Indeed; actually I think it's a T8 with a V8 but I'm not sure how you tell the difference so you might be right.
That makes you an Expert now!  Well done.

Of course that means you can't answer Rookie puzzles any more but it does mean you can post your own brain-teasers, which I hope we can all look forward to.

Thanks:-) I might buy myself one of those fancy T-shirts to celebrate ;-)
How do I upload puzzles and where can I find out if they've been posted before ?

There's a search facility in the row of options at the top of the page.
Just enter your solution in there, but as a tip keep the number of words to the minimum you can because the same puzzle never has exactly the same solution..  If you have one key word that the answer must contain use just it as that is the best way to be specific.

The files you upload must be jpeg files.  Click on 'Attachments and other options' just underneath the reply box and it will offer you a browse button.  Click on that and choose the puzzle you want from your picture files.  Then press Post and Hey Presto - you've uploaded a picture!

Google search is much better.

For example, there are already two topics with Isotta-Fraschini T8:

Yes, you're probably right and I do use it sometimes with better results, but it means going off-site which can be a just a bit inconvenient.

I saw those earlier posts but they were both open cars whilst my new puzzle shows a coupé, although I haven't established whether that's a removeable hardtop or indeed a retractable hardtop; anycase it looked a bit different..

[Lofotleif]

Excellent - thanks to both :-)

The I.F. T8 was built in 4 units, while the T12 was only a mock-up.

[Hiawatha]

According to Wiki the four T8 made were red and yellow with the Audi engine and white and blue with the Mustang engine.
The one in the puzzle appears to be silver so could be the T12 mock up. I could be wrong,of course..

You could be right, but it was captioned on the site I got it from as a T8.
If it really is the T12 mock-up the heading would need to be changed.

It is the T12:
