Upper Middle Petrol Head:

It's interesting to see what floats people's boats when it comes to UMPH Random  posts.  Volkswagens rate really well, as do early Fiats and Alfas.  However, lots of other really nice cars often create barely any interest at all.  The following index is therefore an attempt to steer readers to where their particular interests might lie.   The Germans (VWs, mainly): 1956 Beetle ('The Slut') https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7165367970551834236#editor/target=post;postID=6748142476422085586;onPublishedMenu=posts;onClosedMenu=posts;postNum=3;src=postname .  (Coming soon.) 1960s 1300 Beetle De Luxe https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7165367970551834236#editor/target=post;postID=1682370562301318900;onPublishedMenu=posts;onClosedMenu=posts;postNum=6;src=postname .

Roma comes to North Hobart. Some cars are so deeply associated with their countries of origin that it's almost impossible to see one without thinking of the other.  Britain has its Mini Minors ; in France, it's Citroen 2CV s ; the Hindustani Star says India as loudly as the loudest Bollywood starlet ever sang ; and the Beetle will always be synonymous with Germany. Quite fittingly, this ripper 500 was spotted in the heart of North Hobart's restaurant precinct near where many a good Italian meal is to be had. And in Italy?  They've got the Bambino!   U M P H (uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com.au .) iPhone images.

UMPH isn't going to bang on about this Tasmanian registered, British made Ultima sports car, mainly because it's so exotic that he doesn't actually know anything about it.  He was, however, pretty chuffed to have seen it in Hobart and even more so when he visited the Ultima website ( http://www.ultimasports.co.uk/   ).  A  true supercar!    U M P H.
