I visited the Norwegian Sports Car Club's spring mustering last Sunday at Øvrevoll gallop. Here you can find Norway's most beautiful sports cars with the opportunity to study extremely rare and exclusive cars up close. Here are some of them.
In total only around 900 Jowett Jupiters were produced. It achieved several victories in motor racing at the time. Jowett was a very well-known car brand in England with a production site in West Yorkshire, England. The most popular model after the war was Jowett Javelin – a 4-door premium sedan.
The Porsche 356 Speedster has had a renaissance as a replica car. Most Speedsters you see on the road are replicas. The car in the picture, however, is an original Speedster. The prices of these cars have really skyrocketed in recent years.
TVR is an English sports car manufacturer that builds cars in small series. They are built from fiberglass material on tubular steel frames. The car in the picture is one of the first built in the early 1960s, a Grantura probably series II or IIa. In total, about 400 cars were built in this series.
I must admit that I have never seen or heard of this model. At first I thought it was a Indy, but it is a Khamsin – a model that was produced during very turbulent times for Maserati. Despite sales being poor after the oil crisis and despite the owners, Citroen, struggling financially – Maserati built very beautiful cars.
The Mitsubishi 3000 GT is not something you see every day. According to AI, there are about 90 cars in Norway. This is a type of car that I believe was made for the American market.
I have no problem naming this the most beautiful car of today. It is a hand-built, German grand tourer with a V8 engine taken from the BMW 550i and a 6-speed manual transmission. Ready to drive, it weighs under 1300 kg. This one is for sale for just under 2 million kroner Advertisement.
This is a model that appears when exclusive sports cars are shown. According to the vehicle register, there are 6 cars of this model in Norway, first registered between 2005 and 2007.
You could say this was every boy's dream in the 1970s. A beautiful 2-door hardtop coupe and the top model in the Firebird series. Later years of the Trans Am played an important role along with Burt Reynolds, Sally Fields og Jerry reed i Smokey and the bandit the movies.
2025 GT40 – previously exhibited at the Oslo Motor Show along with other GT40 cars. The car is built by Kristian Lord Flaem. I'm not sure what kind of drivetrain is hiding under the tough shell, but I wonder if the car could be built with an Audi 4.2 V8 transaxle solution? If so, there should be several projects that have used the same solution.
