another car (even thou only concept) with a periscope rear view mirror,

for no extra points, but just for smugness, how many others can people find.

Before I find that black ball, its down there somewhere in the cellar!  ;)


I believe that that is a Mako Shark.

I know a bit of history about the colour scheme onn that one.
At my age, it takes me all night to do what I used to do all night!!!!!!!!!!!

The SPV is a great vehicle, did anyone ever make one for real?

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

Far be it for me to argue with the ref, but is that not a foul shot?

Normally a red ball follows the colour (in this cases blue). As black was nominated, can I cliam my 7 points please....

Simon - your correct, I did miss the one Lorry drove passed me (and on the inside as well), what a dodgey gezzer  ;)


What can you tell me about this one,

1948 Stanguellini Corsa 1100cc

This is the Eifelland 21 that raced 9 times in 1972. The driver was that great sportscar driver Rolf Stommelen

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  ;) )

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.
