We at the dailyturismo tend to shun any kit cars that resemble true vintage production cars. Its not for some absurd respect for Carrol Shelby’s final wishes – but it is because we believe that if you want a car that looks like a Shelby Cobra or Porsche 550 – you should buy one, not […]
No – not another damn BMW….ok, fine, you try and find another manufacturer who made sporty, clutch equipped, rear wheel drive cars with questionable reliability in mid 90s and I will post them…in the meantime, expect to see some entries from Bavaria! This 1991 BMW M5 is located in Winnipeg, MB, Canada and is currently […]
There’s something to be said for a simple, solid, rear-wheel drive, 4-cylinder, manual trans car. Plenty of room to wrench under the hood, with no fussy transaxle to get in your way.

The BMW e31 platform was launched in 1989 as a high end successor to the e21 6-series. For the price of a few options on a brand new BMW you can own a used V12 equipped 850i like this 1992 model located in Long Beach, CA for $9999 asking (via craigslist). The 850 was a […]

When the second generation Toyota MR2 was launched in 1989 – it offered Ferrari looks with Fiat pricing. Mid-engine Runabout 2seater was thankfully shortened to MR2 to reduce the cost of badges on the car and the ‘mister 2’ is known as ‘2’ to his friends. This 1993 MR2 is one of the sought after […]
When mobsters need a car they always look for something 4-door, large trunk, black on black, big engine, slushbox auto (easier to shoot at other mobsters when driving if your not trying to shift) – and this 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT8 fits the bill. Its even already been stolen (probably by mobsters) and recovered by […]

At $4499 asking this car will need some maintenance and possibly a few parts to get it to […]
