1971 Triumph Tr6 Smiths Temp Gauge (oem) on 2040-parts.com
Ruckersville, Virginia, US
Up for sale is a completely and meticulously refurbished Smiths Temp Gauge from my 1971 Triumph TR6. This gauge has been disassembled and rebuild via the following: (1) Shell media blasted to bare metal (2) Internal shell primed and painted in brilliant white (3) External shell painted with POR-15 gray to glass-like finish (4) Gauge face white glove polished with Pledge and dust free cloth (5) Original Glass bezel retained and cleaned (6) New gaskets from Nisonger (7) Swapped original flat black bezel with chrome from Nisonger (retained original and will include with sale) This came out so well I intended to keep it for a future swap. However, due to a change in priorities and limited space, my hope is this beautiful piece of history goes into a working "six"! Please let me know if you have questions.

Craigslist catch: 1986 Lotus Turbo Esprit
Thu, 14 Apr 2011For the masochistic car enthusiast--and many of us here at AutoWeek count ourselves among that breed--nothing is sure to tantalize and frustrate quite as nicely as a Lotus. Not just any Lotus, mind you, but a peaky, force-fed, emissions-saddled 1986 Turbo Esprit. The example shown here, http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/ctd/2318628863.html, appears to be a fine specimen of Giguaro's wedgy Brit, and the rear-quarter decals indicate that this is a late HCi model--high-compression plus Bosch fuel injection.
Lazzarini Design creates Ferrari-powered Fiat 500
Fri, 22 Jun 2012If you saw the Fiat Abarth 659 Tributo Maserati car and thought to yourself, “That's just not enough razzle-dazzle,” then maybe this will strike your speed-seeking fancy. It's a Fiat 500 powered by one of the best engines in the world—the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari Italia. Lazzarini Design came up with the concept, and the company says it's waiting for an investor with $550,000 burning a hole in his or her pocket to give building one a shot.
