Unbridled Sunbeam

My dear friend Phil has recently moved from San Francisco to Kentucky. Here is a recent picture from his Sunbeam Arrow in its new habitat. The car looks great Phil! Love those Rostyles! Wish you luck in finishing it up, and hope you get it on the road soon!

Slammed!


Brilliant shots of Seth's Hillman Minx from this past Sunday at the Retro Rides Gathering 2011. Congratulations to Seth for winning the Hard Slam category!!! Photos by: reverendpixel

Legs In Motion

Another rare sight in Iran! ;)

Black Gazelle

The Singer badged from the Rootes Arrow series car was made from 1967-70. The Singer Gazelle was based on the Hillman Minx, and the Singer Vogue was based on the Hillman Hunter trim. They were both placed upmarket from the Hillmans.
These were the last cars who carried the name Singer. Consider yourself extremely lucky if you got an Arrow series Singer! ;)

I believe this was from a German advert, for the Sunbeam Vogue. I must say I like the grey with red interior option, very Vogue indeed! ;)

Ridin Shotgun

In Iran taxis are like buses, they pack in as many passengers as they can, in many instances a Paykan Taxi would have 5 passengers in it; not including the driver! Photo from: rigelchiu

Tigger

Judging by the Tigger sitting on the rear shelf, I can confidently say this is the exterior of that Deep Purple. ;)
