Maybe a little less rim and more tire would be better some.
I could live with it

Not really low level flight, this pilot nearly buys the farm at the bottom of a loop. The tail strike occurred during at a 1990 airshow in Harrison, Arkansas. Photographer, who was a technician for the FAA and somewhat of a camera buff, was tracking with his camera, as this guy looped off the deck in a MiG-17. The pilot had just completed a loop and misjudged his pull-out. Everyone considering themselves as potential victims, took-off running in all directions. But the photographer had a non-threatening position along with a strong motivation to take the picture. So just as the MiG scraped the ground, he captured this rare image… Oh, by the way, the guy just made a wide circle, lowered his landing gear, touched down . . then taxied in showing scratched paint, but no sheet metal damage.

I would expect to see way more dust in the jet plume. Whether its real or RC, I'm sure the pilot shat himself.

2nd car isn't a Jensen, but a Volvo P1800ES...

You may have the Jensen GT in mind, it was of a similar design:

I would feel more comy underneath it if it had a some outriggers and a wider stance. Seems too heavy like that.

Man, I would have a tough time deciding which I'd rather have - the GT, or that truck and enough cash to make it "barely" street legal.

Ahh, thats right.

You might find this interesting..apparently at one point, Jensen was doing some of the bodywork on the P1800

Volvo P1800: In 1960 Jensen won a contract from Volvo to assemble and finish the bodies for their P1800 coupé. Pressed Steel manufactured the body-shells at their Linwood plant in Scotland and shipped them to Jensen in West Bromwich to be finished, painted and trimmed and made ready for distribution. The first batch for evaluation came off the production line in May 1961. The engine and gearbox were from Sweden, the back axle from USA and the electrical system from Germany, otherwise the car was all British.[12] By March 1962 1,100 men were busy in Jensen's West Bromwich works making Austin-Healey bodies and Volvo and Jensen cars.[13] By 1963 the contract was ended early due to quality concerns and P1800 production was moved to Gothenburg, Sweden.

P1800ES look much better than Jensen ES


That volvo even look good on that tire / wheel combo, even if it is quite "gay" in my eyes.
But i am sure putting it on normal wheel and tire size would take some from that look.
