RC India

Hey all,
Every one has a dream car and as usual I also have a dream car. My dream car is Lamborghini Aventador and Ferrari Italia 458.
What are your favorite dream cars. Share here with me guys. :)

AUDI SHARK  ;D

Not really RC.
Prosaic dreams.
Other than my 1972 Herald, long gone, and my 1955 Millecento, rusting since 1998,
My dream cars are
Mercedes 180d 1959
VW Karman Ghia
Triumph Spitfire
Etc
This is old men's stuff.
Look up control line in 1957 in a site called Supercool Propellers.

Seriously - I would love to possess ne of these. Open to serious offers, if anyone has one to sell. The vehicle should have NO modifications whatsoever, including a petrol engine. I am not looking at mileage. Also open to junked vehicles, but they must be of appropriate (pre 1947) vintage.

@ KK Iyer: The Triumph Spitfire is not exactly an old man's car, but definitely a MAN's car ;D
I have multiple dream cars, cuz cars are all that I dream about!! :P But an old skyline is definitely near the top of my list!! Modded off-course..  >:D
Here's a subtle but deadly example:

I've had the good fortune of being close to a Triumph Spitfire for many years. A neighbour of mine in Kolkata owned one, and I've had several joyrides in it. He offered to let me drive it once and I chickened out. The other Super Car that I chickened out from driving (in 1992) was the Jaguar E Type.

K.K. Iyer Sir, I am not trying to rub it in, but as a kid I remember a sports car that eventually junked and went to a scrapyard below a building called Khaitan House on Lake Road, Kolkata. It had a soft or black top the car was otherwise white. Everytime that I passed it, I would wonder how it could just sit there and do NOTHING at all. Never saw it running. It was a white Karmann Ghia. One day it disappeared. I hope it found a good home.

The Karmann that I knew looks strangely familiar to this vehicle. Found it via google at www.team-bhp.com. I hope it is the same car, in that case it has reached a restorer in the UK.

VC Sir,
Bhopal is the home of old pre war Jeeps. Hundreds.
Also old Bullets restored to original

Lastrites
What's that Datsun Z series? I forget the number.

Saw a Range Rover in Indore yesterday that looked (nearly) as low as an E Type!

Remember the original article on the Honda CB750 in Cycle? 1979?

Here is another long cherished dream. Met this beautiful example in Guwahati a few days ago. Stunning beauty! For me it was love at first sight, pity the owner loves her just as much and is NOT willing to let her go. She was an anniversary gift to his wife. Can't argue with that.

@VC: sir u should chek out OLX...

Aha! We talkin bikes now? This ones my baby. I waited 25 years for her and she's mine. I acquired her (and learnt to ride a bike) at 41 so that I could tame her.  Eat your heart out.

Vishwa, whoever butched those Jeeps, especially the Ford edition, deserves to be shot. What a pitiful destruction. :banghead:

wow vc i really envy you for that. RD 350 is one of my dream yet to come true.i own more than 10 bikes but till yet i couldn't own this one.

Don't you dare look at my girlfriend with such longing eyes. Mind it! :giggle:

Not many car mags left but still have some Aeromodeller issues from say 1957?, MAN, Flying Models, RCM&E, Cycle, Cycle guide etc from the 70s

Dream cars. Forgot Bug, Mini, Fiat 500, 2CV, MGB, Bug Eye Sprite, Triumph Dolomite. Aaaaaargh
Triumph Terrier, BSA Bantam, James 125.
Forget about Norton Dominators, BSA Gold Stars, RE Crusader (not the Indian one)
Dont even talk about Vincents, Velocettes, Indians or Harleys.

VC, shame on you. You never ever mentioned that you have an RD 350. I may still have the original article on the giant killer RD 350.

Will start looking for an original Jeep for you.

 KK Sir :bow: :bow: :bow:


Triumph Dolomite! WOW!!! Not many will connect with that beauty.

Praveen Jose,
I have seen that all Mallus have beautiful Bullets.
Except me. My 1975 has been rotting in the rain since 1992, along with my 1956 RE Ensign, 1955 Millecento (and a few others)
Post your pics, man. Many admirers. Like me.

iyer sir, i am sorry dont own a bullet i am in search of a real vintage one.my collection starts with suvega and ends with road king. will try to upload pics after resizing.

If you ever wish to give your 75 Bullet a good home, send her to me. I'm serious.

VC Sir,
Do you want an original 1st owner 1985 Maruti Van, used only for ferrying models to the field. Just over 1 lac km on the clock. All original, but expired life time tax. Allotment no. 40. Still has Tested OK sticker.

My (pipe) dream is to return to Lucknow after i retire later this year, and restore (again) my
1955 Fiat Millecento, last restored 1986
1956 RE Ensign 150, last restored 1971
1975 Bullet, last started in 1992
1984 Chetak, last started 1987
1985 Maruti Van no. 40. Last started 2008
Hero Honda Splendor (B in laws) of around 2000.
TVS Scooty of 2001, last started 2012
All with expired road tax and insurance!

As well as
Miss World (1980?) with original OS 20 or older Merco 35.
Schoolmarm with 2 cc diesel
My old OD Glider with releasable towhook and split rudder airbrake (1980). Anyone heard of such things?
Chipmunk for Mills 1.3 FF
Druine Turbulent
Mercury Marvin CL for 1.5 cc. Have a new OS 10 saved up for last 5-10 years
Goldberg Piper Cub bought in England in 1996. (Just started using the Super Tigre 40 bought with it)
Graupner Ultra Stunter from plans
Small Keil Kraft, Veron, Guillow etc kits 30-50 years old.

If I've waited 50 years, a few more cant do any harm, can they?

Moderator Sir,
It occurred to me that this post should actually be in a new thread 'Oldies Goldies', or some such

No Sir, Thank you. I am more interested in the Bullet and now, the 84 Chetak...................plus  any of  the Keil Kraft, Guillows and Verons if you are willing.

Funny.  I grew up with many friends driving old beat up Karmann Ghias and Bugs.  My best friend John and I built plastic models growing up.  Then he  turned his hobby into his dream step by step.  First working from home, going to old rich people's garages and restoring their old Porsches (1960's models).  John invested in machining tools and started making his own parts.  And now in the world of old Porsches he's world famous and has his owm shop and collection of vintage Porsches.
