One for Mr Z, Which film

[Doris]

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.

PS:  "I hope your dog dies, you snotty bitch!"

OK back to the red ball - what can you tell me about this one,

[Andy Zarse]

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?

[nopanic - neil]

OK - been away working, something that I find hard at times, 

Well its red so it Italian, (on this occasion)

so next guess please.

[Leftie]

Any clues?

[Mr. Invincible Mou]

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.

WOW - what can I say correct.

The picture was taken at Donnington in 07.

BAck soon with a black ball.


And the other think abut O.S.C.A, they raced at Sebring, can't find a pic of that yet but will be back with one.

Hmm, a quick wikipedia tells me that in 1954 the 12 hours of Sebring was won by Stirling Moss and Bill Loyyd driving an O.S.C.A. MT4. It is different to the one pictured above, but a pic here



and I found some videos on Youtube

Dam, went down the MT4 route on friday, but could not find one that matched!

Great little cars, but when you see them racing now they look so slow.

[nopanic - neil]

Well done all, looks a great car, will look for one out racing in the future.

OK back to the balls (and it not even the national lottery, but I'm having more fun on this version)

Now as requested the black ball

What can you tell me about this one
