classic car in flames-Edinburgh main street

Rather than an exhaust backfire, it could have been a spit-back through the carburettor, setting it on fire.

Had this happen to me with a motorbike once.

Are Archaos back in town then?

The "Dutton Phaeton"....what an ugly runt of a car that was!

I think this is all part of the culling process so, hopefully there won't be many left now!

Tim called his cars after the first part of his surname.  He figured that no-one would buy a Dutton-Woolley.

If you think the Phaeton is ugly, the amphibion vehicles are hilarious. There was one nice one I remember but it looked just like a 7.
