Hampton Motor Group of Warwickshire, England is proud to present their new 1966 model range, including the following vehicles:

-
Valiant II (submitted trim: Prime 3.0) - Redesigned for 1966, this is our intermediate-sized car, with a larger cabin for improved comfort. The Valiant II Prime 3.0 starts from $15,000 and comes standard with a higher-grade AM radio, with a premium interior and sound system available in higher-end trims.
-
Valiant Sprint (submitted trim: Valiant V8 5.0) - This high-performance version of the Valiant is aimed at the emerging American muscle and pony car market. Powered by a 245-horsepower 5-litre V8, it packs plenty of performance in a lighter package than most of its competitors, and all at a base price of just $18,800.
-
Transtar (submitted trim: Transtar 2.0) - Now into its tenth year of production, the Transtar remains a compelling choice in the utility van market, with a very high load capacity of over 2 metric tons - and with a low base price to boot, at just $10,200.
The 1966 Hampton Motor Group range will go on sale in the fall of 1965 as 1966 models. Please contact your nearest dealer for test drive inquiries.

Sorry to hear, but thanks for letting me know.

IM: Charge Wesson 315 Hellfire
MU: Charge Wesson 415 GSX
RETCON: The fire happened in 1961 rather than '57
Generous offer saves Anhultz on US market!
Bogliq Automotive USA has offered Anhultz to involve themselves in their recent chassis developments. As such, Anhultz will be able to return to the US market with the 1966 model year.
@VicVictory
imma enter!
note:lore-wise, the basic chassis architecture has been supplied by Bogliq Automotive, but subsequently heavily altered to into Anhultz as a brand, meaning Bogliq and Anhultz Vehicles will have fairly little in common.
(Only things being bodies used and suspension system choice)
Here’s my link to the lore surrounding this event, it was a lot of fun to write and I look forward to how it all pans out come judgement day!

I don’t know if a bunch of you went into hibernation like I did and haven’t seen this yet, or you’re quietly on track to meet the submission deadline, or what. I would like to hear from you guys and see if I maybe need to extend it a bit?
I am working on it. I’ve been spending a good bit of time the past few days and have the intermediate and muscle car finished; the compact will be a refresh so not terrible. If you keep the deadline just don’t be surprised if my utility looks stupid.
Wow thanks for the reminder. Things have been so crazy I totally forgot about it. But 3 days should be Sunday. If that’s the case I should have my entries ready by then. But question, are there enough mods available for the new update or we’re going vanilla?
Autoation 4.0 (UE4.24) is now stable and there are literally scadloads of mods ready and rearing to go!
Most of my cars have mod bodies and fixtures and more are being updated (and created) as we digitally converse!
So get on Steam, download everything you like marked UE_4_24 and create some amazing cars!!!
SIR YES SIR!
I have the cars ready, it’s the writing of the lore I’ll be behind with. I will pm them to you asap
seconding this:
LOADS of good mods to build good cars from, plus i am also using mod bodies (for lore reasons regarding Bogliq Automotive USA)
also:
neat, my hastily made group-ad counts
Approximately 33 hours remaining before deadline!
For 1966, the Earl Motor Company brings you many more stylish, reliable, and competitive models!
The Earl Eagle Special Sedan - Compact Entry
After the intermediate class grew to dominate the family car market, the compact Eagle still remained popular with commuters and fleet buyers. The basic Special trim features less than the Custom but is an excellent value proposition upfront and long term, especially to the first time buyer. This model features an optional 130 gross (105 net) horsepower six, and remains easy to drive and park. Popular with budget-cut government agencies.
The Silverhare Stepford - Intermediate Entry
Between racy styling and a quality image, Silverhare entries in the new mid-sized class consistently outsold their equivalent Earl models. The midsize Silverhare Spear line was completely redesigned for 1966, making this Stepford premium estate the envy of any suburban mom. With full bench seats for true 6 passenger comfort, plus a huge cargo area, and standard V8 engine/automatic transmission combo, this is an excellent choice for the family on-the-way-up. Absolutely nothing insidious or creepy about suburban conformity, no siree.
The Earl Thriftmaster 8-Door - Utility Entry
Earl identified by the early 60s that the sedan utilities and covered trucks of yore were missing an important niche of dedicated delivery vehicles. Various components from both the Eagle line and light duty truck were combined with some ingenuity to form the semi-unitizee Thriftmaster series of compact cargo and passenger vans. The first models only had a four cylinder engine, essentially a cut off version of the venerable Black Smoke Six, however later models could be had with V8s. Unlike other vans the Thriftmaster was available with a front bench seat above the engine and double wishbone suspension, however the center seat was so close to the engine stuffed underneath that it became notorious as the “ass burner” and is an option not shown here. Popular with businesses and mystery-solving hippies alike.
The Silverhare Spear GTA - Muscle Car Entry
By the mid sixties the country had hit a fever pace with pony and muscle cars, and the Earl Motor Company was at the center of it. The newly redesigned midsized Silverhare Spear line featured option sheets to create your own sort of musle car, but presented two heavily advertised, ready-made packages. One, the Spear 4-4-4 (for four barrel, four speed, four tires, but also the engine displacement) with its big block was very powerful, but was an unsophisticated, ill handling machine with bad brakes, designed simply to go fast in a straight line on the cheap. The Spear GTA, however, was a gentleman’s muscle car, with a decent quality interior and radio, mag racing wheels, functional scoop, sports tuned suspension (granted, with a live axle), bucket seats and console, and the ultimate tune of the 357 cubic inch small block Caliber V8, with 320 gross (250 net) horsepower. While slightly slower, the lower weight/better distribution and reasonably mpg made it the wiser choice. Plus, the stripe was kinda snazzy.
