The Cheetah blows me away, what a beast
I had a Cheetah slot car in the mid-sixties.
I did too. Then I got to see and ride in one that belonged to one of the Firestone kids at Parsons College in 1966. That thing was a beast. It is the sexiest car ever made. Better the any Shelby Cobra, in my opinion. Only 11 of the original s were made.
Some weird and wonderful cars there, about 50% of them familiar to me. Thanks for showing us ‘em.

the owner had a controller connected to the car it would be cool if it's a factory standard because i wouldnt mind having one to scare my friends lmao
still producing Marcus car spares at a garage near me ,about 12 miles away from where Marcos were built in the first place ,still see a fair few in this neck of the woods
Alot of sweet looking rides.. loved it!!! :) :D
The Cheetah is insanity on wheels...just madness.
How come there's never any love for the Opel GT?
the finest example of a car that wants to be obscure, rare or strange and isn't any of those. It's a Kadett in drag.
Because nobody can fit in it. Ditto for the Lotus Europa.
Wow! This was so cool. If your going to show unique French cars then don't forget about mvs Venturi. I knew about the Puma though. Thank you.
I, too have heard of most of these, but the Kellison and the Marcos GT, both new to me, are definitely my favorites.
Thanks for finding all these great old obscurities. Surprising how well most of them have aged, or maybe I'm getting sentimental :)
If you are sentimental , im too :) It was beautiful cars ! Cheers and have a nice day
Oh man that smooth sound... 0:54 So sweet😋👌
Great work. The Cheetha is a very interesting machine. I have the opportunity to follow a complete restoration and race preparation on one of these cars. Thing is, it's so small that you actually sit on the rear axel and more or less have the engine in your knees and the fueltank as a backpack. The gear box and rear axel are connected direct without any prop shaft. It has absolute no impact safety of any kind, more than the rollbar. It is a murderous fast machine, with prox 500hp and 750Kg you will feel the G-force. With a wheelbase at 90"/228cm it can be a quite snappy handling. All the best.
@chowd.a.d.8309 So cheetah is your favourite car from this video ? :) it was brutal machine
Really like that muscular look of the Cheetah. Bet it corners well too. The engine is virtually mid-wheelbase, add the trans and it's got brilliant weight distribution! love it!
Actually they were terrible handling and the driver would be overcome by heat inside of it. At the strip, they were a blast, but a long road course and you had your hands full.
@@mopar_dude9227 I believe you! Just a suckr for big ass front engine rear drive old school. Steer with throttle huh? 😊
The very first car at the beginning of the video scared me a bet... This is something I wouldn't come close to.
I like the Cheetah but what happened to the rest of the rear end, I also like the Puma with the remote control burn out.
Robert Payne the rear is useless in a racing car. Most people know this.
0:58 I though Cheetah from GTA series looks different
That Melkus idle sounds like the applause at a Mike Pence speech.
Puma GTB pretty sweet dont think i'd seen one but if they weren't in the U.S.. Brazil & Australia got some cool car designs i wish we'd gotten in U.S their Ford Falcon look Half Mustang/ Half Torino & many others
For the Melkus I thought for the longest time the sound was a half-hearted round of applause... and then I saw the exhaust.
Two stroker from Eisenach! 👍🏻
@@michaelmax5161 Its origins go back to the DKW F9 prototype from 1940, which later got built as IFA F9 in Zwickau, former East Germany and DKW F89 in Duesseldorf, West Germany.
You "forgot" the STERLING.
Great music.
Rolls Royce +Agree ! and Thank you :)
Is that first car, the orange one, making popcorn?
interestingly, theses obscure low volume kit type cars often share similarly clunky, awkward and generally just wrong styling.
Love the 'woo-hoos' from the occupants of the Matra Bagheera as their 1.4-litre flyweight massively outbrakes a V8 Mustang and sails past it.
Have you driven a Lotus Elise? Untouchable, for the same reason. Damned uncomfortable though.
@@TheIamIrving I once hired the first version for a long weekend. It was a revelation in responsiveness, but I never quite got used to the crash and clonk of the suspension.
@@shanehnorman - Afaik Lotus never had enough money to shake out their cars properly. I've driven a few but (luckily) never owned one. I burnt my money on Alfas until I got sense. Almost affordable madness. The Brera was the last straw. I have a Toyota now and am a respectable man. Bored, but sensible.
I agree.
The Matra Bagheera looks virtually identical to the Alfa Romeo GTV6.
珍車っすね！！
珍車って言ったら失礼ですが個人的に秀樹も珍車が大好きです♪
One small detail which could have been mentioned on the Matra Bagheera being that it was a three seater, abreast.
Im gonna say that the puma gtb is a giant control car
The bricklin literally had nothing in common with a lotus esprit.
I wish we could still make cars as cool as these dont get me wrong i love the cars we see now but back then there were no dumb rules regulations or restrictions you could make whatever..
Back then people had common sense. The world as we know it today was not padded to protect the stupid who did not respect a powerful Machine. If they noose they loose. Now any one can sue for anything so car companies have to follow all these regulations just to stay in business.
Is it just me or does that Bricklin look suspiciously the Delorean ?
That first one should be called Lady fingers, or pop corn
😂😂😂😂😂😂 the cheetah is a mid engine rear wheel drive monster, with option of a driver in the trunk
I think it's true to say that only earlier Marcos were kits (not sure).
2:06 Brazil !!!
The Scarab was another Chevy powered Cobra competitor.
A Monteverdi High Speed 375 please. Preferably an early model ('68-'69?) with the lower sloped grill.
Marcos 👍👍
Bricklin was the 70s Delorean
3:07 - автомобиль Юрия Гагарина.
forgot?...never even heard of em. never knew they existed...
2:31 - 2:41 Am I watching James Bond movie or a car related video?
the 6 cylinder sounds great
I wonder how hard and rare it would be to buy one and get parts for them
Puma e legal
Vdd
0:15 Gullwing doors on sports cars are provided by the manufacturer to encourage drivers to be careful when driving on curves, because if you roll the car onto it's top, you cannot free yourself until the car is put back on it's wheels again, which may be for hours or even days.
possibly weeks and months too
the back of that puma looks like a datsun 240z
Or a Citroen SM with the Maser engine and brown leather seats.
Cheetah good copy of legendary Shelby Cobra 427?
Puma GTB-Who want that remote control thing too?:)
Hi
Was the Puma just a Vega on steroids?
Errr.... Mr.CarNews TV Why don't you look into anything Matra-Simca, the Citroen SM and the (definitely forgotten) Ferrari "Breadvan"?
See; I've probably got an unfair advantage in that (as a v.young) child I pored over daddy's '60s "Motorsport" magazines.
I always dreamed about owning a Skoda 136Rapid while everyone else thought "Skoda? Crap"....
Oh, and don't forget the Marcos Mantula. Even include those road-legal sofas people keep building: Sofas generally have wooden frames....
After watching the video it's clear why we forgot those cars! LOL
If I recall correctly, the Baghera had three seats in line with the driver, who actually sat in, as it were, "the middle". Strange jam-jar.
MsG
No, the driver still sat in the left seat.
Melkus RS 1000? Looks (and sounds) like a Saab Sonnett with that 3 cylinder 2 stroke. Wartburg anywhere near Trolhaven?
DKW
nope, the car was built by a local car dealer in Dresden by hand and sold in east germany. They did this, because there werent any other sportscars available and they needed a base for a rececar...
the car dealer still exists btw :3
You forgot the Manic GT
Cheetah !!!
You forgot about the Manic GT, French Canadian made sport car. Also, the thumbnail picture show a white car with a red number on it, but it wasn't in this vid. What car was it? Unless I'm mistaken, it's not a Cheetah.
ChasseGallerie Kellison
@@bloemkoolpap thx
@:25 Corn popper
So if you did a burnout in the puma who would get arrested?
Puma really a control or someone made it custom?!
Bricksin is literally the lotus esprit
That Matra is fugly...
The first one
They all sound they need a tune up.
Ma la melkus rs stava facendo i pop corn?
The Melkus RS 100 "LOL!!!" Why its the American Bandstand rate a record car, WE'LL DICK I'LL GIVE IT A 72 IT'S GOT A BEAT AND YOU CAN DANCE TO IT. "LOL!!!"
The Cheetah looked pretty smart, though I'd hate to be driving it and have a rear end crash. :-((...
As for the rest, they all look like "interesting" kit cars. I can smell the fibreglass and dope already :-((... So it's hardly surprising that they've all gone into obscurity.
Bolwell Nagari
Why oh why do we frenchies have to fit our sports cars with dwarf engines ? Wouldn't a V6 pwr'd Djet be interesting?
Love the video just finding it hard how people classed a car with 51kw of power as a sports car 😂
The Bagheera overtook the Mustang on the track in the last video AND sounded like a sport car. It looks the biz too, but only about 90 hp. Any MG would be considered a sportscar. Very few have any significant power.
Shelby's Ford 427 big-block powered Cobra beat the brakes off that ugly Junkvette knockoff the Cheetah....and you failed to mention that the Bricklin was runnin what is arguably the greatest, most tunable small block ever created, that being the Ford 351 Cleveland, that motor's a torque monster and damn near bullet proof...
Branon Fontaine + Thank you for the opinion and info that taught me something new :)
Where the FUCK is the car from the thumbnail?!
Who forget the Capri? Pfa millenians...
mucho ruido y pocas nueces ja ja ja
The Matra Djet looks like an Alpine A110 with FAS.
Based on looks alone, it's best that they be forgotten.
Forget the Cheetah? Not a chance! Bill Thomas garage built Cobra wannabe but rude, crude, a bitch to drive and more fun than a human being should be legally allowed to have. : )
I remember cheetah as ferrai tesstarosa
Cheetah...... ORRIBLE CAR !
Qué autos más feos!
ITS JUST GROSS!
