    Well done sir. I'll give you an A for effort. But so, so, so close. The information plate next to the number plate states the following.

    Make 10-15 HP FIAT
    Model 501 wide track
    Engine 1500cc, 4 cylinder, petrol, side valve
    Gearbox 4 speed
    Cruising speed 40mph
    First registered in NZ 1925

    I am not sure what the difference between a model 501 and 502 is.

    502 - 501 = 1. The difference is 1.:)

    From Wikipedia:
    The Fiat 502 is a car produced by Fiat between 1923 and 1926. The 502 was more expensive and bigger variant of the 501. 20,000 were produced.

    Nice soft lighting for the Fraser Lotus 7. That would be fun to drive. TFS.

    I haven't seen a Shelby Cobra I didn't like. And I like this one too. Beautiful. Thanks, Gary.

    These were parked up out our local cafe. I did have to smile to myself. The passengers were putting on multiple layers of clothing, and then out came the ear plugs as well. Then the ladies decided they wanted to look at a couple of shops, so off came the extra layers. Sort of like being a passenger on a motor bike.

    What would you give to have a go.........

    Well, it's not going to be the Fraser as his number plate frame is quite explicit. And I don't blame him.
    I'm not sure what I would give to have a drive of the Shelby. I had not really thought about it but I know that I would not need to be asked twice. The only problem being that I might like it too much...and where do we go from there??

    You may as well just buy it, and enjoy the fun.

    Yeah, that would be great...but sometimes reality bites. However, you only live once so enjoy what you have. That's what I do.

    Some days you just get things wrong. Wrong metering and I couldn't figure out why the next two images came out underexposed. Hence the reason they may not be consistent. But we are heading into autumn so another grey overcast day. Another coffee, another car. Only one today. Maybe the driver should be a little more considerate to where they park. Right in front of the wood pile does not help.;);)

    Despite all the problems, an E-Type looks good from any angle. A classic.

    All it needs is a run through the car wash.

    Yeah, that one will need more than a car wash. Maybe a lick of piant first!

    I am not sure if this would be the original colour. Maybe someone would be able to confirm if orange was a factory colour.
