islands in northern Norway I saw this lovely C3 Corvette with a plastic hood scoop, side pipes, flame stickers, and fat tires:

 

[Redliner]

Removing those flame stickers would be a massive improvement.

 

[Tram]

It took me a while to notice it, but the hood ones are in the opposite direction.

Pystylamppu-Carina or in the other words Toyota Carina TA14.

 

[marcos_eirik]

Today I spotted this old Mercedes van:

(Note behind the wind shield says it’s for sale.)

I also found this, a well kept Opel Rekord with no visible rust:

And something more modern, a Corvette C6 Z06:

 

[Blind_Io]

That van is super cool, I've never seen one before.

 

[NecroJoe]

It took me a while to notice it, but the hood ones are in the opposite direction.

it's a suprisingly-not-uncommon thing, even on high-cost, fully-custom paint jobs.

It makes sense on one car, though:
