What's the car
 

So how about a wee bit of fun.
I've posted a picture of a car, well a part of a car:getmecoat:
First to guess correctly ( and confirmed) then posts a picture for others to guess and so on.

An easy one to start with

It's fun time:D

Riley elf…

Wolseley Hornet, or Riley Elf.....

Well done sir, over to you:}

Ok Simon, another front end shot, have to be specific with the model on this one.

Is it..
 

MG Metro? It looks like one to me.

Chrysler/Talbot Sunbeam Ti

Afraid not Mike

Sorry Ian, although I can see a similarity now you have mentioned it.

Austin Montego

Nope, a clue….

Not British!

Alfa Arna cloverleaf?

Close… but no cigar as Monica Lewinsky would say!!

Is it an Arna? Not sure they did a cloverleaf, perhaps a Ti?

Nope it’s not an Alfa

Another clue

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...dba9c6eb77.jpg

Is it some form of a Nissan Cherry with Alfa fittings? or a *ahem* sports trim lol

99% there 👍

I didnt know such a thing existed, but a Cherry GTi?

I’ll give you that then, Nissan cherry Europe gti, fitted with a 1.5 Alfa engine.

Your go Cliff.

Polski fiat?

seemingly this was an Alfa Ti with Nissan badges - I never thought Nissan sold any sports versions of this particular Cherry. I had to look up the Arna, and its various models to find that out.

try this one - it is a rally car, but make and model (no trim level required lol)

https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...1&d=1637432881

Ahh.
 

I knew it was familiar, I passed my test in an 83 Sunny, I really do need the eye surgery soon!

Maybe..
 

Subaru......

Even though it says 'rally escort.jpeg'...... it's a Subaru Legacy.

correct on both points lol! Looks like you are up Gordon.

Something rather obscure maybe.....

Can’t remember the name but it’s based on a mini!!

Correct on that bit!

Is it..
 

A Marcos maybe..

Sorry, not a Marcos.

were those pop up lights original?

No, the pop up headlamps are not part of the original build, a modification by the owner.

I didnt think so. I have seen it before, but cannot recall its name. I remember thinking that it looks like the offspring of a Renault 17 and an Allegro, if the 17 and Allegro was brother and sister lol. :puke:

What a horrible thought!

No idea what the car is but it reminds me of the saying
' just because you can, doesn't mean you should':}

My first thought was an Ogle Mini SX but that's not it.

Very similar shape and Mini based, but even rarer than the Ogle.
I'll have to reveal what it is soon if nobody else has any idea.

Got it but I won't divulge it as I found out the answer rather than knew it :}.

Jim

Rather the same, lot of searching based on the clues.

Say what it is, nobody can know every car without doing a little research even with Google's help.

the 'angle of the wheels is a sure giveaway' ;):p:

Rather easy though as I just searched for the registration :smilie_re:

:D Love it :bowdown:

Jim

Funnily enough, that is how I found it. It was driving me nuts, I had seen it before, and knew it was not a 'regular' mini derivative.

Well done chaps!
Who's going to have a go next?

That'll be Jimbo

Thanks Alan :cool:.

How about this one :smilie_re:

Jim

Ford RS200

Between the size and the use of Ford parts, I am going to guess a Quantum?

Sorry gents both incorrect.

Jim

I know what it is so I'll sit this one out and let you guys have a go.... 😁

I have no idea. It looks like some kind of kit car based upon a Sierra, with Jag XJR15 styling cues :shrug:

:cool:

No it's not a kit car, it's from a low volume manufacturer that let's say produced some rather diverse vehicles from the 70's to the 90's.

Jim

The 70s-90s makes me think of Panther? I can only think of their pre war Mercedes copies and the lovely six wheeler.

EDIT: Know what it is now! I actually was aware of its name, but never realised it looked like that. But it was not from knowledge, so dont feel it is right to say.

Perfect reasoning Alan.

Another picture of the rather singular vehicle :clap:.

https://i.postimg.cc/sg97yc02/WTC002.jpg

Probably all rather obvious what it is now, but can anyone name the car behind and the vehicle it was based on - all without resorting to google or wikipedia :}.

Regards
Jim

Easy Panther Solo, I remember going to the Motor show when it was released. Sierra Cosworth I think with 4x4 but I might have wished that.

I remember seeing one in the flesh at another show and the finish was very disappointing for such an expensive car.

I cannot see it properly with my phones cracked screen, with it being close to the solo, I would suggest from the roofline, a panther Rio or else a p6?

Correct Alan it's a Panther Rio and for those that didn't know the base vehicle was a Triumph Dolomite.

Over to you Alan.

Jim

I reckon this, due to how iconic it is will be identifiable by this tiny crop - make, model and 'trim' level

https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...1&d=1637606899

edit

with border

https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...1&d=1637607314

Wtf is that!!

I know that you know this! I will add a border to the image to make it stand out, then I think it will be obvious.

any better?

https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...1&d=1637607314

Mk1 Lotus Cortina

YES! I knew someone would get it from that section alone.

Bl00dy hell that was a good guess!!!!

No guessing required, always liked them .
Carry on with the photos to see what other cars we can spot?
Dave.

I figured it was that iconic, the shades of green and the white would have been enough.

you got the last one lol, you have to put something obscure or cropped out for us to guess.

Make and model, please

It's a Daimler, but whether it's a 2.5 V8 or the later V8-250 I can't be sure.

Jim

Well done ,Daimler V8 250.
All yours for the next one.
Dave

Thanks Dave.

For a change a van, maybe easy :shrug: make and model please :smilie_re:

Everything in me is saying Volkswagen, but I have never seen anything like it.

it looks like a Wolfsburg badge on the hub caps, Peugeot grill, with a Beetle-esque bonnet rib, and Beetle lights. But the wheels look like Ford Prefect .........

Based on that, is it Eastern European/Russian in origin? (as in a copy of all of the above?)

It's not a Volkswagen or a Peugeot nor anything from Eastern Europe/Russia.

Ill guess a Nissan.

there are so many oddities to it.

There seems to be a high level brake light, 'modern' indicators and a GPS(?) aerial, yet it seems to have an old flat non bonded windscreen, external hinges and trafficators. Am guessing it is actually old, rather than a modern retro styled mini bus.

Then there looks to be something similar to a Karmann Ghia (Renault Dauphine) at its side, and a motor bike behind it - could it be a Steyr or a Puch or both? (lol) - else it could be on a restoration company's stand :shrug:

So many styling cues to see aargh!:confused:

Nope not a Nissan or of Japanese origin.

It is old and was produced in mainland Europe, that's not the rear of a VW or Renault you can see it's a car produced by the same company.

Jim

Would the car be a 1000 model?

Citroen then (Albeit less corrugated that most of them)

Not the one you can see in the edge of the picture Alan, though eventually a very similar car with a larger engine became the 1000.

Not a Citroen Andy or even of French origin.

Jim

And it looks like it has , or had, indicator arms.
A strange beast

Is it some type of Morris Commercial ??:shrug: Maybe an early prototype

DKW schnellaster from Germany
Dave

Correct Dave it's a DKW F89L Schnellaster.

Picture had been edited by removing the DKW and Auto Union logos.

For Alan's information the car was a DKW 3=6 which would, when updated, become the Auto Union 1000.

Over to you Dave for the next one.

Regards
Jim

Easy one, make and model please.

Porsche 911 GT3 *RS* (the intake differentiates it from a GT3?)

Correct well spotted, over to you.
Dave

Porsche 718 Cayman

Correct, a GTS to be precise.

You are up

Thanks.

https://i.ibb.co/Wt0yxqS/S9-3981.jpg

I want to say what it is, but think it is only fair that others get a chance - it is a mk3 though ;)

I know what it is, But I dont want to be the next on to put a pic up;)

Toyota MR2. I don't have a picture to put up next though.

Correct. Must have been too easy!

I think clf deserves a bonus point too.

would it be a late Beetle and a mk2 ZT in the reflection too?

I put a £100 deposit down on one in haste when I had a MK2 MR2 but the following day I seen an MG ZT at another garage. I lost the deposit and bought the ZT. The following morning it wouldn't start and a friend who does car diagnostics put me in touch with marinabrian who came around to my home and told me the in-tank pump had failed and I needed to keep the diesel above quarter of a tank full til I replaced it. Brian recommended this forum and though I don't have the ZT anymore it's still my first port of call for reading every day. I've noticed I've gone blue so I'll pay my tenner to support this great club for another year. I still refuse to pay the jaguar drivers club £50 a year they want.

Definitely a Beetle, but not sure about the other one. I would have remembered a ZT so I expect it was something lesser.
