That WAS luxury in 1932. Apparently it went on a trip over the Alps, amongst other ventures.

I'd not really been aware that they were a real coach builder at one time before BL used the name for a version of a crappy car with extra poncy bits stuck on it

They're disappearing fast, when I was there in 2019 I hardly saw any.
These pics go from '93 to '19.

Riding a Brompton with a power meter.
I've had two and liked them both eventually. The second one was the best; I bought it off the previous owner for crack money at the side of the road after it had blow a head gasket. I put a 2.4 Toyota 22R with twin Weber DCOE carbs out of a junkyard HiLux in it . After that it was about 90% faster and 900% more reliable.

Last night and this morning, my road has had loads of never/rarely seen sports car going up and down. Guess there must be some rally/club event at one of the hotels up river?
Highlights include Healys, a 3000 and something very old, Lancia Fulvia and Stratos, an Alfa Guilettia and a Jensen. Plus an old Porsche and a few others I don't know - Did Wartburg ever do a Coupe? It was trailing enough smoke!

Fucking hell, those things were everywhere when I was a kid. They're the ones with the strange transmission that they borrowed for some old Volvo, too, (ETA: the 343) right?

The Volvo 343 was a development from the Daf.

A friend's parents had a Daf 33 and had a lot of fun with it. The variomatic belt transmission made it very easy to drive. I vaguely recall there was a van version of the Daf 44 which used the same variomatic gearbox.

If you were still in UK you could have popped down to this Brooklands Museum :: Italian Car Day. An owner of one might be attending

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
And I think they shared the engine from with the refrigeration plants of Daf reefer trucks.

I've just checked, Club membership is £147 a year, I'm not sure it's worth it now.
