Thread: Name That Car

^^Miura?

Yep Lambo Miura S, bit of a story goes with it.

Belonged to a Greek pop star and when it failed to start one day he parked it up in the underground car park of the Athens Hilton where it stayed for several years till it was put up for auction in London, failed to meet reserve price so still around somewhere.

Many years ago a friend had one of these.

It's a Hudson Pacemaker

Obviously a coupe

Probably circa 1939/40

So a Series 91 ?

Correct David, with a straight eight under the lid.

Another friend drove round in one of these;

You are good at this, David

Spotted this at Cooly Rocks On today...

Hummm ... first up, congrats on braving the weather, you really must be a fan.
Through work, I had a bit to do with the Coolie Rocks predecessor, the WinterSun festival through the local Chamber,
but that was almost a decade ago.

So, to the car.

It's unmistakably a Lotus, late 70's/early 80's

The most obvious model is the Type 75 - Lotus Elite



---

But then there is the fastback version, the Type 76 - Lotus Eclat



The second set of bonnet (hood) vents in-front of the windscreen throws me.

Difficult to tell from the front shot.

I'll pump for the Type 75 - Lotus Elite though the Type 76 would be a rare find.


Sad to see the original wheels and side mirrors are not present.
.

Matra-Simca Bagheera

^ Damm, now I'm nervous.

Certainly has the bonnet vents I couldn't reconcile.

Plus, the car in question looks like it hasn't front 1/4 glass and neither does the Simca.

Bugger !

And the headlamp pods are square, on the lotus they are oblong, and the
Lotus has one central windscreen wiper, the simca has the more traditionsl double wipet arramgement.

No fooling the TD crowd with that lovely Lotus lookalike (well except David48 that is ) it is indeedy a Matra-Simca Bagheera.

Kudos to Ratchaburi

Any clues?. It's been sitting for sale for ages at a local gas station, I finally got some pics and have no idea what this boat is. LHD and American obviously, but no badges so what is it?.
