    Took advantage of the great San Diego weather and washed the other car. Still a work in progress but getting there.

    I love the car's size and styling. It's just such a cool little car. That video captures the history of the car as well.

    The want is strong.

    There were a bunch of cool classics there, including the usual Aston Martin DB4, a handful of Jaguar E-types, a whole section of Austin-Minis, tons of vintage Packards, Buicks, etc. Some of my other favorites:

    1961 Alfa Romeo Sprint Speciale



    1972 Saab 95, a car I misremembered as the one James May drove in their time trial rally episode (series 13, episode 6). James drove a Citroën Ami. Still, who doesn't love a two door stationwagon



    Terrible shot of a 1968 Triumph TR250. An update of the TR4, I believe it was only produced in 1968 before the TR6. It had a less powerful engine than the European TR5 due to emissions regulations (carburetors vs. mechanical fuel injection), but still a gorgeous car. The red one that is barely in frame is driven to Canada each year and rallied as well. The green one has been owned by the same owner since new.



    1966 Sunbeam Tiger aka the poor man's Shelby Cobra. It's a British Sunbeam Alpine body with a Ford 260 cubic inch V8. This one is reportedly 1 of 6 in Commodore Blue.



    1972(?) Alfa Romeo GTV 2000(?). You see them all the time on BaT.



    1969 MG MGB. My father had basically this car when he was younger; same color, might be a year younger or older. My father noted that his car never looked this good, "not even when I saw one in the showroom"



    1976 AMC Pacer. My grandfather had one of these. He's never had a great taste in cars LOL



    1971 3.0 CSL Alpina in Golf Yellow

    I know, the Pacer is something else. Just looks like a spaceship and yet somehow perfectly from the 1970s. That's crazy you would see one on the road. I remember seeing one 10+ years ago, thought it was a POS because of how rusted out it was. And that TR250 is gorgeous. Both TR250s had Panasport wheels.

    I've never had a personal connection to cars from my father's era, but I love how different design philosophy was back then. A relative lack of safety regulations meant you could make stunningly beautiful bodies, or cars that were light weight with only moderately powerful engines that were powerful enough to be quick and still have great handling characteristics. And the engine sounds. There's nothing like a classic Jaguar inline six or Italian four bangers.

    Definitely glad I got to go and I learned a lot from my Dad while I was there. He's like a Wikipedia for cars up to 2000.
