@QuirkyRides "Like" for #quirk factor, not the car. Nickname for Volvo 1800ES was "Snow White's hearse" - suits this car better. Looks like a melted Volvo.

@QuirkyRides I had a production 1800ES and loved it. Always liked this (from pix) too. It's in the Volvo museum near Gothenburg.

@Paxmere @QuirkyRides Volvo PV444 and the van is a Volvo Duett. The Futurmobil is on display at Svedino's motor museum in south west Sweden.

@QuirkyRides That's the one I wondered about..Not enough of the van to identify it but the back end of the car is distinctive...

The one-off "Future" concept car, designed and built by #Swedish 🇸🇪engineer #SigvardBerggren in the early #1950s

@LindisfarneNow @rod_clements thank you for another cracking night at the City Hall 🤩👏

@QuirkyRides Want one of those estate wagons from the back - very Volvo Duett in style

So it transpires that @MichaelRosenYes was completely, chillingly right in Feb 2020 when pointing out the UK government response was that "the virus should be allowed to fly free round the population, so that the market can be free. Mass death would be a necessary price to pay for the market to go on doing what it does..." 1/4

@NigelStonier @EganStonier Happy Birthday Egan!

Happy 19th Birthday ⁦@EganStonier⁩ Musician, writer, raconteur, sonic activist.. I'm holding back on too much mawkish 'proud Dad' stuff but sheesh mate You Rock ❤️🤘

@BriansElectro Looks like they are to depress the strings between bridge and tailpiece, increasing the break angle over the bridge.

This Wandre Roby from 1964 is cool. I'm wondering what the function of the wires that come through the body and go across the strings and then back under each side of the bridge is for? #guitar

It's with regret that we have come to feel that this site is no longer the place for us. We've been on the app for almost eight years, and through all its iterations we have hung on for one reason: because of the brilliant online community we feel lucky to have become part of 👇🏻

@BriansElectro Looks Wandre-ish... is it?

Mornin ax masters. ☕️ This head weighs as much as an ax. 👁👁 #guitar

PLEASE SHARE: A good friend of ours has had his super clean - and super rare - Datsun Bluebird stolen from West Wickham, Kent, UK, last Wednesday evening. We need your help to save it from export or banger racing. Message us with information and we’ll pass it on. Thank you!

@JapaneseIcons I knew someone who had a C reg one. Lovely big barge of an estate car. Hope your friend gets theirs back soon.

@ProofreadJulia Hee hee! That's hilarious 😂!

@BriansElectro Looks like an early P bass he's got there.

Look at these young lads. 🤘 #RocknRoll

@QuirkyRides Wow!

#Renault 10CV Type MH #6x6 Sahara #1920s

@BriansElectro This is from when Kay was made in Japan, right? Has that Teisco/Kawai/Hound Dog Taylor look about it. Badass for sure - bet it sounds great.

1966 Kay K-403 These are pretty badass. 🤘 #guitar #RocknRoll

@BriansElectro I got one of them too! The amp in the case still works.

Silvertone/Danelectro guitar and amp cases: I don't know how many of these I've worked on over the years? One of the first paying jobs I got in the late 70s was working on one of these setups. If you got one? Chances are my grubby hands were probly in it. lol😆 The Danelectro Amp-In-Case, properly known as a semi-hollow body due to its Masonite top and back, with pine outer structure. "All-in-one" Amplifier-Case or Silvertone 1448/1449/1451/1452/1457 is a line of guitar sets introduced from 1962 to 1968. It was sold for US$67.95. Sometimes including a 45 rpm how-to-play record, as part of Sears Silvertone. It was later reissued in 2008 in modified form as the "Dano '63" without the amp-in-case. The Dano '63 was also available as a baritone guitar and a long- and short-scale bass guitar.🤘 #guitar #amplifier

@BriansElectro The book is a comprehensive biography of Wandre and history of his guitars, not that well written or translated, but valuable source material. I found my copy (new) on eBay. (2/2)

@BriansElectro Here's mine, a c. 1962 Spazial - one of his more "conventional" (!) models (1/2)

Mornin! Happy Sunday 🤘 Wandre Guitars: Is a brand started by the Italian guitar manufacturer Antonio Vandrè Pioli. The guitars were originally designed and manufactured from 1957 to 1968 by Pioli in Cavriago, Italy. Very small productions were made, which makes these guitars very sought after in the vintage guitar market. Some guitars by Pioli have appeared under other brand names such as Framez, Davoli, Dallas, Avalon, Noble, Lipsky.🤘 #guitar #RocknRoll

@QuirkyRides Definitely a Kaiser influence. One of the young Jan Wilsgaard's first designs. Philip is in the Volvo museum in Gothenburg.

1952 #Volvo Philip concept of which one was made in a putative attempt to access the #US market. It had a 3.6L #V8
