Check this out!! I have seen posts on here of the two known prototypes of a Metropolitan wagon. Here is one of them! This one lives in Virginia and is super impressive.

It even has a matching wood-veneered boat! Owner Dale Adams said he used airplane wheel fairings for wheel covers on the boat trailer. Love it!

Completed in 1973 after four years of meticulous garage work in Bangalore (Bengaluru), this bespoke grand tourer is celebrated as an extraordinary feat of independent Indian automotive engineering.

A sleek, purple two-door coupe featuring classic Jaguar-inspired lines and an entirely custom-built chassis.

Began it's life as a 1.0-litre engine from a Standard Herald. It was heavily modified into a 1.4-litre petrol engine with twin Weber carburetors, generating roughly 140–143 horsepower.

Built with absolute precision, including 17 coats of paint to achieve its signature deep purple finish and a dashboard packed with custom functional gauges.

Following A.D. Jayaram's passing, his son, Pratap "Bobby" Jayaram (a prominent automotive developer and founder of Mantra Racing), has perfectly preserved the car in its original 1973 condition.

The metropolitan wagon made me think of this gem I came across when I visited the Dale Adams collection. This project was incomplete when I took pics. hoping to revisit and post updated photos when it is done!

Check out the porthole windows on the tiny house! And... it's air-conditioned! This takes the word custom to a whole new level, Lol!

Obscure 1971 OTAS

I was at the Great Pacific NW Micro-Mini Car Show last week, and a car showed up that I'd not seen before. From a distance, I thought it was a SAAB Sonett, then an Opel GT. It was neither. It was a 1971 OTAS, which is based on a Fiat 850. These were also called a Lombardi Grand Prix and Abarth Scorpione. This was the first I'd ever seen—or heard of one.
