night lights.
So yeah i’m still gushing about my new car, every day I drive it, i love it even more. A couple of days ago, I realised that I hadn’t actually seen what the headlights and taillights looked like at night, so i got out of the car and looked. The attention to detail is beautiful. The headlights have LED lighting across the top, angling down—with bi-xenon primary headlights. The look is just evil! The taillights, are using piped LED tubes—which lead to quite a dramatic effect.
Singer Porsche. #2.
Rob Dickinson’s Singer company are likely making the nicest and most detail oriented 911s on the market right now, and I have to say that the new white Singer Porsche 911 is absolutely stunning, i especially love the contrasted Green leather buckets. Of course these cars are tailor-made for their customers, with every attention paid to the detail of the fittings, colours, and materials used. There is a price to pay, however in my honest opinion—-it is money well spent for a 911 of a lifetime.
I’ve spoken to Rob in the past, and he’s told me that the Singer 911s start at around $190k, and go up to over $300k depending on the demands of the customer.
you can go to the SINGER site and download ALL of the Singer 911 photos in a single file, if you click the link at the top of their page:

a vintage poster of the very cool DKW Monza!
the illustrations of Peter Hutton.
These are very cool and very original. I especially love the way he annotates information about the cars above the angular cutaway sketches. The Maserati 250 T-shirt is quite nice, although too red for me to order unfortunately. Prints and cards are quite affordable—a nice place to pick up a few gifts for yourself or a petrolhead in your lives.

alfa romeo junior z.
yes i love the Alfa Romeo Junior Z—–i know lots of people don’t like it, and i’ve had conversations with Alfisti who discredit its weird Zagato roots and shape—-however I find it to be quite unique, and in person it is very very tiny and compact! All types of cool! I did learn something new today though; that the Junior Z was made in 2 forms, a short tail 1300 and a ‘longer’ tail 1600. Also on the Alfa Workshop, there is a photo of a ‘mid-engined’ variant….
The Junior Z is quickly catching up to the Montreal when it comes to my favourite post WW2 Alfa Romeos.
these archival photos taken from the Alfa Workshop
These scans were found on the AlfaBB some time ago, and I had saved them. I’m not sure exactly who had scanned them.

unknown car of the day. Goliath GP 700 Sport.
One of the post-war cars developed in Germany, loosely based on a VW Beetle platform (correction): upon further investigation, it seems that the most recent sole survivor was discovered with an older VW chassis transplant, however the original GP 700 Sport was based on an OEM original Borgward chassis design. —–with a LOT of design similarity to the Porsche 356 (also Beetle-based), the Goliath GP 700 Sport was built with lots of aluminium, and sported a mighty 36hp. The amount of parts that it actually shares with a VW is unclear, as it doesn’t use a rear-engined layout like the Beetle did. Very few of these cars exist (reportedly 3 are still in existence). Produced between 1950 and 1953, by Borgward. The car had Bosch Fuel Injection (!), front engined, front wheel drive, and a transversely mounted engine—-all revolutionary at the time and very unique.
Lots of information and photos here:
