Thread: Name That Car

tiz a thing of beauty, and in car terms i agree with Tax in that car beauty faded from mid 70s on - of course quality increased from 90's meaning a 15 year wasteland of fucktards designing, building and selling shite - sorry Ant but for the money you pay for cc'd up 70-s saloon you could get curves and a lifetime of oily work but christ at least once you've finished getting a horn over women (unless you've got Simon43's doc number) an E Type would still give you a twitch.

My go, we'll park Dill's and wait for Lulu to get his Dinky copy.

This may be easy or not.




fuk its small sorry... teaser

looks very much like a riley pathfinder, below, from 1957, but the proportions are not quite the same.



your picture is very small, but the number plate doesnt look like a uk number plate and the hubcaps and rear passenger window are wrong.

its certainly not american (and if it is not a riley or armstrong siddely sapphire) , it must be european. it is more flowing and certainly more pleasing to the eye than the harsher german designs of the period, and it lacks the eccentricity of french offerings of that time, so i would go for an italian car.

is it a lancia?? late 50's.

nice try Tax but no, i#m going to leave this one stewing, after all this thread is if for teasers. If no one gets it i'll pop more tease on 2moz

Skoda Felatio

Coupe version

probably late '40s Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 SS Berlina GT ?

Dave's the winner. Like a typical bloke i was going to string it out but once i'd started came too quick.

Speaking of Alpha's ...



WOW ... just WOW

I want to hump it's exhaust pipe!

Now we are moving to electric vehicles in which weight is a factor wouldn't it be great if manufacturers using plastic panels used a bit more imagination. No stamping and panel beating required to obtain those curves and seeing cars like that everyday would certainly make commuting less dull.

What is it?

Nev, you could have acknowledged the Members original post.

Yeh, have to agree. Citroen and Alpha grills have kept their basic shape over time.

^ It has angles similar to those on a Stealth bomber, doesn't it ?

1934.

Another Citroen in Laos, this DS Prestige, made in limited numbers 1964-7 for heads of state/VIPs, had a glass separation between the front and rear seats. It was owned by the last King of Laos, Savang Vatthana, as at 2014 it was stored, unrestored, in the former palace garage

looks like an edsel behind it.

Cycled past someone's private collection the other day and thought after my initial pangs of jealousy, what a great quiz.

Easy for some, harder for others...

London Road, near the Fools Nook pub, Oakgrove, Cheshire (just south of Macclesfield).

Sadly the pub is closed or I might have popped in for one.

In London I had a fiat 850

My German GF's Dad had a benz 280

I had an alpha GTV 1750 so the 4 door alfa giulia is easy to spot as the wheel pattern is shared between the 4 door and the coupé

Had no idea what the black car was ... a renault dauphine you reckon?
