Quirky cars?

[2work]

Morning all,

Here's a few shots of each of the quirky cars I've had over time. They may not be as unique as some of the above examples but I truly enjoyed tinkering with them and bringing them unto a very high standard prior to selling:

Saab 900 Turbo, engine highly modified:

Jaguar XJS 5.3 V12 HSE with TWR Bodykit:

Saab 900 Carlsson completely restored to a beutiful factory condition, really regret selling this:

There must be plenty more great classic/iconic/quirky cars out there. Im quite enjoying this thread, brings back memories from travelling around spotting weird and wonderful cars when I was a mere youngster in the back seat.

Kind regards,

Tom

Thought at first NSU RO80, but now thinking peugeot??

OK, I'm starting to run out of quirky cars I've owned now... just a couple to go, including this one (again, not the actual car, mine was 60s orange and was quickly named the 'squashed baked bean'. Mates can be so hurtful at times!!

Love the old Saab’s I’ve had several in my early years ? I worked for Saab aircraft for a couple of years early eighties .

Wheeler dealers have recently done a Saab 93 Viggen which is one I've never heard of but apparantly a quick car.

What’s the third one down Steve? Looks like a whacky racer.

It was based on a reliant three wheeler and was used for marketing purposes.
definitely not pleasing on the eye, but 100% QUIRKY!!

Yep,

Like your photo....

Think I had more quirky cars than girlfriends, though some of them (actually most...) were quite quirky too!

Inevitably, I thought the cars were cool, but the girlfriends didn't!..

Nice collection from @Birchall there.

What's the big muscle beast with the arches?

I can't quite get on board with electric yet; I love the technology but really don't believe it's the environmental panacea that it's being pushed as.

That was a Granada, we fitted the X pack wide-body kit, removed the handles and fitted remote “poppers” and it had a Rover V8 power plant (tuned).
