Highlights from Goodwood - Exclusive Photo Set!

Our intrepid man in the UK, Davide de Giorgi was kind enough to selflessly attend the Goodwood Festival of Speed on our behalf, so that those of us on this side of the pond could enjoy some captivating imagery of the event.  Davide has a huge flickr stream of photos from Goodwood, but we've chosen our 50 favorite photos for our gallery here on Automobiliac.  Click any picture below for the full gallery.  Does anyone out there know the history of this spectacular 250TR hardtop coupe below?  The streamlined roof does not seem like something Enzo would have done, so the question is: "Who did it?" A quick google search did not yield an easy answer.

Adams Probe 16 - Space Age Joyride!

Every wondered what that crazy sports car from A Clockwork Orange was??  Well, it wasn't designed for the movie!  The car's name -very fitting if you've seen the film!- was the Adams Probe 16.  Designed and built by the Adams brothers, who were engineers from British constructor Marcos, the car epitomized the wild, low-slung look of the space age.  The driver and passenger recline as low as an F1 driver of the era, with the top of the car sliding open for access.  The whole business is only 3 feet tall - perfect for looking up the miniskirts of admiring ladies as you cruise by with that inline 4 buzzing away behind your head!  Beautiful from some angles, hideous from others, the Adams Probe 16 definitely is a time capsule to an era when cars were far more outlandish, adventurous and fun than they are today!  There are supposedly only 3 examples in existence. The Orange one below belongs to collector Phil Karam.
