After the last jetpunk special post on military aircraft, here’s one on cars. Again, they’re presented in a Top Trumps-like format, so you could print the page off, cut them out, laminate them and play very short games of Trumps with them…

It’s a shame, isn’t it, that the most iconic machines of an age tend to be inefficient and polluting toys affordable only by the hyper-rich?

To be fair, not all of the cars are supercars or luxury cars. And the concept cars were more done to show off designs rather than to prototype cars intended for production.
But then, the affordable cars were generally ugly – like the Austin Allegro. You paid for visual appeal just as much as you paid for bhp, top speed and leather seats.

I’m sure half these cars were on ‘Captain Scarlet’ at some point?

There was only one car on Captain Scarlet, the Spectrum Patrol Car. As any fule kno 🙂

Do these count as ‘Fenderpunk’, or something else?
