The Ferrari Superamerica and Superfast cars were based on the more common 3-liter models but were luxuriously equipped and had larger engines.

This 1962 Ferrari 400SA coupe aerodynamico was the ultimate luxury GT Ferrari of its time.

For many years British car company Morgan made three-wheelers. Here's a 1937 Morgan Super Sport Two Seater powered by a Matchless MX4 V-twin of 1100 cc with 40 horsepower.

Morgan stopped building them many decades ago and then started up again in 2012. There are some very interesting and I'd add very kool examples.

What if you stuffed a Ferrari V-12 into the back of a Ferrari F40? Sacrilege, I guess -- but in this case the chassis was a crash-test car that was basically a write-off. The V-12 is a 5-liter unit from a 550M. Definitely a one-off unique Ferrari.

It makes you wonder how Reliant Robin got it sooo wrong when they had Morgan's tracks to follow. Huh, maybe that's the trouble. Maybe Reliant never saw a Morgan, just it's wheel tracks, and took a guess.

Jeremy Clarkson did an awesome bit on the Reliant Robin for Top Gear. Richard Hammond and James May also set the UK commercial space flight altitude record by launching a Robin on a rocket.....

I've watched those episodes many times. I loved that show until Clarkson's temper tantrum and subsequent removal. Of course Hammond and May left immediately in solidarity. BBC never got that magic back.

BBC's loss is Amazon's gain. I believe that they are up to season 4 of "The Grand Tour," and Jeremy's other show "Clarkson's Farm" has a few hilarious seasons of him being a muppet and fighting the local town.....

I came across this beauty yesterday. It is immaculate inside and out. I would have liked to get a few more photos but I was interrupted by the owner and his son. We chatted for a minute and one thing he told me was that he and the car are the same age... to the month. That doesn't happen very often.

Look up James May on Amazon Prime while you're there. He has some great content.
