Saw this at the shops. Amazingly clean but couldn’t work out the make or model.

Its a heavily modified 1946 International Harvester. The grille/nosecone is totally wrong for the truck. Looks like its off of a 30's Ford of some description.

Hmm...

That's utter dross.

Which one? There are 4 contenders for that title...two stronger than the others.

Dis86 · 22 Sep 2019 at 17:01

Lol true. Saab.

Akagi · 22 Sep 2019 at 17:04

I had to stop looking at it because it was making me go all OCD.

Barryboys the show

I didn't even notice it being offset I just thought it looked barryed. Wonder if one isn't attached.

Akagi · 22 Sep 2019 at 19:25

You lot are blind. Honestly I don't know why I bother.

I posted when I saw this parked a few weeks ago, but today I found myself behind it in traffic, so snapped another shot. Nice to see a fairly rare car being used for commuting...sounded great too, even just bumbling along in traffic.

Ok, a ~~thousand~~ million points for anyone who can tell me what this car is.
it passed me on the M3 I took this screenshot from a dashcam video.
The badge was a circle with what looked like a bar going vertically up the middle if that helps (probably not but hey).

Bugatti type 35 replica?

Akagi · 23 Sep 2019 at 21:04

Lol too easy, those old Bugatti style wheels are very distinctive, as is the colour

thezappa · 23 Sep 2019 at 21:18

Well that showed me.

Nice spot, can’t be many around. Definitely one of my dream cars right there. A CLK GTR would also fit in nicely!

How about a CLK DTM :cool:

Or a 700bhp Brabus E63 800:

The boggo Brabus behind it looked positively dull in comparison:

Like shooting fish in a barrel in Kensington.

shadow_boxer · 24 Sep 2019 at 20:55

^ that CLK! Stunning.

Nasher · 24 Sep 2019 at 22:23

If I saw that Brabus out on the road I'd think it's just another barried Merc at first. Getting hard to tell now. Maybe it's the matt black.

It had genuine carbon ceramic brakes, so it's certainly something special whatever it is (and I rather strongly suspect it's the real deal, it was finished to perfection in the flesh).

The DTM however, isn't. The DTM was a 5.4l engine and this is a 6.3 according to the DVLA, so it appears to be a (well) barried C63.

It's a CLK63 AMG Black Series.
