I like this blog site mainly as I like old/new science. I bought a load of old Radio magazines when last in the States and paid extra to get them home - 50s tech, lovely.

Anyway, the 'new' Porsche Speedster - coupe. 125mp from 80 hp.

Hard to believe this is the same company that now thinks it is cool to sell the Cayenne w@nkermobile.

Also in this area is the Marcos Xylon - may not look too seamlined now but was quite sensational when new.

Same team made the Mini-Marcos (Aero coupe - Mini grubby bits)

and the Marcos coupe

Another one - Austin Healey 'Sebring' Sprite - also competed at Lemans and available as a kit for your own AH Sprite / MG Midget

I had a 1973 Midget with a 1293cc semi-race engine in it. Roundabouts = playgrounds.

And of course this

from here. Looks an interesting site but the link stopped working for me just now.

EDIT - It started working again, Neil's 'Pants' car is included in the list of home-built streamliners.
