Kintoko’s Ex-Police CB650

This ex Indonesian Police CB650 was sent in to us by Kintoko Adeji who picked the bike up in very rough condition, and still in full Police trim, where it served the force in the 1980s. It ran badly, the exhaust leaked and it was covered in rust.

Here’s how she arrived…

At first it was going to be a restoration project and Kintoko sent it to a small garage in Jogjakarta, Tendjo, Klasyk Kustom (I’ll let you do your own translation), but after they rebuilt the engine Kintoko had a change of heart and set his sights on a Cafe/Brat having seen a few bikes from the Wrench Monkees.

His budget was tight and he had to use as many original parts as possible, although it did get custom exhaust pipes, seat, rear fender, clock mountings, new wheels and a host of the usual cafe/brat must-have parts..

And the end result? As Kintoko puts it; “Good bye heavy looking police bike and welcome the new simple look.”

Awesome.

Featured Listing – 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk. III

The Austin-Healey story hardly needs introduction here. The joint venture of British Motor Corporation’s Austin division and the Donald Healey Motor Company proved to be one of the most important partnerships in the history of the sports car, and resulted in one of the most iconic, representative British automobiles of the postwar sports car craze. The Austin-Healey 3000, introduced in 1959, was the last, most refined, and arguably best known of the “Big Healeys”. This 1967 3000, a Mark III, is from the car’s last year of production and therefore the last batch of six-cylinder cars built by the Austin-Healey partnership. After Donald Healey went to join Jensen in 1972, the Austin-Healey name was a thing of the past.

The Mk. III, or BJ8 version of the popular 3000 was introduced in 1963 and had a longer production run than its Mk. I and Mk. II predecessors, with almost 18,000 made. Power was rated at around 150 from the venerable BMC C-Series straight-six. The Mk. III was also the most refined of the Healeys, with more standard luxurious creature comforts and 2+2 seating. This particular 3000 is really about as nice an example as one can expect to find. With a “believed” 18,053 actual miles and reportedly only one owner from new, this West Virginia-kept Big Healey was recently restored to its simply stunning present condition. With the blue on blue and excellent wooden dash, this car absolutely screams classic, open-top British motoring, and its condition, along with a clean history, will almost certainly bring pretty serious money. Find the 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk. III here at the Mecum Kissimmee auction taking place between January 18 and 27, 2013.

Budget Brawler – 1967 Triumph TR4

They say there’s no cheap way to go racing, but the car featured here, located in McDonough, Georgia, comes pretty close. Introduced in 1961, the TR4 was a worthy bearer of the Triumph name, sporting an improved version of the Ferguson tractor-derived engine on previous TRs and a more modern body styled by Michelotti that still looks handsome from any angle. Like other TRs and like so many of its peers in the small British sports car realm, the TR4 was equally at home on the race track as it was on the roads. TR4s scored class wins in international competition at Sebring and won the SCCA’s D and E-Production championships. E-Production TR4s were competitive in the SCCA long after production of the car stopped, racking up wins in the 1980s and 1990s in the process.

This particular TR4 is a nicely presented car with a lot of appeal for the aspiring vintage racer. It has no reported race history, and is advertised as a “Vintage Race Car Replica w/ Modifications for Weekend Track Days”, but, judging from the pictures, it would not take a lot to make this a full-on track car. With the cost of even more modest vintage racing cars getting on the high side, this clean old Triumph offers up a lot of fun and a lot of character for a fair asking price. Check out the 1967 Triumph TR4 here on eBay, where the “Buy It Now” price is set at $13,500.

Range Rover tows an Airstream from English Lake District to Morocco and back

A 2013 Range Rover was able to tow an Airstream 684 Series 2 from English Lake District to Morocco.

For this adventure Land Rover selected the Autobiography variant fitted with the SDV8 engine producing 339 HP (249 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque. The aluminum travel trailer was hitched to the SUV's electrically deployable tow bar and was transported from Airstream's European home in the English Lake District to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco and back.

In 11 days the Range Rover towed the 2,399 kg (5,289 lbs) Airstream for 3,676 miles (5,916 km) on just about any type of terrain possible. The SUV was driven for at least 12 hours every day during the trip, from Spain's empty motorways to the difficult hairpins of the High Atlas.
