Wow. I actually like the proportions of this car. Too bad it's that color.
Description: The Scimitar (goofy name, we know) first appeared as a coupe back in 1964. Originally powered by a Ford 2.6-liter straight-six, this was later replaced in 1966 with the 3.0-liter Ford "Essex"...

And I blanked out on the Lagonda Rapier and the Rapier Cars company, as well. Ah... The effects of WD-40 and poor ventilation!
A scimitar is a type of sword. That's not any "goofier" a name than Cutlass, thinking about it. (okay, Cutlass sounds better, admittedly). If they called it Rapier, then, well...
Description: Called the GTE, the unique design wasn't the car's only attribute. It received a different chassis frame, a new and relocated fuel tank, rollover bar, a revised suspension and cooling system...

This thing barely has any body panel gaps. It is like they carved out one big block of sheet metal and stuck bumpers on it.
Description: It sold well but its funky design was not to everyone's taste. By 1980, Ford stopped building the Essex engine so Reliant replaced it with the Cologne V6, an engine that was only discontinued a f...

Even if it's got air, yanking that tire out from under there is gonna make a flat tire suck a little more
Still, the very dry and potentially hot under-hood conditions can be very hostile to tires. I've seen enough heat-induced dry-rot from this in my 20 plus years in auto industry to be aware of it.
First off, it was meant as levity, which was obviously lost on your joyless self. Second, modern tires are less than 14% actual rubber in most instances, with the remainder largely being carbon black, silicone and silica.
I'm guessing u never heard of tire warmers, or that tires are rubber not latex, big difference, being in the engine bay was to keep the tire from drying out, tires in the engine bay had a chemicals aplied to the rubber that reacted with heat to keep the compound from drying out after years
I always get a little chuckle when I see spares mounted in the engine bay. Nothing like the heat of an engine for the longevity and integrity of rubber. It's a similarly bad choice for condom storage, as well. (live and learn, right?)
Description: It was imported to the US from the UK back in 2006 by a California-based collector, but was unable to drive due to strict requirements involving submitting a complete list of previous owners. It has a...

Hahahahahahaha
She got nicked for speeding in it too.
Nick, I hoped someone would have said that.
Idk that.
