OK found this on the web,
Oh look another Commer, but the question is
Which film is it from?
let me know if u want a hint?
-
??? No idea mate, is it set in Oz, as it seems to have a 'roo bar fitted? It looks like the mid-late sixties and it's a rare version of the PA/PB with a sliding drivers door and a side door too. In fact I've never seen one with a side door in real life. So gimme a clue!
-
Oops!
-
Ok
Good start, it is an Oz film, from the 70's
Has a french conection, try the name.
Thats a good start.
Oh yea by the way, have a few more films with commers, after this one.
-
Good start, it is an Oz film, from the 70's
If there's a Commer involved it could be Walkabout ;D

Oi ya cheeky git!
Could the film be;
Pique-nique at 'Anging Rock?
or
La Crocodile du Dundee?
or
The Cars That Ate Paris?

The Cars That Ate Paris? - is the correct answer - give that man a beer!
And now the next one an easy one! (TV Series)
Let me know if you need a hint - (shhh - i'd save the hint for the next one, its a film that I've never heard of, but thats to come)
-
Ah yes, now i can tell you this one off the top of my head. I saw it recently on ITV4, it was featured in a rerun of The Sweeney.
You'll need to get out of bed earlier to catch me out on Commers, Neil!
Next!
-
OK Geezer
the next one and last, till I do some more homework
Get ready, no clues yet.
Name the film;
-
Easy. Deadline Autotheft. What a waste! And I don't mean the Plymouth crashing into it. One can only surmise how it got to Longbeach, California. I'd like to think it was transported regally on the Queen Mary. How apt, how classy.

-
Bloody Hell - An real expert on the Commer fim roles.
OK and the next one, been doing my homework.
Which Bond film ?
-
Bond. James Bond. Diamonds are Forever. It's a scene from the ferry port where 007 is off to Amsterdam, I think if my memory serves me correctly, in a Triumph Stag. He has a fight in a lift, kills the baddy, makes a humourous quip, shags a bird and then flys to Vegas. Sounds like quite a good weekend to me.
-
Was the police van in Withnail and I a commer? (the 'GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN' incident)
-
Was the police van in Withnail and I a commer? (the 'GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN' incident)
No, it was an Austin-Morris J4. A bit like this one. I noticed they also used this type in The Boys from Brazil (which was on TV last week), probably one assembled in Portugal from a CKD kit.
(http://www.austin-rover.co.uk/images/lcvpurpose_07.jpg)
Policeman sees whisky bottles in car and looks enquiringly aT Withnail -
"Oh, these aren't mine, they're his!" ;D
-
Correct on the Bond film, a real top Commer man!
Ok Andy, you have done amazing on the Commer Vans
Now something diffrent.
Try Austin (looks a bit like the Commer, I wonder which had the narrowest wheel base?)
Name the film.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Tricky! As soon as I saw it I thought two things. First, was The Lady Killers. Second instinct was immediately "Peter Sellers".
And I know it's not The Lavender Hill Mob, that was too early to feature an Austin J2, they'd have still been on the basic J-Type at that time.
Well I watched The Lady Killers over Xmas and I remember I was quite disappointed with the lack of classic vans etc, and they used an Austin FX3 taxi to cart the trunck of loot around. So that probably rules that out.
Thinking aloud, I'm guessing it's from a Sellers film? But which one? God knows, it's probably either I'm Alright Jack, Two Way Stretch or The Wrong Arm of the Law. But it's hard really say which, though the blokes in your pic do seem to be on some sort of a blag, so probably not I'm Alright Jack. So one of the others?
I love my old B&W Ealing comedies, just don't ask me about modern films!
-
Andy I'm impressed.
The answer is - The Wrong Arm of the Law
Considering it was not a Commer even more impressed.
Yea I like the old films, especially ones filmed around London. The first thing I say is bloody hell, look at the roads, no double yellow lines, no congestion charge and you can park almost any where.
I will look for some more film pics soon, to test you.
How are you with trucks? or is your forte vans only?
-
Not too bad at cars (though most mid fifties saloons were pretty dull, Austin Hereford anyone? :() and I reckon I could have a good go at 50s/60s/70s trucks.
Vans are easier as there was a very limited choice in those days. I think we've covered most of the BMC versions, though Bedford and Ford have not had a mention yet! Anyone remember from their childhood the Standard Atlas 20, which later became the Leyland 15/20?
(http://www.austin-rover.co.uk/images/lcvpurpose_13.jpg)
-
I don't recall the vans but remember loving these little beauties when I was a nipper. A few belonging to The LMS railway were based at Wellingborough station and I remember seeing them struggle to ascend the hill from the station to the post office in town.
The second one is a preserved example and had the roof indicaters added to comply with modern regulations
-
Fantastic Bob, the Scammell Scarab. Apparently a version was made under licence in France by Chenard-Walcker, known as the 'Pony Mécanique'. Chenard-Walcker won the first ever Le Mans race in 1923. Small world eh?
Do you remember these BMC VA lorries, used almost exclusively by the British Road Services delivery company?

the British Road Services delivery company?
Ah, good old BRS - they used to deliver my trunk to boarding school each term - and fetch it back for the holidays!
PLA (Passenger Luggage in Advance - railway delivery) was much faster tho.

Yes. I remember My Grandad when he worked for BRS driving one of those (fleet # 663) I used to go with him during school holidays. There was no passenger seat so I had to make do with a milk crate and a cushion. Those were the days the BRS gave a desent clock for 25 years service. I have my Grandads and even though it is engraved with his name ans the date it was valued at nearly a grand 5 years ago

One can only speculate what the BRS man, who proabaly wore a brown warehouseman's coat, had five biros in his top pocket, an untipped fag dangling from his bottom lip and a young whippersnapper sat on a milk crate in the cab, thought about your boarding school Fran.

We only had eyes for Tony the bread delivery boy! Can you imagine being 18 years old, tall, hansome, long floppy blond hair, blue eyes and the only male who hadnt taken a vow of celibacy who entered the gates of an all girl convent school every day?!!
He was a very formative part of our adolescent years for many of us! 8)

-
Don't remember the smell of the truck Andy. I remember the smell of beer on my Grandad though, every day he would stop for his sarnies in a pub called The Jack of Trumps in March Cambridgeshire. He would religiously have 3 pints of best bitter and spend the rest of the day belching and farting, which brings me on to the best part of the BMC Noddy, Slideing doors. I thought they were the mutts nuts, as a 7/8 year old I thought it cool and somewhat daring to be traveling with the door open to the road, and it helped disperse the old mans beary farts. Bloody hell you wouldn't believe the memories that one picture has brought back, fantastic.

Yes I can imagine it Fran, and anyone who says they can't is lying! I'll bet poor Tony was frighten to death of you lot! He wasn't anything to do with the cad in the Commer who you eloped with, was he?
-
He wasn't anything to do with the cad in the Commer who you eloped with, was he?
Yes, he WAS the cad in the Commer!
And fair play to him, I don't think he was scared of us one little bit!! He would have cut back on all the flicking of the hair, wearing open neck grandad shirts and velvet loons if he wasnt trying to draw attention.
What kind of uniform is that for someone handling bread all day - wouldnt be allowed nowadays! :police:

OK, back to the vans and films, leave that baker boy alone Fran! ;D

The next
Film and van, please?
Can't remember the name of the film, but I'm sure that's the where they rob 'The old Lady of Threadneedle Street' of the bullion. Because the iron gate in pic 1 looks like that at the old Royal Mint on East Smithfield heading east towards The Highway (A1203).
Can't place the van at the mo' though.
I think the van is an Austin.
-
On a biy of a tangent, what did threadneedle street used to be called?
-
On a biy of a tangent, what did threadneedle street used to be called?
Stitcher Lane?
Sowers Corner?
or was it the original Savils' Row?

I'll get my coat.

Leftie you're right about it being an Austin, it's a K8. They didn't make them for very long as the were killed off in the original BMC merger, being replaced by the more modern LD. God I'm sad.
Think you're right about the film too, and if so it's the Lavender Hill Mob, a classic comedy starring Alec Guiness.
-
Well done - Correct - Was it a beer for each answer?
Oh hell ;D
The Film - The Lavender Hill mob
Van - Austin K8
And the next, an easy film,
but can you tell name the "3" vehicles?
I have just found out, that the van (1st pic) was in 2 films, same van + same reg, just slight dif paint job - extra points if you can tell me the other film....... ;D
-
I think it is The great Train Robbery.
3rd pic is an Austin Champ.
2nd pic Austin J2!
1st pic Not sure
-
Film - wrong
Pic1 - another pic (see below) From the other film!
pic2 - Correct
pic3 - Correct
-
Crikey! I missed this lot! Getting trickier! Not sure on the truck, is it General Motors? Fordson? Or maybe foreign made? Looks like big eared Stanley Holloway in the passenger seat?
-
Film - Andy you have already mention the main film, and the other film is something I think you are member of at times ?????? ;D
Pic 1 - British - famous for army trucks and also one of their other models "tea cakes"?
More hints later, if needed.
-
Is it a Bedford?
Ade
-
Is it a Bedford?
Ade
Yea - Bedford - A type
Here in a bond film, but what was one of the two films the van was in???
-
Grrr! Trick question! The Bedford A type used a Chevrolet cab, which is why I asked if it was General Motors. The London-Brighton Classic Truck run came through my village last weekend, which was fantastic. I even saw the world's oldest Commer come chugging past. Later I was surrounded by Bedford J types (below) on Madeira Drive, Brighton. it is far more common than the A type that preceded it, with a bit more of a rounded cab, which is what threw me. Not as nice as the Commer Superpoise IMO (also below), which is what I originally thought you were trying to catch me out with. See how similar it is to your Bedford A Type? :)
The film? Don't tell me it's the blasted Wrong Arm of the Law again? Second film, no idea!

My guess is 'A shot in the Dark'.

Ade
Yea - Bedford - A type
Here in a bond film, but what was one of the two films the van was in???
Casino Royale!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
oh come on the van is a Commer and the coach is a Thames Trader Paxton.
Come on guys its a famous film, known more for the people in it than the film!!!!!!!!
Another pic, might or might not help!
-
The film with the Vulcan in it was Thunderball.
-
yea - correct - That man wins a beer at Le Mans
Now i will have to look for another film and vehicle
Be right back - any requests?
OK - back to Andy, think he may know the vehicle, but what was the film????????
The car behind the Commer is a Morris Mini Delux, the car opposite is an Austin 1100.
The tent in fron of the Mini is 'The GPO' maintenance crew. As they used to run the telephones.
-
Correct Vulcan film,
Correct on the vehicles on the other pics ?
But what was the film? - do u need more hints???
and now you know about the GPO tent, what was in his sandwiches ?
-
Common amongst the GPO at the time was,
Shipmans Fish Paste or,
Cheese and onion or,
Blackcurrent Jam.
-
Hard Dya's Night? Only film I can think of with a Vanden Princess. My dad had a Princess, but it wasn't as nice as the Beatle's one.
(http://www.austin-rover.co.uk/images/princess_07.jpg)
-
Film - Correct - A Hard days night
Sandwiches - 99% correct - one was Shipmans Fish paste and the other was Cheese and Pickle (home made pickle in those days) - ;D
Now the next - the request was Bedford RL, so what was the film.
-
Easy! The Wild Geese. Great film, Burton, Moore, Harris etc.
Oh and I tricked you, I knew you'd pick that one! ;)

Skip this one, as just done a bit more homework and its a TV series from an old film. So does not count
So new film & new vehicle.
Whats the van, & Film ?????????
-
The one to skip is it "Day of the Triffids"?
As for the other one, for some reason I have a Norman Wisdom film, but not sure what, it might just be the milk truck thats leading up the path.
-
Correct on the film, but it was the TV series, thats why I removed it. Why do they not make a really good remake of The Day of the Triffids?
Come on the last one should be easy, at no it not Norman Wisdom. Far from it, but in hindsight it did turn into a bit of a farce at the end. BUt I'm sure it was not supposed to be. The remake was far from it! ??????????
What was the film?
-
Casino Royale (found this on imdb).
Ade
-
Well done, - Casino Royal
Bedford CA Mk2
Let me go deep into the vaults of this computer to find the next film + vehicle
Be right back......
-
OK, the next film
A nice old B&W one.
Van and Film please
-
Easy! The Wild Geese. Great film, Burton, Moore, Harris etc.
Oh and I tricked you, I knew you'd pick that one! ;)
Ok - you got that one,
which film was this from????
Virgin Soldiers
-
OK, the next film
A nice old B&W one.
Van and Film please
Not sure of the film, but that ain't an army vehicle, so could be Home Guard etc.
The van appears to be a Thames Trader.
It was a 60's film as in the background that appears to be a Sunbeam Rapier.
-
Not sure whos van/truck it is, do some more homework later. But it almost looks like GPO (due to ladders on the roof and the great drab colour scheme)
The film was done in the early 60's
Come on I'm giving to much away! :-X
Oh yea, its not set in the war. So why the army?
What they are doing, strange as it is, may give a hint!
-
Oh yes - That car, after a closer look your right it is a Sunbeam Rapier.
Good what good can do with a good digital camera and a time travelling machine! ;)
-
Sunbeam Rapier? Same engine as the Commer, though usually the 1600 version if it's the early sixties, before the 1725 was introduced across the Rootes range. Only one film I can remember with a Rapier is Village of the Damned.
Great film, it's a shame the wall collapsed on the Rapier!

Well done got it right - film that is, still waiting for the van/truck
The Film was Village of the Damned, written by John Wyndham - (The Midwich Cuckoos). Which was just on Radio 7 as a play. Very scary as a play and very creepy as a film
What the soldiers were doing was, as they had lost all contact with the village and every thing just seemed to stop. They sent a solider on a rope, so when he dropped they could pull him back.
And as an extra bonus, John Wyndham also wrote The day of the Triffids (see the film a bit below)
So we just need the vehicle.
Let me know if you need a hint!
-
Come on whats the van.
You don't want to get them angry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Commer? It has to be surely, with a coach-built body by Plaxton. They were quite small, if it's the one based on a BF cassis.
-
No - wrong (according to my old Observer book of Commercial Vehicles)
Do you want a hint?
Think of major manufacture and water??
Oh yea, the coach in the ditch was a Karrier
by the way - for another bloody BIG hint - scrol down

It's a Thames, which was what Henry called his UK trucks before the Ford Transit came along. Before that they were called Fordsons for some reason, as were his tractors.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/Fordson_Major.jpg/577px-Fordson_Major.jpg)
-
Correct
The truck was a Ford Thames Trader ET6 or ET7 - one was Petrol and the other diesel.
Until it starts up and you put your ear to the screen, you do not know. Just for the records this was well before the Audi diesels, which are way much more louder anyway
Some people call them just Thames Trader, but in my reference books their under Ford section.
I like the idea of a Red Barrel demonstration unit! What do you need to demo?
Ok
I'm off to look in my vaults for more.
Do not go away

Used to drive one of them tractors on Wyatt's farm in Bosham, prefered the Massey though, particularly the small 35, the 65 wasn't bad though. But the combine Klauus was a frigging handfull (1967/8)(School holidays to pay for trips and beer).
-
Oh yes back now.
The next film and vehicle please.
No hints yet, but should be fun.
-
It's clearly either an Austin 1 Ton or a Morris LD, identical vehicles due to more BMC badge engineering... Made from 1952 to 1968 without any major inprovements, it was replaced by the BMC EA range which was very similar underneath, just with a more modern cab. And they wonder why Britain lost it's light commercial vehicle industry. :(
Film, no idea, it appears to be set in the desert. Giz a clue?
-
Correct - again - have to find a hard one again.
It was a Morris LD.
It was a pooled design with Austin introduced in 1954. They were marketed with different names on the bonnet, they were identical. Except the Austin version had four slits in the front grille.
The film, - simple hint - girls in stockings! ;)
-
The Pure Hell of St. Trinian's :P
-
Correct - but only 1/2 point.
I would have thought the perfect time for one (or 3) of the St Trinians! - Do you think their packed for Le Mans?
(http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Arts/Arts_/Pictures/2007/12/12/StTrinians_460x276.jpg)
Now to look for the next pic - be back after me cup of tea.

OK - Quick rest from the vans and trucks,
But still a great BW film
Car and Film please, simple one.
-
Film: School for Scoundrels (1960)
Car: Swiftmobile
Ok
film- Right
Car - Wrong
This was the Swiftmobile So we still need the car
(http://www.swiftmobile.com/image002.jpg)

Correct
Film and Car
Well back to the vans, and in my views one of the worst (now I said that I proberly go and get one) - But I have driven one and uck!
Film and Van
-
Leyland Sherpa. They weren't all that bad.
Film is Bond again, the Spy Who Loved Me?
"I think he's attempting re-entry Minister!"
"Double Oh-seven!"
-
Well done again - Both correct
Except the Sherpa was not the best van, considering how long it went on the protection line
Ok the next film.
A newer one, as I found it next to an old one on my shelve.
Film and truck. - Car - well that we know.

1968 Volvo F88 meets 1972 Citroen DS21 in Da Vinci Code?
-
This is getting to easy
Correct on both counts
Ok be right back, gong have to dig even deeper in to my vaults to come up with a difficult one
-
Ok the next
Van and TV series please.
Pic one is hardish, if you want a better pic let me know.
-
TV Series The Beiderbecke Connection
Van ex British Telecom Bedford HA Van, based on the Vauxhall Viva
the series is re-running at the mo. they don't make 'em like that anymore.
Van = Correct
TV series - Correct
they don't make 'em like that anymore
Is that the van or the series?
The series with the music was great.
Big Al and Little Norm, they would have been great for Le Mans, would have got us anything!
Now will have to dust off my old 78's for the next film - be back soon.
-
been a while but found another one,
as you lot are getting good, decided a hard one (I hope)
Van - ?
Film - ?
-
No idea what film, but normally Mr Whippy was a good customer of the Commer/Karrier BF (see bottom pic). And yet that one looks strangely like an Austin FG. You remember them, they had the little glass windows in the cab so you could see what you were about to hit... I know this, I learned to drive in one! :o
It might be that the FG was only used by Superwhippy, in which case I stand corrected. It's an odd thing to have a truck with a two ton payload for use in the icecream business. ???
Oh and FWIW I f**k*ng hated Tonibell icecream, it made me feel sick and their vans were sh*t.

Oh and FWIW I f**k*ng hated Tonibell icecream, it made me feel sick and their vans were sh*t.

No idea what film, but normally Mr Whippy was a good customer of the Commer/Karrier BF (see bottom pic). And yet that one looks strangely like an Austin FG.

All true.

Let me know if you need any HELP!
-
Which icecream van is a bloody bleedin Bedford? ??? The one in the pic with the Isetta and Anglia is an Austin/Morrs/Leyland FG 2 tonner. The one below is a Commer BF/Karrier 1 ton, same thing,just badge engineering.
-
Wow - Correct film,
With a little help from my friends ;D
Karrier
In July 1970 the control of Karrier passed to Chrysler United Kingdon Limited. It would appear that since some Commer vehicles have been sold with the Karrier nameplate and visa versa
Educational as well, this quiz.
Poo off to look for more films/vehicles.

Sorry - no not a Dennis,
But looking at pics of a Dennis Pax, I can understand your thoughts.
try again. Let me know if any hints are needed.

Small Hint
This company was founded 3 years before and produced its first commercial vehicle a year before Dennis Brothers Ltd produced its first commercial vehicle.
Any help?

Before we proceed to far, can we please clarify which ice cream van is the Bedford? (see my first post on this page)
-
Simple - NONE
The top one is a Leyland FG

All true.

Let me know if you need any HELP!
I said the ice cream van was a Commer BF. You said it was a Karrier 1 Tonner (same thing!).
Then Leftie said the ice cream van was a Bedford and named the other vehicles. You said "All true". I asked which ice cream van is a Bedford. You said "none"! ??? Confused? You will be... :)
-
Andy - I'm always confused - did u not know that
-
So going back to the Truck.
What is it?
-
OK hint here,
"Scotish Sunrise"
any help?
-
Correct truck
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2e/Albionmotors.jpg)
But which model (can't be many)
-
correct again.
According to my book
In 1955 a new series of Claymore 3 ton and 4 ton chassis was introduced, using new horizontal version of an older diesel power unit which was mounted amidships under the frame. This allowed a cab to be built forward of the axle, unobstructed by wheel arches. A 10ft or 11ft 10in wheebase alternatives was offered
Eductaional this quiz again.
Now to look for another film/truck

It's some sort of Austin, not sure which. Is the film one with the year in the name? Like 1984? Or is it Austin Powers?

1958 Fiat 600 Multipla Marinella. On the beach at Goodwood FOS 2003.
-
Correct, did know know it was at Goodwood.
The smaller version, and this was more common, was used by the Millionaires, due to the cost of the conversion.
Told they were design (or picked up by) for boat people down on the Riviera, so they were used as a tender to the boat (lifted on or even had their own garage on board.
Yul Brener and Aristotle Onassis had one. I was told one guy had a right hand drive one, so he could step out of it straight on to the pavement.

OK - As you lot seem to be able to get these very quickly, a hardish one
What is it, Who made it and what is special about it?
Simple really.
Oh yea "I even like the colour" (extra point which film was that from - nothing to do with the pics!)

Judging by the wheelbase, its a Massey Fergason 35, but could be a 65. It was registered in 1963 ('A' plate).
The contraption on the rear is a Rotovator (scarifier) driven by the PTO.
Not sure of the film. But judging by the age and the british film budgets then and the propensity to use old vehicles, so could be about the time of Cloclwork Orange (1971). An apt name really
-
Sorry
Wrong tractor - it was built mid 50's
Attachment on the back, not sure will look into it,
Wrong Film
Next guess
Small hint - had a petrol engine for a particlar reason,
I could post another tractor pic, but that might give it away
NOTE - The quote has nothing to do with the tractor, it was from a 80's film.
-
Orange is normally a colour associated with Howard Rotovator. Not sure why it would only be petrol not diesel though? Unless it was for cold weather work? I presume it's petrol/TVO?
-

Yea, all there other tractors were diesel. (by a manufacture you have heard of ?)
These were made with petrol engines to keep the fumes of the plants (curious) which the plantation owners thought work damage their crop. The shape of it is important????
This is one fo 300 made and is the last remaining one, and it has been rebuilt due to the old rustmites.
Any more hints needed?
-
Maybe from the postwar failed Groundnut scheme?

Maybe from the postwar failed Groundnut scheme?
Tractor came from Brazil (it was used there), but not (to my knowledge) made there.
The manufacture/design is very famous, has a connection to Le Mans.
Ok - because people will get stuck down in details, these were design by a famous manufactor, but not made by them due to regulations. So two companies had licensing agreements from this company.
Let me know if you want a even bigger hint!

Fordson/Ferguson TE20? First tractor to have a 3 point linkage. Not sure of the use though, maybe the runner industry, Fordlandia?

Triumph TR engine is the same as that used in the TE20(although slightly detuned).

A CASUAL discussion during a dinner party late in July this year led to two British Army officers, a sergeant and a London croupier crossing the English Channel in two Amphicars from Dover to Calais, on 16 September 1965. A quick tour then followed through France, Belgium and West Germany to the Frankfurt Motor Show, and then a further trip through East Germany to Berlin to the works where these cars are manufactured.

Sweet dreams, of that nice sexy red car............ ahhhhhhhhhhhh ;)
-
Right, I'm going mental looking at this so I need to know if I'm hot or cold.
First impression was a Cisitalia 202, which is strikingly similar from the front but completely different at the rear. Then while looking at the rear I thought it might be an Alfa 8C 2900, which is strikingly similar from the rear but completely different from the front.
Help me out Neil...
-
Steve - your correct (well close enough) -It is an Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Le Mans Berlinetta
so close even thou you said -8C 2900B Le Mans
(http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/images/large/1716-3.jpg) (http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/images/large/1716-5.jpg) (http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/images/large/1716-2.jpg)
From the late 1920s, the six cylinder or 6C cars formed the main-stay of Alfa Romeo's limited production line-up. Much of the technology used in these road cars were directly derived from marque's dominating racing cars of the day. The six cylinder engine was developed throughout the 1930s and increased in size from its initial 1487 cc to 2443 cc at the end of the decade. The Vittorio Jano designed engine featured a cast-iron block with a light alloy double overhead camshaft head.
Introduced in 1939, the 6C 2500 was available in many different configurations. The line-up ranged from the 6C 2500 Turismo with a long wheel base chassis and 87 bhp engine, to the 6C 2500 Super Sport or SS, with a short wheel base and 110 bhp engine. These performance figures are factory quotes, when running on good fuel these figures are easily exceeded. The racing pedigree of the SS chassis was quickly proven by a handful of competition models produced, before the outbreak of the Second World War.
Like the road-going versions, the competion cars were delivered as rolling chassis for coach-builders to body. The six cylinder engine was fitted with three Weber carburetors, replacing the single unit used on the road cars. This increased the power output to (a factory quoted) 120 bhp. Further modifications to increase the performance of the all-around independently sprung chassis were not necessary. It was very similar in design to that of its bigger brother, the 8C 2900, which had already proven itself against stiff competition.
In the spring of 1939 Alfa Romeo sent three chassis to Carrozzeria Touring to be bodied for that year's running of the Mille Miglia. A huge accident resulted in the cancellation of the event, the three roadsters now made their debut at the Tobruk-Tripoli race. In good Alfa Romeo tradition, the race was dominated, resulting in a one-two-four finish for the three cars. The fourth chassis completed is featured above and was sent to Touring to be bodied with an aerodynamic 'berlinetta' body for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race.
Driven to Le Mans from Milan on public roads, the berlinetta was barely in time for scruteneering. At first glance it resembled the 8C 2900B Le Mans which dominated the 1938 running, leading with over 100 miles at one stage, until it retired with a broken valve. Together with the aerodynamic body, a larger fuel tank was the only difference between the berlinetta and the successful spiders. With Raymond Sommer and Prince Bira as pilots the 6C 2500 SS Le Mans was a strong contender for the overall victory.
Poor reliability again led Alfa Romeo's effort down. It was first dogged by plug problems and then lost an hour when the head gasket needed replacing. After all these repairs, it still didn't make it to the finish. After the disapointing result at Le Mans, the berlinetta was entered in a race once more, the 1940 Mille Miglia. It failed to record an impressive finish and Alfa Romeo missed the victory with a spider version of the 6C finishing in second place. The racing career of the berlinetta and spiders was cut short by the Second World War.
Unfortunately the unique Le Mans Berlinetta has not survived. In recent years at least two replicas have been built on existing 6C chassis. The featured example was built by Raoul San Giorgi in The Netherlands. It is shown above during the 2003 Paleis 't Loo Concours d'Elegance alongside other competition Alfa Romeos. During the 2008 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance a second replica appeared, wearing a different chassis number.

Off to look for a van/truck this time

8C's little brother eh? Should've guessed. It was the front grill/headlights that just didn't look Alfa to me. Hey ho, cheers mate
-

I need new specs because I couldn't recognise the logo and I used to have an Alfa.
Anyway, went today and they'll be ready next Wednesday. 8)

No your eye sight is OK, I edited/removed the logo with photoshop ;D

OK - A simlpe one
Whose concept car and what is it called?
-
Honda?
-
Honda?
No - try again
-
It does look like a prewar Auto Union, especially the narrow tyres, so I'd guess it a Peugeot.
Please can you make these easier

Cooper or Lotus?

Close with first guess - follow that line of thoughts........

Mercedes?

Audi --> Auto Union --> has lots of hints of the 1930s racers.
-
Audi --> Auto Union --> has lots of hints of the 1930s racers.
Correct - but I feel you share part of the prize with Lorry as he was so close
The car is an Audi - Auto Union Type D concept car by Lukas Vanek - I think is looks sexy and I bet it not a bloody diesel or is it?
(http://imagesme.net/tuvie/audi-type-d-concept1.jpg) (http://imagesme.net/tuvie/audi-type-d-concept2.jpg)
(http://imagesme.net/tuvie/audi-type-d-concept4.jpg) (http://imagesme.net/tuvie/audi-type-d-concept3.jpg)
Check out this amazing race car, a creation of Lukas Vanek who is a young designer from the Czech Republic. This concept of 2008 Auto Union Type-D is influenced by a design which is nearly 70 years old and is designed from two different materials i.e. carbon fibre and metal skin. The structural support is provided by carbon fibre and the authentic look is given by the metal skin. The car is powered by the 6.5 litre twelve-cylinder engine producing 478 KW horsepower. This nonstop concept can offer you the top speed of 186 mph. Once you sit in this car, you will get the modern feel and excitement. So, get ready to zoom in this large wheeled race car.
Off now to find another motor - John "with low milage and one careful owner"
-
I'm back, that was quick - found this one, behind the sofa, another sexy car.
One owner, Little old lady, just used it at the weekend to go to church on a Sunday, there is even her pray book in the glove box. ;D
What is it and where is it from?
-
Can't remember what it's called, but I think it's from New Zealand, with a BMW V8 engine from the old M5?
I know it's not a craparo
-

Almost there, yes like Doris, its from New Zealand.
Not sure which drinks the most with a V8 engine thou ;D
And the name of the car is?
-
Hulme ;D
-
Good old Denny. He used to live not far from us when I was growing up in NZ. My first stepfather used to go and talk cars with him, and I'm fairly sure he popped in a couple of times to look at the old Desoto that was in the garage out the back but I was more interested in my skateboard at the time.
Dx
-
Hulme ;D
Spot on - You win a Kiwi drink - wot ever that is.
Now I have to go and find another motor John.
-
Don't worry, I've got one.
What's special about this?

What's special about this?
Umm - the badge is off centre?

Ah, but why?
It's a royal mail van if you hadn't guessed.
-
It's a royal mail van if you hadn't guessed.
Yep - I spotted that bit but thought that was too obvious!
umm... to make room for the fancy air inlets, cos its souped up for guaranteed before 9 a.m. deliveries?
-
Is it an early electic car, electric motor in the front, with the strange grill to give cooling to the motor and gubbins. THe batterys in the back.
Failing that - its an Escort that thinks its an Ogle design motor.
-
well done neil. have a leccy drink ;)
-
OK slight change - What is it or was it.
Not a good day for the driver.
-
OK slight change - What is it or was it.

Seems a bit ironic based on it's position.....................but, this is a specialist vehicle that is used for bridge deck inspections.
The hydraulic gantry sections go up, then out then under the deck (underneath itself).
In fact it's a 'hybrid' based on heavy lift crane/ telehoist systems.
Similar to this one..................

Correct - Spot on - The storey is below,
The vehicle ran into the parapet of a bridge on which it had previously been working, coming to rest with the front of the vehicle overhanging a field.
The under-bridge unit teeters over the bridge parapet
No other vehicles were involved and no one was injured it is not certain how the accident occurred but investigations are continuing.
The road next to the Crook O'Lune car park had been closed overnight while the maintenance work was carried out. The company said that the platform had been about to leave the site after successfully completing its task which the incident happened.
Bit sad really, you spend all day in inspecting the bridge, and the damage it as you leave.
Off now to look for another strange pic - be right back.
-
I've been on one of those things, it's weird, I can tell you.
-

Late 60's early 70's left hooker. Could be yank or german.
Looks like Ford judging by the guages, so Ford Falcon.
I know I'm wrong but, hell it's fun and I aint got nothing else to do.

They did do them right hand drive, this model was built in the UK, in fact the lower spec of this car was a familiar sight on the roads in the 70's.
But this was a special model, as its got the round dials

OK, on a limb here.
Ford Corse Hair, sorry Corsair.
Reminds me of a very, very old joke ;D

She took me to the cleaners
And other misdemeanours
But I got right up between her
Rum and her Ribena

Its a car which I had a ride in yesterday- A Lancia Fulvia coupe- prob a later one, 74ish going by the velour!
-

Correct - Dr S - and you win a beer.
Funny thing was, when people where guessing the Alfa interior, Lorry said Fulvia - so I thought someone would get it very quick.
But it had to be left to that Italian Dr S expert.
And now for the next one - another interior - you may need a bit of help from Amazing 1 or Lee or one of of he other quiet resevered guys from Sebring ;D
and then I'll choose something very difficult so get your toys out.
-
Whoops, was there a Fulvia saloon too. It was a pure guess as there was no Alfa badge, and there were too many dials for a Fiat.
The badge on this one is visible, but nothing I recognise, and the dash looks more European, even Kit car. So Yank low volume car from the 80s, but not a Delorean. Its too reserved to be American - there's nothing big or flash. I'd say Jeep, but there only one gearknob
-
Trans Am
Dx

By the cringe Neil, thats right up my strasse.
Second Generation (1970 to 1981) Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with TH350 auto (not 4 on the floor), AC option, no heated rear screen, remote controlled drivers door mirror, AM / FM radio with cassette, electric windows. Seats in Camel Tan cloth.
Engine - 6.6 litre V8.
It's probably a later one (1979)

What is it
-
Can't you make the bladdy pictures any smaller ;)
-
Xr3i ? The first one which is the MK 3 one.
The first one was just an XR3 I think, the injection and the 5th gear came a bit later if my memory is correct.
My dad traded in his BRG Stag for one, and it was the first car I drove to Le Mans, with my parents, after being a passenger in the stag for a few years.
Only been a passenger once since, when i went with my brother in his bright yellow Alfa sud Sprint that only he could find 5th gear in.
-
Can't you make the bladdy pictures any smaller ;)
Sorry Steve - try this ;D
Come on guys - I have cheated on this one, (pre other one! ?)

Correct again.
Well done Steve.
Like I said "pre another one" - well before we had the Volvo Ovlov - we had a PT, not as nice as your pic Steve, had it been may have kept it.

Ok - a hint - they use to make tanks - and were known for a tank engine that was a straight 12 cylinder but only 12" high (well that was what I was told)
They do not make cars, but have Le Mans history
Curious..................................... In fact a few years ago there was one a racing one next to MB.

No sorry, but I will tell you like the Tatra they where ahead of there time - did make air cooled engines (but not Citroen - but they did hand a finger in the company at the end)
Just found out the name still exists today, but in the manufacture of armoured vehicles.
Curious....

Ok asI'm on my hols from Friday -I will answer this question - The Island is Burgh Island in Devon - a great art deco hotel. Never stayed in it, but remember climbing all over the island and the outside of the hotel when in was a ruin in the 70's. Also watching the sea tractor going across the sand each day and even breaking down, just like everything in the 70's.

The tractor has changed since that pic, it was orange the last time I saw it and more robust.
Runs over the causeway and sh*t does the tide come in fast.
Been 'trapped' there a few times when we had 'lock-ins' in the pub just up from the beach.

A Citroen of some type?

No, I don't think it's a citroen, they normally had a single-spoke steering wheel. But I think you're right with it being French; it's so utilitarian. Renault Dauphin?

Now for the next one...............
OK, the manufacturer supplied cars for two TV detective series, 1st series was quintercentially English, the 2nd a bit of a skit on the international scene.
Question:- Name the car in the photo and an extra beer for the other model in the first TV series .
(http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa64/jjkt15/Cars/0003.jpg)
-
Thats a series one Interceptor and the car in the first series was a Volvo P1800, the programe was The Saint
The link is that Jensen built the early P1800 bodies but did a pretty crap job of it and they all rusted as only Jensens can. Volvo soon cut them out and built them elsewhere.
S
-
Seeing as this bloody thunder storm's keeping me awake tonight, thought I'd log in and have a look. Go with me as I think aloud...
Is it's an XJS, if so that's The Saint with Ian Ogilvy and the other is maybe Patrick Magee in the New Avengers? But the gear knob's wrong, as is the rest of it really so I know it ain't that. My head is shouting "Stag Stag Stag" but it looks too way big, and indeed special for a Triumph interior with MFI wood, so perhaps it's an Aston from the Persuaders? But then again it's the wrong colour for Brett's DBS? And it's not an Aston interior.
Grrr, I'm never gonna sleep now...

Am I going senile? I don't remember another series of the Saint in 1989. I would have watched it just for the Jensen. Its not been on UK Gold
Anyway, I'm not going to tell you what I think the car is, but its registration number is OND 954P

If you google the reg number, you get the details of the 89 series.
Not sure if the link works as I am doing it from a blackberry.
Saint Jensen (http://www.saint.org/jensen.htm)

Its not been repeated because it was crap, I have seen a few episodes and they were terrible- the original wasn't great to be honest was it?
Come on Leftie, hit us with another one! :-)
-
While Leftie finds another pic to stump us, can anyone name the Python film that has an Interceptor in it? And for 2 extra points- what car is parked next to it?

'i' appears twice,
'r' appears twice,
'e' appears twice,
'n' appears once,
'h' appears once,
'o' appears once.
To give a clue, both parts of the name start with the same letter! (Manufacturer / Model)

As a matter of interest, has anyone kept a 'score card' of the participants?

Reliant Rialto almost fits

Its one of those horrible Japanese things that thinks its a old Jag- based on a Micra, interior door handles are Mazda MX5... cannot remember the name, top gear had a rather horrid snidey Rolls that they make on this week... a Mitsomethingorother Mewt or something??

Where do you get the second 'r' ?

I thought it was a Bristol and couldn't place the extra R but then came to the conclusion that the welsh cannot spell and went for it anyway. I mean, look at all the place names in Wales- very badly spelt :-D
Come on Leftie- show yourself!
-
Grrr! Another duff question from Leftie! Getting the question wrong is a cardinal sin in quiz circles :(
Time to give up mate? ;)
-
Okay, try this one...
-
And what of this...
-
I have a feeling in my water that they could both be Triumphs. i thought the first was a Ford 10/E93A, but not with leather seats and wings, and the second could be a Dolomite
-
Agree with lorry the about the 2nd shot being a Dolomite. Most were pretty sparton inside so would hazard a guess it is a Sprint version.
I have no idea what car the first couple of photos show other than its old and rusty.
-
Mmmm old and rusty you say- is it one of mine?

Are they both Dolomites, or is my guesswork going a little too far

Kpy,
You are correct and earn yourself 2 points because there is no 2nd 'r', and yes I'm a sheepshagger as well.
-
I have no idea what may be lurking in your garage, rusty or otherwise!
My dad, who claims to have had a Ford Prefect, thinks his had a floor mounted gear change and the engine did not look like the one in the picture, so once again I agree with Lorry.
He thinks it may be something from Standard. ???
-
Bristol Blenheim?
Ps. Well done for getting the Python one Andy- that Yellow Porker looks lovely!
Well done Dr.S, a pint for you as well as compensation.

Okay, try this one...
To start with it's a side valve engine and I would hazard a guess at early Morris Minor with 748cc engine.
But could be the larger Oxford or Isis.

Well gents, you're both wrong though I can see why you might think the top one was a Standard Vanguard or whatever. In fact it's a 1951 Hillman Minx with sidevalve engine which was later given an update with an OHV head and a capacity increase and fitted to various Rootes Group vehicles incl...
you know the rest... ;)
I'm surprised nobody on here has got the second one, and so I'm not saying what it is except it's not a Triumph. In fact it's from a vehicle often featured on CA by one of our regulars, though it's appearances have been less recently...

A humber? Or was it Hunter? Always mix them up. Humber; final answer!
-
A humber? Or was it Hunter? Always mix them up. Humber; final answer!
Humber, yes. Sceptre in fact.
Same as the Hunter though, they were both "Arrow" models, they did a mid-range Singer Vogue too, though it's hard to imagine Madonna in one. Humbers had fancier woodwork and more chrome, a bit like a Montego Vanden Plas compared to the 1.6HL. You get the picture...
(http://www.rootes-chrysler.co.uk/images/develop/devhunter_07.jpg)
Anyway the Hunter was manufactured in Iran in massive numbers, (about 2.5 million) and they only packed in making it in May 2005.

Ah yes the Peykan Hunter- very popular in long distance historic rallies due to the fact you don't have to spend months welding then up before prepping them. Bloody good rally car actually.
-
A friend in the local motor club has a replica London to Sydney Hunter, complete with single Humber seat in rear (to nod off in).
I did drive a Hunter in about 1975, and have to admit that its the worse car I've ever driven. It just surrendered at every corner.

Initially I thought it was an AC 728 but it's too short and the wheels don't match the issue.
Then I thought it could be an Abarth, then got no frigging idea.
-
The wheels are TR6ish, is it a Michelotti?
Engine wise, 3ltr V8 (out of the Stag)
But this is just a blue sky thinking guess.
-
I know where you are coming from with the AC idea- similar nose treatment but this is the work of Bertone not Frua. This car almost had a rampante cavalino on its nose- a clue to help you out.
-
It's got what appear to be Alfa GTV (Bertone designed) wheels and the top front wings look like they're off an Alfa Spider. Meanwhile, the back looks like a Fiat Coupe. I'm guessing it has a small Ferrari Dino V6 engine? So is it some sort of Alfa /Ferrari one-off made for a motorshow?
-
Edging slowly towards the answer but still some way off.
I will say that it isn't a one off but a production car. The engine is much smaller than you would think and the engine size is part of the cars name. The car also ran twice at Le Mans.
That should help you along nicely!
Another clue is that Luigi Chinetti sold them in the states.
Its a tough one so worth three beers for a right answer.
-
Thought it may be an Osca, but they have entered LM more than twice but they did have links to Chinetti
so maybe a Moretti 750?
Really hard this.
-
Mazda? Does it have a Mazda WANKel rotary engine?
-
After a bit of a google search I believe it is a ASA 1000 GT Coupe built by Bizzarrini in the early 1960's. Raced twice at Le Mans but did not finish.
Engine was designed by a Mr Ferrari and supposedly based on a 250GTO engine.
Simon
-
Spot on Simon- well done!
Engine was the first 4 cylinders of the right hand bank of the 250 GTO engine- 1031 cc producing a rather heady 96 BHP at 7000rpm. Chassis was built by Bizzarini and body was by Guigiaro whilst at Bertone. 95 were built plus a handful of competition versions and 11 spiders. It was unveiled in late '61 and first cars were delivered in late '64 at Lire 2.76 million. Performance for standard car was 0-62 in 13 sec and a top speed of 119 mph.
ASA closed its doors in '67.

oh, and its connected to the no. 64 vette.
that should make it easier ;)

Curtis Speedster!!
Dr.S, you are so close, so you have a beer.
It's a Kurtis 500M.
You are quick off the mark on that one ;D
Try this one.....

mmm Always struggle on the older stuff like this, so a wild guess.
Its british, that I'm sure of.
A Lanchester :-\ ??
-
sh*t, you're good, Lanchester 10.
Pour another beer.
A bit newer this time............

Good try, but no beer on this one. In fact you'll die of thirst :laugh:
I used to pass the Allard garage in Wandsworth regularly in 70's and now it's a carwash and windows place!
-
Looking for clues now as you will all be asking for them verry soon.
-
I'm not sure at all- in fact I don't have a bloody clue!!

Clue 2,
A quintessionally British Marque.
50/60's these cars were the cars to have if you couldn't afford an Aston..
The next one will be more difficult :laugh:
-
Lea Francis 2 and a half litre sports??
-
Thank you, that had been bothering me for some time.
-
I'm not sure at all- in fact I don't have a bloody clue!!
Think of girls names
:( Lee and Francis are hardly bloody girl's names, at best they are both unisex. Grrr, >:( another duff Leftie clue/question! I'm going to rub jalepenos into your scrotum at the chilli festioval on saturday, that'll learn ya! GIVE UP!!!! GGGrrrrrrrrrrrr!
-
Llanfryydwi, myng and myynnwyyrddii can be a girl's names to the welsh so give him a chance Andy ::) They arn't like us ;D ;D
(so as not to cause offence to any of our cross border chums I would like to declare that I am indeed 25% daffy waving, leek eating, sheep shagging, valley singing welsh)
-
Whilst the quiz master is away I'll pop another up to keep things simmering. Quite easy this one but soooo pretty.
what is it? (but be carefull- there are two versions of this car and I want to know which one it is down to a tee to gain any anorak points)
(http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb307/sconefinger/mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.jpg)
-
Is it a:-
Alfa Romeo Giulia SS Sprint Speciale
-
Is it a:-
Alfa Romeo Giulia SS Sprint Speciale
Go on then you can have it- very very close. It is in fact the earlier Giulietta version. Slightly different bumpers, earlier type wheel centre pressings, no side indicators and has the strange fly shield in front of the drivers side screen- but you would have to be a right bed wetting saddo to tell them apart ;D
I had never seen one in the flesh and then saw two within 20 minutes of each other near MB on the classic. Like buses I suppose.

That is the great thing about the classic, people will bring the old cars out even if they only come out in sunny weather normally. I think the Silverstone Classic will have the same appeal in a couple of years though.

Heres another from the Doctor's library of obscure Italian beauties. Actually one of my all time favourites, but what is it??

Your last three questions/clues were all wrong. First of all we get a Jensen/Saint thing where you didn't even know the right answer when you posted the question, then we get told there's two "R's" in Bristol Blenheim and now we are told to think of two girl's names when in fact they could just as easily have been men's names.
Let's face it, you're just not cut out to be a Magnus Magnusson!!!
-
Not sure about a bizza/lambo hybred. What ever it is it looks fantastic!
My best guess would be bizza/mazza
-
Think Bizza after the infamous 'palace' walkout but before he went on his own. Where did he go (with Carlo Chitti amongst others)? Cryptic clue- Hovis!
Follow the trail and you'll get it.
It is stunning to behold isn't it?
Magnus Sconefingerssen
-
Well get I understand the hovis link - but cant get the yeast to rise and bring up the answer from my befuddled mind
-
There was only one 'La Camionette' I think and thats not a picture of it is it?
Could it be the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo/Bizzarrini Special 2053GT that came before the Breadvan?
Unless there was a another version or are we barking up the wrong tree
Did ATS make a GT car? its displaying the Scuderia Serenissima Republica di Venezia flag on the side I think
-
After extensive reseach, can revel the car as.........
Serenissima 308 jet CoupeCompetizione.
What an amazing looking car. More details here http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/2917/Serenissima-308-Jet-Competizione.html
-
Nordic you are so so close- feeler guage close! Come on make the last little leap! The flag holds the key
-
You got it whilst I was posting. Well done- that was a tough one.
-
Never heard of it before, been great fun reading thru all the stories that link Count Giovanni Volpi, Ferrari, ATS, Bizzarrini etc, all coming together to give us the 250GTO, Bread Van, ISO Bizzarrini etc.
I doubt if any other country could have produced them.
One of the reasons for the palace revolt was Mr Ferraris slowness in embracing rear engined cars, was this maybe the first rear engined Italian GT car?
-
The biggest reason for the palace revolt was Mrs Ferrari's big mouth. She was a bit of a dragon by all accounts. A little like someone I know ;D
What a wonderfull era the 60's were in Italy for car building- the list of breathtaking cars is endless. They were more than just cars and finer than any other art form in my eyes. Thats why I have no interest in anything modern- it all looks far inferior by comparison- which is quite sad really for a car lover like me.
Oh well, who's going to fox us next?
-
And the Hovis link was what? Hard to think of a link between brown bread and a 60's Italian Gt unless it's Ridley Scott; he directed the famous 1973 advert.
(http://www.rankhovis.co.uk/news/images/120yrs.jpg)
-
that was tough and fair, being a 308 engine would that mean it was derived from a Ferrari. just a thought, don't know for sure?
The engines were built by Serenissima themselves. more than one version was made and the original 3 litre unit was used in Bruce McLaren's first Formula 1 car before he switched to BRM power.
-
The Hovis link was bread- breadvan- count volpi- scuderia serenissima. Do try to keep up Zarse!
The engine was, I think, labeled ATS. It wan't very good by all accounts- lacked power and was unreliable.
-

Nope, I still don't get it... Was Count Volpi's firm the exporter of Italian-built breadvan's to Rank Hovis MacDougall? Did they quickly rust to bits in the gentle Yorkshire drizzle ???
-
The breadvan was the nickname given to a Ferrari modified by Bizzarrini on behalf of Count Volpi when Ferrari refused to sell Volpi a 250GTO because he was backing the new ATS team.
Bizzarrini's last project before he left Ferrari was the 250GTO, so Volpi got him (and the others who left at the same time) to recreate a better car.
Bizzarrini was a friend of Count Volpi's but did not design the Serenissima 308 as he was working for ASA by then.
But given the resemablance to it and the ISO Bizzarrini 5300 its hard not think there remained some link.
The engine was, I think, labeled ATS
the engine was not to an ATS, but home built by Serenissima. As you say it was not a success being a bit under powered and went thru a couple of versions, but the 3 litre one did power Bruce McLarens first F1 car before being dumped
-
Jerry, there is a car in play, lets just keep to the one and we know it won't have any daft clues.
anyway, yours is:- Swallow Doretti No.1068
Pour a beer Peter, correct.

I'd like to fill in a few gaps on the story of this car- even though most car buffs have never even heard of it it is quite an important little milestone in Italian sportscar history. Its a rather complicated story but rather compelling. I'll try and keep it brief......
Giorgio Billi and and Argentinian Jaime Ortiz Patino form the snappily titled 'Societa Per Azioni Automobili Turismo e Sport Serenissima' in the turn of the sixties in Bologna. A 20 year old Count Volpi then takes a 20% share in the company soon after and suggests a name change to 'Automobili Turismo e Sport' or ATS. They build 11 rather pretty sportscars, a sports prototype and a rather poor F1 car before going bankrupt in late '64. During this time Carlo Chitti and Bizzarini arrive in '62 after the ferrari walkout and amongst other projects they build the now famous Ferrari Breadvan.
Count Volpi then returns as Automobili Serenissima and teams up with Sterling Moss' spanner man Alf Francis and ex-ATS engine man Alberto Massimino to show Billi and Chitti they could build a better sportscar. Massimino brings with him plans from his ATS days of a quad cam 3 litre V8 engine- aborted due to lack of funding. He also designs the gearbox from scratch. Body was styled by ex FIAT and Pininfarina man Franco Salomone (who penned the Ferrari 275 GTB). The new car, named the 308 Jet Coupe is tested by a dismissive Paul Frere in early '65 and a comprehensive re- design is required before its first appearance at the '65 Le Mans test weekend. Unfortunately the car sucks and is 50 seconds a lap slower than the fastest Ferraris and the project is canned.
Alf Francis then does a deal and the engine is removed and fitted in the back of Bruce McLarens first F1 car. It is a huge dissapointment and fails in its first race. The engine is hastily re-built and holds on to bring Bruce a 6th at the British Grand Prix- McLarens first ever world champion constructors point.
The Serenissima, now engine-less is sold to Piero Drogo and dissapears for almost 30 years in Switzerland. The now tired engine then goes to Kansas with Francis and is instaled in a Lola Mk6 GT (believed to be one of the Ford GT40 development hacks) and is raced until 1978 in various club events, it is sold to Drogo and re-united with the car (which by now wears chassis number 003)
Meanwhile our man Volpi now teams up with Alessandro de Tomaso and they re-name the company Serenissima Automobili and commision a young Tom Tjaarda to design a car which is named the Agema. Count Volpi then panics when the tooling costs spiral out of control leaving De Tomaso to go it alone. the car becomes the De Tomaso Mangusta. Serenissima limps on until 1970 as a race entrant with a Can Am McLaren, which Volpi enters in various races for Jonathan Williams- until Williams walks away to race the Solar productions Porsche of Steve McQueen at that years Le Mans. The protype Agema still hangs from a wall on a rack inside Count Volpi's castle to this day.
Chassis 003- The 308 Jet, the only one built was restored in 2004 by Noel Rieben and Millenium Racing in Switzerland. It still wears its original paint and made its first public appearence in almost 40 years at the 2006 Villa d'Este Concorso d'Eleganza. It still owned by Piero Drogo to this day.
I hope I haven't bored you to death with the story of that little car. Never a success but never the less a very important car.

Nice bit of history on that lovely italian little motor. Many thanks for that.
What happened to the posting after it, I'm sure it was a Riley or a Singer, but it's gone!!! ???
-
That was Lefties post I think and was a Swallow Doretti.
I'll put up another killer tonight- going for small detail shots to sort the men from the sad anoraks!

firefly,
Don't know what happened there, must of pressed the wrong button. But I posted again.
You are very close.
As a further clue, the car also appeared with Singer and Ford engines etc but not as standard fitment.
-
Its a rare one, Austin 7ish, and that split screen is unusual
-
Honk honk
-
Wossis den?
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o155/nickliv1205/DSC00185.jpg)
And where is it?
-
1914 Sentinel Standard Steam Wagon.
In preservation not far from me.
-
it's a green car
Yup, it's green Peter, but no beer.
-
it has nice headlights ;)
Peter, again you are right, but still no beer.
-

It's here, right in front of me ;D

A one and a half litre HRG?? screen looks different to the one I know but worth a shot ;)
-
A one and a half litre HRG?? screen looks different to the one I know but worth a shot ;)
Unfortunately no, Dr.S.
As a clue, not sure whether these were a standard fitment but there are a few Singer and Ford (3.3ltr) engined versions around.
-
Its not some duff kit car is it leftie?
-
Well I don't think its an AC, a Lea Francis a Wolseley or a Fraser Nash, even a Rover.
Whats left, Caterham?
-
Its not some duff kit car is it leftie?
Nope, you could buy these in the 1930's, however numbers were limited.
By it's name, it suggests that there could be a racing history. I'll check this evening after the paperwork and the BBQ.
-
is it an early Weber that worked of compressed burning briquette fumes ;) i see to remember seeing one years ago at Beaulieu had a marvelous turn of speed especially with a hot sauce up it's pipe.
Aaw, Peter. You have more imagination than that. Afterall, look under that cover on your drive ;D
BTW, hows the arm mending?
-
1914 Sentinel Standard Steam Wagon.
In preservation not far from me.
1. Correct, What's particularly special about it though?
2. Are you sure?
-
A one and a half litre HRG?? screen looks different to the one I know but worth a shot ;)
Unfortunately no, Dr.S.
As a clue, not sure whether these were a standard fitment but there are a few Singer and Ford (3.3ltr) engined versions around.
Oh God, here we go again...
-
Another clue......
There is a manufacturer link between Jensen, Les Francis, Wolsely, Austin and Lanchester.
-
Is it a 'bespoke' body on a production chasis/engine conbination?
-
It still looks familiar. I think its got to be something silly like a Rover or a Daimler
-
Well I don't think its an AC, a Lea Francis a Wolseley or a Fraser Nash, even a Rover.
Whats left, Caterham?
Lorry, you were so close, a bit more research you would have hit it on the nail.
Firefly, You got the right angle there mate.
So Mr. Z, have you as the font of all knowledge of classic vehicles got it yet?'
Read the clues, part of the answer is in the first clue.
As an aside, 'racing' was not part of the question or a direct clue although the photo was taken at Brooklands. So I think your recent remark was unfounded.
Combine all the clues, you should at least get near.
-
How about a Freddie Dixon Riley, although the rad's not quite right.
-
as the clue is in the first part of the question is it a British Salmson?
-
Another clue......
There is a manufacturer link between Jensen, Les Francis, Wolsely, Austin and Lanchester.
Colin Chapman's original backstreet Austin conversion?
Who's Les Francis??
-
Its the badge that puts me off. It looks like an MG, but no Octagon badge or axle fairing thing, and its classy.
Must be an Aston then
-
Well lets bring everything together.............
Here is the car at Brooklands...
(http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa64/jjkt15/Cars/015.jpg)
There were two clues:-
Clue 1: As a clue, not sure whether these were a standard fitment but there are a few Singer and Ford (3.3ltr) engined versions around.
Clue 2: There is a manufacturer link between Jensen, Lea Francis, Wolsely, Austin and Lanchester. (Andy even you spelt Lee Francis wrongly on an earlier posting).
The spurious racing comment was because I photographed it at Brooklands. I have contacted the owner through a club and await furth details.
Both Lorry and Firefly were on the right track.
Clue 3: The pic is of a '2 seater', they also manufactured a 4 seat tourer.
Any ideas?
-
Jerry, lets bloody look through the key hole and see who owns the house, these interminable 'clues' are pissing me off. Enough already.
Come on Peter, play the game! Now think man! Which manufacturer made a four seat tourer... ??? yes, i know, all of them did but...
PS Leftie, good point well made; but my mistake wasn't made in a clue or when my competence was under the microscope! You won't wriggle out of it so easily! :D
-

-
Jerry, lets bloody look through the key hole and see who owns the house, these interminable 'clues' are pissing me off. Enough already.
Peter, is that because you don't know the answer?
-
It looks a bit like something my uncle nailed together when I was a kid, it was based on a thoroughly rotten MGB.
(This was probably 1980 - 1985, I think he's still got it)
-
Ooh, I've thought of another defunct british car manufacturer
Frazer nash?
EDIT - nope, lorry already thought of that. About a month ago. Keep up Livingstone!
-
Could be a Riley of some sorts, they seemed to have made quite a few models incl a 4 seat tourer.
????
-
I don't think it is a Riley because the bonnet badge would be a diamond shape and usually the top of rad surround would have a V shape.
But no idea.....
-
Morgan? Alvis? British Eagle? Bean Car?
-
The body looks like an Avon. Is it on a Standard chassis?
-
I think its a tarted up Marlin, or a very early TVR or Marcos
The oval badge still bothers me. It can't be a Ford so it must be a Wolseley or a Land Rover
That also discounts Lagonda, Lanchester, MG, Hillman, Humber, Riley and Sunbeam, plus quite a few others. Still there are still about 600 makes to go
Last guess, a Standard Swallow
-
I have had to do 'work' the last two days :( hence lack of involvement. So had some family time to boot. Albeit you are all classed as an 'extended family' so to speak.
So to continue.
Ok, Ok, Judging by some postings there is a tad of frustration in the air :laugh:
The car in the photo is an Avon Standard Special or as Standard would prefer, a Standard Avon Special circa 1930/32. (I'm awaiting history from owner).
The general history is as follows..................
The New Avon Body Co.Ltd. was established in 1922, just one of a prolific group of bespoke coachbuilders based in the heart of the British motor industry, in this case in Warwick. Their early business was dominated by coachwork manufacture for Lea-Francis, however an association with The Standard Motor Co.Ltd. was forged through the Jensen brothers who asked Avon to put into production one of their designs built on a Standard Nine chassis. Jensen influence and design flair on both Standard and Austin chassis certainly established New Avon as a coachbuilder of some significance and, although the Jensen brothers involvement was short-lived, the arrival of designer C.F.Beauvais on the scene ensured the continuation of elegant sporting models which appeared on such marques as Wolseley, Austin and Lanchester. For the 1932 season New Avon exhibited no less than four Standards on Stand 99 at The Olympia Motor Exhibition, two 16hp Coupes, a 'Big-9'Sports 2 seater and a 'Little-9' Coupe, promoting the models as 'for the discriminating motorists who are looking for a car giving economical, fast transport, with compelling beauty of line and finish'.
I did a search through the clues, although it took some time, Avon was a common denominator.
Good luck on the next one.
-

Not a word of "Well done Kpy, it is an Avon on a Standard chassis".
Not sure I want to play any more (sulks)......................
-
Well done Chris. Credit where credit is due.
(http://www.globalschoolnet.org/gsnabout/images/applause.gif)
-
here is a nice Silver car...
name of manufacturer and type, please, this will not be difficult or convoluted.
MMMM, now then, it has Lambo wheels and the lights look like they are from an Espada, and it looks like the work of Gandini. So I'm guessing at Lambo
-
Morris 1000 Traveller, GT.
H
-
Looks like a variation on a De Tomaso Pantera / Mangusta to me. ???
Dx
-
Maserati? Or an Austin Hereford replacement which the fools at Longbridge never built?
So what are these? (and they're not from Longbridge)
-
I can't help getting Lambo and Lotus out of my head, but the badge keeps throwing me!
-
The pair ---- not longbridge??? but maybe canley???
not 100% but maybe triumph bullet prototypes??? forerunner of TR7?
looks like triumph wheels and spitfire door handles
-
O A B's could be a Maserati merek prototype maybe?
A Z's A hint of Jensen about them.
-
O A B's is a Bizzarrini Manta Concept.
(enough zz's!)
-
Had the time do some research now:
Entering the 1970s, Triumph decided on a two-pronged attack on the sports car market: Bullet was the TR6 replacement incorporating, like the Stag, a roll-over bar and T-bar. Lynx was the closed coupé, to replace the GT6. Like all Triumphs since the Herald in 1959 (and excluding the Karmann-designed TR6), both cars were styled by Michelotti.
so Bullet on the left - Lynx on the right
-
Ok, Ok, Judging by some postings there is a tad of frustration in the air :laugh:

From Roman Holiday?

No, just a reference to the luggage. The photo is from a film, though.
-
Dr S, unfortunately no! and I'm surpizzed from such a buff as yourself. Try again.
That's day time drinking for you- clouds your judgement ;D
-
From Roman Holiday?
No, just a reference to the luggage. The photo is from a film, though.
Car colour and Reg No. look like an RAF Staff Car of late 40's early 50's. The shiney bits are confusing though as they should not be chromed.
So could be a Vauxhall.
Not too sure on the film.
-
It's not a Vauxhall, not a staff car and in the film the occupants are not going on holiday.
-

You mean the locks on the suitcase should be brass not chrome? How does that help?
The car reg isn't military, so not a staff car. I still say it's being used for the purposes of some sort of trip or vacation and I don't care what KPY says.
-
They are going on a trip, and Peter the One Armed Teddy is thinking along the right lines.
Just need the film and the car now.
-
See, I told you they were off on some sort of mini-break. A dirty weekend in paris with the secretary would be my guess.

is that one where they pick up a hitchhiker, Anthony Quale and he doesn't how to get a brew going ;)
Peter, I'm sure thats 'Ice Cold in Alex', Black and White if I recall corectly. Based on an ambulance journey.
The photo' shows a RHD motor, so could it be something about Gibralta? As plate not military but RHD but with a 'continental' look about it
It also shows one femail passenger in the rear.........................

See about page 4 of this thread, we did Ice Cold before Le mans. The one I'm talking about is like a muslim version of breakfast at Tiffany's, except they all have their throats slashed at the end.

Nope.
The car has Le Mans connections.
I don't expect anyone to guess the film, although the theme has been correctly guessed on this thread and the leading actor's performance is regarded as one of his best. Clue - he died about two years ago.

here's a vehicle while we are awaiting the next blinder from Dr S
TOAT,
Its a Morris Commercial 6x4 PU I think.
There are no front mounted insignia plates so may not of served in the military or you photoshoped them out.
Morris Commercial CDSW Field Artillery Tractor Reg.No JMX 842.
The Morris 6x4 Tractor was brought into service in the 1930's to tow heavy field guns like the 25 pounder but was not as manouverable as the later Morris Quad which replaced it. Many CDSW's were left on the beaches at Dunkirk after the evacuation and were repaired and used by the German Army.
Now that I have learnt how to post a picture, here it is before Teddybear edited it.....So Mr Teddybear, do I earn a beer?

Come on Peter,
You castigated me for my clues, and you can't be bothered to reply to Firefly even though you've been online. Also, you 'told me off' for starting a parallel photo thread. I don't see you doing the same to anyone else on this forum! (Perhaps it's a personal thing?) Get with it mate.
As far as I am concerned, firefly has earned a crate of beer as its the same photo including the Registration Number.
First posting on this thread and he got the nail on the head.
Is this a 'FIRST'?

Jerry, I'm sure it's not personal, it's just Peter's a bit like me; old school. It's just one of those golden rule things if you're into quizzes, that is to say if you ask the question then you better have the right answer!

Neil, you really must get out more, spending all your time on dashboardsRus.com is not good.
This one is really anoying. One feature looks familiar, but with a 120mpg speedo, its hardly a sports car, but the rear view mirror on the dashboard suggests a soft top. The build quality suggests Italian.

Surely that can't be an '1100', with bonnet bulges like that it must be a large twin cam or a 'V' engne.
But i seems to be the norm these days, I could be wrong.
Judging by the the plate, was it built when Germany still had control after the ............. or beforethe Italian designers went to college?
-
It has an all alloy 1100cc twin cam engine. Not sure what you mean with the number plate- it is displaying a dealer's plate in the pic, not the original plate. Car was constucted well after the Germans had left in 1948.

So utterly close as to be unbelieveable!!!
Dave you are about a fag paper (or single digit) away from another correct answer!

Wolsey 16/60 I would guess then. did they make a 15/50?
Learnt to drive on a 16/60 but MG version, many moons ago, maybe Rup can recall?

The fact that you learnt to drive has come as a shock!

Correct! And yes they did a 15/50.
Tell us about wrecking one...
-
As SL seems to have gone back into hiding, the fate of the Wolsey was the same as that of an A40 and VW Beetle, the other 2 I recall.
My big brother and his mates would buy an old car and with the best intentions of putting them back onto the road, then thrash the nuts of them on a disused car park close to our house until they broke and they run out of knowledge on how to fix them, usually a week.
At least one, the A40 I think, was intended to go banger racing with, but it never left our drive until Billy Bridges picked it up a few months later.
It should be noted that one of those mates, now restores and races classic 50's and 60's cars, so i suppose the trainning did pay off for at least one of them.
-
That is about it but the cars did last more than a week!
From memory, after the 16/60 there was a minivan, VW beetle, A40, 1950's Ford Consel, and another mini.
The A40 was going to be raced until someone put the engine into the radiator (don't ask how!), wrecking the rad, hoses and engine mounts, although the mounts may have gone beforehand. As for the rest, I think the VW's clutch went, mini rotted away, as did the Wolsey, and the consel's gearbox broke (old "3 on a tree" shift).
-
Ok here's a good one, as this post has been a bit slow recently.
Volvo showed their sports car with a new concept for "A" post design, the simple fact is it is not new.

Its based on a 95 Roller, and after a quick trip to a coach builder, an Indian chap if the internet is to be believed, it now looks like a far more modern car.
Is the owner a relative of the Sultan of Bruni?

Its not a very well know fact, but during the nineties the Sultan of Brunei kept RR & B Motors afloat by commissioning 21 vehicles. 7 each of 3 different body styles. 1 of each to be kept at his various residences around the world. This may be one of those very vehicles. Each of the cars was hand built by RR & B's in house coach builder Mulliner Park Ward
-
Wow - What a clever bunch of CA's.
Yes a Wolls Woyce - built for the Sultan of B.
Was there not another rumour, that the S Of B, did not like people owning things he owned, he just kept them and parked them up.
Was told this about is a story about his super yachts, so guess it must be close to his cars as well.

I do know that there were certain styling features on the cars he had commissioned that were not allowed to be replicated on any of the main production vehicles...one of the reasons why you don't see Rolls or Bentleys with the trendy 'shark gill' brake cooling vents in the front wings :) So it is probably true about him hoarding stuff rather than let other people own it.
-
(http://www.clubarnage.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=8470.0;attach=5776;image)
One of the Sultan’s most recent acquisitions is this amazing and unique £500,000 Rolls Royce, photographed in London. A Silver Spirit Mk IV has been transformed into a 6.75l sports coupé with a sloping 350Z-style rear and scissor doors normally found on a Lamborghini Murcielago.
This particular Spirit of Ectasy and its carriage were designed by DC Design, an Indian firm owned by Dilip Chhabria. Chhabria qualified in Transportation Design from the Art Centre of Design, Pasadena and went on to work in the Design Centre at General Motors. He kicked the job in to launch his own automotive styling company in India and DC Design now offers vehicle and plane styling, show car and prototype building, customised and armoured vehicles building and, oddly, bespoke furniture.

'fraid not usually the Abarth came with 2 side draft weber's 36D04

Well its silver, not Green, Red or Blue or a big V8, so for the era, that only leaves Porsche.
What else is odd, is that its a left hooker. Even the French used to put the driver on the right for better weight distribution (will someone tell Audi!)

And the answer is -
1955 ABARTH Cisitalia 207/A Boano Spider corsa ex Piero Dusio
Wiki
Piero Dusio (October 13, 1899 – November 7, 1975) was an Italian soccer player, businessman and racing driver.
Dusio was born at Scurzolengo, province of Asti. His active soccer career (three games for Juventus 1921-22)[1] ended in a knee injury, after which he started a textile business (oil cloth), which evolved into sporting goods as well as becoming supplier of military uniforms. He raced in the Mille Miglia (1929-38), was sixth in 1936 Italian Grand Prix, winning Mille Miglia in a Siata 500cc (1937), and formed the Scuderia Torino (1939).[2][3] He commissioned Dante Giacosa of Fiat to develop a racing car (1944), and formed the «Consorzio Industriale Sportiva Italia» (1944). The firm became Cisitalia and involved Carlo Abarth, Rudolf Hruska and Ferry Porsche. Dusio won in the Giovanni Savonuzzi-completed car's premiere race at Coppa Brezzi in Turin (1946).[4]
Piero Dusio continued financing racing car projects, but the expenses in engineering the complex 202MM[5] almost ruined Cisitalia (1947), as well as involved the Juventus corporation (where Dusio was president 1941-1947). Consequently, Dusio moved to Argentina and established Autoar (Automotores Argentinos) S.A.I.C. (March 22, 1949)[6], financially supported by Juan Peron.[7] His son, Carlo Dusio continued to run a refinanced Cisitalia company in Torino (1948-1964).[8]
Dusio tried but failed to qualify for one Formula One World Championship grand prix (Italy 1952) with a Cisitalia D46, but he failed to set a time in practice due to engine problems. He raced in the Buenos Aires Grand Prix in 1954, and also started Cisitalia Argentina Industrial y Comercial SA, planning cars such as the Cisitalia 750 (1960).
He died at Buenos Aires in 1975.
So looks like SL was correct.
Of to my vaults now to find another
-
While Neil checks his Vaults, any idea what this little devil is?
I would think its not too hard as the car is quite well known.
-
Nope, not a TVR.
-
Must be an Alfa with that nose.
-
Is it a Panhard
-
No to all the above, but Vegas is the closest so far in terms of geography.
This car had a very special engine.
-
I think I've worked out the make, but although it looks familiar, it must be a real oddity.
-
Its very much a one of version with a unique feature that was the stuff of comic books and is much greater use in other modes of travel.
-
Front reminds me of a Buick.
Engine jet powered? As the 50/60's idea of the future
Colour scheme is American, but the car seems small and with nice curves, which is something I do not associate with yank tanks.
So still no wiser, back to my vaults to find the answer.

It's a FIAT and it is turbine powered.
Try and get the make and model later but I have a feeling it is a one off concept car

The Triple Turbine Fiat Turbina
(http://jalopnik.com/assets/images/gallery/12/2008/05/medium_2513715055_7cbeb32920_o.jpg) (http://jalopnik.com/photogallery/fiatturbina/1001608547)

The Fiat Turbina is one of those odd little engineering exercises which eventually fade into the ether. As a car, it certainly was interesting to look at, beautiful even, and wore high fins way before they were cool. But the really slick stuff was under the skin. The mid-mounted powerplant consisted of three different turbines all working together. Two acted as compressors for the third, which in turn powered the wheels. With peak output of 220 HP at a staggerin 22,000 RPM, the Turbina was capable of a very respectable 155 MPH.
-
SL - what a clever man you are, I was miles off the motor.
Why thank you kind Sir!!!!
Seemed to be the only one who saw FIAT in the wood pannel behind (Looked again and cannot see it this time, Thanks to London Pride Brewies for this last night!). The Turbine was from Rup's clue
-
A little gem of a car, way ahead of its time, lovely lines and the colour scheme works really well I think.

And for an extra SMUG point, where was location of this bit of the film???????

The Rutles, All You Need Is Cash.
First screened on BBC2 in 1978, at a time when the standing of The Beatles was at its lowest, The Rutles--All You Need is Cash is the original and best "rockumentary" spoof. Codirector Eric Idle was then enjoying success with Rutland Weekend Television, while his script displays the same feeling for the inane non-sequitur evident in his Monty Python work. The band's progress from "penniless, untalented nobodies" to "rich, untalented somebodies" is vividly brought to life--with dialogue adapted from actual Beatles interviews and newsreels, and a roster of songs sounding uncannily close to Beatles originals thanks to "Nasty" Neil Innes' genius for pastiche. Interviews with a suitably...
No idea were it was filmed, but think OAB is right and its the Liverpool area given the films content.

OK Correct and correct - Well done.
Vehicle - GMC DUKW
Film - The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash
Smug Points - Southport Beach - used by the coastgaurds, as the tide use to come in very fast and people use to get stuck by the tide. (not sure if they still use one)
Also - Southport beach has a good motoring history - In the 1920's Southport was the most important place in Britain for motor racing (see http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/northwest/series10/week3_racing_southport.shtml )
examples - Henry Seagrave's 1926 attempt on the Land Speed record

This clip shows most of the above from the love bug. It also has some clips from later films, most notably Herbie races what look like a Ferrari Daytona and a Lancia stratos. He is clearly faster.
Quite how he turned into a NASCAR is beyond me, but my daughters loved it!
As an aged mariner, Ships and Cars are femail and therefore a 'SHE'.
We all have troubles with the femail race.

Herbie, or herbs as i prefer to call him must be a man, he always fall for a sporty young Italian model, unless.....................
Agree about the problems with females, I live with 3 of the monsters and two are only 8!

How about this on from the 60's.
I reckon you can guess the make fairly easily, but the question is where was it raced before the USA? There was only one of these to my knowledge. It is now back in the UK but after these pic's, it was race successfully in the 'States.
To help, there are two B&W pics.

Thats the so called Macau Trimph Spitfire.
It raced in Hong kong (and Macau) in the mid 60's, it then went to the USA but now resides with Dieter Messmer in Switzerland.

As a matter of interest, how did you know so quickly? Are you a Triumph owner?
It's actually back in the UK.
Rup, there's a beer for you.

Ok - heres one, not sure its going to be hard, but knowing you lot is will be a walk in the
park bar
Whats the film.
Let me know if you lot want or even need a hint, ;)

Back to my vaults - back soon
-
OK
Back, that was quick
Name that film
-
OK
Back, that was quick
Name that film
Had a quick glance and thought the sign said 'Cafe Open Losers Welcome' but obviously wrong.
Basically, I don't know but looks like an Ausie 60's job.
-
No English film from the 60's
The van in the pic, just used for dressing the set, was owned by Delta Doric, who use to construction around Pinewood Studio, where this was filmed.
This part of the action took part inside the cafe.
Sad bit is I think this cafe was on the Colnbrook by pass - I really do need to get out more.
-
Another clip, taken from my TV, but due to credit crunch, I have had to go to a black & white one, cheaper to run. Better mpg. ::)
The film was in colour, made in the 60's and it was a comedy.
Film ( many old cars and 2 x bikes in it to ask to name them)
-
Ohhh, its a Mark Ten
-
Correct Car and the van in the other clip is an Austin J2.
And the film is?
-
Is it Eric and Ernie in 'Intelligence Men'
-
I guess it's my assumption,
It could be up the Junction?
-
Is it Eric and Ernie in 'Intelligence Men'
That man is Correct, all the clips are from the film, but not necessarily in the right order.
off to me vaults again....... be right back
-
mmmmm, here a nice one.
Concept cars, who can tell me more about this one?
-
Oldsmobile F-88 from 1954
-
Here's another concept, what is it, who made it?
-
Steve
I thinking it might be a Pontiac Banshee XP-833 from 1964.
Well?
-
Steve
Well?
Yes thank you (although I do get a bit of a twinge in the cold weather ;D )
Full marks for the Tin Indian - it was rumoured that it was to be Pontiac's challenge to the Corvette, and was swiftly buried by the General Motors suits.
Next .......
-
Come on then Neil.
What's this one then?
-
Holden Efijy
It would never get over the speed bumps in my road.

OK
Back to the origins of this subject -
Whats this van - (come on Andy, you need to be quick)
-
Okay ;)
It's German or Italian
-
Okay ;)
It's German or Italian
nein
Ich kann Ihnen solch einen einfachen Tipp nicht geben ;)
ja ist es deutsch (area)
-
Ok - bit more on the pic, this company is still in existance (from europe - depending on the times) Very well known for its trucks in certain fields. Also known for its cars it use to make - in fact I'm sure most people have desired one at one time. A major manufacture copied one of its designs years ago.
This van is a pre-production unit used for a famous (well I was told it was) expedition in the early 60's.
Any more than that, will give it away.
Who can tell me more?
-
I was thinking it could be a DAF, then I read the 'most people have desired one' so maybe not.
-
Well, I do remember that some people who drove in backwards racing (yes, they really had to drive in reverse!) loved the DAF's, as they would have the same speed in reverse as in normal direction. ;D
-
Well, I do remember that some people who drove in backwards racing (yes, they really had to drive in reverse!) loved the DAF's, as they would have the same speed in reverse as in normal direction. ;D
I feel I need a car like that - good for Italians.
I was thinking it could be a DAF, then I read the 'most people have desired one' so maybe not.
No not a DAF, more east (if my map of europe, in my head, is any good)
Desired for one, well it was a design classic (the car)
They are known, more for their Trucks, would get almost anywhere.
Cars - well 2 designs very well known, and one feature of one of their engineering speciality was nicked copied by a very major car manufacturer. Whiched helped them in production of one of the world's best known car range??????
Do you need more of a hint, the chrome at the front was not normally fitted to the vans, not need for their role.
Another hint - look how high it sits.
-
Unimog.
Austrian Steyr-Daimler-Puch?
Stuff nicked by Audi?
-
I was thinking it could be a DAF, then I read the 'most people have desired one' so maybe not.
No not a DAF, more east (if my map of europe, in my head, is any good)
Well, going more west would bring you in the nort sea. ;D
DAF was (or is) our national pride in car manufacturing.
-
ok - nicked is a strong word, may be not.
the company who had their ideas copied/infringed/nicked filed a lawsuit against the main manufacture. But it was stopped, after a certain event. One way of stopping a lawsuit.
who was the main manufacture ?
and who made the van
-
Didn't Triumph copy a Lancia before the war, but it looks more like a Commer/Karrier fire engine. However it seems that Lancia did make trucks.
-
I thought Andy had it with Unimog.
Maybe its an Avia, part of the Skoda group and therefore part of VAG
-
All wrong so far.
The unimog is closest, but its not.
mmmm,
another hint - one of the oldest vehicle makers in the world????? (in the top 10)
Just checked something Skoda is near?
-
Bloody hell this is hard!
Tatra maybe, one of the oldest, used to make cars, near Skoda but the rest does not fit?
-
Star? Built in Poland ???
-
OK I am thinking along the lines of a famous film probably watched several times by all petrol heads. Not the star rather the mugged party
I cannot find the exact model at the moment though I am trawling the tinternet thingy
-
The answer – Tatra 805
Bloody hell this is hard!
Tatra maybe, one of the oldest, used to make cars, near Skoda but the rest does not fit?
Yes is does.
The engineers Miroslav Zikmund (born 1919) and Jiří Hanzelka (1920-2003) undertook two long-term travel expeditions. During the first one, between 1947 and 1950, driving a mass-produced Czechoslovak passenger car Tatra 87, they traveled through Africa and South and Central America. They undertook the second expedition between 1959 and 1964, using two prototypes off-road vehicles Tatra 805, and they visited some states of the Near East, monsoon Asia, Indonesia and Japanese Islands, and most of then-Soviet Asia.

OK some explanations of my statements made.
Tatra is the third oldest car maker in the world after Daimler Mercedes-Benz and Peugeot.
Tatra specialised in air cooled engines and all wheel drive trucks (4x4, 6x6, 8x8, 10x10, 12x12) were very popular with the army and also in the Paris Dakar rally
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/43/Loprais03.jpg) (http://www.loprais.cz/loprais/rubriky/fotogalerie/wallpaper/2007_Tunis_140_1280.jpg)
Come on Paddy, you have your HGV liecence, imagine driving this (I want to!)
Between 1921 and 1937, Hans Ledwinka was the chief design engineer again at the Tatra company (originally Nesselsdorfer-Wagenbau) in Kopřivnice (Nesselsdorf), then in Czechoslovakia, now in Czech Republic. Here, Ledwinka invented the frameless central tubular chassis (so-called "backbone chassis") with swing axles, fully independent suspension and rear-mounted air-cooled flat engine. Other major contribution of Ledwinka to automobile design is the development of car body streamlining and its introduction into mass production
Volkswagen controversy
In June 1934, Ferdinand Porsche received a contract from Hitler to build three prototypes from designs Porsche already had, such as Porsche's 1931 Type 12 car. The three cars were completed in winter 1936. However, the original car designs follow from the innovative ideas of Hans Ledwinka,
Ledwinka's concepts were copied by Ferdinand Porsche, who knew Ledwinka personally and exchanged ideas with him. Tatra sued Volkswagen about the breaches of the similarities in the Volkswagen design which has been virtually copying Tatra T97. The lawsuit vanished as the Nazi Germany invaded Czechoslovakia in 1938 (one way of getting rid of a lawsuit), and Hitler ordered the production of Tatra T97 to be halted. Only 500 cars were produced.
Porsche's successors later had to acknowledge the influence of Ledwinka's Tatra models on the Porsche-designed Kdf-Wagen of 1938 (later known as the VW Beetle), and a new post-war lawsuit resulted in a DM3,000,000 settlement paid by Volkswagen to Ringhoffer-Tatra.
So the link was VW Beetle.
The car people would desire for is (well you have to say for a 30’s car it looks good) is the T87

Youtube - good film, but whats the poilce car/van (and No I do not know)
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=cP_7WyAqRps
and another one, guess who owns this one,
http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/cars/Tatra_shell.shtml

What no disagrement about the junk I said about the Tatra
-
Its all fine by me, but for ww2 tatra would be a major player now.
Get back down your cellar for another!

Before i go down the cellar, and boy it's dark down there.
I agree about Tatra would have been a major player, but they did get their own back
After the invasion of Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany, Tatras continued in production, largely because Germans liked the cars. Liked them too well, in fact; many German officers met their deaths when pushing heavy, rear-engined Tatras faster around corners than they could handle. In fact, the Tatra became known as the 'Czech Secret Weapon' for the scores of officers who died behind the wheel; at one point, it seems, official orders had to be issued forbidding German officers from driving Tatras.
-
Back form the cellar, dark and too many spiders down there so was quick
Whats the motor?
-
After Tatra, it should be a Skoda Felicia, but its too ugly, so my guess is a Lancia Aurelia or something else I can't spell
-

No its not, but I know you can spell this my old son.
Keep looking
Just been cheeking, i did not know this till now. Has been raced by some very famous racing drivers.
In fact this car manufacture has raced at Le mans.
-
looks like a Peugeot to me :(
No - sorry
keep trying - head east
This manufacture still exists today, making cars and trucks.
-
Could it be a 1964 datsun Fairlady?
-
Oh yes - Correct (5 years out - but hell whos counting)- that man wins a cigar (only to smoke outside)
The Car a 1600/2000 Datsun
for their racing history look at following site - ( http://www.datsun.org/fairlady/usindex.htm )
even raced at Road Atlanta

-
OK, on to the next one.
As it's winter and I'm sitting in front of a roaring fire (hope it's a fire, otherwise my house in on fire!). Here's one to keep you warm.
Who can tell me more, not sure but don't think it raced at Le Mans.
-
Looks like it could be a Sentinel, but there again I could be wrong !!
-
Yep, this one's a Sentinel Typhoo Reg JCN898J !!
-
Gordon - you are spot on, even the reg.
Full marks - that was flipping quick
Now for the next one, be back soon
This bus took 10 years to build: Sentinel Typhoo is made from various tractor parts and powered by 100 horse power locomotive steam engine. This is already more than a tractor, less than a train, and exactly a bus - a moving, "breathing" hybrid machine.
-
Last one was BIG.
Here is a small one, but that does not make it any easier.
Tell me more about this one
-
Ok Neil.........could it be a truck in disguise?
It's a Tata Nano

The Moxie Company is the oldest bottler of soft drinks in the US. Years ago they had a fleet of six of these cars which were used for parades and publicity. The driver sits atop the horse and drives the car using the stirrups as the accelerator and brake.
Only one of the original cars still exists. Originally based on a 1929 LaSalle,
Known as the Moxie Horse Car.
Possibly the photo is of a replica based on a 1927 Rolls Royce.
Film clip of the car being driven here!

Bloody hell, do you lot know everything.
I thought I would have a few more days, before I had to the my vaults, down in the deep dark (spider infested) cellar.
So yes SL - Correct.
OK here the next, what is this for - Who can tell me more.
-
Thats the world famous Budweiser "Land Cruiser" c. 1925.
The car was equiped with working cannons fore and aft but it is not know if it ever sank another car and is the only one with a bell.
BTW, There is only one left of the 8 made, the Budweiser II Land Cruiser, Original made on a Pierce-Arrow chassis, but changed sometime in its history to a caddy. The car was found in 1960 and had a full restoration in 1990 and the chassic changed again to a another 1930's caddy.
.
-
What can I say................................
AGHHHHHHHHHH
Correct - spot on, what else can I say.
All I can do is post a bigger picture, of the motor. My only question is it was taken in the 20's, how did Bud survie the American Prohibition is the period from 1920 to 1933.
Any big pic of the motor - back soon with another one.
-
OK - just run down to my vaults, told you I would be quick (spiders down there - you know)
Who can tell me more about this one,
-
My only question is it was taken in the 20's, how did Bud survie the American Prohibition is the period from 1920 to 1933.
The Boat cars were used to promote a brand of Bud called 'Bevo'. It was a non achololic drink and therefore not worth knowing about.

There are very strong design cues from the Maserati A6GCS "Monofaro" single seater and the holes on the wing are another clue.
ok found it.
Maserati A6G 2000 Frua Spider maybe?
I think I need to get out more
btw, looking for in info on the above turned up the fact that James Martin, who is a cleb chef owns one of the 15 single seaters made.

So Close.......................................................................................... Well you would be if it had gull wing doors and made out of Stainless Steel.
OK - hint - normally left hand, not many made, but a major manufacture.
any good?
another hint, this manufacturer has a great and wide motorsport racing history.

So as it's an Italian, off for my expresso and will be back with the next one.
arrivederci ;)
-
ciao
Back after me express, get another one later. ohh the caffeine rush............
Now the next one a simple one, tell me more
-
NSU Ro 80
The NSU Ro 80 was the last car to bear the NSU name.......
Also the name of a STI :o
-
See told you it was a simple one,
Correct - NSU RO80 - there use to be around the the back of where I used to live in the 70's - always it looked a smart car.
Now on to the next, a touch harder.
What can you tell me about this one......
-
Well I can tell you it has a 2 cyl 583cc/598cc engine, good for around 130km/hr. First produced in Italy in 1959 and ended in Germany in 1967.
I tell you the name a bit later.
Simon
-
SL is close...........................
Think I better get my next car out the garage for you lot to look at,
-
Is this one closely releated to the one before?
maybe an NSU Sport Prinz?
-
Correct - well I thought I try to slip that one in.
The motor is - 1962 NSU Prinz sport coupe
and swiftly on to the next,
who can tell me more about this one

Del
I thought that, but alas no its not.
try again (it is British)
-
It does look familiar, and I thought it was an Allard too. i don't think its Bristol, Alvis, Frazer-Nash, Healey or Dellow, and I'm not sure whats left.
From memory the rear end is pig ugly
-

This car has been exhibited in the museum at the Le Mans circuit
As for its rear, didn't think it looked too bad.
-
I think I know what it is!
Come on Del, there is another british company maybe the most british of all!
Its won LM outright and been thru some very tough times but seems on a more stable footing now.
This car could be described as the link between post war and pre war for this maker and was a prototype.
As victor once said, I liked it so much I brought the company! could apply here.
The model shown shares its name with a single seat road car.
-
flipping hell - Rup your good.
You have been listening to those voices again,
Come on folks - Rup knows it - what about the rest of you - pointing no fingers -DEL & LORRY ;D
-
Ho Hum..........must be something to do with atoms....if you ask me .....or is it astons.....can't remember which ;D
-
Put Aston and Atoms together and you get the Aston Martin Atom.
It had a space frame with aluminium body. An assortment of engines were available.
Built 1939 - 1944. David Brown is said to have liked the cars so much he brought the company.
Simon
-
Well done gang - correct answer.
Aston Martin Atom
Back soon with another one, after I have had a pint for you lot
-
OK - on to the next one,
painting by numbers possible,
what is this motor?
-
De Tomaso Pantera?
-
De Tomaso Pantera?
Bloody hell that was quick, - Correct.
Back again with another,
Ok here we go, whats this one

That looks very much like a Lancia-Ferrari D50.
I would think the photo was taken at goodwood fos.

OK
A hint,
1. Its Silver
2. 19590's
3. Its silver
4. Prototype
5. its still silver
6. designed by a major design house begining with Pininfarina
7. and last - its silver

oh yea, just remember, do not type numbers after a few beers, ;D , what I meant to say was 19.50 or just before 8.00pm
no -more stylish - think of fashion
-
Another pic, to confuse everyone (including me)
-
Its RHD and a prototype, so that would suggest British
In the background there are Italian cars, but looking a bit like a British stately home car show.
Its Silver

oh yes - it's still silver ;D
They still make cars today, but do not sell in the UK anymore, not since the 80's. But have told they are due back in the 2009/10.
This car, which the prototype is based on, opened the doors for selling the car in the USA and sold well in its time (so I was told).
-
I remember a silver Lancia from the early sixties, that had a Pinifarina badge on it, but it looked more like a stylish Morris Oxford, and it didn't rot like the ones from the 1970s, so my guess would be Aurelia,
and Google tells me its 52
-
Correct -my details show 54, but thats only 2 years so bloody good homework.
more details see

I know - a nice one - tell me more about this one
Its got less than 4 wheels, do I win?

1934 Goliath Pionier |
Borgward was a German car manufacturer that made quite a few interesting models, and yet very few ever found their way to the United States. Goliath, was a subset of Borgward that operated from 1928 to 1959 and specialized in three-wheeled cars and trucks such as the unusual car in this photo.
This car is a 1934 Goliath Pionier. In the early-to-mid thirties people in Germany were looking for inexpensive personal transportation. The Pionier was created to meet this need. This car, a three-wheeler with a 1-cylinder, 2-stroke engine, was cramped and weak but met the modest standards of most German drivers. The wooden body was covered with artificial leather and mounted on a strong U-profiled chassis. In 1934, 4,000 units were sold.
Goliath continued to upgrade and innovate its micro-cars into the 1950s. Eventually, however, the company lost market share to the new VW Beetle and the DKW F89P Meisterklasse, cheaper cars that had more interior space and power.
The Goliath brand died in 1959. Borgward, which had built its first car in 1929, survived in Germany until 1963. Later that year all manufacturing equipment for the Borgward Isabella and P100 (their final two models) was sold to Mexico where production was continued until 1970
OK you lot are getting too good so need to try and find a harder one
-
And now the next one -
as we have not had a van for a while and that's what started this posting, here's one I found earlier - what is it ?
Who can tell me more about this one. A favorite of mine, for some reason.
-
It looks vaguely familiar (as most of these do) and very VWish
Is it a Fiat
-
It looks vaguely familiar (as most of these do) and very VWish
Is it a Fiat
no and not a VW
-
but Fiat was a good guess.
You've done this one before
-
Lancia beta 1950 something?
-
no, no and no.
come on it's european, but whos!
I only want the make of the van/truck not the manufacture of the mini-firemans ladder.
But it is stylish, with the cutout in the body work for the outriggers.
-
possibly a 1960 something Scania Vabis RDA?
-
possibly a 1960 something Scania Vabis RDA?
No. looking too deep, look at the cuvre on the door, and the style.
More southern Europe.
-
Can I tell them its an Alfa (L12 or something), and the outriggers are to make it easier for the local AA men - it would jack itself up when it broke down.
I think the streetlights are more stylish

So close - but I will give it to you.
Its a Romeo (aparenty they were not known as Alfa Romeo, just Romeo)
The outrigger, are for stabalishing the machine, stop it fall it over when it goes up and turns around.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/17/AlfaRomeo2_LKW_1.jpg/800px-AlfaRomeo2_LKW_1.jpg)
People van - very stylish.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/37/Romeo2.jpg/775px-Romeo2.jpg)
In 1930 Alfa Romeo presented a light truck in addition to heavy LCVs based to Büssing constructions.[19]In the Second World War Alfa Romeo also built trucks for the Italian army ("35 tons anywhere") and later also for the German Wehrmacht. After the war, commercial motor vehicle production was resumed. In co-operation with FIAT and Saviem starting from the 60s different light truck models were developed. The production of heavy LCVs was terminated in 1967. In Brazil the heavy trucks were built still few years under the name FNM (Fàbrica Nacional de Motores). Last Alfa Romeo vans were Alfa Romeo AR6 and AR8, which were rebadged versions of Iveco Daily and Fiat Ducato. The company also produced trolleybuses, which were used by many cities in Italy. Later, Alfa Romeo concentrated only on passenger car manufacturing.
So back soon with another -

Talbert is a good looking car, steamline style - great.
The white car, not Facel Vega, made further a field.
Had some thing strange about it, I have never seen it on a sports car before, in fact strugling to think of any car that had this at all
Is there a hint of Facel Vega about it?

Hi Phil
Your more correct than Pete, but I think he was slightly distracted, I mean the was out of focus ;D
-
Is it a Delahaye?
-
Is it a Delahaye?
no - try another guess
-
Ummm, it looks french and from the 30s
Delage?
-
the cars are slightly different, the b/w version has wider wheel arches than the version in glorious technicolor, so are there to be two answers?
According to my records, they are the same car, the b&w pic is a racing spec one with covers over the rear wheel arches for better streamlining.
The car is a made closer to home than the last guess.
-
Neil,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY although a bit late.
Leftie
-
How about it being an Allard
-
How about it being an Allard
Thanks Lefti, I'm off to the pub for a pint and quizz night!
This car, not Allard, the manufacture has a very good racing history (think they have been at Le Mans)
-
How about a Lagonda, not sure of the model though.
Had a 'Pre Select' gear box etc.
As you all know Lagonda was amalgamated with Aston Martin.
-
Lets try this one!
Bentley 4.25 litre Speciale built in 1938

Andy - you are really doing well, those dishwasher and washing machine web sites must be getting boring, and you back looking at car web sites again.
Correct - 1938 'Embiricos' Bentley (http://www.manager-magazin.de/img/0,1020,597323,00.jpg)
The unique 'Embiricos' Bentley B27LE was instigated by the
Paris Rolls Royce & Bentley agent Walter Sleator as a
response to the increasingly futuristic looking cars from
Bugatti, Lago-Talbot and other French manufacturers which
made the current English cars look somewhat dull. Greek
banker André Embiricos, who lived in Paris, wanted a unique
car based on the Bentley 4.25 chassis and commissioned the
car designed by Paulin - a Parisian dentist - and the resulting
coupé was built by Parisian coach builders Pourtout.
A true super car the Embiricos Bentley with its mechanical
enhancements, streamlined design and lightweight
coachwork was a phenomenally advanced car; just how
advanced was demonstrated in 1949 - a decade after it had
torn round the Brooklands circuit covering a staggering
distance of 114 miles in one hour - when it was entered
privately at Le Mans and finished sixth. The 'Embiricos'
Bentley went on to compete in the 1950 and 1951 Le mans
races.
Back soon with another one
-
OK - here's the next one, see solid roof convertible is not new, this is from way back. When the whole world was in black and white.
So who can tell me more about this one
-
Everybody knows this one........it's a Peugeot 61C Eclipse with a Pourtout body.......and Peugeot were the pioneers of retractable roofs :)
And Neil looking for cars is much better than looking at domestic appliances,and beats watching boring TV on a winters day!!!!!!

Correct Andy, - easy for you Andy, looks like top loading washing machine, but wrong colour ;D
Was a bit of a simple one, as they where the same company that build the Bentley in the last posting.
OK one more - what is this
-
Judging by the display, I would it is an ' Auto Union Diechland Idustries (Audi)?
-
I'll have a stab at it being a Horch.
-
Badged I believe as an Audi 920. It should have the rings on the radiator.
-
Badged I believe as an Audi 920. It should have the rings on the radiator.
Well it is an Audi UW 840 1934, so I think Gordon and Leftie are the closest, .
It did have the rings on the grill, but guess what - I photoshopped them out. Otherwise it would have been toooooo easy.
OK, now for the next one.
What is the car and which film is it from
-
Interceptor, based on 1973 XB GT Ford Falcon Coupe
Mad Max
-
Interceptor, based on 1973 XB GT Ford Falcon Coupe

OK - Did not want to do this, here's the next one.
As its nearly December and on the way to Christmas, and I know how much Andy Z loves that festive season, - heres the next one.
I hope it's hard and I may give out a prize for this one, if I do not have to give out any clues.
In fact, the prize will go down as I give out clues.
OK - No clues - Prize -Bottle of scotch (really - but might be a minature ;D)
So what is it -

could it be a Moretti?
Looks mid 50's Italian to me, but its a hazy guess.
-

Good guess, looked at the pics of the Moretti, see where you were coming from but ...........
Guess 2. - No and slight hint not Italian
-
If it isn't Italian must be a yankie.
How about a Cunningham.
-
If it isn't Italian must be a yankie.
How about a Cunningham.
Guess No3. - No
next
-
I hate these things. It looks familiar, but what is it.
The body shape and lack of rivets suggests its fibreglass.
The full width screen says late 50s
The LH steering and awful piece of old ducting stuck on the bonnet suggests its american
Its something like a Cooper-Buick (which it isn't)
-
Very annoying. :-[
Bits of it hint at cars, but nothing matches so far. Not sure its a US car, being white would suggest that but it looks too well made and tidy to be a one off special.
The photo also has an odd quality about it, could neil be playing a trick on us and the picture is a screenshot or something to do with the film Speedracer?
also whats that pod thing next to the front LHS wheel. Its painted to match but its all very annoying.
-
I reckon it is an AC of some type? maybe an Ace
-
Very annoying. :(
At last, one that is a bit more difficult than normal ;D
OK bit more info/clues, smalller prize now. ;)
Its not an AC, (not english)
Its not American, so not Copper-Buick
Its not Italian
One of two racing cars, made by a major manufacture (and I'm sure you have heard of them ::) - that will confuse and bring aguments later).
Car is made of Fiberglass, and had a speed of over 160mph (so I'm informed)
-
So, judging from the exhausts it's a V8, white.....
White with red numbers is a german thing i'nt it?
-
So, judging from the exhausts it's a V8, white..... It's not Jap is it?
Nick - your right, its not a Jap - next guess
Any more hints needed, yet?
-
If it isn't all the major manufacturing countries, I'll try OZ.
So how about Holden.
Heaven forbid if it's South America and a Panamerican entrant.
But then there are still a few more major contributers to the automotive map.

Oh alright then.It's a Zil 112 sports.........and was a copy of a Ferrari Testarossa.
-
Oh alright then.It's a Zil 112 sports.........and was a copy of a Ferrari Testarossa.
YEA -well done - spot on (how many hours on the pc looing for it ?)
The motor is a Zil 112-S - 1962, pic taken at Riga Motormuseum. Looks like a good one, anybody been to it?
One of the most successful Soviet racing cars, ZIL 112 S, appeared in 1962. As most of Soviet sports cars, 112 S used parts from production Soviet cars, for example front suspension was taken from GAZ 21 Volga, though the rear suspension was fully original. However, as well as disk brakes on all wheels (rear brakes were settled down to a main gear). Of two cars built, one had the V8 6-liter engine providing 230hp, and another - 6,95-liter V8 capable of 270hp, both developed from ZIS 110 unit. Depending on the engine, the 112 S could run 260-270km/h. Just as the enignes, transmissions were taken from ZIS 110, too, but redesigned slightly to apply lightened aluminium carter. Compared to earlier 112 modifications (will post them later), 112 S had shorter wheelbase (2190mm) and less weight (1300kg).
Driving the 230hp car, Viktor Galkin came 3rd in 1963 Soviet championship, and in 1965 the 270hp 112 S won the championship with Gennadi Zharkov at the wheel.
In 1962 one of the cars received a brand-new more closed body and a pallet, covering all the technical elements from below for breaking a Soviet landspeed record. The 112 RG, as it was named, was taken to Astrakhan' region to race on Baskunchak salt lake. But that year Baskunchak was washed by the rain (which, in fact, was almost never seen there), and the 112 RG reached 200-230km/h only - tyres couldn't run faster on such surface.
The second attempt was taken at just built 14-kilometer Dmitrovski autorange. That time ZIL guys planned to beat a record of average speed during the 24h race (don't know whether the car should've been 112 S or 112 RG, in fact later rebuilt back into 112 S), but as the car and the track were prepared, the winter began, and no record attempt could be taken. Next year ZIL direction considered building racing cars an unnecessary capital waste, and switched to another spheres.
Long time both 112 S cars were standing somewhere at the factory and later found their places in Riga automuseum both painted in wrong colors - red and cream-white, though an original ZIL livery was white and blue for both of the cars.

Spot on Mr Bond aka Rup :)
It was a little bit difficult, as the front did look like an Alvis and was right hand drive. Having said that it was a great looking car - would not kick out my garage. Would look nice next to my Herald.
OK on to the next one, and Rup has lined up a nice blue ball, now not sure if it is a difficult shot or not. It's one of those you know can do or not.

Phil
-
Neil,
It is an Oshkosh m997 a2 deck transporter
and now for a red ball again!!!!!
-
I don't have a clue, but it does look american.
Pintos were also famous for an 80 bhp motor coupled to a lazy auto gearbox, so were so slow they tended to get hit from behind frequently
-
OK - I cock it up with the colours, not well is my only excuse.
So Andy was correct.
So starting again with a red ball - what can you tell me about this one.
-
at a guess
Ferrari 246 Dino F1 Racing Car

What is missing?
isn't the quiz about guessing the car?
No2 Car driven byMike Hawthorn, looks like the Black hangar at Silverstone, so hangar straight before Stowe.
Good question, I have checked the rules and discovered there are no rules, it can be about the car/bike/van or even film. In fact what ever I want to make it.... Today the quiz..................... tomorrow......................................................................... a bigger quiz!!!!!!!!
I'd have gone for the world, but thats aleady f**ked up.
So what colour ball are you going for?
-
Neil, good to have you back, what other morsel of info were you after?

I just wanted the name of the driver, pic was from 58. Years before the poison dwarf was around, infact he was even smaller.
OK going for the black, as it is for 7 points, it may be a bit to hard, but we will see.
What can you lot tell me about this one.
(oh yea Lorry, I think those speed bumps have done a bit more damage to this one ;D)
-
That is probably an Audi 1925 Type M 18/70 hp from the Audi museum in Ingolstadt.
Audi commissioned the cutout from one of the few remaining examples in 2007.
Shall we have a red ball now?

It's a Peraves MonoTracer
Powered by a BMW engine, the Peraves MonoTracer is a two seat, fully enclosed motorcycle – with training wheels. The Peraves is designed to retract the trainers when moving and balanced. Once going it can lean up to 52 degrees in a turn. (I’m not sure if that would feel cool or strike panic)

Correct Tom, well done.
Apprently their are a few in the UK, never seen one. Would be great to try one and see how far you could lean over before your bottle goes.
OK - back to the next red ball - What can you tell me about this one, and for no extra points can you tell me what film its from.
-
OK Judgement call.
Both are correct - Manufacture is the same - Peraves from Switzerland,
But the model
Ecomobile is (http://eco.peraves.ch/bilder/Brno07/P7243947.jpg)
and
Mono tracer is (http://eco.peraves.ch/bilder/Brno07/P7233257.jpg)
website - http://www.monotracer.com/index.php?lang=en , which has links to both models.
If there are anymore questions, then we can visit the factory any Sat for a drive,
So the answer is: PERAVES AG - monotracer
So onto the next pic - what is the bus?

My knowledge of buses is a concern for me,

That is a Nissan Figaro (in Pink)
Driven in the Sarah Jane Adventures also the Dr Who forth series (in emerald green)
These were based on the Nissan M*c*a
Only 8000 were made at the start but a further 12000 were made when people brought the things (no accounting for taste).
These were made in 1991 available only in 4 colours after the 1989 motor show.
Emerald Green
Pale Aqua
Lapis Gray
Topaz Mist

.....They are typical Italian company, make small cars, agricutral bits, rubber track undercarrages and porters.
That limits us to about 2,000 companies then ;D
There are microcars in Italy, like Casalini and Fiat are good at tractors and rubber tracks

two companies fit some of the profile.
Berco and Passini, however i cant find any record of either making a micocar.

Now on to a Blue one, what can you tell me about this one and whats special about it?

This is so obvious it is untrue.......
Mr Big, in an attempt of world dominance has invented a machine (lower picture) that will transmit different photoshopped pictures of Blue Ford Transit vans (upper picture) to anyone who logs onto the site. If you look closely I think James Bond can be seen in the lower corner of the upper picture.
If the above is not correct, then I have no idea.

Ok - its a GMC Handivan. But whats special about it ?
It is credited as being a world first???????
So what is special about it?
-
By the power of google
The 1966 GM Electrovan is credited with being the first hydrogen fuel cell car ever produced. Though fuel cells have been around since the early 1800's, General Motors was the first to use a fuel cell to power the wheels of a vehicle
I like this bit!!!
From the outset, the idea was to use a Corvair as the first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and call it Electrovair. But, GM soon discovered that a leak with the electrolyte used caused "brilliant fireworks", plus it weighed 550 lbs. and needed to be housed in a larger vehicle. There was also the incident of the exploding hydrogen tank, which injured no one but sent pieces flying a quarter of a mile, which was of great concern and extra safety precautions needed to be taken to insure that no one working on the project was injured.

As a guess, I think it is a Dinky Vauxhall Cresta Saloon 164 released in March 1957.
Advertised in the may 1958 issue of Meccano Magazine price increased to 3/-.The model was in production during 1957 - 1960.
Based on the 1956 E series car that had the larger rear window and a revised grille.
The original price was 2/11 .
It was available in red & cream, green & grey finish.

Have you been hanging round Christchurch railway station?
-
the condition - it's has play well.
As for the manufacture - hint - 1959 era - see above.
Everyone on this forum has owned or played with a toy from this company.
model no. - 257
So who knows more?
-
As a clue, did this company just make kids toys or did they make other products, like firearms, or main battle tanks? Just wondering as the clue's have a certain ring of familiarity about them ;D
they just make toys, and as far as I know never made firearms - not even toy ones!
There was a hint on the hint before - Bet kids had some in the stockings today.
-
I'm sure they did but who cares, next ::)
You give up to easy, here is another pic of same truck but a tow truck this time.

I'm thinking either a Dinky or a Corgi, but I am going to go with the Dinky.
-
Sorry been busy - working, something I do not like doing.
Well - I'm shocked no one worked out what it was.
The vehicle was a Lego Bedford truck -
hint was the condition - it's has play well.
The company name Lego was coined by Christiansen from the Danish phrase leg godt, which means "play well".
Some of the other cars made -
(http://www.87thscale.info/images/LEGO_folder_dutch.jpg)
they even made a E type (http://www.87thscale.info/images/LEGO_JaguarE.jpg)

The Xylon or Ugly Duckling
Designed by Frank Costin, famous for the Vanwalls and numerous Lotus sports racing cars, the Xylon was (and still is) better known as the 'Ugly Duckling', due to its uncompromising appearance.
Built purely as a race car to compete in 750 Motor Club events, the car was unusual for its wooden chassis, but this gave it a very light weight and in the hands of Jackie Stewart, Jem Marsh and many others, it achieved outstanding success.
The car was powered by a Ford 105E engine and it's high roof was dictated by Jem's considerable height (something which makes all Marcos cars a good choice for taller drivers, to this day). The original car was built in Dolgellau, Wales by Frank Costin and Dennis and Peter Adams, but it was later built in a small production run in Luton.
Back to red I assume.......

That be a "Scammell 3 ton Mechanical Horse.
These were introduced in the 1920/1930's to replace horses in the transport of local goods from the railway stations and around the yards. These were in use up to the 1970's.
The brown one is in Great Western Railways colours the other red one is in the British Railways colours.

-
A 1956 Wartburg ?
Wartburg - not heard of that name for years - may be shown later
It is not from that continent - they the land of penty (well use to be)
-
Borgward would be closer, but I think its obscure American, Olds or Packard, but its tiny, so it could be a copy.
-
How about a Studebaker
-
Ok - is American - build early 50's
This is the Delux model - 6 cylinder. - 0 - 60 in 14 sec
They were even sold thur Sears catalog - and even had a special badged model.
The company mergered with people who supplied the engines, and was eventullay taken over by GM.
So who is and what is it
(note their are 2 names this is called but only one is correct - as that was what it was badged as.)
-
It's a Kaiser-Frazer Henry J Vagabond.
Sold by sears as an Allstate?

-
It's a Kaiser-Frazer Henry J Vagabond.

Haven't had many yellow balls, so one of them please Neil.
Well done Barry - I'll give you that one.
The car is - Henry J - Model K514 Deluxe six cylinder
Details
The 1951 Henry J was introduced at a Chicago showing in February 1950 as the "Red Car", but was not officially on sale till Sept 28, 1950. The 1951 Henry J is often described as “Spartan.” This is an accurate description, at least for the earliest Henry Js.
The Henry J was manufactured using funding from a government loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corp. Part of the agreement was that the car would sell for $1300. To achieve this, features such as trunk lids and glove boxes were not included. Passenger side sun visors and twin horns were not included in the 4 cylinder models in order to meet the price of $1299 FOB.
Engines were supplied by Willys-Overland; the four cylinder motor was the same engine used in the CJ-3 series Jeeps with only slight modifications to component parts; the block and internal components were interchangeable with the CJ-3 jeep.
Frank Zappa recalls in his autobiography the torment and horror of travelling cross-country sitting on the bench-like rear seat of a Henry J (he called it an "ironing board from hell") in the 1950's.
Ok - now to the yellow ball - what can you tell me about it ?
-
I can tell you it's not yellow. :P
Dx
-
I can tell you it's not yellow. :P

On the other hand it could just be Niel's favourite colour ;D
-
If you want a hint - the car should be Red (and its not a Italian car)
???????? - so what is it ???????
-
as it is orange, could it be a spyker???
OK its under the yellow file on my snooker table.
It's not a Spyker - it is from a country that you do not associate super cars manufactures!
another pic (blue this time ::) )
-
You got a great picture of Herman Munster there on the right, so the country would be the Czech Replublic.
I'm still searching for the car.
-
That would be the Marussia.
A hybrid thing, making use of a Nissan 3.5 ltr engine.
The idea of Nikolay Fomenko (FIA N-GT driver).
Brown please. ;D
Doh! Should be red next!

What can you tell me about this one, - it is not as hard as it looks, and why is this a special one?

It's a kiddy peddle type car.
-
Have we swaped from Snooker to Pool? No stripey balls in Snooker.
It's a kiddy peddle type car.
No still snooker - but the pool link was it was from USA.
It is also that colour because it belonged to some one famous.
As far as I know they were all petrol engine powered. - but normally in pastal colours, from what I can remember (unless the paint work has faded)
Let me know if you want some more hints.
-
Hi Neil,
Is it a Disney 'Autopia' car circa the late 1950's?
-
Hi Neil,
Is it a Disney 'Autopia' car circa the late 1950's?
Hi Pete,
Spot on, this one belonged to Walt Disney himself. - Due to be shown in a Museum which is due to open later this year.
how did you get it? - when I first saw it I thought I reconise that car, but was not sure why. Think most of people who have been to disneyland or world must have had a go on one of them.
So what colour ball do you want.
-
Google is your friend ;-), it was a bit tricky though as I've never been to any of Mr Disney's theme parks (thankfully).
Give us a Black ball please.

That man is correct, looked at the history of it and it seems to get more expensive and more money focused. 1986-20 people - 1996-8,000 - 2007-47,000. And now read that they are going to run it as a francised business, other sites around the states and may around the world. Sounds like greed takes over from fans - where have I heard of that before.
OK back to the red ball.
What can you tell me about this one.

What can you tell me about this one.
One of the reasons as to why the Black Rock desert is now becoming more unsuitable for land speed record attempts - all the crap left behind and churned up surface.
-
I thought "red" was supposed to be easy!!!!
After monumental searching.....cos some git photoshopped the Citreon badge of the grill ;D
It is a Citreon 700 Club de 1967

So Mr Wishy, what colour would you like to que up (http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/arts/2007/05/03/snooker460.jpg)
-
Oh.....lets go for brown :)
-

photoshop -no, we have discussed this before - its due to the big speed bumps around here, and bits keep falling off! ;)
OK - on to the brown ball - what can you tell me about this one?

-
Could it be a SS1 Jaguar Light Four Saloon.
-
Could it be a SS1 Jaguar Light Four Saloon.
no
OK - (like I said - may get in trouble here)
hint - before Jag.
-
That would be a Standard Swallow Saloon SS1 1932 - 1936 vintage.
This was before the company became SS, then after the war became Jaguar Cars

-
Corret that man - not sure why its airstream tractor, perhaps to stop the straw being blown out of the yokels gob.
Ok on to the black
What can you tell me about this one - as much as posible as it for 7 points
-
Drawn a bit of a blank so far.
There are hints of corvette about it and the large rear badge is another pointer.
Could it be a police car with those chrome things that look a bit like 1950's police lights on the wings, but there is no signage.
-
no not corvette,
concept car for a famous car, would it had been so desirable had it been designed this way?
No not a police car.
OK - another hint, the designer name made not be known to a lot of people, but - he has designed some of the worlds best items and everyone has seen/used or touched one of his designs. . . . . . . . . . . . . A hint or a wind up? - you decide - we are playing for 7 points!
-
looks like this is going to be well worth those 7 points.
Another pic of the motor, from the front this time, told you that because you may wonder which end.
Checked with the designers work, he has done designs and logo's of some very well known products.
So what concept car is it? and who designed it ?
Oh yea, the fate of this car is unknown, so it could well turn up as a barn find one day Quick check those barns!!!!
-
I wonder if it could be a 1955 Jaguar XK140, Loewy Custom
Penned by Raymond Loewy who designed for Studbaker cars. He also designed among other things, steam locomotives, Hillman Minx, Lucky Strike Logo, Chubb logo, Greyhound busses, Exxon & Spar logos and the interior of Concorde.
The car is probably a 3.8 ltr 6 cylinder, infomation is a bit thin on the ground,

Well done Simon - a FULL 7 points.
How did you know?
In 1956 Raymond Loewy designed a sports car for Jaguar. Loewy had left Studebaker in 1955 and gone abroad to build a series of sport coupes. Among these were the Jaguar in 1956, a BMW 507 roadster displayed at the 1957 Paris Auto Show, and a Lancia, unveiled in 1960. These rare photos of the Loewy Jaguar are from the Gottscho-Schleisner Collection in the Library of Congress. The fate of this unique Loewy treasure is unknown. The popular Jaguar XK-E, designed by Malcolm Sayer only a few years later in 1961, was a radical interpretation of Jaguar traditions. In 1961 Sayer's XK-E could only be thought of as revolutionary and must certainly have influenced Studebaker president Sherwood Egbert's mandate for the Avanti. Loewy's proposals to the Avanti design team (in March 1961) to minimize chrome; avoid decorative moldings; stress long, down-slanted hood; abbreviate rear and tuck under, and pinch waistline, as le Mans-type racing cars were more characteristic of the radical new XK-E than his own earlier Jaguar proposal.
Off to work - ahhhhh 6.20am
back later with the red one
-
Its a david brown tractor, in red.
I can see why you'd think it might be a David Brown Cropmaster

This is the second generation version of the car.
-
Mazda MX-6
Ford Probe?
If correct, blue please.
-
don't think it is Mazda or Ford Barry!!!.......but does look more like a mx-5 rather than a 6?
-
Been on a couple of pages here and there and I would have guess ,cos I cant find a picture of Neil's picture,but could be an american Ford Escort and I think Toyota also made it :P
-
OK - another hint an American car company (and there are only 3!) and another car company - three red diamonds?
Come on,
Oh yea - the car name used and product name is crap - think it must have been dreamt up by a 3 year old!

Yeeeeeeha......that'l be a De Soto Plymouth circa 1940
Back to red again!!!!
-
Point of order Mr. Ref.
It's either a De Soto OR a Plymouth, not a De Soto Plymouth. They were both separate divisions of Chrysler Corp.
So I'm going with a 1939 / 1940 De Soto 4 door sedan.
-
Steve,
On the advert it states it is a DeSoto Plymouth.......what more can I say ;D
-
Sorry Peter,
Milton on Sea is a tad too far for me and work is a little busy at the mo.

Rubbish - it had 4 wheels, but you know about the speed bumps around here - ;D

Cirbin V13R the three-wheeler sports
See even with you missing one wheel - you still got it.
And your choosen colour ?
-

I bet you wish that you had not chosen that colour
One BIG black one for a BIG 7 points.
Diffrent this time, who is driving this car?
Strange I know, but is a very well known person - everyone has heard of him!
Might give some clues later, but will try with out. - also gives me a bit to time to raid the cellar for more pics, have to be careful more spiders and mice down there as is so cold outside.
This is a very rare picture, as he did not like driving much.

WHat can you tell me about this one, what, when, why and where is it now?
Not much, but I need a bit of time to leg it down to the vaults in the cellar again, and its bloody cold down there!
-
That looks like The Antarctic Snow Cruiser, built at the Pullman shops in Chicago late 1939.
It is believed that the idea for the vehicle came about when Dr. Thomas C. Poulter was unable to travel 123 miles to rescue Admiral Byrd due to the inhospitable conditions in the Antarctic.
It was relocated in 1958 under many feet of Snow and Ice. Current whereabouts is subject to conjecture. It was either taken from the Antarctic by the Soviets during the Cold War, or it may still be buried under the Ice, or, more likely, it was in an ice floe which broke away and and thus would now be somewhere at the bottom of the Southern Ocean.
I also believe this vehicle featured in one of Clive Cusslers Dirk Pitt adventures.
Pink ball please.
-
What an amazing thing, I thought it was from some thunderbirds type program, never imagined it had been built!
To fill in a few gaps, the whereabouts of the cruiser are unknown, some say its in the USSR but most likey its now on the ocean floor after it was abandoned by the research team in the early 40's before being found again in the late 40's then lost for good.
-
Don't know if its a colour photo or a colour drawing, but there are some B/W ones here....
http://www.joeld.net/snowcruiser/snowhist.html

Well done that man - new once I shown a pic of it as a hot rod, Steve would get it straight away!
back soon with the pink one
-
OK he we go with a pink ball.
Well I never knew they sold them in the states, and I wonder how many they sold there or even how many are still there runnin
Read the advert - made me smile,
So 2 quesions (based on the advert shown)
1. - What was the price
2. - what was the claimed mpg.
-
Personnally I prefered the Classic Capri.
Anglia was £ 825.00.
Mileage was 32mpg with the 1200cc engine.
-

I think he is asking for the American price and mpg........
-
$1629 and 40 mpg
-
$1629 and 40 mpg
Steve - fuel - spot on ! 40 mpg ,
Cost - so close, guess again and take the price down a touch (say $29 for example)
Anybody know how many they sold in the States? (and NO , I do not know yet)
-
$1600 then.
How naughty of me, it's $1629 on this (similar) ad http://www.adclassix.com/images60anglia.jpg (http://www.adclassix.com/images60anglia.jpg)

How naughty of me, it's $1629 on this (similar) ad http://www.adclassix.com/images60anglia.jpg (http://www.adclassix.com/images60anglia.jpg)
the extra $29 must have been for the extra hire rate for that lion costume

oh yes - a racing Angle box, that must have scared the americans!
What year did it win Sebring ?

What year did it win Sebring ?
It hasn't?

-
I see it ran in the Sebring 4 hours. Is that for cars with headlights that don't work.
I'm sure my father paid £599 for one in 1960 - a 997cc base model, reg 599 TKM. A friend had one that had been in the Monte Carlo rally, with a 1500 GT motor
-
Strange but true.
The angle box was great, did you know that laying on the roof you could hold the edge of the car by the rain chanels above each door, while tucking your feet into the rear window for extra grip. Which made it harder to get you thrown off the car. -Things you do when your a kid - ::)
Now on to the red ball
What can you tell me about this, not sure if the interior cushion was design by Habitat or Ikea.
-
I'm going with Lincoln Continental - around 1976

Spot on Steve
And your chosen colour ?
-
Cheers Neil, lets have a nice green one.
-
I am wonderings whether the Green ball will be a 'C' or 'D' type from an interesting angle.
-
OK - as we have not had a green for a while, we have a choice of one of two.
So I have decided to go for strange one.
What can you tell me about this one, and don't jump, its not as easy as it seams...........
-
well it looks like a SCUD missile on its launching vehicle, in the fully erected position.
yes and no - thats what it looks like - but what is it?
-
The cab looks very Russian, but aren't the two guys at the back playing baseball? Must be a Yank - is it the Pershing
-
ok - we all know what it is supose to be,
but what is it really?
-
righto, the launcher vehicle looks like the genuine item, the launcher rails looks wrong to me as they usually have a ladder section. It looks like the picture was taken on an 'american' base in the states and they look like they are tethering the scud thing to the ground. so i'd say it is an inflatable decoy.
operationally, it would look like a genuine launcher until the IR glasses were used ;D ;D ;D ;D
IR glasses - as requested (http://www.aerostar.com/military/images/SCUD_Multispectral_Image.jpg)
-
as i said, its an inflatable decoy,
http://www.aerostar.com/military/military_decoys.htm
;D - Its just a big bouncy castle.. Can we get one for Le Mans, keep the french away! ;)
Well done that man,
-
OK - back on with the red ball
What can you tell me about this one?
-
i see you're favouring the pyromaniac again, three wheelers are preferential, i never thought i'd be saying that ;)
OK,
OK,
It just when I went down the the vaults in the cellar, it was dark, cold and a bit errie......
So I just open the first draw in the vault and found these pics.
OK
OK
I will try harder, but it a bit scarey down there! ;)

Aarh yes, the front view is a bit of a spoiler.
It is a mid 80's Ford Thunderbird - looks much better from the side (if you could say that about a Ford)!
-
Let's have a yellow for a change.
-
Well done Steve - good second guess.
Now on to the yellow,
first things first - this car is yellow, think my monitor is playing up again (handy) and if its not then it Dutch yellow ! ;D
So what can you tell me about this one
oh yea checked the rules - it is yellow!
-
That would be the Hulme CanAm, from NZ, with a Chevy V8.

Erm as in it is a Marcos XP Mantis?
I could add that the car in the picture has some front end damage where it hit a jackrabbit.
-
Marsh and Costin must of designed that when suffering a hangover.
-
Found some more info as well while we are waiting for the next red.
"The original Marcos Mantis was produced in 1968. Powered by a Formula 1 Repco Brabham engine, It was a one off car built for racing, and was not intended for production."

While i go down to the damp cellar, ohh my bones, did a toy car manufacture make a model of a Marcus XP and Mantis.
Another Marcos Mantis
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8e/1971_Marcos_Mantis.jpg/800px-1971_Marcos_Mantis.jpg)
The next question, back in a min.
-
That weird green Mantis - the original Marcos use of that name - was a very trendy car for slot-racing in that era. People like GT Models would produce acetate "blob" bodies for cars quite cheaply, and I certainly bought a Mantis, although whether it ever got a chassis and onto the track is another matter entirely. I think Model Cars magazine, then the slot-racers' monthly bible in the UK, ran a feature on the prototype, which will have helped. The slatted back end has a bit of Miura about it, perhaps.
-
OK - back with the red ball
Just remember that it may have driven over those speed bumps around here ::)

Oh god I remember it well. I think I met Gordon Tapsell of GT models, becuase he was only at Beckenham. I preferrred his M8A, Mustangs, Oldsmobiles and Dodges
Oh and the red car does look familiar, but can I remember, and it often depends on whose bodywork it is

As they made one XP, then this must be the green one we saw earlier
-
OK - back with the blue ball
What can you tell me about this one.
try and find a better pic, but it is blue.
-
Is it a Pace HCS Aero Snowmibile circa 1997?
or could it be a Tatra V 855 aero sledge?
-
mmm? Which are you going to choose, after seeing better pics
Saw it at retromobile a few years ago. (the blue one)
I think a HSE (Health & Safety Exc) man would have a field day on it now!

Yes
good guess, how did you work that out
Back min with a red, in the mean time having a red of my own.
Nice Spanish red - Castillo de Calatrava.
so I'm all right as long as I don't follow it with another colour!
-
Hic - had me wine - now back on the beer - French - guess which one?
So back with the red
What can u tell me about this one?
-
Nice Spanish red - Castillo de Calatrava.
Have you tried Argento (Argentinia) MALBEC?
Very nice for less than a fiver.

Not tried that one yet.
But my system of choosing wine
1, colour - is it red or red
2, Price, (is it on offer)
3, country - (my only attempt to be a wine buff ::))
5, how it looks - nice bottle
6, have I got the money in my pocket.
this one was done by No's - 2 & 3
But the main factor -2, PRICE - Sainsbury 1/2 price - so less than £5.

This ugly little little f**k*r has got me scratching my head, the red colour points to Italy, one of the many small cc cars that were made by Moretti or Giannini for example.
But there is something french about the styling (its Ugly)
and the grill looks like its from a Triumph.

oh I'm loving this one.
MMM - let me think of another hint - back soon
Ok another pic
-
OK another hint
Engine and chassis - Italian
But its the body that was special and the wheels.
Now it's more of the designer/driver, is where my next hint will with.
-
Another pic - do not look at the steering wheel - its not a Jag!
Looks like a hard one for everyone. >:(

Biondetti Ferrari engined special?
-
Biondetti Ferrari engined special?
Sorry no.
try again,
engine and chassis - Fiat

Last try,
Maybe a Stanguellini of some sorts
All this work for a measly 1 point!!!
I would think all the previous attempts should be judged a miss and the winner gets extra points.
Simon
-
I must have loked at every bloom'in italian sports car and cant find a match.
The clue about the body and wheels pointed in towards special metals, but agin I have drawn a blank.
The best match I can find is a Volpini Fiat.
-
Oh what fun this freaky-deeky small car is causing so much problems
OK - next hint.
You do not know the car, at the moment, you may be not sure of the driver/designer but you all know one of his designed/inventions and most hate it!
So does this help
OK - you only get 1 point, but its off the gauge for smugness! ;D
-
It's a :
Gatso Platje, 1949.
Fiat 1500 chassis (shortened), Fiat 1.5 litre six-cylinder in-line OHV engine, Dubonnet independent front suspension, finned alloy brake drums.
The car was nicknamed "Platje" = "Flatty".
Leading at the National Sportscar Races held at Zandvoort in 1950, a rear wheelrim centre gave away, putting the car and its driver/constructor out of the race. Flatty was equipped with ultra-lightweight wheels specially made in France, which aided the performance of the car whilst also providing better brake cooling. Unfortunately, the one on the left rear failed to stand up to the high cornering forces generated on the Zandvoort circuit.

This car has been at Le Mans, might be the classic ;)
-
Well, I was just going to have a stab at a Ligier, poss JS2, so has that been in the classic?
-
Ligier, poss JS2,
Good effort
But its a JS1
-
:( :P
Yep, I realise that now. Damn Ligier making the JS3 before the JS2, that's what got me. :-*
-
My memory's going, and I usually need a clue. Its so infuriating when you recognise the shape, but can't remember the name. I was even looking through the Tour Auto entry lists.
The JS stand for Jo Schlesser, and old friend of Liger who died in 68? at Rouen, when the magnesium air cooled Honda caught fire. Another reason to dislike Rouen.
The circuit was a road circuit, half way between the cow roundabout and the start of the N138. Just some nice roads in the countryside. The pits and grandstand were knocked down a few years ago
-
Correct - Ligier JS1
not sure who by, but who ever got it right what colour next?
Good old Wiki
Guy Ligier (born 12 July 1930) is a French former rugby player and racing driver.
He first made his name as a rugby player in the late 1940s when he was working as a butcher's assistant in his home town of Vichy. An orphan, he was determined to build up a successful business and saved all his money in order to buy a bulldozer and then went into the construction business. When his rugby career ended - after he had played for the French national team - he began racing motorcycles before trying his hand at single-seater racing with a Formula Junior Elva.
With motorway construction booming in France, Ligier was able to build a large construction empire and during the period made important friends in local politicians François Mitterrand and Pierre Bérégovoy.
In the late 1960s Guy started racing Porsche sportscars and even raced in F1 with privately-entered Cooper-Maserati and Brabham-Repco machinery. Neither was very successful and so in 1968 Ligier decided to form a partnership with Jo Schlesser and the two bought a pair of McLaren Formula 2 cars. Schlesser was killed that year on his F1 debut at the French Grand Prix, at the wheel of the curious air-cooled Honda F1 car, and Ligier decided he had had enough and retired. He decided that he would build racing cars instead and hired Michel Tetu to design the Ligier JS1, a production sportscar (the initials JS were a tribute to Jo Schlesser). The company was built up in sportscar racing but at the end of 1974 Ligier bought the assets of Matra Sports and embarked on a Formula 1 team. This began racing in 1976 with Jacques Laffite driving. The team became highly-successful in the early 1980s with Laffite, Patrick Depailler and Didier Pironi driving. In 1981 Ligier's old friend François Mitterrand became President of France and when Ligier ran into trouble in 1983 the President ordered that government-owned companies such as Elf, Gitanes and Loto should supply sponsorship.
Ligier also had preferential treatment when it came to engines, political pressure being applied to Renault to force the company to supply the team, which used Renault engines between 1984-86 and in 1992-94.
The Ligier-Mitterrand-Bérégovoy alliance reached its peak in the early 1990s with the reconstruction of the Magny-Cours racing circuit as a new headquarters for Ligier and as a racing circuit to host the French Grand Prix. President Mitterrand and Prime Minister Bérégovoy backed the idea.
In 1992 Ligier realized that the socialist government would not last forever and sold his team to Cyril de Rouvre. He used the money he gained to corner the market in natural fertilizer in central France and set about building another fortune. Within a few months Mitterrand's socialist party was annihilated in the elections and Bérégovoy committed suicide.
Ligier also built a successful business building Ligier micro-cars. The Ligier team eventually came into the ownership of former driver Alain Prost and was renamed Prost Grand Prix.

My post from last night seems to have gone lost.
Its not HD, or JAP, (or Indian?) because its overhead valve, and its older than it looks - about 1918 would be my guess, n.b. military colours. Doesn't look like a Brough, and something in the back of my mind says bicycle, so is it a Rudge or a Raleigh?

Correct - Spot on, - well done that man, and the pope on a sunday - without a silly hat!
Pope Manufacturing Company is a manufacturing company started by Albert Augustus Pope in Hartford, CT. The company began with the introduction of the "Columbia" High Wheeler in 1878. Pope bought Pierre Lallement's original patent for the bicycle, and aggressively bought all other bicycle patents he could find, amassing a fortune by restricting the types of bicycles other American manufacturers could make and charging them royalties. He used the latest technologies in his bicycles -- inventions such as ball bearings in all moving parts, and hollow steel tubes for the frame, and he spent a great deal of money promoting bicycle clubs, journals, and races. Until 1896, Pope was the leading US producer of bicycles.
Pope Manufacturing was an innovator in the use of stamping for the production of metal parts.
Hiram Percy Maxim was head engineer of the Motor Vehicle Department.
1914 Pope motorcycleIn 1897, Pope Manufacturing began production of an electric vehicle. By 1899, the company had produced over 500 vehicles. The Electric Vehicle division was spun off that year as the independent company Columbia Automobile Company but it was acquired by the Electric Vehicle Company by the end of the year.
Pope tried to re-enter the automobile manufacturing market in 1901 by acquiring a number of small firms, but the process was expensive and competition in the industry was heating up.
Pope declared bankruptcy in 1907 and abandoned the automobile industry in 1915.

Is it a Talbot Lago T150 Teardrop
Well pocketed - correct
(http://images.businessweek.com/ss/06/01/hottest_vintage/image/talbot_lago_t150css.jpg)
Must be one of the sexiest Talbot's I seen of a while - better than those 70/80's crap that wore the Talbot name badge.
and your next colour?
-
Black balls please
Sorry for the use of the alias, but I#m off sick using SWMBO's laptop
-
Sorry been busy, work and catching up on invoices - no rest
So back with the next black ball -
What can you tell me about this smart one?
-
That is not easy, the angle is wrong to get a true perspective.
It has an Italian look but something British
Could it be a reworked Triumph Herald? or maybe a Dolly Sprint?

why hope its not? ::)
-
That can't be eastern european, unless Volga made a soft top.
It looks more like a Fiat Dino, but the coupe was more slippery.
It could be a Skoda Felicia, but its too smart, and the bonnets wrong.
Its not a yank is it?
-
Not its a Toyota Corona

not to my records, not a dreaded Lada - think of another one, was told years ago was banned from the Earls Court motor show.
-
It doesn't look like a Trabant, its too big, its too small for a Zil, not 4x4 so its can't be a Gaz or a Niva, not an old Fiat 12X, so it must be a Moskvitch
No way, it must be a Toyota, its shiny

It's up to you lot how you split the points, I'm neutral (but beers can sway me a bit) ;D
What can you tell me about this one?
-
looks a bit like a NSU type vehicle
Good to see your back F.S.,
but sorry no, try again
-
Looks like being 'air cooled' as no grill. Not sure whether Europe and the Soviat block were building that stuff, not doubt I'd be wrong. But it looks east european.
Not a Corvair from the US of A but could be a derivitive.

Your right!
Its not something silly like a DKW ;D
In the right area,
Rear engine, small cc, top speed just over 80 + 35ish mpg. They made coupe, saloon or very rare cabriolet.
So who's is it & what model?
-
It's a Daf 44.
-
Its more like a VW1500
-
OK - This is fun, for me at least ;)
Its not a VW and not a Daf.
This is a well known car company, I think most people have heard of them ::)
-
The 2 that spring to mind are DKW or Wartburg.
Close with either?

come on gang - another pic - this time a very rare convertible
Looking at it, the rear light look light the one on an Austin Cambridge - but its not an English

Austin Cambridge lights - is it a London Taxi, a kit car or an Innocenti?

Autobianchi

Neil, you said 'Styling House'.
Alpina?
-
Neil, you said 'Styling House'.
Alpina?
OK - Styling house - like Ghia and Pininfarina, they are well know italian style/design houses for car manufactures.
This car was design by an italian studio, but is was not made by the italians, another country - which you have got the right country but the wrong manufacture.
They do have a race history and are well know - apart from telling you about their logo, I can't tell you any more.
Come on gang, your flying so close!!!!
Oh yea, they have a bit of race history - Le Mans, Nürburgring, Spa, like I said a bit of a history
-
Michelotti?
He designed my car and the original version of it won it's class at LM, but my car is British.
-
Michelotti
Correct - Styling was by Giovanni Michelotti
but who's car and model?

A BMW 700. Also available as a sport and convertible.

Good guess on the car, but sorry - NO.

I think I can answer that myself, Its not a bitter because its a Monteverdi Palm beach, 1974 ish vintage
-
ok - as you answered your self - on to the red
What can you tell me about this one,

Looks like a british special based on a trimph or MG.

The red ball.
A road racer, German Reg', Italian red, so how about French!
A lot of road race cars in that era were RHD.
But that grill, me thinks it's German - Maybach.

Has a French style to it, but that grill still says German.
So, with my first thoughts I now go French.
Panhard?
Maybe the Dyna.
-
OK two guesses down so going back to original thoughts, the red is definately Italian.
Don't think it is a major manufacturer but a design house jobbie. Only car that immediately comes to mind would be the Abarth.
Although, if main manufacturer, it could be Lancia. I'm guessing here.....Tipo, but that is far as I can find out.
Wiki was useless, Google not much better.
-
Odd one this. It could even be a Ferrari. The grill does look a bit like a later Lancia or a Routemaster bus, but the MGA styling and steel wheels suggest its too agricultural to be Italian. If its not british it could be yank, but Briggs Cunningham was doing something different
-
OK - we are going with Italian and it might begin with "L" ::)
So whats the mdoel - love the grill, looks like it as be knicked of an old london bus!

The funny bit is that was the comments made by people of one of the web site I found.
from the late Fifties and early Sixties. And apparently, the XXXX had easy access to LSD, because these were not the creations of people with a brain in a nominal operating condition.

Back soon with the yellow, have to change pc. Have to use the old steam powered one, so it needs more coal, which means another trip to the cellar, boy am I being kept fit! ;)
-
OK Nice simple yellow one,
Whats the car and where is it going?
oh yea, extra snug point - who owns it?
-
The car is a 1978 Morris Mini 1000, and it's going to Invercargill. It was owned by AVIS.
The man on the roof is Jerry Austin (Aka The Great Bambini).
What a top film. I must get it out for another viewing soon. ;D

Just to drag this thread back on topic for a moment, on BBC 4 in 20 mins there's The Car Show, focussing on cars on TV over the years. I hope there's some Commers in it.
-
OK back to the red ball - what can you tell me about this one,
Damded if I know what the Red car is, but the Silver one is a Marcos, the Yellow looks like an Elva and the Black is a Ginetta.
Don't suppose there are any consulation points flying around?
-
OK - been away working, something that I find hard at times, :)
Well its red so it Italian, (on this occasion)
so next guess please.
-
Any clues?
-
Well, I was running down the Maserati line, as I thought the nose was familiar, when I discovered the offshoot company Officine Specializzate Costruzioni Automobili. This was formed when Ernesto and his two brothers Ettore, and Bindo Maserati left Maserati after their contract expired following their sale of shares in Maserati.
The pictured car is, I hope, a 1947 O.S.C.A. MT4 and it won the Napoli GP.
Phew, that took long enough to find...
If correct can we have a black please.
-
Any clues?
It's red.
They have race at le mans and the MM.
Oh yea, the silver car in the background is not a Marcos.

Old type BRG.
Aero V12 Engine of about 16 to 21ltrs.
Chain drive,
Front is missing grill I think as it has a 'cowcatcher' and the shape aerodynamic somewhat so is intended for speed records methinks, also the covered spoked wheels.
I'd say British, so here goes:-
Lanchester or Lagonda but not Bentley, but could be Nash or even Railton. No googling yet.

Neil, that's 'Brutus'. Has a 44 litre BMW aero engine. It's not as old as it looks, being a 'recreation', built in Germany, with the old engine installed.

the funny bit, the ones I think will stump you lot you get easy. The ones that I think yea simple and a doddle are hard.
So I think that sums up life ;D
So back with the pink sorry Red, It's from europe, made by a car manufacture known in the 60's + 70's. In fact they started in the 30's. Know for other cars in their range more than this one. (not english)
This car had a 1200cc engine as could do over 100mph in the late 1960's
They even made a toy car of it -

It's a Simca coupe. I think.

Oooo, I thought an in-off was a Russian car ;) ::)
-
Cue ball - or off-white is great
As it means I can use the B & W ones and strange ones
As for points, as normal we make it up as we go along , as they do it Russia.
So what can you tell me about this one.
-
Cue ball - or off-white is great
As it means I can use the B & W ones and strange ones
I thought you might appreciate the chance to use a few different photos.

No! ................. his mum could have tied it for him before he went to work :)
And back to the motor, it's red, same country where nice red wines come from (imho)
-
Well Niel, unless you 'photoshopped' it, it is RHD, so I'd say Japanese 1950-1960ish.
Therefore my guess would be Toyota or Mitsubishu.

mmm, never noticed the driver posistion
But it is from a europe.
oh yea, believe it or not, have a racing history.

Could it be Spanish or Portugese wine you like?
Pegaso? by some chance, small LM link as they did make sports cars
Failing that somewhere like Romania / Hungary which do fine full bodied Red wines but not trucks and cars that I know of.

Sorry been busy, working - thats something I try not to do to often ;)
Check with my files in the cellar vault, and Franco did not have any hand in it, sorry.
It was helped by a main manufacture, only 30 were made, so very rare.
Try again
Oh yea - don't forget it has been over those big and unloving speed bumps up here - ;)

another pic of this motor

It looks like a copy of the Merc C111, so its an Isdera Imperator from the mid 1980s. Despite the name, I thinks its German
I love the periscope rear view mirror, a bit like the "Retrovisor" from the 1960/70s, used when towing a caravan or course.
Black ball please

That man is correct, it was developed from this, when Merc did not want to go into production. So it came out as a Isdera Imperator.
this is the Merc version - (http://www.mcarsweb.com/mercedes/c111b.jpg)

So just for that you get 5 x extra Ahh Mr Bond points
That all also helps me as I could not find a black car in the black dark cellar, must get a brighter light bulb.

Do you mind, I was playing to Kent rules. You always have a Black after the third blue ball (second pink, forth brown etc)
And I can't find a picture of a retrovisor anywhere
Didn't one of the le Mans Porsches from the late 60s have a periscope? (907/8/10) I recall a lot of white louvres instead of a window and a lump on the roof

Phil
Well done Phil, yes American.
The car was designed by an American inventor & entrepreneur. Was into broadcasting, and made automobiles named after him. Was owner of a major baseball team, even had the stadium named for him, until mid-season 1970. When they moved stadium.
He sold about 75,000 cars before closing down in the early 50's. Unusal for them, after the war, they made a small, light in weight, and low-priced. It sold for $850 and got between 30 and 45 mpg. Unfortunately, good gas mileage ceased to be an inducement after gas rationing ended.
He had a hand in radios manufacturing and even fridges!!!
more to follow if these hints are of know use. (maybe ;) )
-
It's a 1947 Crosley-cv.

Don't forget to mention that Willys won the contract to the military GP vehicle commonly known as the Jeep. An icon of all war films.

OK, it's a Foam Cannon.
It looks like a Scania but they have brakes. This one seems to need assistance by virtue of wheel blocks!
So would say a east europe/russia or far eastern asia or pasific isles.

Ok - bit of a hint, the truck is western european, they know longer exist as a direct truck manufacture, but were swallowed up another truck manufacture and then another, and now are part of one of the biggest truck manufactures (iv u can work that out)
the blocks under the wheels, normally were designed to stop the truck rolling away and in this case into an aeroplane, as they usaullly sat around for a while and were not moved much. (have you ever seen someone trying to drive away a truck that has been chocked - funny) Hence most airfield vehicles had low mileage, but that that does not mean they were looked after any better, when I use to work at Heathrow, even I was surprised how much damaged and abuse airport vehicles got.
Alos the logo on the front grill is a small hint Monsieur

OK - another hint is French,
-
simca of some sort
ohhhhhh so close -before they were taken over - think U? ;)

As much as I'd like it to be a Dodge, it must be a Unic

So whats the final choice and your next colour please.?
-
White please! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
No.,,,it cannot be a 1946 Ford can it ?
What a shot...snookered by all the balls, played off 8 cushions and knocked the red in off the black pink and blue balls !!!!
That leaves a very easy (HINT) black ball to knock in on the next shot!
-
Wow what great shots and great guess - you lot surprise me so much and thats with out a beer. ;D
So with my eye back on the ball, what can you tell me about this one - choose which colour it is, because today I do not care - NAA NAA ;)
So who makes this car and what else can you tell me about it?

Neil,
Lovely 'yellow' car there, but the 'difficulty' value must be purple - thats 14 points or as in billiards, a cannon.

It's a Locus Plethore
The nicknamed « the Quebec bomb », a high performance “supercar” with an exotic design,
This luxury high performance car, completely manufactured in Quebec by HTT Locus Technologies,
The PLETHORE has been imagined and designed by Mr Luc Chartrand, an electronic and composite material specialist, who has combined all his personal skills and abilities in order to create his “dream car” !!!
The PLETHORE’s body and frame are entirely composed of carbon fiber, the very same material used in F-1 cars for its lightness and solidity. With its high-tech interior design, room for three people and a central driving position, the PLETHORE should amaze and attract many car lovers.
“Not only does it offer incredible visibility from the central driver position, the car also provides room for as many as three people up to 6’6” in height… a first for this class of vehicle”, comments an impassioned Mr. Chartrand.
Powered by a 750 horsepower engine (standard) or an optional engine of 1,300 horsepower capable of exceeding 330 KPH, and with an overall weight of 1,100 kg, the Pléthore is an extremely powerful vehicle as demonstrated by its amazing weight to power ratio.
HTT Locus Technologies plans to limit at 400 the numbers of PLETHORE manufactured annually. The car’s retail price is $330,000 CDN and its exotic design is simply breathtaking!
Is that the sort of answer you wanted?
How many beers do I get?

But you can bring Cidre as long as you don't want me to drink the stuff. :-)

Hi Tom Neil & Doris,
I was thinking of the Super U like last year. I am buying the Beer for the three of you the ommelette s your on your own
I go local with Croisant & Pain Chocolot. Not sure they have Cidre but it is a fine option for breakfast.
Neil if you can lay on the cooking facilities we can do it on site with a grocery run ahead of time.
I love t when a plan starts to form.

No problems phil, I remember last year bumping nto you last year at the Super U, caught you looking at fridges, and thought - how are you going to get one of those back in your luggage ;D
Then the going in for breakfast and beer in the cafe there. Which was actually very good -as all cooked fresh in front of you.
Plan for one of the breakfast - bacon butties - with nice hand cut bacon from my butcher up here (he hates me at theat time of year, as he has to cut so much by hand !) Just got to find a f**k*ng big grill, as when I cooked at Silverstone a few years ago - my bbq took ages - started at breakfast time finished by lunch time ! - It was so bad the dutch had to swithc to beers at one stage, to hold them till the food was ready - life is so hard ;)

The eggs took a while too!

Come on you lot of silly Kiełbasa, ::)
-
Not found the answer yet, but my research has come up with this gem. ;D
-
:o
Aha, it is an FSO Syrena from Poland.
And there in lies the problem :( Every time I put into Google "Polish Cars" I got back pictures of scantily clad ladies using soft cloths to make exotic sports cars gleam in the sun. :o It was 'orrible, honest :P

Surely after a white, the next ball should be a red. :angel:
-
;D
Surely after a white, the next ball should be a red. :angel:
Don't you hate it when other people are more right than you ;)
Oh back shortly witha red, wheres that photochop program, change that good black to red :)
-
OK - point for the manufacturer of the car,
but serious smug points fro what is going on and who is associated with its design? (not the car - but whats on top of it)
-
Well, it is either some sort of attempt at a Sonic Shower for Le Mans, or an "Electrocute the theiving buggers" type of South African car alarm 8)
But I will see what I can find.
-
Is it one of Kev's mates?
-
:'( Right, I don't know what the car is, but some serious guesses at the device.
Either some attempt at "Anti-Gravity" to try and build a flying car.
or
An attempt at building a "Testatika" in order to try and drive the car using free electromagnetic energy from the atmosphere.
-

Oh bugger, I was closer than I realised with my joke :-[
It is a Tessla coil, attached to the roof to act as an anti theft device. He called it "The Eye of Sauron"
And the car is a hire car, but I still don't know what it is :P
The guys site is here.. http://tesladownunder.com/tesla_coil_sparks.htm

;D :D ;D
Yay,
It's a Hyundia Getz.
Now you can post your black ball please >:D
-
Correct car for 1 point
and correct about Mr Tesla - worth reading about him, his inventions and what he as been credit with after his death.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nRqbQr7VGk&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftesladownunder.com%2Ftesla_coil_sparks.htm&feature=player_embedded
Best one was the box under the the table in his hotel room, Hotel New Yorker, room 3327 - where he said he had a tool to destroy the world. A lot of his stuff wnet missing after his death and things where never found.
Reminds me af the Ark crate in the first Indiana Jones film. (http://newcountry973.com/images/rotla.jpg) -"We have our top men working on it - Mr Jones"
Oh I like to dream ;D
So back shortly with the black ball.
-
OK - on to a black ball - and as we are playing for 7
pints points, whoops :-X
What can you tell me about this one,
And I know what the first guess will be - I think

Your first guess will be a Bugati Atlantique

Well you beat me, would never had guessed that guess. :)

and back to that smart car, what is it ?
-
OK here's another pic of this motor,
-
:-\ :'( :-\
Crikey, that took some digging, but I think it is a 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Aerodynamic Coupe with coachwork by Jonckheere.
Originally delivered to its owner wearing a more humble Hooper Cabriolet body in 1925, it was sold to the Raja of Nanpara soon after. It changed hands again but stayed in England until 1934, when another owner sent it to Belgium to be re-bodied by Carrossier Jonckheere. It is often called the "Round Door" Rolls.

OK - on to the next ball
What can you tell me about this sexy one :)
-
1935 Monaco-Trossi GP car.
It never raced but would have made a heck of a noise if it ever did.
The handling was a bit suspect due to the poor weight distribution, but it was clocked at 150mph at Monza

What can you tell me about this one,

It is a 1959 Simca Special, designed by Virgil Exner Jr.
It was created as his dream car for his master-thesis at the University of Notre Dame. It is based on a 1950 Fiat Chasis, with some mechanical parts from Simca. The glassfibre body was moulded by Exner himself, at the Dual-Ghia assembly plant.
Later, the car was sold to a Chrysler dealer, and in 1965, the car was bought by Beau Hickory.
Under his hands, the car was converted from a show-car to a daily driver,
adding the panoramic windscreen (coming from an Opel), and the T-Bar-roof. Years later, the car was sold to a friend of Beau Hickory,
he did some additional work on the car, for example, the engine was replaced by a Datsun one.

Nick named - The Rambo Lambo - I have only ever seen 2 of these motors, both in Windsor years ago, on in a showroom window & the other in the car park in Windsor, boy did it look big, huge tyres - which were made on special order apparently.
Well done - what is your next colour?

BWM 328 Special
The Rosenheim manufacturer Hans Klepper ordered delivery of a chassis from the Munich BMW dealer Automag on 1st June 1937 and commissioned the coachbuilder Wendler in Reutlingen to build a special body with a streamline shape.
The technical design was created by the German streamline pioneer Baron Reinhard Koenig-Fachsen. He designed the coupe based on the principles developed by Paul Jaray. Helmut Schwandner, Wendler’s in-house designer, looked after the implementation of the design and created the “cheese-grater”‘ grille characteristic of Wendler.

What can you tell me about this one,

Thanks to wikipedia :)
The Daihatsu Bee is a three wheeled microcar that was produced by Daihatsu Kogyo Co Ltd from 1958.
Although Daihatsu had been producing motorized tricycles for carrying freight since 1930, and had produced a small car for military use in 1937, the Bee was the first passenger car the company had built for sale to the general public. The car was marketed from October 1951, shortly before the company changed its name from Hatsudoki Seizo Co to Daihatsu.
Photographs show the car with a two door fibreglass body, though other sources state that it had a four door body and was popular as a taxi. Power was provided by a rear mounted 540 cc OHV air-cooled two-cylinder four stroke engine.[1] The car was adapted from one of Daihatsu's three wheeled delivery trucks. It was released for sale in 1958, and sold very few units - Really ?? ???
Hmm OK, time for a yellow methinks.

The blue car is a S3A-M. This was produced between 1958 and 1970. It was powered by a 346 cc single cylinder two stroke engine giving 10 hp and a top speed of 34 mph.

How about a Timoney Fire Tender. ????

Tricky!!!!
I think it's a custom one built on a AWD military chassis, ordered by the city of Duisburg in Germany.
They seem to like exteme fire engines there.
Built possibly by MAN?

mmmmm, well its not AWD, but the chassis manufacture does have military skills and also makes crane chassis.
Have been in business for over 150 years and made one of the first horse drawn fire engines.
Oh yea, also now a japanese manufacture, so haves both names on their cranes.
So who is it?
-
Must be a Faun then, says Barry hopefully.

I don't think we have had a black for a little while.
OK - Black it is, back shortly.
I mean have you ever looked for a black car in and dark black cellar, with those big black spiders around ;), back shortly
-
Crumbs............. it was dark down there.
So now I'm back now, what can you tell me about this one.
-
Rosengart Supertraction ?
-
Didn't look at the radiator mascott, could be better a Renault Supra/Vivastella
-
Bloody hell - I thought I would get more than a few mins before you lot got his one. >:(
It is a Renault Suprastella 1939 era.
Back shortly with the red.
-
Thought I might have a bash at one for a change, hope you don't mind neil :)
OK, here comes my red. Anyone name this one.
-
homemade car ? :P
left and right mirors aren't the same model
-
left and right mirors aren't the same model
:( I think that is a trick of the lighting. Close inspection does show them to be the same I think.
However, it has perhaps thrown you on the right track, this car was available to complete at home.
-
Ok I think the car is a Blakely Bernardi -
The Blakely Bernardi is an automobile produced in the 1980s by Blakely Auto Works (also called Bernardi Auto Works in some references) of Princeton, Wisconsin, USA. Blakely produced a number of automobile models, including the Bearcat and Bantam. The Bernardi was available as a completed car or as a kit of parts to be assembled by the buyer.

OK - that was fun, and I am going for a black ball
What can you tell me about this one.
The one in the foreground.
-
A folding car...
... a Brompton ?
-
It can't be a car, it's only got TWO wheels with some little stabalisers.
Is it the same firm that makes that 2 wheeled stand up scooter we keep seeing?
I thinks it's a yank built thingy
-
Its design to do 35 mph ! - if your brave enough.
Come on we are playing for 7 points,
Hang-on, even I've got 1 point. This is getting as bad as the Eurovision Song Contest. ;D
Yank built? What gave it away???
-
:o :(
Take a near-bankrupt automobile manufacturer and a company that makes personal transportation vehicles used mostly by colleges and you’d think you’d have a disaster on your hands, correct?
Apparently, such is not the opinion of General Motors and Segway. The two companies are teaming up to create the PUMA, or Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility Project. The vehicle, shown above, will feature a 35 MPH top speed and will get a measly 35 mile charge on its lithium battery pack.
Edit.. some vid footage here > click here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ongSDxaOrv8&feature=related)
Strange, but I think I can see a military version of this sometime.

Wow - well done, all those points your getting.
That was good info, as I only saw it in the press on the 16th may, so you are sharp!
back soon with a red.
Cheers

OK All, Neil is going to be busy for the next week, so he will be unable to get down to his cellar too often. He has asked me if I might be able to scrabble around in my attic and take over for a few days. Doubt I can keep up the same usual standard, but I am willing to have a go.
So, for the next red, what can you guys tell me about this baby?
-
:(
May have to give you some hints then.
This company was started in the 50's with the first customer cars coming in 1957. The creator of this marque, was a fighter pilot during the Korean War who went on to earn a degree in aircraft engineering at University of California at Los Angeles. He was competition focused and won 27 first place trophies with this model.

It doesn't look RED,
-
I think it is a Kellison, Maybe a J-6 based on a Corvette floor and engine
If correct lets go for a blue ball
-
They fade in the US sun.
I thought it might be a Bader, but thats the wrong war. How about a Kellison j4. Corvette motor but quite a few European bits on it
-
Indeed, it is a Kellison. A J4-R to be exact, so share the point there lads.
The Kellison car company was founded in the 1950s by Jim Kellison. He spent over two years of designing and testing before the first kellison was offered to the public in 1957. These orginal early kellison bodies were very flimsy so in the following year of1958 more refinements were made to the cars. Kellison added inner fender panels firewalls dashboards assembled doors and other small improvements in order to make the final product easier to build and enjoy. These early bodies where constructed using a chopper gun technique. This technique let the user work quickly while a strict quality control was inforced. One of the first cars offered by Kellison was the J-4. It is a low slung two seat sports car. Avaliable as either a sport coupe or roadster. With a roof hight of only 39" it was a awesome sight in the late 1950s. These early cars came with a Chuck Manning designed box tube frame. It employed beam axles at both ends. A later updated X frame used corvette suspention at both ends was developed by the kellison company. You could purchase a original J-4 for only $640.00.
So, a request for a blue. This may be pushing it a bit, but what can you tell me about this?
-
Good job Mr I, think you may get a full time job in July. :)
This is fun, I can sit on the side line and throw comments into the room.
Very sneaky that blue car, I know what it is under it???? ;)
-
It was designed and manufactured for Universal Pictures by concept car maker Trans FX. A movie mock up or something. Apparently designed to fit on to a Poitiac Fiero chassis.
-
Indeed, it is the Blue Djinn, originally created for the movie Fastlane, which never aired.
The car was built by TransFX, one of the most prolific and sought after Specialty Car Companies in Hollywood. TransFX has built Batmobiles, BatBikes, and even the BatWing for some of the "Batman" movies. They built the "Cricket" for A.I., and who knows how many others...
A company called DjinnEV.com is now intending to produce and market 50 of the beasties.

Right, time to see how quick you guys can get this one ;D
-
What happened to the other one, just rushed down to the cellar and back, then and found it had gone!
As for this one, well................................................................................ know what it is, but do others?
Expect Steve B to be straight in with it.

:( Sorry, took it off pretty quick as once posted I think the picture was the incorrect one for the music link. So to be safe I went with the revision.
Corvette?
:)
Looking for just a bit more info than that please.
-
1958 Corvette?
-
1958 Corvette?
:-\ :-\
Tough one this, as I guess the major giveaways are not visible on this picture, but I meant to be a strict as Neil >:D
Not a 58. Pic of the rear may help.
-
1954
-
;)
Nope, not a 54.
-
a '59 then?
-
;D :-*
Indeed, it is a '59 vette.
The cropped lights come from the pic below, which links to the full size image, which is way too big to post here.
I love the way the car is polished and gleaming, but someone could not be bothered with the numberplate which seems to be rusting :P
(http://www.eachitandi.com/CA/59_Corvette_thb.jpg) (http://www.eachitandi.com/CA/59_Corvette.jpg)
OK, what colour next please?
Edit. Just to clear up something. The '58 had bonnet louvres, which were removed for the '59, and a slightly different rear end.
-
I think a brown one please ???
-
Sorry for the delay, my head hurts and I have a burning in an area Big H would be interested in investigating :o Damn Indian dinners after an all afternoon pub session ???
Anyway, a Brown was requested, so a Brown I have found.
Info on this one please.
-
another Chrysler Airflow ?
-
another Chrysler Airflow ?
:o :(
Oh Poo Bars, I totally missed the previous one. At least mine is a proper photo though >:D
Strictly speaking, it is a DeSoto Airflow. DeSoto being a division of Chrysler as Mr Brown has previously pointed out. From the front bumper back, the Airflow's design represented the first major attempt to smooth away the wind catching objects and channels found on cars of the era. Headlights were moved from their traditional pods forward of the radiator, and housed in flush mountings on either side of the broad waterfall-styled grille, which lacked the traditional upright radiator throat and decorative cap ornament. In place of the flat windshield that most cars had (and which caught the brunt of on coming winds as cars moved through the atmosphere), the Airflow split the windshield into two panes of glass, each angled to better redirect the air around them. Front and rear fenders received smoother, more form fitting curves. In the rear, Airflows encased the rear wheels through the use of fender skirts.
In addition to the benefits of its smoother exterior design, which translated into a quieter passenger compartment than on previous DeSoto models, the car featured wider front seats and deeper back seats with more leg room. Because of the car's unibody construction, passengers rode within the frame of the car, not on top of the car as they did with other American makes. It also boasted a stiffer body and better weight distribution through the engine placement over the front wheels, in contrast to the common practice of placing the center of the engine's gravity just behind the front wheels.
OK, back soon with a Red.
-
OK, back with something a bit more up to date.
What can you clever guys tell me about this baby?
-
US car ?
-
Yes, US car.
-
Pontiac...
... looks like a modern sequel of the Fiero :-\
-
;D
Nope, not a Pontiac.
-
Chevy ?
-
No, nor a Chevy.
As a hint, the company is based in Texas, and this car has the potential to be something very special.

Ronn Motors Scorpion
The sports car does not follow the current hybrid/electric trend, but will use hydrogen as a fuel source. According to its manufacturer, the Scorpion is powered by a gasoline/hydrogen fuel blend, with 30-40% of the mix consisting of hydrogen. What makes this car especially interesting is the fact that you don’t need to find hydrogen on the side of the road, water is enough.
Ronn Motors said that the Scorpion can produce hydrogen on demand by fracturing water molecules drawn from a small on board water tank. As a result, the car will not need a high pressure, on board hydrogen storage tank. The manufacturer promises that the car will hit about 40 mpg.
The engine used in the Scorpion is based on the unit used by Acura in its 2008 Acura TL-S sedan, rated at 289 hp in the Scorpion. Ronn Motors will offer a twin-turbo option of the powerplant offering about 450 hp. The car will be initially available with a 6-speed manual, with a 6-speed automatic following in 2009, the company said.
Since it is described as an exotic sports car, yes it has a limited production run (no numbers mentioned yet) and it comes with a hefty price tag: $150,000.
-
;D :D
For a late starter Dave_Newcastle is coming on strong. Correct, just about all that needs to be said, other than the Ronn Motors site is starting a build of 200 cars starting this year.
Lets hope that developments like this will still allow us to have fast exotic cars well into the future >:D
OK, your choice of colour for the next ball please.
-
Can we have a black one please?
-
:P
OK, you guys have been getting some of these pretty quick, so as a Black is worth 7 points and we have not had one of these for a while, who can tell me about this one? I know there is some red, but it's mainly Black >:D
-
Terrot ?
-
::)
Non messieur.
-
French Manufacturer ?

:laugh:
Yes French.

;D ;)
Woo hoo, I may have found one, I hope my info is correct.
Sorry gents, none of the above.
What I will say, is that it is French and the name still exists today :-*
-
So it should be nothing else than Peugeot
-
Do you want the spec, taken from the same place as the photo!
1939 Peugeot P53
100cc with 3-speed hand-change gearbox.
In order to encourage people to buy motorcycles in the thirties, the French government allowed pedal-assisted motorcycles under 50cc to be exempt from registration and the need for a driving license.
Peugeot made this 100cc model with fixed foot-pegs that look like pedals so that people could break the law and ride it without a license or reg!
Mr Invisible, you have been GOOGLED >:D
-
Mr Invisible, you have been GOOGLED >:D
::) ::) 8)
How else do you think I get them :P
Yep totally correct, Peugeot P53, complete with info relating to the pedals. Although Gilles did beat you to the make, I will let you fight it out for the points >:D
Back with a Red soon.
-
Right, given the season, I have something topical.
I hope you get this pretty quick, but I do want more than just "car" etc. >:D

road-car Porsche 962 ?
Almost there Gilles, but can I have just a little more info please. The builders at least. Thank you.

Dauer 962
-
Indeed, a Dauer 962 ;D
(http://www.carsplusplus.com/pictures/1994/67087/photo.jpg)
Info from Wikipedia states..
The Dauer 962 Le Mans is a sports car based on the Porsche 962 racing car. Built by German Jochen Dauer's Dauer Racing, a racing version of this car went on to win the 1994 24 Hours of Le Mans with the support of Porsche through the use of regulation loopholes.
Dauer Racing (now Dauer Sportwagen) produces the 962 Le Mans from actual Porsche 962 chassis which are stripped down for modification. Components of the bodywork are replaced with slightly revised carbon fibre and kevlar panels. The under tray is replaced with a flat version for better stability at high speeds. The interior sees the addition of a second seat and leather is added to the cramped cockpit, as well as a video screen for DVD playback in later years. Luggage was offered to customers through the addition of a small compartment in the front of the car. A hydraulic suspension system has also been added in order to meet German ride height requirements.
(http://www.autozine.org/Classiccar/Car_Photo/Dauer/962LM_in.jpg)
For a powerplant, the 962 Le Mans would use nearly the same engine as the original 962: Porsche's water-cooled Type-935 2994 cc Flat-6 with two Kühnle, Kopp und Kausch AG turbochargers. Since the road car did not have to meet racing regulations, the air restrictor was removed allowing for an output of approximately 730 hp (544 kW). A 5-speed racing gearbox was also retained.
The first production car debuted at the 1993 Frankfurt Auto Show. While orders for the cars were taken, Dauer worked with Porsche to develop the two racing cars for the following years' 24 Hours of Le Mans. After Dauer's victory, attention returned to the road cars where at least twelve more were built over the years.
(http://www.autozine.org/Classiccar/Car_Photo/Dauer/962LM_big.jpg)
OK, now for a colour please, either Gilles or Nordic, whomever is first.
-
Pink please
-
:o :-X :-\
Why is it I have a funny feeling someone is going to get this really quick :-X
-
I have no idea what it is, never seen one like it.
I will ask the wife if she knows.
-
Could be worse !
-
;D :D
Love that grill badge ::)
-
Could it be a Mitsubishi ?
-
" Accordingly to information from autoblog.com, this car was a one-off special at the Mitsukoshi department store in Tokyo’s Nihonbashi district during July 25th - 31st 2006. As there is only ONE car, all the interested buyers will have to register and one lucky buyer will get to buy the car for ¥2,100,000 (About US$18,200) — 200,000 of which goes to Japan’s UNICEF. "
-
Yay, well done Gilles. Hmm, how come you got that one so quick ::)
(http://www.autoblog.com/media/2006/07/mitsu_i_hellokitty2.jpg)
Further info..
(http://www.autoblog.com/media/2006/07/mitsu_i_hellokitty.jpg)
The Princess Kitty is finished in pink, with matching paint applied to the wheels. The Hello Kitty trademark ribbon logo is applied to the front doors and roof, while the rear doors get a "Princess Kitty" graphic with the lovable cartoon character's face. The back window also gets a large Hello Kitty face decal. The sideview mirrors feature Hello Kitty's face in relief.
(http://www.autoblog.com/media/2006/07/hkdetail4.jpg)
Inside, occupants rest on pink-and-white striped seatcovers adorned with the "Princess kitty" logo. The headrest covers are the shape of Hello Kitty's head, complete with ribbon on the left ear. It may be the friendliest-looking kei car ever made.
(http://www.autoblog.com/media/2006/07/hkdetail2.jpg)
OK, off to find a red.
-
Right, hoping to last a bit longer with this one >:D
The ugly one is my brother, but what is he driving, and a bonus if you can tell me where he is driving it ;D
-
another japanese car?
-
:o
Oh No!!!
:D ;)
-
facility would say red = ferrari, but the wheel isn't so italian graphic
-
8)
No, not a Ferrari.
-
german?
-
:'(
Hmm, I am suddenly thinking once you get the country, the car may be swift to follow.
Sadly not Geman.
-
corvette
-
No, not a vette.
As it is a bit tough, here is a bit more from the other side.
-
american car though?
-
Yep.
-
one of the first Viper ?
-
;D
Indeed, an early Viper. My brother loves them.
So, while thinking of a colour, any ideas where it may have been driven?
-
sorry...
I'm better in cars than geography >:D
-
;D
Oh well, if any one else wants a guess, then I have cut out the view from the original pic.
The clue is in the waterline.
Anyway, what colour next please Gilles?
-
white is beautiful
-
;D
White it is then.
Info on this baby thank you.
-
Ginetta ?
-
Hmm, I can see where you may get that idea, but no, not a Ginetta.
-
also look like new marcos
-
A touch, but not a Marcos.
-
same design than Ginettas, Marcos and TVRs... could be nothing else than british cars ?
-
I nearly pre-emptied you on the TVR in the last post. No not a TVR, but it is British.
And just to show it is not a mock-up here is another shot, but not white.
-
So it's the Lightning GT
"The Lightning car company is proud to release one of the UK’s first electric sports cars for 2008.
Combining classic, British sports car design with racing car technology and state of the art NanoSafe™ battery power and Hi-Pa Drive™ electric motor innovation, the Lightning has been developed with exhilarating performance front of mind.
Whilst its head-turning looks will appeal to the most discerning of drivers, unlike other sports cars, the Lightning is also easy on the conscience.
With virtually no polluting emissions, this energy-efficient car uses clean technology and will have the ultimate green rating. Following production of several petrol Lightnings and with the electric prototype build now well underway, the electric Lightning GT is now available to pre-order.
Electric vehicles have maximum available power at the wheels at any speed, unlike a petrol engine where maximum power is only obtained high up in the rev range. To deliver this power to the road the Lightning will use electronically controlled traction control which negates wheel spin and unbalance in the power being applied.
The stunning performance of the Lightning GTS will likely surpass almost all large engine high performance sports cars in the 0-60mph range. The sensation of harnessing power and performance will be felt by the sheer exhilaration of the power pushing you back in your seat as the car accelerates.
Because there is no engine, the Lightning has a maintenance-free motor with just a few parts and together with the control electronics and special batteries, will not need anywhere near the servicing of other sports cars.
NanoSafe™
Until now, battery technology has hindered electric vehicle innovation. In 2000, US company Altairnano Inc. established a research programme to create an ultra safe, high power battery using cutting-edge Nanotechnology. The result of their hard work is the NanoSafe™ battery.
SAFER - NanoSafe™ batteries use nano titanate materials instead of graphite which makes them far more thermally stable - there are no toxics or heavy metals used in NanoSafe™ batteries.
Hi-Pa Drive™
Hi-Pa Drive™ from PML Flightlink Ltd. is a revolution in motor technology and it’s a British innovation to boot! With its integrated motor and drive electronics in one single unit it produces an ultra high power density - up to 20 times more than conventional systems.
The compact, energy-efficient, electric wheel motors produce unrivalled levels of torque with internal heavy-duty tapered roller bearings that can withstand heavy radial loads for robust use. Yet they achieve the power to weight ratio important for the performance sports car capability of the Lightning.
Other features include total weather proofing, total energy transfer and several levels of redundancy, so any single failure will not prevent the vehicle from operating safely.
Hi-Pa Drive™ has recently become the choice of Volvo who has incorporated it into its ReCharge concept, launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show towards the end of last year."

:o :o
wow, you got that quicker than I expected.
OK, I am just off to meet someone, I know it is 10.30 ::) so I will post a Red tomorrow, unless Neil has one lying around ready to go.
-
I let you sleep, just because for me it's 11.30 PM :P
-
Right, I do hope this is not going to cause me grief :P
Info on this please.
-
Is that Brum from the children's program? ;D

Err, what childrens program would that be then? :-*

OK - (http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/msnbc/Sections/Travel%20Section/Summer%20Travel/060608_shining_vmed_1p.widec.jpg) I'm back
As this has not been used fora while start with something different - to start the game
What is his all about? What can you tell me about these?

german or central european design maybe...
-
Isn't this the BMW 'Flying Brick'?
-
Isn't this the BMW 'Flying Brick'?
Well there is a BMW conection.
-
It does look odd for a BMW. It has a Lucas indicator and and American style screen, so it must be for the American market. It might be one of the Russian copies, like a Dneipper (which suggests its actually Ukranian), but its far too tidy.
I don't think BMW actually made leading link forks, so I think its a conversion for the US market, probably be Krauser, or one of the other German sidecar builders

Along the correct lines, a slight copy of a BMW, but who's - (your on the right tracks)
-
Oh no its got to be chinese, is it a Changjiang?
That would explain the Lucas light with a US screen on a German bike.

Not that one, but on the right lines
oh yea, can't be many like this, it is 2wd!
-
Is it a Ural Patrol?
Want to get dirty? Looking for a bike that can travel those snow-covered roads like no other? Look no further.
In a class by itself, the Patrol is the only motorcycle in the world manufactured with an on-demand sidecar drive. This street legal ATV gives you the ability to switch between single-wheel drive and the unbelievable traction of dual-wheel drive with the flip of a lever!
According to Urals website.
-
It's a MZ BK350, originally an IFA BK350, untill this firm merged with MZ.
That was a bit tricky, as most of us associate MZ's with 2 strokes.

Correct Ural -
IMZ (Irbit Motor Works) is a Russian company loacted in the town of Irbit in the Ural Mountains on the edge of the Siberian plain. Their Ural motorcycle was born in 1939 when Russian engineers brought several BMW motorcycles through Swedish brokers. They carted them back to Russia, completely dismantled them and made exact copies of all the parts. A good case of reverse engineering.
(http://www.imz-ural.com/sahara/pics/safar_520_400_f34.gif)
and they have even upgraded the brakes, wonder what its like to ride - 2wd motorbike and sidecar?
-
OK on to the next one, good one here
What can you tell me about this one - what, where, when, and for an extra smug point what film did it make an appearance in?
-
Could be the Bertin Aerotrain seen at Retromobile a few years ago
-
Could be the Bertin Aerotrain seen at Retromobile a few years ago
mumble mumble, I forgot it was there,
Come on then for the smug point - the film please.
Actually the Retromobile is a bloody good show, any show where you can drink Champange at 10.00 in the morning is good to me. Anybody else been to it?
-
Film buffs will remember it as the commuter train in Fahrenheit 451
This may or may not be the film you are refering to.

Nope.
Not after my humiliatingly wrong answer last time.
-
Nope.
Not after my humiliatingly wrong answer last time.
We missed that one, think you almost got away with it. ;)

Could it be a concept from the VAG seem to remember seeing something similar from Volkswagen but then it look to have Lambo bits to it.
Mitshibushi Eclipse Concept-E from 2004?

Yes - Spot on.
I love you Nordic, most people would have deleted their first guess (kit car), but well done - extra point for being honest! :)
-
"I love you Nordic, most people would have deleted their first guess (kit car), but well done - extra point for being honest!"
Oh how funny, can just see my brother now kicking himself as he realises that he could have deleted the first post! Should have got
it first time. Was at the SAAB club when it previewed many years ago after all.
-
I have just checked, my bros may have been about 2 years old at the time.
Not really an excuse though.
-
Oi hang on!
It does look a bit like a 70's kit car! and I was fishing for clues, however I always thought the shape was familier, then it dawned on me that I had seen them before at one of the many SAAB owners club days I was dragged to when I was a kid and my big brother used to lock me the boots of cars.
-
Oi hang on!
I was a kid and my big brother used to lock me the boots of cars.
reminds me of my youthal days, being locked in the boot of a car, and that was without a car show and having 5 x older brothers.
Ahh - the good ol days - ::)

That's the bit I was after, thank you.
Off down to the dark cellar, to look for a black ball (i thought you only got those at golf clubs) - may be some time.
-
OK - I'm back.
alright he is one that I uncovered, and I mean it.
What is it?
-
quad cam V12, italian, maybe Lambo?
On the right lines - more please
-
quad cam V12, italian, maybe Lambo?
As Mr Spider well knows, the engine postion and direction being a very big clue!
This is chassis number 1 Lamborghini Miura, owned for a while in cyprus after the factory sold it in 1977 before being sold to the US and now being restored.
A LM connection being that Dallara designed the car.
-
OK - here we go again, not had an interior of a motor for a while - what can you tell me about this one.
-
yankee crap? next!
No! - but still a crap car
So back to the guessing
-
I knew this instantly. Hillman Avenger. I recognised that funny pointy thing in the blanked off dial.
My mum had one, it had rubber mats instead of carpet and sounded like a bag of nails of a cold morning. You're right, they were crap.
-
If its a left hooker, is it a Plymouth Cricket?
Badge engineering at its best ;D

you lot should read Andy's reply and check his answer.
Because, Yes it's a dreaded Avenger, and yes they were crap. My dad had one as well - the bit in the middle steering wheel, crap safety feature - big piece of expanded foam, use to unscrew and we you to thow it at each other, when my dad was not around.
OK - smug points - which model?
-
I don't think it's a DL (Deluxe) or a GL (AKA Super), see brown carpets. I'm guessing a GLS?
Bloody Rootes Group (begat Chrysler UK) rubbish. Here's what the interior look like after the 1976 Govt funded restyle... tasteful huh?

OK - simple question, which car (which you could buy in the UK) came with or had the option of a vinyl roof -
and for once I don't know the answer on that one. - Did'nt the Mk4 Cortina come with a vinly roof?

But which manufacture was the last one to offer one on its model range?

I would have thought a Dagenham dustbin, but didn't this come up before with the Talbot Solara?
However, I think the right answer is the London Taxi

In the uk, ignoring the Carbodies Black Cab, I'd guess it was Lada?
In the US it was Lincoln Continental until 2002, according to wiki. Kinda summarises the reasons for the death for the US auto industry.

Spot on, a nice little Subaru.
Of all the people to get it right, I should have guessed it would be Pete.
Saw on of these in Portland, USA a fewe years ago. The guy had a small old caravan which he had modified - Toy Hauler for the Subaru and sleep in it durring in night.
Funny bit was he had these small vehicles next to all the other peoples big rig RV's - looked very odd. But good.
Back soon with another one asap.

Hi Phil,
Glad you looked at the background as well, but not the Le Mans circuit, try another major long circuit in Europe.
-
I think the track is the 'ring as for the car, well nothing so far beyond a hint of the Veryron, maybe an early prototype?
-
GUMPERT apollo speed,
fastest production car round the ring 7:11.57 se Aug 2009 (if you exclude the road radical that did it quicker!)
-
Well done - spot on with the answer.
I will be back with another soon, as soon as I have finished this beer. That I'm drinking with a few DFH crew in NY. So that will be a while then ;D
We just read Jay Leno, is going to do a new weekly show on NBC, and he has some great ideas for his show. Including stars in an Electric car around a test track with in car cameras to hear them swear. What a great idea ::)
Back soon

I snapped these in a pub car park the other day, - one of the drivers seemed to get the hump when I said I hadn't heard of the marque before.
-
while we await Mr NoPanics return from the basement here's one to fill in the time...
Something from a classic rally, as most of them are in Italy and the car is red, is it a Fiat?

Seeing as almost racing fiats from the 50's are called the 'Otto Vu' I will start there, there are hundreds of types it would seem.

-

No, Andy. They're a marque in their own right, and also have a Le Mans history.
A history that doesn't involve animals or buggery either.
H
-
Hhmmpph... I'm stumped. ??? I'd have hazzarded a guess at a pack of cheeky little Frazer Nashes, but the marque is so inextricably linked with sodomy it cannot be that. The grilles don't slope sufficiently for Lea Francis, so I can only think of Riley.
The trouble with Riley is the little known "unnatural affection" towards avifauna held by the eponymous company founder Percy Riley. The names of the cars are a giveaway of "the love that dare not squawk it's name". The Riley "Gamecock" is the most obvious hint of the deviance beheld within the company, but you could just as easily have a Riley Kestrel, Falcon or Lincock. It's not an uncommon practice, I had a friend in Sutton Coldfield many years ago, who used to get a hard-on, put a little pile of Trill on the helmet of his winkle and get his mum's budgerigar to walk up and down the shaft digging in his little claws and pecking away. Apparently it was very nice.
The Riley was one of the most successful racing cars of the late 1920s and early 1930s, particularly in hill climbs and at Le Mans, providing a platform for the success of motorsports' first women racing drivers like Kay Petrie and Dorothy Champney. It was later discovered at a Brooklands meeting in 1939 that these two ladies were in fact MEN DRESSED UP AS FLAPPERS! Indeed, Champney was discovered to have been racing with an Amazonian Macaw parrot up his/her skirt. Fortuitously, Hitler invaded Poland the next day and the whole filthy scandal was overshadowed and remained forgotten until I made it up this afternoon.
So H, I say Riley, but for a bonus point, you're wrong about the animal buggery.
-
Trill!!??
What the f***'s wrong with Mrs Ellswoods Sweet Herring Paste? He sounds like a real deviant alright. One of the most dangerous kind. A friend of mine reckoned he was rebuilding a Riley Takeitupthearselikeaman, and although I never got to see the final results it's all beginning to make sense now.
I'm not really very good at giving clues, I'm more inclined to scratch my head, and then just blurt it out. So a bit of self restraint is required. I don't mean in a sort of 'Bronson' manner, just a little control, that's all.
You're hopping along the right pen1s when you mention Frazer Nash, but I don't think there was any real cross fertilisation. A chap with a clipboard and a pair of brogues told me that they'd had a class win at Le Mans, but I think he thought I was a tw*t. I can't find evidence of a class win, but they do have a good record at LM, and also at the Spa 24h.
Think A3.

To avoid any more distress to pet birds, maybe i have the answer BiggyH is looking for, could it be a HRG 1½ Litre.
The little chap with the clipboard was right a HRG won the 1-1/2 litre class at Le Mans in 1939.
-
Correct Nordic, you just saved Peter the Budgie from a fate worse than death.
I was surprised to discover that they were made just a stones throw from my place. It must have been wild round here in the sixties, - AC just round the corner, Frazer-Nash down the road and all sorts going on in Colnbrook. And now Mercedes owns Brooklands!

Correct so far, but what was the diffrence with the yank one?
-
The odd thing about it is the in-line engine, from using the old Audi gearbox, but they now seem to use A4/6 mechanics, which are transverse, like the Atom/Elise etc.
And the odd thing about the US version is that the steering wheel is on the other side.
It must be the only car to be built in Detroit at the minute

And now the next one, you lot have been getting them a bit to easy, so here's a harder one (I hope)
What can you tell me about this one?
-
Biodiesel GM Eco - Jet.
Powered by a Honeywell LT-101 turbine engine and based on a corvette chassis a bit of a concept car but its should be able to crack 200mph and do the 1/4 mile jsu over 10sec.
The car was on Jay Leno's show and I think he now owns it and runs it on the road.
Reminds me of the Homett.

Well I thought I would get a bit longer,
Correct, the car is a Eco-Jet, a bio-diesel jet powered engine car.
Even though it has been built with the help of GM, and its top engineers, its still being built in Leno's garage (and it a bloody big one). Looks fun though, they have had some major problems of burning out and eatting, brakes, torque converter and the stuff. They now have it running, the next major problem is to make the exhaust quieter.
Oh the fun, having all those toys.
back soon witht he next.

OK back, not done interiors for a while.
So what can you tell me about this one, its a nice and easy one.

Correct, on everything but the milage, not sure what it is but it is in Kilometers per hour (KPH) ;D
But you still get full points, if you still have that silver sticker on the back of your car?
Now on to the next one,
What can you tell me about this one. Including what the engine is.
-
Yes Neil,
I was about to say "bolloxed if I know mate, I just took the photo", then realised the answer was there in front of me.
1962 eh, - it's a good looking car for 62, - with all those straight lines and angles, I guessed it must be a seventies thang. I love the chrome dash and round rear view mirrors. The build quality looks absolutely appalling, with most of the panels looking like they've been beaten into place by a drunken irishman from a romantic novel set at the turn of the century.
A little further down the road I came across these, - no real mysteries here, but I thought they might just give pyro-boy a little twitch in his trousers....
H
-
It was the back that gave it away, remembered that I thought I had seen a car with a similar front, bit of flip thru my books and double check with web, and found it.
Does look good, nice to see it out being used, and even like the wheels. As long is not in a scrap yard - who cares.
The others look good as well. Wish I could afford to run something in this country. :-\

I'll keep an eye on it.

Is it swiss?

not swiss,
hint - engine & chassis were from another car, so it was just rebodied.
This car has also appeared in a few video games.

But the car was built in USA, but chassis and engine from europe.
They did convert one to a motorsport racing car, but it had mechanical problems in most of the races, so it was put out to grass early.

Ok manucfacture Rovin,
Cyclops robert de rovin had built motorcycles before the war with his brother raoul. His original rovin car had a single headlight and a rear-mounted 260cc single engine but never made it to production. The 1947 salon saw a more polished design, with two headlights, roll-up windows and a 425cc flat twin engine. About 380 were built before it was succeeded by the wider-bodied rovin d3 at the end of 1948. falling sales at 370,000 francs, the first rovins were more expensive than the citroen 2cv, but sold well anyway because there was a four-year waiting list for the little citroen. Later rovin models undercut the citroen in price but sold no better. In 1952, the engine was enlarged to 462 cc, but sales continued to fall. Petering out at the end of the fifties, the rovin had come in like a lion but went out like a lamb.
The rovin was as basic as could be, but ironically was built in the old delaunay-belleville luxury car factory.
But not sure on which model - think it might be a D4 Mwb
-
Rova was close
-
Yes, ROVIN D4
-
yippie - i got one right :)
Ok - I choose black, and i think I'll get this one right for some reason. ;)

Panzer III engine??

-
Is it another Maybach, out of a diesel Locomotive. MD655?
-
Got to be a Tiger then.
They also previously made engines for Zeppelin airships.
-
Then prolly even a Tiger II aka Königstiger, which would make it a 12 cilinder Maybach gasengine with 552 KW/751 bhp, where the Tiger I had 522 KW/710 BHP.
-
So it could be worth money as there are only a couple of Tigers running, and I'm not sure if any King Tigers survived. They may be the most feared tanks by the allies, but I'm sure the vast numbers of T34s had much the same effect.
So it seems my trains run on a turbo tiger motor

Correct - was told that Tatra are the only manufactures of air cooled V8's
But even better, found out this little bit of news.
The Tatra car manufacturer in Kopřivnice is planning to renew production of some of its legendary models. The boss and co-owner of Tatra, American Ronald Adams, would like to produce a limited edition of Tatra 603 and the legendary Tatraplán T600. The replicas will look just like the originals, but the engine and the chassis will be entirely new. The first old-new models should leave the factory in about two years’ time.

Isn't that form the movie 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' ?
correct - not sure what the car was called - but told it was "NemoMobile" but some call it "The Nautilus Car" - which ever
The car, although fully functional, is sadly not street legal. It was built by a specialist movie car manufacturer from scratch using an adapted Land Rover chassis and a Rover V8 engine. It measures a staggering 22 feet long and is 9 feet wide. The car is detailed with a crackle effect white paint job and is adorned with “alternate Victorian” style silver fittings, featuring a repeating elephant theme as imagined by production designer Carol Spier. The upholstery is beige leather and the whole interior is decorated in the same decorative manner as the elaborate exterior.

1967 Zil Minibus, maybe called the 'start'?
as far as I can tell beyond the prototype none where ever made.
Was a ZIL - either a 119 or 118K. Some were made, but not many.
Produced 1962–1970. Also known as “Yunost”. Modifications are ZIL-118M that was produced from 1965 and escort bus with more powerful ZIL-111 engine (7-liter 200 hp V8) that allows top speed of 160 km/h. Very few ZIL-118 buses were produced so its extremly rare, they were never really mass-produced.
In 1970 ZIL-118 was modernized and was assigned new name ZIL-118K (before that name it was named ZIL-119 for short amount of thime). Last known production of this car was in 1993 (there were years meanwhile where no copies were produced).
In 1995 enginers tried to once more put life into old bus but that didn’t go anywhere so for now the production of this bus is “complete”. The last version was named ZIL-32071.
During all these years only 93 ZIL-118 modifcations were produced.

Ah a classic Israeli car - Sabra GT, made by Autocars Co.

They made cars assembled from Triumph, hence the front side light is from a herald.

Renault Distribution Centre, Swindon, UK,
Interestingly, Flav, is in a Pariiii court today, his court case of unffaire dismissial and the FiA sanctions are being challenged, what do you think the outcome will be...
good pics here - http://www.fosterandpartners.com/Projects/0295/Default.aspx
sh*t you were quick, just discovered Renault moved out of it in 2001. It was renamed the 'Spectrum' a year later and was purchased by the Chinese Government for £17 million in 2004 for use as a trading post for far eastern companies exporting to Europe. May be they liked the colour ::)

He deserved the ban, but I think he's got a good chance of getting off, as Max (Prosecutor, judge and foreman of the jury) will be seen as being biased, and as a barrister he should know better
Hurry up and guess this one, I've another lined up.(http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i221/Lorrylemans/Classic%20car%2009/th_145.jpg)

tee hee, DAF 600, a girlfriend had one, many happy an hour being driven around in it, the noise at speed was something to behold.
The 600 was the first car to have a continuously variable transmission (CVT) system, had no diff. So when it around corners the wheels use to squeel. Like a real boy racer
Correct Well Peter, your great your wonderful and so clever.

Thats the 'Aurora'.
Designed by priest-turned-car-designer Alfred A. Juliano. This car was not a success, but he did invent seat beats. The shovel nose was designed to promote pedestrian safety being foam filled.
I think the car is now at Beaulieu i think.

Hi Lorry,

more importantly, what in the 'ell is that BT Engineer doing 'up that pole on his own, where's his chum and way isn't that ladder being footed?
Cars, extinct MG soft top and some piece of yankee rubbish.
Good - but what about the roof ornament on the Yank car?
-
A quick Google reveals..
It seems this insane tableau is the brainchild of a man who was denied permission to install a pond in his garden by the local council. So, obviously, he went out and put a guy in the ready position on the roof of a foreign police car. Way to lash out friend!
The website is no longer active however it is an imitation of an LAPD squad car. Maybe the number 54 is a reference to the US tv series "car 54 where are you" or maybe to the Blues Brothers film with the pork pie hat, who knows. This was way back in 2000/2001!
The other car is a well known type of British Sports car, known as an MG often driven by young ladies and gents having been given the car for an 18th birthday by well off parents, or by hairdressers.

Its Gotham City's Bat signal ;D
It looks like a picture from an effing great big telescope, but I can't see how they got an albino bat to stay still, in mid air, for a few seconds
-
Ahh - saw the batman logo, so came up from the depth of the cellar.
So back with a very good one, as been a while made it nice and hard.
Covers most things, we started with a van (years ago) and the cargo is beer. So something for almost everyone.
What can you tell me about this one.
-
Good grief.
Belgian and electric at a guess. There were a few experiments in the low countries during the war as they couldn't get petrol. The badge looks familiar (and hasn't fallen off for once) but it doesn't look like Van Dorne
-
That is a very rare VW powered truck called a Tempo Matador, built in 1951 by a Hamburg Germany based company by the name of Vidal and Sohn. These trucks were produced for a short period of time from 1949 through 1951 and used the well tested 25 horse VW powerplant and a ZF non-synchro 4 speed transmission. But the placement of the drivetrain was in the front, rather than in the rear live the VW transporter making it a true front wheel drive vehicle. They were built in a truck and a van format and only about 1300 were produced in total with roughly less than 10 known to exist today...making it a very rare machine.
Wow - Peter, how did you get that so quick?
For that look at the rest of the pics, I just love the work gone into and all the little details - what a beauty :)
http://www.oldbug.com/tempo.htm -

Neil, really enjoyed looking through the renovation of the truck, great to see mechanicals come alive again, bit like the Commer each year.
Getting them is easy, you need to think like the WWW. ;D
Still well done Sir,
Love to be able to do a renovation like that, but you need money, space and skill - all 3 skills I still lack :-\
So why you have the WWW fired up, and back to the real'ish world
What can you tell me about this one.

Why after getting to 996 or more do they go back to 918, and the damn things a hybrid
-
Why after getting to 996 or more do they go back to 918, and the damn things a hybrid
Presumably because they view it as a successor to the 917 of the 70s which they open the promotional video with.
At least they have managed to dig out the non-911 jelly mould.

Back again, with an oldish one

Is it from the same country as the last one? Not that that would help

OK we seem to have lost the name of the last car (the one with the odd look spaniards) it was a Moskvich 408.
Bonus question when was the last time you saw a Moskvich? and free beer for the next time u see one
Back to the big baby, it is big for a reason and that shape for an even more important reason (and no, not to piss off wheel clampers ;D )

It's got cart springs at the back so must have been rather agricultural. It's a V engine (probably 8) but has ABS so more modern?

Jensen FF (SP version) ?
Not a Jenson - but was a Ferguson all-wheel-drive system - but fitted to what motor?
And something I did not know, they also supplied F1 teams - who raced 4wd cars
-
Must be a Mustang then. Well that's something I didn't know until I looked into it.... The brief history of Ferguson's involvement in motor sport also quite interesting! Will have to look out for a return question :-)
