I assuming u photochopped the number plate cuz that baby is not a PAM, not so?

this was a blue... both the red and the original blue (now red as seen in the pic) are 308s... GTB and GTS.

not sure which is which though, but the PAM one was sold recently.

GTB has the fixed roof, while the GTS has a removable panel over the cabin. Mechanically, they'd be identical once they're of the same generation 308

yea there were... those would be the first generation. 308's came in GTB and GTS form, both in non quattrovalve and quattrovalve spec. GTB and GTS versions continued to the 308's successor, the 328.

Regarding the Skyline, I'm tending to think it's too old to be registered legally, but others on here are saying that if a RORO car is brought in, it can be legally reg years after once there are documents proving the importation date and manufacture date is within the law... anyone know if this is true?

I knew PAM200 looked familiar...........I like dthe blue, but this red looks odd.........prefer the rims on PAJ too

actually got to sit in PAJ once, back when I was in secondary school

Lal Dass in south had a Quattrovalve, also a gentleman by the name of Ian Nath from Valsayn, he had a blue Quattrovalve.

Those were the only two in Trinidad I knew of.

Some how that one looks different from this one. Two tone paint and no chrome wheels.

MG Man · Postby **MG Man** » November 4th, 2008, 10:06 pm

who can tell me what the round lights on the front are?

MG Man · Postby **MG Man** » November 5th, 2008, 7:48 am

yup, headlights
the front of the car is so high that traditionally located headlights would blind oncoming traffic, but to place them low would look odd. The solution Rolls came up with was to make the park lights look like conventional headlights, and the 'fogs' are the conventional headlights. The car retains a proper 'face' and the plebs are not blinded.

On another note, Rolls was praised for the umbrella concealed in the door, but Nissan did this with the NX200 years ago. The difference being the NX was a cpupe, so the umbrella was concealed in the rear fender, and accessed when the door was open.

useless trivia FTW

took this on Sunday last.....cost th owner 40K US!!

dont know if he got robbed or what...but car was throwing water from the exhaust while idling!!...if that aint old school perfaction...then.... :roll:

damieG82 · Postby **damieG82** » November 5th, 2008, 8:45 pm

WOW that Merc is gorgeous!!! I love old Merc coupes... even today they scream 'yuh reach!!'

And water from the exhaust is ok once there's no smoke. Gas emits hydrogen when burnt and in an engine it can mix with un-ignited oxygen in the cylinder, producing water vapour, or depending on the exhaust temperature, actual droplets of water... in other words d engine wukkin like a champ, and cleaner than the pine sol lady's kitchen!!
