British Motorshow Pics

[cul202]

I'd thought I'd do something other than drinking pints so I went along to the motorshow that was on here in London last week. The show was quite a bit smaller than I was expecting but quite a few low production supercars were featured.

I'll post some more pics up later - higher res ones available as well

**not sure why this posted 3 times & only once with the pics**

The 1st pic is a smallish handmade car by Connaught (made successful GP cars 50 years ago). Its got a supercharged 2L V10 & runs to 100 in 4sec or so.

The blue Bristol behind the Ford GT is worth 260K Quid

Go the speed 12

What brand of motor does that Connaught have ????????? a 2litre V10 is strange

[mad082]

2.0L v10 would rev like a bitch. thats about what indy cars run.

[Wink]

The TVR looks beasty.

Is that the new Lancia Stratos?

[ctjet]

God damn new cars are getting stranger looking every day

... indy cars run 3ltr V8's dont they

[cul202]

The V10 is designed (& made I think) in house by Connaught & has only 22.5 deg between the banks. Its a tiny car but still a proper 4 seater. I got given a full run down by 2 of the Designer/Engineers & they will be releasing a hybrid version that gets 42mpg & 6sec to 100.

The Stratos was just a mock-up & I don't believe it is an in house concept for Lancia.

Hows the orange wing-on-wheels? Didn't end up getting to chat to the lot on that cars stand unfortunately

You missed the Evo! How could you!

Cool pics none the less. Some mates on another forum have some pics of a Veyron in London in a showroom and at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Very tasty indeed

That orange thing looks like fun

I hope you're helping to diminish the local brews while you're over there

That Connaught looks really interesting.

Whats the go with the 260K Bristol? Did the Queen wet herself in it?

Steve - Been greatly reducing the beer levels as expected

Rezz - The Connaught was probably the most interesting car there for mine. Bristols have always been uber expensive, & that model is the most pricey one

More pics...

Do you reckon those two birds behind the blue Sagaris are discussing the cars at the show? Why aren't they lying over the cars and adding extra value to the shot? Back to work bisshes
