Solved by many: Near Mint, 2nd Edition

[Allemano]

A bunch of twenty cars in near mint condition (only with a few chips!)

Some of them are reposts while some hadn't appeared here before.
As usual one point for each correct guess. (make, model designation & builder if necessary )
Good luck!

Points will be awarded afterwards!

#6-Triumph Italia 2000 designed by Michelotti and built by Viganle. Based on TR3 mechanicals.

[MG Manic]

#12-TVR 280i, looks like a coupe version based on roofline.

That's right!

#12-TVR 280i, looks like a coupe version based on roofline.

Not that..

[MG Manic]

Well, how about a Tasmin then?

[MG Manic]

#4 is what I believe was called the Brauks 8, which was a mish mash of parts from a Hudson Terraplane, a Desoto and some home crafted stuff.

Correct!

Still incorrect.  :-\

I love those Near Mint puzzles. Great pictures.

Me too. I just wish we could answer them...!

[Allemano]

I'm glad you like it! :)
Certainly both of you will get the chance for one or two guesses...

#5 I think is a Carlux Auwärter, based on a Volkswagen Transporter

:nod:

[Carnut]

#12 is the TVR Zante (also known as the SM)
#17 is the the TVR 'White Elephant' Holden V8-engined test-bed car
#19 I think is a Daimler One-0-Four which has been turned into an Estate Car, probably by Hooper
#16 is the first Apollo Convertible under construction in Italy
#15 I think is a Zelensis?
#9 might be a Warrior?

[Allemano]

Good!

#5 is, as Autogids says, a Carlux Auwarter, but it dates from 1960 and is based on a T1 rather than the Transporter, which came rather later.

#12, the TVR Zante, was also known as the SM after Specialised Mouldings, who made the body.  It was shown in 1971 reputedly with a Ford V6 engine but was never in fact a runner.
It was purchased some years ago from the factory by a TVR Car Club member who intended to restore it and make a runner, and in fact it was shown on the TVR Car Club stand at the Classic Car Show in Birmingham quite a few years ago, alongside my TVR Trident and a couple of other TVR prototypes!  Unfortunately the member made no progress due to illness and this car was sold to, I believe, someone in Germany last year, who hopefully will make it into a runner.

#17 was known as 'The White Elephant' but was only ever a test-bed for a replacement V8 to take over from the venerable Rover engine, but no progress was made as I believe the Holden engine ceased production before the Rover engine!
It was run as a daily car by Peter Wheeler, owner of TVR, for a number of years.
It too has recently been bought by a TVR Car Club member who intends to restore it.

#5 is, as Autogids says, a Corlux Auwarter, but it dates from 1960 and is based on a T1 rather than the Transporter, which came rather later.

"T1" means nothing else than Transporter 1, so he was correct.
For obvious reasons it wasn't necessary to ask him which series the Auwärter was based on.

BTW: Keyboard shortcut ä = alt + 0228

Zelensis... I  was trying to find a little bit more info, but you beat me to it.

OK; I always think of the Transporter as being the front-engined much later LT1, but I stand corrected.
Sorry about the umlauts; I must stick a reminder on my keyboard...
We just can't cope with these things in UK..

Thanks.
I've printed it off and must now write out 100 times "I must learn to use umlauts"...
