1980s Red Range Rover Defender One Ten, on S. First St at Live Oak

Written by Ken Altes

Great looking. Check out the tall exhaust pipe that rises above the top of the windscreen – wonder how deep the water it can pass through.  The 110 reflects its wheelbase. Made from 1983 to 1990. More details on Wiki.

Rare Custom Sparks Turbo at Custom Car Crafters in N. Austin

Written by Ken Altes

Not what I first thought. This is a steel body on a Cadillac chassis with a turbo charged Caddy engine.  Sparks apparently made about 90 roadsters like this in the early 1980s.  Seems to be related to the Clenet, similar looking. French leather interior, long wheelbase.
