Trigger . . . it ain't.
Way, way, waaaaay before my time. Must've been tough keeping all those little gizmos around and together, all these years. Not to mention the funny looks you'd get actually showing this to people.
Or riding it.
In public.

These things look raw!
Second one reminds me of my Step-dad's Fireman buddy's Old Bultaco. A real trench digger. This one looks like a flat-tracker.
Wonder how they run . . . or ride.
Munch Mammut (as in wooly)
1968
1.2 liter air-cooled inline four . . . from a car (NSU Prinz) Started out with 88hp on carbs, then went to 100hp with injection.
By 1978, displacement was up to 1.4 liters, and --- turbo-charged. 143 hp.
(Gulp!)
Not many built. $79.5k asking.
Saddle up, Kee-Moe-Sah-Bee
High-visibility motor-cychology . . . just the thing for those wet British B-roads.
Or that soothing night ride.

Sonett I
1956
From Wikipedia:
On March 16, 1956 the Saab Sonett, also called the Super Sport or Saab 94, was introduced at Stockholm's Bilsalong (motor show). Boasting a three-cylinder 748 cc two-stroke engine generating 57.5 hp (43 kW) and a 70 kg aluminium box-style chassis from the Swedish designer Sixten Sason, the Sonett I was an advanced low-weight 600 kg (1,323 lb) racer based on aircraft design concepts.[1]
With a projected top speed of 120 mph (190 km/h), the Sonett I had the prospect of success on the European race circuit, and a production of 2,000 units was planned for 1957. However, race competition rules then changed to permit modified production cars in race classes that Saab had envisioned for its purpose-built Sonett, and the economic and marketing viability of the project faded.
Only six Sonett I vehicles were made between 1955 and early 1957. The original prototype, known as #1 and built with a manually crafted Glassfiber Reinforced Polyester (GRP - "fiberglass") body, served as the reference model for the other five cars. An extremely rare vehicle, only two are in the United States, one of which is part of the GM Heritage Center collection.
. . . cluttering up the place.
I don't know what the gold one is -- some kind of one-off design study?
I hope?
The gold Ferrari is a one off. Here is some more info.

Cadillac-powered something-or-other.
I remember the Prowler.
This looks like . . . more Prowler.
. . . just before the green . . .
Remember, you'll 'ave coughed-up 150 bucks to be here, buddy. So we're gonna give you a show.
Dammit!
1) Dela-HEY . . . in case that hard-tail Harley or Merkel board racer seems a bit 'too' . . . or not 'too' enough? Next time, they might try spray-painting their sign . . . maybe scattering some shell casings . . .
2) Rolls-Royce Phantom Super-duper something-or-another. I couldn't quite make it out to the front of the car . . . too long of a walk. . . . Stillwater Blue as a tribute to Stillwater Cove on the Monterey Peninsula . . . Yeah. Nice trunk. This must be the Marsupial edition? Betcha need one really burly-a$$ butler to load that little 'tea-set' into the trunk. Sold within minutes.
3) Mercedes Dull-wing. Nothing like a little adhesive chrome applique to brighten-up the party, eh? ("It does come off, right? Please tell me it COMES OFF!")This must be those jet-Guys-from-SAAB's idea. Really, wasn't this car hideous enough already? Guess not.
4) Veyron-oceros. Believe it or not, Bugatti announced that one of their cars just did 268 MPH --- and so, to take advant---er commemorate this event, they were producing a special edition of 6 cars. But those'll only do 258. But -- they do have orange wheels. I can wait.
5) Aston Martin Rapido-boom-shahka-lahka-boom-boom --- Wow . . . and I thought the Panamera was hard to take. Notice the crowd? Thing has all the presence of a radioactive sock puppet. I guess they ran out of adhesive chrome applique. But . . . can I get orange wheels?
