1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500
I first found this car on a busy street downtown. I got a few pictures, then the owner arrived. I complemented her on her car, and told her it was too bad I could not get any more pictures. This happens more often than I'd like. And off she went. I could not beleive my luck when I happen upon the car again in the next neighbourhood a half hour later. Only #4 and #5 are pictures I took in the first location.
Love how the colour of the grille is subtly matched to the interior. At the time I didn't notice the well used "FIRE MISSILES" button and the brass SCCA plaque on the dashboard.

MG Double Shot: 1973 MG MGB + 1978 MG Midget
These pictures composed themselves -- the first shot is exactly how I first saw the cars. The rest just followed naturally.

1976 Austin Mini 1000
A break from big American iron.
The profile offers some inspiration -- that odd sort of "bustle" below the rear window, perhaps to expand the microscopic trunk. And the oddly sensuous shape of the front fender, which is unexpectedly elegant. I've seen that sort of bracing on the front of a Mini before, but have no idea what it's for.

1975 MG MGB
Appears to have been parked where it is for some time, and cleared of debris occasionally. Sad about the damage, but of course that's makes it more interesting.
The shape of that heavy front bumper actually works well in preserving the profile and sporty looks. The rear bumper is good too. That sloping front profile is so classic, and over all the car really was designed beautifully.

1988 Rover Mini Canvas Top
That classic shape from an unexpected source. This Mini looks completely normal until you notice the peculiar headlights, then that it is RHD, then the Rover badge. Of course, they had tried to spiff it up with bolt on fender flares, but the effort was half hearted at best.
