Replying to: stephen987 (Sep 18, 2008 11:18 am) Yep, it's the little known Porsche 356 America Roadster (1950-52). Like the later 356A Speedster, the ARs were designed as lightweight alternatives to the regular 356 Series, many saw competition in production sports car racing.

Replying to: stephen987 (Sep 19, 2008 11:31 am) Yes - that was quick. Launched in 1967, but dropped in 71, the Austin 3 Litre was a flop - about 10000 were built, but it never caught on. Based on the FWD Austin 1800 body shell, the 3 litre had a straight six engine, but was RWD, and too bulky and clumsy to sell - it was aimed at the Austin Westminster market, but apart from a few police forces nobody wanted it...

Replying to: magnette (Sep 19, 2008 11:39 am) It is sort of goofy-looking. But I can see it as a police car, very easily. Was it as expensive as the Rovers and Volvos of the day? Replies to this message: magnette (Sep 19, 2008 1:41 pm)
#18375 of 23892 Re: What's this ? [stephen987] by magnette Sep 19, 2008 (1:41 pm)
Replying to: stephen987 (Sep 19, 2008 12:14 pm) It would have been comparable to the basic Rover 2000, or the Volvo 144, I suppose, although the latter wouldn't have been a natural choice then as a police car - being foreign.
