But this is not a raw sports car for the circuits, it´s a car meant to be enjoyed on the roads, thus it is equipped with a luxury interior and a suspension that manages to keep this car in control at all times without shattering your bones.
And we couldn´t finish without taking about the exterior, designed with the help of famous Spanish coachbuilder Serra, who gave this car an uniquely european flair.

AUTHIÉ ET DALLIER 6/26 GT 2+2
Maybe you don’t need a handcrafted leather interior, handbuilt aluminium body, genuine wire wheels clad with Tyrelli Binturato radials, a 202 hp twin cam inlline six or a top speed of almost 140 miles per hour?
On the other hand, if you can get it, why settle for less?

Can anyone explain what the tech pool rule means, it says +1 everywhere +35 does that mean I start with 1 in everything or do I get 45?
You start with +1 techpool in all areas, and can add up to 20 and 35 points to this initial allotment for the engine and trim, respectively.
Quick question!
Does this mean only 1x 7 inch light, or are 2x 7 inch, or 1x 7 inch + 1x 2.75 inch acceptable?
(/me is not from the USA and have no real idea)
Only a single 7 inch or two 5.75 inch lights are allowed.
Chopping and changing isn’t allowed
A pair of 7" sealed-beam headlights were mandatory from 1940. In 1957, a quad of 5.75" headlights were allowed as an alternative option. In 1967, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 was implemented, which reorganized and added to previous laws.
Regarding your question about additional lights, it gets a bit complicated. FMVSS 108, as well as the relevant California state law (CVC 24400-24411), both explicitly allow lights in addition to headlights, with their own, generally looser regulations, calling them “driving lamps”, “fog lamps”, “passing lamps”, and other terms. However, that applies from 1967, and I’ve been unable to find the federal law in effect in 1959.
However, California’s laws date from 1959, and it’s unlikely that it would allow lights that federal laws did not. So to answer your question: probably not; you must have either two 7" or four 5.75" round lamps at a certain height and width and with nothing in front of them, but you may also have additional lamps with less strict rules.

Actually, light covers were still legal in this era. They were, AFAIK, outlawed in 1967, same year as VW changed the design of their fenders and headlights.
That’s possible. It’d help if I could find the older federal law. My basis for adding “with nothing in front” is from a Jaguar concourse judging handbook mentioning that the tri-bar (Mercedes logo) lights were not legal in the US, including before 1967, but allowing these lights for concourse events as being period-correct anyway.
Yeah, but the tri-bars did have separate bulbs IIRC, while the rules mandated sealed beams. I guess that’s where the problem lies here.
Hey baby the Valet is here, what is…that

If this looks familiar...
Yes it’s the big beetle again. I was gonna be lazy and just repost this, with a shittier rear suspension, but convertibles are objectively more Swag. Too bad the official body is based on the sedan and not the coupe.

1959 Turból Caccia Florio
Details
In the postwar US craze for European sports cars, TRBL Corp. formed Turból to produce a home-grown sports car to fill the growing market niche. While initially cheap and cheerful machines meant to be affordable to the average ex-GI, by the late 1950s, the brand’s focus had shifted significantly upward. Success in the World Sportscar Championship had thrust the prestige of the Turból brand into a similar air to expensive and exotic European makes, and their road car offerings changed accordingly.
Underpinning the Caccia Florio were familiar underpinnings, mostly unchanged from the Turból Caelus. But while the Caelus was a relatively affordable machine, Turból’s lofty aspirations and the ever-moving design trends of the era resulted in a dramatic facelift in 1958. No less dramatic was the car’s shift in intended market; while the Caelus was relatively affordable, the Caccia Florio was an ultra luxurious GT hand-built to exacting quality standards. With TRBL’s recent acquisition of luxury brands Cabirou and Voncil, TRBL direct them to work on the interior of the car, with one goal in mind: exceeding the build quality of every European rival, while still aiming to undercut them in price.
The car would not be allowed to suffer in performance either. Fully independent suspension carried over from the Caelus maintained sports car handling despite the additional weight. Motivating the car was TRBL’s corporate 274ci “Starpower” small block V8, rated at 255 gross hp. Combined with front disc brakes, a limited-slip differential, and a 4 speed manual transmission, the sprint to 62 was completed in 7.5 seconds on the way to a 142 mph top speed.

1959 BSC America Export
First launched in 1953, the 1959 year was the final update to the America line of coupe’s from BSC. Something more modern was just on the horizon, however to prove there was still life left in this design the '59 “export” swapped the Knightwick four litre inline six for a four point six litre V eight imported from Valiant, with a free flowing four barrel carb and hand formed exhaust manifolds.
For the export model more focus is placed on luxury and comfort so there is luxury leather seats front and rear, wood veneer is used for much of the interior and a state of the art in dash am radio is standard.
The engine has been tuned for torque delivery due to the use of a three speed automatic gearbox, speed however is not impacted as the 0-100 time and top speed is competitive for the class.
