Upper Middle Petrol Head:

The Austin Healey Sprite and its twin, the MG Midget , would have to be one of the most fun cars ever made by nearly every measure, be that per cubic centimetre of engine capacity, purchase price or even the way other people respond to them.   There are faster cars, more expensive cars and arguably better looking cars - beauty being in the eye of the beholder - but how many are as downright, all-round fabulous as that dynamic-duo of diminutive 1960s' British ragtops? You just can't get up people's noses driving a "Spridget" the same way that ownership of certain high-end German and Italian marques might. How could you possibly not like something that just so frightfully and inoffensively charming? You can't and I should know, having owned a IIIA Sprite 15 years or so ago. Probably shouldn't of sold it. Too late now. U M P H (uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com.au.) All iPhone images.  

Don't get too hot and flustered, Mopar-maniacs!  Unfortunately for you, this exquisite '76 VK Charger is not for sale, now or ever, according to its gentleman owner.  He says that even when he goes to the great car show in the sky, it'll remain firmly within his family.    And who could really blame him?  He's owned it from nearly new - it was just two years old when he bought it - and it's entirely original, other than a newish set of mags.  That's fully original  Amarante   red   paint, chrome and all the interior, which is finished in a sort of 70s' carpet-meets-corduroy fabric. Being the 770 variant, the car's fitted with the 4.3 litre engine and has been coupled to a three-speed floor shift.  Again, that's totally original, unmolested, stock standard spec.  Nice!     U M P H (uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com.au.)
