    Been looking at this just now, the pink Dodge picture is particularly good, Athena poster good :D. Also the Model T looks remarkably well preserved. Anyone know what the little blue one is in the top picture?

    it needs saving especially if it’s an original Porsche, not a replica.

    Probably cost a fortune to do right, worth it though if you have the money.

    That's ace, although its a shame about it's rear end. The previous one was nicer.

    The trouble is, once you start looking at the classic car section on ebay, there's so much I'd like if I win the premium bonds.
    This would look so good on my driveway...........
