http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4gZp2re_D-kThis clip shows most of the above from the love bug. It also has some clips from later films, most notably Herbie races what look like a Ferrari Daytona and a Lancia stratos. He is clearly faster. Quite how he turned into a NASCAR is beyond me, but my daughters loved it!

Herbie, or herbs as i prefer to call him must be a man, he always fall for a sporty young Italian model, unless..................... Agree about the problems with females, I live with 3 of the monsters and two are only 8! |

How about this on from the 60's. I reckon you can guess the make fairly easily, but the question is where was it raced before the USA? There was only one of these to my knowledge. It is now back in the UK but after these pic's, it was race successfully in the 'States. To help, there are two B&W pics.   |

Thats the so called Macau Trimph Spitfire.
It raced in Hong kong (and Macau) in the mid 60's, it then went to the USA but now resides with Dieter Messmer in Switzerland.

As a matter of interest, how did you know so quickly? Are you a Triumph owner? It's actually back in the UK. Rup, there's a beer for you. http://www.canleyclassics.com/triumphmuseum.asp?article=macau.xml |
