first time I've ever seen a Sabra, one of 153 made in 1962



I often mention that you can never tell what you'll see in the pits at the racetrack




an Israeli company (Autocars) commisioned Reliant to build them a sports car http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z12831/Sabra-Sport.aspx


Sabra sports cars are named for a prickly but sweet cactus fruit. A Sabra factory in Haifa, Israel, March 1965. http://natgeofound.tumblr.com

      well, wow! Thanks! I find it fascinating to learn the way people see the world in their own way, not the way the British Empire labeled them, which is the way the USA still is stuck with. Such as Nippon, not Japan, is the name of that country. And learning of natives, aboriginals, of other countries, like the Sami and the Ainu. Fascinating to me. Thank you!
