👍 Great stuff guys! Never 'liked' so many posts on a page before

Pretty sure the Robin Hamilton Astons that Heldenzeit posted were the same car - just heavily modified over the years.

Is this a heavily heavily modified FB or something? Looks funky.

A couple Special Saloons more.

And Super Saloons.

The GEAB Esprit reminds me a lot of the KRB Esprit.

Esprit Super Saloon?

This is one that a good friend of my dad and uncle raced. When the DRM (precursor to the DTM) came to the UK in 1980 for a one off race, he entered it against all the 'works' Zakspeed Capri's, Joest 935 Porsches and Schnitzer BMWs etc. He qualified 4th and lead until a plug issue made him drop out. In car literally built in a farm shed.

The esprit was later bought by another friend of theirs who re-bodied the chassis with a Skoda-looking shell. A popular body style used in the latter years of Special Saloons, due to it being one of few mid-engined saloon cars around.

(Not sure if any of the above Skodas are that one mentioned)

Longest name for a car ever.

The one race car that moves me like no other. I do get emotional looking at it.

Let's bring this beauty again. And this time, I got lucky. Real damn lucky, I bloody mean it.

ScheiBe! Now *THAT* is a true beemer.

And let's also throw a 190e in the mix.

And another Merc.

So, those are kinda... sponsored by Fuji Speeedway? I mean, sponsored so they can be built, not raced?

More like fully supported, so they were created in cooperation with Sekiya Masanori and the circuit. It's basically Pro/Am endurance racing.

That is very very cool. And they look fantastic. Specs/info?
