Guess the car - Page 124

Ecclesley · 22 March 12, 13:39

Thanks Spike.
By the way is that Johnny Cash giving me the finger?
Lucky Americans they have/had Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Stevie Wonder.
While I am out of cash with no hope and never believed in wonders.

On topic how about this one with some famous rear lights.

LeSunTzu · 22 March 12, 14:36

It looks like Japanese in spite of Californian plates. Some sort of modified Honda S800?

Edit: Alright, digging a bit further into contemporary cars brought a better guess. The rear looks like a Lenham GT.

Ecclesley · 22 March 12, 16:45

LST has got it right it is a Lenham (MG) GT

LeSunTzu · 22 March 12, 17:23

"LST" makes me feel big and slow

Next one:

I had rather this in mind: http://www.demotivationalposters.org...1233677147.jpg

webfoot · 6 April 12, 15:13

Maybe a Spire but probably not. Any clues?

LeSunTzu · 6 April 12, 16:20

The car was named after the owner of the team that built it, who is a successful driver in national competitions in touring, rally and GT. The car was prepared for Le Mans but unfortunately it was never engaged in an actual race. Nevertheless there is a page on that car in a well known website dedicated to LM prototypes.

spin_doctor · 6 April 12, 16:27

2001 Snobeck LM 01

http://www.mulsannescorner.com/snobeck.html

The designer seems to have learned much from Bob and Bill Riley.

Tkrau · 6 April 12, 16:47

That is a nice looking little car.

LeSunTzu · 6 April 12, 16:50

A pity it was never seen racing

Up to you spin_doctor!

spin_doctor · 8 April 12, 23:49

Sorry guys but I've been on the road since last post and just got home. I will post a new challenge tomorrow.

spin_doctor · 10 April 12, 12:59

OK

Here is a bit of a twister: Name it and its creator

CX650 · 10 April 12, 14:24

Supercar, Gerry Anderson.

Ecclesley · 10 April 12, 14:30

Supercar, created by: Shane Pickering with technical assistance from Austin Tate.

A car, but not as we know it..........................

Edit: The one eyed old man is right.

CX650 · 10 April 12, 15:09

I think I was nine when that first came on TV.

Try this one:

bozont · 10 April 12, 16:19

now you can see it color or colour?

brulaap · 10 April 12, 17:00

Siata 208 Berlinetta, 1952 ?

Cheers,
Brulaap
.

spin_doctor · 10 April 12, 17:10

1953 SIATA 208 Berlinetta *CS-069*

http://www.collectioncar.com/blog/Guy/?p=1151

CX650 · 10 April 12, 17:18

So close I'll give it.

It's a 400F

spin_doctor · 10 April 12, 21:39

Hmm Looks like it was mis-named in the site I used.

I bow to Brulaap as 1st identifyer in this case.

Your Turn Sir.

brulaap · 11 April 12, 08:42

Thanks Doc for the honours,
here we go again, might be too easy, but anyway ...
Happy guessing

Cheers,
Brulaap
.

Tkrau · 11 April 12, 16:04

Mistral Mk ll?

brulaap · 11 April 12, 16:48

like I said ... might be too easy ...

It indeed is a Mistral II body, mounted on a 1952 MG TD chassis.
Reputedly the build took place in 1958.

Congrats and your turn Tkrau

Cheers,
Brulaap

Tkrau · 11 April 12, 17:21

Oh boy...gotta scramble here...

I know very little about this one, I just liked the pic when I found it a few months ago;

http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/image...2010/20160.jpg

Spike · 11 April 12, 17:55

1957 Denzel VW WD Serie Super 1300 http://www.motorbase.com/manufacturer/by-id/-187988644

Tkrau · 11 April 12, 17:57

Bingo!

You're up...

Spike · 11 April 12, 21:43

Ecclesley yeah that's Johnny Cash, it's a pic from his Legend of... album. I unfortunately started enjoying his music very late in his career but have amassed quite a collection of his cd's. Not a fan of country music but there's just something about his voice and the way he sings.

here's the next one.

Petrolmania · 11 April 12, 22:17

1964 Studebaker Lark was built from the factory with a 283 Chevrolet engine.

Den.

Tkrau · 11 April 12, 22:56

And backwards.

I had a Lark station wagon many years ago. It had a 3.something six and the roof over the luggage area slid under. I could use a Primus to make tea and bacon butties without setting fire to the headlining.

CSX650 got that one right along with Ecclesley. It was indeed Supercar. I think we already understood that to have been answered.

1963-64 Studebaker Commander. The version you show looks like one often seen on Pacific Raceway and other West Coast tracks in Vintage SCCA A/ Sedan events. That car is a recovered and restored race car. I forget the owner's name.

The engine is by Studebaker and was quite stout enough at the time.

Petrolmania · 12 April 12, 02:44

My Mistake. I thought it was a Lark Daytona.

spin_doctor · 12 April 12, 09:33

Studebaker went through some model and name changes at the time this car was made and dropped the Lark name. Studebaker used Commander for this one even though it is essentially an evolution of the Lark series body. It seems common online and in some magazines to call this type by several names so I guess the confusion continues, eh?

What's the word Spike?

Close enough, as Spin Doctor noted they dropped the Lark name, this one is 1964 Studebaker Daytona that was built for racing http://www.flickr.com/photos/vintage...7607658643415/
That's probably one of the few early to mid sixties cars I'd like to own someday

. your turn petrol

Petrolmania · 12 April 12, 11:59

I'll pass my turn to Spin Doctor as I've packed all my car stuff for my move.

spin_doctor · 13 April 12, 11:10

My PC died of OS meltdown. I nominate CX650 to take my turn here.

Will be back with either a new OS or a new PC ( I Hope).

CX650 · 13 April 12, 15:03

Panic over, I found one.

Ecclesley · 15 April 12, 18:50

It has the looks of a Peugeot Bébé.

CX650 · 15 April 12, 19:04

Not the answer I'm looking for.

Tkrau · 15 April 12, 19:15

Very early Morris? Maybe an Oxford?

LeSunTzu · 15 April 12, 19:35

The front looks like a Bullnose Morris, which one I don't know.

CX650 · 15 April 12, 21:48

Nope.

CX650 · 26 April 12, 15:01

Anyone?

Tkrau · 26 April 12, 15:09

No idea...after awhile, cars from that era all start to resemble each other to me, and I still think it looks like an early Morris.

CX650 · 26 April 12, 15:20

I find the same with modern 'jelly mould' cars.

Tkrau · 26 April 12, 15:24

True...hard to restyle airflow, tho, and that's what most of it's about.
