Wow, you can measure the power of that car by the "Auspuff" soot. Impressive.

A somewhat odd looking but very well restored Adler Typ 10 Autobahn from 1938:
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a262/Ferror/concours_het_loo_2010/IMG_8144.jpg
Seems to be based on the same aerodynamic principles as the VW beetle, the Mercedes A and the Tatra's.
Porsche 365A Speedster:

Hey All,
The Borg wow does that take me back! My uncle drove a Borg in the early 60s in Billings Montana of all places. Where he got it or what model it was I've no idea.
Nice pics Ferry - great opportunity and thanks for sharing.

That's a good collection too Alex!
Love the Alfa sportscars and the Uhlenhaut coupé! :applause: IIRC the one with the red interior was Uhlenhaut's personal transport and the second car with the blue interior was used by the factory.
Is that RAK2 the real thing or a replica..?
The reason you don't see those Lagonda's very often is the crappy typical British quality electronics, especially the digital dash of the first series was a disaster!

There was a special exhibition of classic Alfa competition vehicles related to Alfa´s 100th aniverary. Have some more of this goodies. They did a short engine run on the new 8C competizione, the sound was a blast!!!

That was the real deal!!!

The whole dash always reminds me of a "pong" console!:icon_lol: Electronically it was indead a disaster. Wouldn´t want to restore such a baby...lot´s of grey hairs...

They actually did! It was on display with the related Rocket-Motorbike.
How many rockets were lit .....
Can´t relate! Unfortunately I was not there at this very moment (stroling around elsewhere I guess, too much to explore)...shame on me!
