Welcome to GALPOT Weekly #62 a review of the last seven posts at "
Gettin a li'l psycho on tyres" a blog on all things motoring.
The week started with a spot of Festive window shopping at Hall & Hall in Bourne, Lincs where this
1970 Yardley BRM P153 chassis #3 was one of many fascinating vehicles on display.
MG's TF model, like the one featured above on Tuesday, proved to be the last British 2 seat MG built before MG Rover collapsed in 2005 wich saw most of the assets being transferred to Chinese owners Nanjing.
Wednesdays Continental Curiosities blog featured one of just 83 Zastava / Yugo of all types known to remain on British roads. The
Zastava 102 above was marketed as the Yugo 65AGLX.
Americana Thursday featured the
1990 25th Anniversary Ford Mustang seen above which was fitted with airbags as standard for the first time.
Ferrari Friday featured the first of two of this weeks prototype Formula One Cars that never raced in anger, the
Ferrari 312 B3 Spazzaneve, snow plough, was designed to test theories of low polar moments of inertia by Mauro ‘Fury’ Forghieri in 1972 in preparation for the 1973 season.
Yesterdays post featured the
Lotus Ford 86 another prototype
Formula One car that never raced, due to a change in regulations.
Today's post features this extraordinary 1921 Rolls Royce Brockman 40/50, one of at least three Royces known to have been fitted with a copper body.
