Techno-Classica 2013: Gallery of the cool, strange and unusual
Buried within the 20 halls of Techno-Classica Essen, you're guaranteed to run into all manner of interesting, curious and downright unusual cars, lorries or motorcycles. And this year was no exception.
The organisers of the show have confirmed that with more than 2000 cars on show, this was the biggest show yet - so if you were there, you were sure to run into something that left you puzzled. Here for your enjoyment are 15 such exhibits - some rare, some silly, and all fascinating.
The 1958-'64 Facel Vega Excellence isn't exactly popuar with a total of 156 built, so running into this example on sale by The Ultimate Garage at Essen was very pleasing. The car was actually a saloon that was spun from the HK500 Coupe, but retained the original's exquisite looks. The 'suicide' rear doors were a classy touvh, too.
