Yesterday walking in the rain I came across a big Blobby Bubble of a car being restored, The owner claims its an "Austin Atlantic Convertible. Now, I'm getting on a bit, but I dont remember ever seeing one of these around, Is it a late April fool or did they exist? Pictures will follow once I dry the Brownie out! Ugly as sin!

Here's an A90 Atlantic, the soft top was the same shape as this but sans roof:

So:


Ugly? Can't have been one of those you saw.

Ooh!, love the cabrio. Twin flying 'A's - fantastic!

[longboarder]

Yep, defo one of those, black and chrome with red upholstery, looked a lot uglier then those, big brute of a thing, A30 on steroids? Even the steering wheel is huge! maybe when its finished I'll grow to like it, its just up the road next to the healey 100/6 I crave!

WAC831S is on page 28 of the freshly received DM148. What are the chances of two indices so close together eh?

[DoloWIGHTY]

For Sale too, as I was taking the picture one of the men loading the stuff into the Vectra was shouting out "buy it, buy it!" I am sure I could hear some desperation in his voice too!

S'gotta very odd stance to it and presumably a very odd engine from that bonnet bulge, there was once a fad for dropping these bodies over Range Rover chassis' , it's not one of them is it? Steve

I'll post the link to this thread at R3W and see whether anyone on there will admit to having abused and disfigured that once-lovely example of the best thing to come out of Staffordshire since the toilet was invented.

Sticking them on a RR chassis is one thing and some have been done very well indeed but that, on the other hand, is just vulgar.

Sorry I don't know mate, only saw it, took a picture of it and stuck it here for your delight(?)

Today I saw this 1975 Honda;




Which I believe is 400/4 Super Sport(?)

Always liked the look of these, a well proportioned shape that could almost described as handsome I reckon.
