Windshieldless Wonder: 2006 Ariel Atom

No Doors, No Roof, No Compromise! That’s the motto of the guys who created the Ariel Atom. This is truly a case of “if it doesn’t need it, it hasn’t got it” and exactly what we like to hear. If you don’t know about the Ariel Atom, you really only need to know 300hp and [...]

The Bull that made Lamborghini: 1970 P400 Miura S

The Miura is often acclaimed as the car that put Lamborghini on the map. When it debuted at Turin in 1965, Lamborghini only showed the mid-engined chassis as they had not contracted with someone to build a body.

Chalk one more up on the “Want It” board. This is the Ex-Alain Prost F1 car that acted as back-up for the 1991 season. While ’91 wasn’t a stellar season for Prost (the late, great Ayrton Senna dominated that year), he did receive 5 podium finishes. The seller claims this particular car was run at [...]

Blue Lotus #2: 2006 Lotus Elise

Two Blue Loti in two days here on TSOL! This is a very different car than the Elan we featured yesterday but they’re both inspired by the same minimalist ideals. Light weight, a high revving engine and tight suspension make this a great weekend toy and something you can happily take to some HPDE’s. The [...]

Just a Little Guy: 1970 Lotus Elan 26R Replica

The Lotus Elan (and 26R) played the role of David vs. the Goliaths of Ferrari, Porsche and Jaguar during the late 1960s and 1970s.  Lotus never raced factory 26R’s but supported privateers and their successful racing ventures. The cars originally were sold in kit form so it’s unknown how many were built, estimates usually fall [...]

If you want to be the fastest guy at your local open track day, this could be the way to go. This car is a 2003 Viper Competition Coupe with body updates from 2005 and World Challenge updates from 2006. We like this car because the seller claims it’s ready to get back on the [...]
