Another Mint Success Story: We can help you too!

Category: Uncategorized Leave a Comment

 

1100d roomatesWe featured this cute Fiat Millecento on September 4th and guess who snapped it up? No, not jay Leno, but Brian Peters from Motoring Investments in San Diego. There’s the little Fiat in good company at Brian’s restoration shop. We have his 450SLC featured today on Mint. We are happy to hear that the Fiat was represented properly and Brian is thrilled with his acquisition. Don’t know if this is a replacement for his 450SLC but we sort of doubt it. This is a good reminder that Mint2me not only features cars that we find, we also feature cars our readers want to sell. In addition, we can find specific cars you are interested in acquiring. Read what we can do and our terms under the tab Get it on Mint.

Fun for four: ’76 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC

Category: Submitted Tags: , Leave a Comment

1976 Mercedes Benz 450SLC

The 450SLC  was a 2 door hardtop coupe with normal rear seats. Few people know (or care) that the SLC, is commonly referred to as a ‘SL coupe’, but in reality it was an S-class coupe, replacing the former sedan-based 280/300 SE coupé in Mercedes lineup. When they were available, they were the most expensive Mercedes in the line-up. At the time, many felt they looked a little awkward but we think the styling and importance of these low-slung coupes has a place in the collector car world. Read More

Clash of the Titans: Rush, the movie.

If you read the reviews of Ron Howard’s new movie, Rush, it is universal; you don’t have to be a fan of motor racing to be enthralled with this movie. We are to congratulate Mr. Howard for avoiding all of the clichés of previous efforts to bring motor racing to the big screen. Yes, I love watching LeMans with Steve McQueen and occasionally, I enjoy revisiting Grand Prix with an all-star cast including real legends of the Grand Prix circuit. Other efforts have been less successful although I haven’t seen Winning in a long time and I do love Paul Newman.  I did some YouTube diving today and found a really well done BBC documentary series featuring the 1976 Grand Prix season titled Clash of the Titans. It features interviews from Lauda, Formula 1 team managers and other surviving racers except for the deceased Mr. Hunt who died of a heart attack in bed at the age of 45. You decide if you want a refresher on that incredible season of racing before or after seeing the movie. Click on the image to go to the documentary…

Demonic (again): 2002 Honda S2000

Category: Submitted Tags: , , 1 Comment

2002 Honda S2000

We featured a Honda S2000 a few months ago and got a great response. These Hondas are really terrific on paper and on the road. Just look at the stats. It has 240hp, a 9,000 rpm redline, rifle-bolt 6-speed, crazy cool dash, and a big red start button. Throw in a power top, A/C and Honda’s legendary build quality and I think you might see the light.  Read More
