Most involve VW running gear, fiberglass bodies, awkward proportions, and are little more than mockeries of the cars they're intended to replicate.<br /><br />This home-built Maserati 250F, on the other hand, represents a very nice product that should be within the reach of lots of prospective buyers. I don't think I'll ever own a real 250F, originals are worth around ~$3 million, but it seems like this would get pretty close to providing the same visceral experience.<br /><br />The car was built in the UK, is aluminum bodied, and is powered by a BMW 2.5L straight-six with three Weber 40DCOE's. It is road legal, hence the tiny cycle fenders. <br /><br />While I'm not crazy about a German powerplant in a replica 250F, it has to be very quick and I bet it sounds terrific. The builder currently has no plans to sell these to anyone but I'd like to convince him otherwise. <br /><br /><center><br /><br /><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7028/6830400993_ab0afa183a_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 912px; height: 608px;" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7028/6830400993_ab0afa183a_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7153/6830401621_2a60b17ec9_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 912px; height: 608px;" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7153/6830401621_2a60b17ec9_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7159/6830402033_fbbcafd535_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 912px; height: 608px;" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7159/6830402033_fbbcafd535_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7031/6830400853_cbe7db0726_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 912px; height: 608px;" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7031/6830400853_cbe7db0726_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7019/6830401307_c8dd64ae47_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 912px; height: 608px;" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7019/6830401307_c8dd64ae47_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /></center>sixsylinderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08314760558756110394noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801778273655876536.post-50713046567798458122012-01-26T10:07:00.000-05:002012-01-26T14:27:03.664-05:00PreviewI sold the S14 last weekend because a nice kid offered me a good price for it and realistically I don't think I was going to have the patience to finish it. It was also incredibly obnoxious on my 60 mile roundtrip commute, mainly because of the PBM's. If I decide I still want to own a nice S14, I think I'd prefer to just buy Nate's car and change a few things around. <br /><br />In the meantime, I've picked up something new, and by new, I mean very old. <br /><br />Photos aren't ready yet and I'm still trying to get it roadworthy, but in the meantime here is some related material.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mercedesmotoring.com/">Mercedes Motoring</a> is an operation out in California that restores primarily W116 and W123 diesels. The work they do is *astounding* and their travel photos are terrific. No airbags or rusted hoods here, these are 100% stock restorations. <br /><br /><center><iframe width="853" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RXpCd2ig_Hg?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center>sixsylinderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08314760558756110394noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801778273655876536.post-39960183262421907192012-01-24T08:31:00.002-05:002012-01-24T08:41:45.509-05:00He likes it, hey MikeyI don't generally like MX83/GX81's very much, but this is snazzy.
