Rarities
American Motors
Inspiring designs from the U.S.A. I love American motors. From their enormous winged land yachts to the thrum of their V8 motors. They are a very individual mode of transport that shouts to be recognised. Most prevalent is of course the Ford Mustang but there are also other brands and […]
Porsche 356
The Porsche 356 built between 1950 and 1965 is a design that can be said to have lasted the test of time. Hint of 911 is clearly visible. With a rear engine rear wheel drive set-up, it challenged the standard formula of engine location preferred by rivals. During its fifteen-year […]

Toyota Corolla Twin-Cam
Built between 1983-1987. A DOHC 16-valve engine, designated 4A-GE, was added in 1983 to rear-drive cars. As a 1587 cc inline-four, it produced 124 PS, turning the Corolla Twin Cam Coupé (Europe) into a sports hatch. Arguably the reason the Twin Cam did not prove as popular as some rivals […]
