One for Mr Z, Which film

[LangTall]

Neil, that is a Spyker C8 Aileron, my guess it is brand new?

[nopanic - neil]

I came across this one in San Francisco earlier in the year.
No idea what it is, it did look nice though, in a wonderful 70's sort of way.
The back seat was quite clean.

OK- do I get a point - it is a 1962 Studebaker GT Hawk

So Marius - correct on the Shhhhhhhpyker

Correct, on everything but the milage, not sure what it is but it is in Kilometers per hour (KPH)  

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.

[BigH]

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....

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.

Now on to the next one,

What can you tell me about this one. Including what the engine is.

Back to the quiz - what can you tell me about this one

[nopanic - neil]

What no guess so far - I may have to dig out a hint,

I'll keep an eye on it.

[Lorry]

Is it swiss?

[nopanic - neil]

not swiss,

hint - engine & chassis were from another car, so it was just rebodied.

This car has also appeared in a few video games.


next guess please.

Is there a connection to a cave dwelling crime fighting superhero?

Is there a connection to a cave dwelling crime fighting superhero?

Well thats got me thinking, - not to my knowledge, unless you mean was it built in Gotham City - then no. 

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.

There was a Lada Niva 4x4 fitted with a Ferrari engine.  Are they related?

What you mean, the ugly sister,  cousin of the 3rd uncle on the aunties side, who has been 4 times removed, and now as a HASBO ?



No

right area of engine , but different manufacture.

[Lorry]

I don't know, a Niva is as atractive as a Vector M12
