Noble M12 GTO-3R

Typically speaking, I’m pretty familiar with whatever I’m shooting on any given day. I may not know all the exact technical figures and specifics, but I have ballpark numbers in my head and have a pretty good idea what the car is all about. That really wasn’t the case with this Noble M12 GTO-3R. I was well aware of Noble and had seen a handful of them, including this particular car, out at various events over the years, but when it came to those exacts, I was pretty clueless. All I really knew was they were sure-footed and quick. Very quick. My first attempt to shoot this car was cancelled unexpectedly at the last minute. I’m always disappointed when a shoot doesn’t pan out, but...

* Chassis no. 10MC * Engine no. EB75 * 7,688cc ohv six-cylinder * Four-speed transmission * A very early Phantom * Australian delivery example Successor to the legendary Silver Ghost that had made Rolls-Royce one of the world’s preeminent automakers, the New Phantom arrived in 1925.

ONE – 2003 Aston Martin DB AR1
posted by Patrick Ernzen
Of all things in the automotive world, coachbuilders hold a special place in my heart. Unlike major automobile manufacturers who have to focus on an entire vehicle from the first technical drawing to the last bolt, a coachbuilder is focused solely on the physical appearance of the vehicle. They take one of the most elementary requirements of an automobile and elevate it to an art form. bet365 online sportfogadás Dating back several centuries, the art of coachbuilding has sadly changed and faded greatly from its heyday in the early 20th century. With the advent of unibody construction, mass production and everything-under-one-roof business models, coachbuilding in the traditional sense has become...
