Damn. Those hoods sure look like old timey Aston Marins. DB1/DB2 perhaps?


Nah. That would be too easy.......

[Otto Puzzell]

Sure would.

50s Ford 8/10 based special I assume.

Shirley Mk2

[shamrock]

are they paramounts ?

[Rich]

I've no clue as to what they are, only when they are...given the lack of chrome bumpers (replaced by what looks to be "modern plastics"), I'm thinking they're something newer, maybe even contemporary....

or not.

Marauder

or not.

Way to stick to your guns, amigo!

Now that I'm running for public office, I need to make everyone aware that I'm a man of diplomacy and reason....

[porridgehead]

Obviously not convictions. Indictments sure, but never convictions.

Shirley Mk2

Correct! Well done. 

[MG]

Surely you jest!   

[Arthur Dent]

I wonder why they didn't sell with a name like that eh? Meeting up with the guys for a beer and they ask "so what kind of car did you?" "Ummm ... its a Shirely"   

[porridgehead]

It's all about the sell. You never, ever say "Ummm... it's a Shirley." You say things like "Me and ol' Shirley really tore up the streets last night." or "I drove Shirley for nearly three hours on Saturday and I've got the chafing to prove it!" or "Gawd, I really rode Shirley hard the other day. I'm still smilin'."

It's all the sizzle.

Until they see what Shirley actually is.  Then you're on your own.

[Tifosi]

Kinda like The Betsy?
