Upper Middle Petrol Head:

UMPH believes that the term  classic  can be applied to a whole range of cars - from agricultural  to awesome, from prosaic to performance - and that price and prestige don't have to be part of the definition.  However, to borrow from Orwell, some cars are more classic than others. Take this extremely beautiful 1956 Beetle, for instance.    It would be hard to imagine a better example of the marque ; from its flawless paint, to the tasteful era-appropriate accessories, every single part of this car screams German classic!    Oval-window Beetles aren't common in Tasmania (they're probably not that common anywhere these days!).  Adding to this particular ones uniqueness are its one-piece front door windows which, according to the proud owner, weren't actually standard for 1956 but were fitted because he liked them. And he's not the only person that likes the car, giving rise to its nickname - The Slut - given ...

Pretty much anything that UMPH could say about the mighty Mini Cooper S has  already  been said, and by people much more knowledgeable than he is, so he'll let these photos of this very fine example seen in Hobart do the talking. U M P H. ( uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com.au .)
