David WilkinsThe recently featured Austin Healey Sprite and MG Midget were big sellers. But did you know that these British sisters had a couple of arguably more glamorous Italian cousins, the Innocenti Spider convertible, and this car, the Spider’s fixed-head counterpart, the C Coupé? Sold between 1961 and 1968. The bodies were built by Ghia of Turin. Snapped at the Practical Classics resto show.

Dom Arbuthnott<a href="https://mastodon.green/@gerrymcgovern" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gerrymcgovern</a> "The climate crisis is seen as a problem requiring a solution rather than a symptom of [resource extraction] overshoot. The problem is generally formulated as looking for a way to maintain current lifestyles in the wealthy world, rather than reducing overshoot." Each one of us, especially if you have lived a "full" life already, has to contribute to reducing overshoot by cutting back on stuff. Hard but essential. <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climatechange</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/overshoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#overshoot</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/fossilfuel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fossilfuel</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#degrowth</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Ghia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ghia</a>

David WilkinsOne last car with a Ghia connection, the Renault Caravelle, or Floride as it was called in some countries, which was sold from 1958 to 1968. Designed by Pietro Frua when he was head of design at Ghia. Just as the original VW Karmann Ghia borrowed the Beetle as its base, so the Caravelle leant on Renault’s rear-engined Dauphine for most of its under-the-skin parts. Blurry phone shot from Techno Classica Essen in 2013. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeirdCarMastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/davidsdailycar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#davidsdailycar</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Renault" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Renault</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Ghia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ghia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Frua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Frua</a>

David WilkinsAfter the Karmann Ghias, another car designed by Ghia, the Fiat 2300 S Coupé Ghia, which I snapped at the Bremen Classic Motor Show in 2016. This was based on the much staider Fiat 2300 saloon. In 1970, Ghia became part of Ford, so work for external customers such as Volkswagen and Fiat fell away. The Ghia badge was subsequently used to denote Ford’s top trim level and the link to Italian design became ever more tenuous. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeirdCarMastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/davidsdailycar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#davidsdailycar</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Fiat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fiat</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Ghia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ghia</a>
