I don't know what this is, where it is, how it came to be or anything at all, up to and including what end of the car you are looking at. I figured that youse guise are the right people to be asking what the heck it is. It may be a movie car. It may be kit based. It may powered by eels. It may love the taste of sauerkraut, long walks on the beach and evenings by the fire sipping General Foods International coffee. I simply don't know. Do you?

Well ok then. Not even a guess? There's a bunch of people chatting it up about this over in the Carlounge.net. They've bounced the idea of a Sterling kit-car based movie vehicle, A Lancia (Nope) and a few random incorrect guesses. They have been as successful as we have, albeit much noiser with bickering, banter and the usual internet bullying of the carlounge. You can read their suppositions, proposals and logic here: http://forums.thecarlounge.net/zerothread?id=3580967

This has got to be the front end, no? But that sure is a very strange place to put the headlights - assuming those are actually headlamp covers in the last picture...
-
I think it is the front end and yes, placing the headlights there is very strange. It's one of the reasons why I think it's a movie car. Logic and good design sense can go right out the window.
-
Hm, I think they took some stock version of a car I don´t know and put a very long front on it. So the main headlights lie unproportionally far back, of course.
This front end is quite extreme and I´m still not sure which car had this kind of movable headlights...
-
SIVA Saluki?
-
Guess not...
-
I am starting a new thread that is devoted for information sharing.
I am going to add the pictures of the cars that I need the information about. I hope the other user will be active and join this thread.
The main aims are:
1) To collect accurate and brief information (text & pictures) about the cars that someone (I or any other user) doesn't know anything about and can't find anything online.
2) To answer the question "What is this car ?" given by the users that don't know the car themselves.
-
The first one:
Chameleon Entreprise F-16. (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=4195.0)
Please post anything You have and You know. Thank You !
-
Will post all info tomorrow
-
Would rather move this topic to a different place! ;)
-
Where to?
-
Would rather move this topic it to a different place! ;)
You read my mind!
Everyone can post 1 car in this...section?...and give what he wants. In a few time there will be a lot of cars with all the info available from the net and from our private collections (and we have people from USA, Brazil, Hungary, Germany, Italy...) . Who is interested in guessing the cars, will continue to do that, who wants to go deeper, will know where to find all that there is to find. The secret will be to post a limited number of cars and to move over when the river goes dry. This is just an idea I had for a while, but everyone can suggest how to improve it.
-

I moved it to General Automotive. Perhaps threads like this one will help get some of you guys out of the puzzle section and using the whole forum.

I do not want anyone to reveal they sources, but just to share information.. And I think nobody is allowed to ask the cars that are not solved yet!
P.S. Thank You, Ultra, for moving!

In fact this topic is what I've missed about (a little) here.
Not only solving puzzles, but also a discussion about cars and their designers, coachbuilders, and (maybe) their relevance in automotive history in general.
Hope it succeed!

Start some threads about designers and coachbuilders. Would make a fantastic addition to the site. Write an article on this and you will end up a Feature Writer with all of the attendant privileges and that would really help to spur on discussion and site growth.

I still have one of my study works about CarDesign on CD, but 17 (seventeen) A4 pages (incl. pics) are waiting to be translated..... :yuck:
And it's written very generally.

Maybe someone has this 'brochure' in readable format?

I have begun to merge other threads on the site that belong in this topic.

Any details on this one: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=3848.0 ??? Was Tria Design a French design studio?

No, Italian!

THAT IS INSANE!!! Thank You Paul !!! That is what I call "the real information sharing" without any problems! Thank You again!
P.S. What are these cards / 'brochures' in that page?
-
It was a collection of cards, bigger than the usual card collections, with technical data of the car (not very accurate....) and a brief history of maker and model. There were also 2 or more boxes where you could organize your collection in alphabetical order or using the color-code: sport cars, race cars and so on...

Thanks - another source snuffed out. :(
-
Sorry, was not my intention... :-\
But probably it is like that Czech site...everibody knows it but it is so huge that if you pick a pic from there, you can not find it even knowing the source.
...and no, I won't tell that site! ;)
-
I'm not a fan of revealing any sources. For me it's part of the game to find them by chance or by searching!
Telling too much is a kill-joy.
BUT:
The only thing I'd like to know at the beginning of a puzzle:
Is it possible to find this particular car on the internet or is it scanned from a book?? (for scans I needn't start any search at all...!)

I don't see any problem here.. The pictures (of Morere) could have been copied an uploaded here.. But Paul Jaray decided to provide the link I respect that choice!
-
The Morere can be found in at least 2 other sites...I gave that link because it was exactly what Arunas was looking for...on the other hand you are really too good and every time we give a link, that site is over, so I understand Otto's point.
-
I understand Otto's point.
Me too, but when I ask for information, I ask for text or pictures and that DOESN'T mean I ask for links and only links.. I try to find the links myself before asking, but when I get no results then the only way is to ask Your help, guys! Please understand my postions as well ;)

Has anyone more useful information about Lectra Centauri? http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=3894.0
Is it true that Lectra Centauri was an alectric conversion of Datsun Silvia? ???
-
I was thinking to something quite different....each one of us can post 1 car, just like the puzzles, and that post can be filled by anyone who has got info. When the info are enough, or when there is nothing at all, we can start a new one. At the end we'll have, like in the solved section, a list of cars but with all the info available. Putting all the requests in the same place, IMHO, will not sort the same effect.

So? Maybe I am a little bit to quick, since I have quite much questions to ask and yet found some cars at Auto Puzzles, that I do not know nothing about.. Sorry...
-
Too complicated. I agree with Otto (although I sometimes have given away some already well known sources when you or others were crying too loud).
-
I ask for text
With a tool like google, giving text is giving links.
:-\
-

This means no text could be shared, because of the google?
-
I generally don't like sharing information. I think tracking it down is part of the game. When one source after the other is revealed, the fun starts to go away.
In the event that I've been sharing text, I've tried my best to re-write it so it can't be traced to the source. That's one way to get around Google.
From now on, a lot more of my puzzles will come from books (I've purchased quite a few recently). The good thing about that is that the game turns more towards recognising details that can lead you in the direction of this or that designer, this or that country, this or that time period, instead of just being a game of who is best at googling (although I must admit that I've been using Google a lot in order to solve the puzzles contained within this site). Now that I've been promoted to Pro, I won't be able to solve as many puzzles as before, so I'll focus instead on posting some (hopefully) increasingly difficult ones myself.

That is the nonsense, because I don't think that the only aim of the AutoPuzzles.com website is just to pust & answer the puzzles.. I think this website also must be an archive of the very different cars (ultra rare, unknown, unseen, etc..), so I naturally suppose that after answering the puzzle, the information available about that car (not neccessarily the links) should be added to the topic not just leaving it solved. I would like to say that the fun of solving puzzling must be preserved, while also keeping the website not only a forum, but also the library for other users and other visitors, that would really like to know more facts about particular automobile, because not everybody has such knowledge and sources.. I am deeply sure that the sharing of information could and should increase the quality of the whole website!
-
I would agree that after a puzzle is solved it would be appropriate to share info about a vehicle. It is important, however, to encourage care so that when such info is revealed, puzzle sources don't get revealed as well.
;)
-
I agree with both of you... we can provide also some more info together with the puzzles, but thi is AUTOPUZZLES, so I will not spoil the fun givin links where other puzzles can be found but, if there is an home-made car in a self-made site, there will be no problem to give that link or to change te text to keep it "ungoogable".
-

That is what I am talking about! While giving information, the accuracy of the text must me also preserved, BUT there's no need to add the link that contains many other manufacturers. While adding information You must post info about particular automobile and not the whole Wikipedia! :D Personaly I really wouldn't like to unveil some great sources as well ;D so I perfectly understand both Ultra and Otto ;)
-
Of course the text must be accurate. What would be the point in giving away info if it's not correct?
I don't understand what you're calling nonsense.
-

I think that will end up a translation issue.
-
I think that will end up a translation issue.
What do You mean?
I say the nonsense is that the text "couldn't" be SHARED because of the google...
-
I don't understand what you mean, and I don't think you understand what I'm asking, so I'll just leave it and we can all be friends ;)

Here it is: I have found the car that I have never seen/heard before- 2000 PROMETEA MAGICA II, but the source only provides the years ,the "name" and a :crap: picture of it.. I would like to ask for information anyone who has ever heard or seen that car.. I thank You all in advance!
http://bunnik.club.fr/7pro0001.htm

Looks like a Bizzarrini Kjara, maybe there is a connection. "Prometea is a new workshop for prototype`s development " Probably they did the Kjara for Biz.
-
"Prometea is a new workshop for prototype`s development "
Where this comes from?
-
The link you posted...
-
The link you posted...
That should be in French yes!? The similiraty of those parts are pretty high.. I will continue searching, but seems there are almost 0 information about it >:(
-
Pretty high? The only difference is that the Bizzarrini has a red wheel cover over the same wheels! If you look closer, even the shape of the head rest is the same....
-

I have already found a link that discloses much of this business ;D But there's one problem: it is Italian.. I also have time to understand it myself ;D
-
Ok, if you need, I can traslete for you, but I`m pretty sure that these cars are the same!
-

Yes! But I have a gret idea! I will make a not-so-easy puzzle from the link I found OK? That one will be for Experts ar first..
-
Perfect!

There's another one:
Anyone has idea what this could be?

If I'm not completely mistaken "Dornier Delta" leads to proper search results

If I'm not completely mistaken "Dornier Delta" leads to proper search results
You mean Dornier Delta II ?

The front part looks pretty smilar, but the front lights are different :-\
-
I know this car has been already identified as Art & Tech Sogna somewhere in Auto Puzzles forums. I would really like to get any possible information about this car (not short sentences Google offers to read..). Thank You all!
-
5.2l v12. 448 hp. 3087 lbs. Top speed of 185 mph. It's based upon a Lamborghini Countach Anniversary model. Other than that, I've got nothing.
-
Oh wait, I do have something. I have a question! Somebody on another forum saw a car on a trailer and is trying to figure out what he saw. It's unusual so it should be a piece of cake for you guys. The simple description is a long, low boattail coupe from the late 20's - early 30's. Its cabin is styled like a chopped Ford 3 window coupe. For a full description, and some guesses, click here: http://forums.thecarlounge.net/zerothread?id=4098968&page=1
He believes it was a Bentley but is unsure. Whatever it was, there are not many boat-tail coupes around, so this should be a piece of cake!
-
I would like to try, but can't open that site...can someone post that pic?
-
That's part of the problem: there is no photo of the car. All we have to go on is a description. Here's what he said:
It was dark green and black, very low-slung, obviously from the late-20s early-30s era. A two door coupe with a passenger compartment reminiscent of a chopped Ford 3-window '32 Coupe, boattail rear, large wire wheels, and a long hood bedecked with what looked like something that may've been a Bentley Flying-B hood emblem - but on that I can't be sure, as it passed by so quickly.
In addition, there was no spare mounted on the back and, as it was a boat-tail, the passenger compartment was mounted forward, yet it still had a long hood. I posted a bunch of images that met some of his description to get a sense of proportion. He said that the closest ones were the following Ruxton (but the front end was wrong) and Bentley (but the rear end is wrong)
It has occurred to me that it may not have been a fixed head coupe, so keep that in mind too.

Now, no cheating. See if you can figure out what it is!

Old, or made to look old?

I'd say a Honda NSX with Koenigsegg-like headlights and a rear end made to look like a Saleen S7.

Anyone could tell me what is this beauty? Because I don't know ???
Is this a puzzle elsewhere on the net at this time?
:serious:
-
Possibly, but I just want this to be identified not because of any puzzle, but because of I have no ideas (or maybe too many ideas ;D) what this could be :(
-
Possibly,
Rephrasing the question in order to prevent you dodging answering it; Do you know of another site where this is a puzzle right now? Yes or no.
:noid:
-
Possibly,
Yes or no.
:noid:
Yes! And, according to You, this also should mean, that like an ass**** I am using AutoPuzzles that someone would solve it for me, yeah? If You're thinking this way You're absolutely wrong. The main reason why I posted this car is because "I want to know what it is", forgetting any puzzles.
P.S. Please believe me, I am not that person who just wants to solve as many puzzles as possible anywhere anytime. I have more other objectives ;) Whatever....

Yes or no.

When you post a puzzle from another board you will provide links to the puzzle at the other site or I will delete your post. I will be anxiously awaiting the link to this one.
Continue behavior like this quoted post and I will delete you. Make sure we are understood.
That is all.
-
So, rather than provide a link to the puzzle that you took the pic from you plead innocence and delete the post.
Ever fallen through thin ice, Arunas? You are getting dangerously close to doing so with me.

I don't care what you wish to discuss.
When you, Arunas, bring material from other sites you will include a link. Is that CLEARLY understood by you?

Let's hope so.

Let me post one then.
This one is featured on a web page as a Lotus Elan variation. Has anybody ever seen it before? What is it?
Looks more like a Nissan 350Z at the front, in my opinion... a bastard child of some sort, anyway...

Hello!
While searching for some Bugattis I came to this: quite odd looking one.. Unfortunately no name of it has been provided so I would like to ask if someone knows an exact model name of this car?
Thank You!
-
Old, or made to look old?
Whoops! Went AD/HD for a bit and just kinda spaced out. Sorry about that.
It is both old and made to look that way. Errrmmm... that's not very clear.
Let's try again.
It is based upon an old car but it is newly created for this year's SEMA show. The main body is exactly as was surmised: 32 Ford 3 Window Coupe. The boattail and the rest are brand spanking new. It's sort of a Resto-mod-kusto-vintage car of sorts.
Aw screw it. It's all new made to look like it's old, which is why I couldn't find the damn thing to begin with. I was looking in the wrong century.
-
@arunas that's a Bugatti Type 57 by Brown...details will follow...here you are: 1955 Bugatti T57 James Brown 1955 chassis 57645
-
Oh, and that Bugatti is a 1952 T57 with a body by Brown. It's currently located in Brussels, at least according to the Buggati Page. http://www.bugattipage.com/bp1.htm (Halfway down, the link that says "Different Post War Bodies on Buggatis" - the thumbnail appears to be missing)
-
Dang, beaten yet again by Paul Jaray! ;D
-
Thank You guys, both! ;)
-
And another one.. I have no info about what it could be.. I have found only the following pictures and no other info :(

Here are some info about some cars I've been asked:
Monviso Stella Filante:
Presented at the 1954's Turin salon, based on the Fiat 1100/103 TV, it was a spider that featured a detachtable plexiglass top and was designed by Michelotti.
Stabilimento Monviso was founded by Commendator Alessandro Casalis in 1944. Felice Mario Boano (GHIA) was his friend and he passed him the commissions about ambulances and hearses. In 1953 Casalis presented a 1100 Coupè and the following year the Stella Filante. This was the last project because Casalis joined Luigi Segre in GHIA and started to build the Ghia-Serie Speciali and the firm Stabilimento Monviso was absorbed by GHIA but remained for commercials and tuned versions.
Some models by Stabilimenti Monviso,:
Fiat 1100B Cabriolet/Spyder/Coupe Stella Alpina 1948
Lancia Aprilia Coupe 1949
Fiat 1100E Cabriolet/Spyder/Coupe Stella Alpina 1949
Fiat 1400 Royal Cabriolet 1950
Fiat 1100E Coupe/Spyder Rondinella 1951
Fiat 1400 Coupe/Spyder Rondine 1951
Fiat 1900 Coupe Rondinella 1953
...plus a trim line for the fiat 600.
-
Carrozzeria Mantelli:
This firm is very old, it started his activity in Turin 1922 founded by Pietro Mantelli who took over the Carrozzeria Italiana and who became the ufficial supplier for Ansaldo and Diatto bodies. His cars were the first to mount bumpers.
Andrea Mantelli continued the activity of his father, who has the factory destroyed during the bombing in 1943. Like many others at that time he prepared ambulances, hearses, advertising vehicles and light trucks.
In 1956 he presented a Fiat 600 Multipla Giardinetta, with a nice two-tone paint and a different back, a 600 Multipla Furgone and a 600 Multipla Camioncino, 2 delivery and light trucks.
In 1957 he designed a MG Midget TF replica on a Fiat 1100/103 chassis, but only one was made.
In 1957 he asked Michelotti to design a new version for the Fiat 600 and the result was a down-sized copy of a fiat 1100/103E, available in a standard verion and one color, and De Luxe version, with a bicolor paint.
In 1959 this 600 was upgraded and the new style was a (down-sized) copy of the big fiat 1800 and 2100.
Andrea Mantelli also designed a Nuova 500 Sedan in 1958 on the lines of the Fiat 1200 Granluce (!).
One of the last creations is a Fiat 850 4-door.

Anyone knows what this is?
It was shown on 2008 Eyeson Design show in Detroit. The name written on the plate is slightly to small to say clearly what it is.
I read 1989 T...aire concept (?) by Ch... H....... & Gary(?) Pull.....
I googled many combinations, but without any success so far.

I have never seen this car before, but with the name of it the pictures, Paul Jaray has posted, could be easily found via google.. BTW.. I think there are no other info about this car: tech specs, etc? ???
-
Is my Google more disabled than yours? ???
EDIT: Now I've found it! But nothing about builder, specifications etc.

Now I've found it! But nothing about builder, spcifications etc.
Yes :( These two names seem to be unknown for google ???

You can find at least 3 sources, one with only pics, one of the company who engineered the retractable top and one of an article about this car, with very little info.
-
I have received an e-mail from my friend. He has sent me perfect picture and aked me what the car in background (that brownish one) could be.. I am not very good at these. I am thinking about Opel Commodore B or what.. Maybe You know exactly what it is or have better ideas? Thank You!

:( "1990 Cars & Concepts Tresaire" that's all I can find.. No articles or something like that :( Still digging...
UPDATE: @PJ: "Not since the days..." is it that article?
-

Thanks for the tip ;)

You can find at least 3 sources, one with only pics, one of the company who engineered the retractable top and one of an article about this car, with very little info.
:( "1990 Cars & Concepts Tresaire" that's all I can find.. No articles or something like that :( Still digging...
UPDATE: @PJ: "Not since the days..." is it that article?
Sorry for the delay...I think this link is absolutely harmless, but I do not want to break any rule so here's what's in there:
"A convertible whose top can be lowered at 65 mph? The C&C Skylite Convertible Hardtop System provides the first convertible top that can be opened and closd at highway speeds. Showcased on the "Trasaire," C&C's concept vehicle, this convertible hardtop has an aerodynamic all-glass top that can be vented..." You have to sign in for the rest.

Any ideas what could this be?

I'm repulsed, yet I cannot look away.

... and these two:
-
the second one is easy....Colani AC 428 CFX32 SPIDER
-
And the first one I know I have seen somewhere before - just not with the Bugatti grille, so that's probably an add-on.

It looks somewhat like a "Custom Cloud", a short lived aftermarket kit for Chevy Monte Carlo's sold in the 1970's. However, the shape of the greenhouse says "Ford" to me, so I'm thinking it's a similar conversion on a Ford LTD II.
-
The Bugatti one reminds me of Barris's The Car from the movie "The Car", but it's not the same, just similar.
-
I could add some more pics or that black car..

Just to clarify: Is it really Brewster as I think it is? :)
-
Well, looks certainly like the Brewster-Ford Town Car.
-
I have this mystery as H2.. and a fact that it possibly was made in the '70s.. Anyone knows what it really is?

Tresaire, according to the plate.

Looking for pictures of ISO Rivolta Varedo with open door(s).. Anyone?

Hello! I would like to know if this car known as PTG Exclorlator has ever been built or, thankfully, it remained just the fugly renderings? Thank You!
-
The other one: Revolta. The question is the the same as above...
-
I remember reading that they built a prototype in 2004 under the name Revolta raptor (the production vehicle was to be called Revolta Garra iirc), but I've never seen any photos to prove it.
-

Hello! I would really appreciate any help in identifying this car. Thanks!

Hello! Could anyone tell me who is the real builder of this car? Michelloti? Allemano? And maybe anyone knows what is the real name of this car? Are the cars in both pictures the same?
-
Hello! Could anyone tell me who is the real builder of this car? Michelloti? Allemano? And maybe anyone knows what is the real name of this car? Are the cars in both pictures the same?
As far as I know it was built by GHIA AIGLE and designed by G. Michelotti. Sources are available on the internet. (more than you need!)

The sources are misleading. Some have Michelotii, some also means Allemano, etc.
Is the car in both pictures the came?
-
Allemano was a coachbuilding company not a single designer. Michelotti drawed many cars for them!

Serafino Allemano was a designer himself, started in Turin in 1928. In 1935 he eliminated the repair work in his factory and focused on the creative side. Mario, his nephew joined in 1945.
-
Thank You! This is a another mystery. Could anyone tell me what is this car? I think that the place is 1950 Paris Auto Show.
-
Triumph Roadster 1950 a.k.a. Bullett a.k.a. TRX
-
BTW, let me give you a suggestion. If you google Triumph (from the license plate) and 1950, the year you already knew, you will find plenty of info, pages and pictures of this car.
-
Triumph Roadster 1950 a.k.a. Bullett a.k.a. TRX
Thanks PJ very much!!!! Isn't it a coachbuilt car (That's why I didn't found it!)
-
Carrozzeria Allemano was an automobile coachbuilder in Turin, Italy, owned by Serafino Allemano and was established in 1928.
Allemano made various cars based on their own designs, and in some cases, externally made designs, such as those by Michelotti.
Some of the earlier cars were Ferrari 166S, Alfa Romeo 2500 and Lancia Aurelia.
For Fiat Allemano created three Fiats 1100 TV (designed by Michelotti, 1954), Fiat 600 (1955-1958), a few Abarths 750, Fiat 850 and Fiat 2200.
For Maserati it made 21 Maserati A6G 2000/54, prototype designs for Maserati 3500 (1957), and 22 Maserati 5000 (1959-1965), many of these designed by Michelotti.
There was also a Jaguar XK140, an Aston Martin DB2/4 (1953) a Panhard Dyna, as well as Renault Dauphine specials.
Carrozzeria Allemano ceased to exist in 1965.
Usually the name "Allemano" is linked with coachbuilding activies or am I wrong? ;)
-
A former puzzle...
http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=4119.0
-

You are right, probably I misread your words. Allemano is just like Nuccio Bertone, Giacinto Ghia, Giovan Battista (Pinin) Farina, Ugo Zagato, etc...a designer and a coachbuilder's firm. Each one of them is a coachbuilding company but also a designer, because they actually design their own cars.
-
I know there's the same picture somewhere here at AutoPuzzles. My questions are: 1) Is it already solved? 2) Which puzzle is that?
I am looking forward to getting response from the author.

I have found this mystery in a magazine dated back from 1939. Unfortunately there are no hints to its name, so I am asking for Your, AutoPuzzlers, help. Thank You!
-
I found this car some days ago, all the pictures are named in a way but the logo in the car reports another...I'll post my pic...
-
the car is presented in 3 different places as a Motor-kar (in a museum there is even a display card with that name) but if you read the logo, there is "Moto-Scod".

Arunas, sorry for not responding earlier, I just haven't been here for some time...
That was indeed my F#8, as PJ wrote.
-

Badges look like 'Moto-Scoot' to me...
-
That was my idea too, but there are 2 logos, and 1 in another picture, and in none of them is clear, and there is no line for the T...
-
Maybe 'Moto-Scool' ?
-
I bet it's Moto Scoot!.
1. It does make sense! ;D
2. The "T" of "Moto" seemingly also misses a line. ;)
3 There several results if you do the search "Moto Scoot"! :D
-
Arunas, this "Information requests" topic you've started is beginning to be a nuisance. In fact, I think it goes again the whole idea of Autopuzzles (at least my idea of it). This forum's purpose isn't to help you gather information about the cars you don't know. Not only.
I had that car ready for a puzzle. In fact it was my Whaddyacallit #257 and it should have been online a month ago if I hadn't got mixed up with my list. Thanks to you it will go to the wastebasket.
You've been pestering us since you're here with your information requests. What keeps you from making puzzles of these cars?
The fact that you don't know yourself what they are is no obstacle. All you have to do is ask the puzzler who identifies it to bring some element of proof.
-
Mr Ray B,
Thank You for Your reply, but:
1) That's not exactly me who has started this thread
2) It is Your opinion, expressed in this post. I must respect it, but not follow it.
3) This topic shows once again that there are people who are not ready to help from time to time, because of some reasons:
a) They find all cars like puzlles: puzzle here, puzze there, puzzles everywhere
b) They think information request is a dumb think
c) They think I am destructing the forum idea what is an absolute nonsense
4) Why should we discuss these things at all?
-
Don't worry, Arunas. I was mostly feeling grumpy, and I never dreamt you would change anything.
-
a) They find all cars like puzlles: puzzle here, puzze there, puzzles everywhere
What website are you at?

Mr Ray B,

I have to agree with Arunas. I think the point of AutoPuzzles is precisely to unveil unknown cars so that everyone can have that info if they'd like to.
Personally, I'm against the idea of simply "question-answer". Why not discussing the cars?
The fact that Arunas has posted this one as "unknown" can happen o anyone. It's as much of a risk to ask for a car we don't know as to post a puzzle that other knows. One doesn't just guess! As a gentlemen's agreement, we can apply the principle of "whenever one posts a car unknown for him at this topic, the other who knows the car and is going to post it as a puzzle just says so". But considering any other user knows the car and answers the "asker" in this topic, is very likely to do the same in the puzzle, so I can't see why all the fuss.
Anyway, I find Arunas' idea a good one and I send him my kudos for that.
-
Personally, I'm against the idea of simply "question-answer". Why not discussing the cars?
Sure Joao, whynot? I never said I was against discussing the cars, nor in favor of a simple question-answer forum. If you take a look at my puzzles, you'll see that I have added other pictures or interesting details about the puzzled car whenever I had them. There is no need to ask.
I am only saying that the idea of a topic solely dedicated to gather information about cars lacking to Mr.A or Mr.B is competing with the puzzles. And that it would a better idea to combine both things. I explained above that it wouldn't be a problem at all.
Now you puzzlers do it how you like, I have no intention of enforcing anything upon others.
-
Thanks, Joao!
I would like to add the following:
The AutoPuzzles forum is a forum where people solve puzzles, but I think there are no section (expect for Information Requests || What is this car ? thread) where people could ask us, puzzlers, for automobile identification. Let's say a person comes to the forum, but we are just identifying cars for the points, the points and once again the points. Shouldn't we forget scoring points and help not each other (as we should do I deeply believe), but also offer our help for guests who could post their cars, asking what this or that could be (requests must me restricted my rules of course!). AutoPuzzles is a forum where best of the best automobile experts express themselves. My question is: should we just show how good we are by scoring hundreds of points or also being a team of professional identifiers?
-
Once again I think that you both are right.
When I joined this site I posted my first puzzles and among them a serie of "Need your help" puzzles, where I was posting the cars that I didn't know and giving a point to the person who solve it, just like a puzzle and just like Ray B. is suggesting.
If you have such a car, Arunas, why don't you post it?
On the other hand, if Arunas, or whoever, would like to have info about a car, but don't feel like answering questions he can't or giving clues he do not have, I think He won't harm anybody. I understand Ray's disappointment in looking good puzzles going to the wastebasket, but this is nobody's fault.
Arunas (because now we are talking about him) is emailing me for his requests and I'm glad to help him, but I think that probably all of you would be interested in having the 30 pictures I sent him of Balbo's cars or the other rarities I found on my books for him. He is the one that, with no problem at all, show us his curiosity and if we can, why won't help? If we think this is annoing, we can just jump to another page.
-
"If we think this is annoing, we can just jump to another page" Yes indeed!
But please do not involve me, personally, in this great discussion. Thank You! :)
-
Paul is absolutely right. I'm all fore on giving the liberty of choice to the puzzlers on either posting a puzzle or just asking in a topic. I think noone's going to be hurt with that. But as I've said several times to Arunas, I'm free on offering all info I have on the solved puzzles. I assume I don't make it as often as I would like but that's also due to lack of time. Cause it's not all about solving puzzles, it's also about sharing information, even if mostly that's made just by ID'ing a car.
But Ray, I don't see how can a unknown car for someone be "competing" with the puzzles. If we don't know what it is, it won't "harm" the puzzles in wait-list. If that car's on anyone's list, just say it out and I think we're civilized enough to agree not to insist on that car until it's puzzled and solved!
Just a few thoughts...

I wouldn't say it was against the rules. As I said, it's quite a nice idea and only up to the "asker's" choice.
-
What keeps you from making puzzles of these cars?
Somebody said...
If you want you can post this cars as puzzles, and when somebody found it, give him the points. If it's a repost, amen, if it's not, better. If you are in an hurry to know it go directly in the pro section, if you are afraid that somebody will start asking you about this car, just specify at the beginning that you just don't know.
If you prefer to post it here, keep on!
...and peace for all!
-
:bag: You are waiting for me to say something, huh? :bag:
-
You already did... I noticed that there is a little bit of history repeating...
I think you are right and we can use this cars as puzzles, but if, for any reason, somebody don't want to make it, he is free to use this place.
Probably I don't get the point of this arguing...I mean, why give points here when all the site is about this in the main part? Why don't post obscure cars (even for the topic starter) in the main part? Why don't let anyone do whatever he likes (inside the limits of course)? Why can't we be friends? Why I can't find a parking spot near the place I'm going? Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? Where did I put my pills?
-
@All, esp Joao Gois:
You don't like such silly discussions, do You? ???
-
As the originator of this thread, I'll be happy to give a point to anybody who can determine what the car I posted is. The only reason that I didn't post it as a puzzle is because if somebody said it was a 1972 Flaginator Belchoil II, I'd have no way of knowing if they were right.
Beyond that, errrr.... carry on the squabble gents! I've got nothing to add.
Oh wait, I actually have something add to my original post. After too much time spent, I finally decided that the original car is a modified Sebring Kit car with the canopy removed. You can even see the arms for lifting the roof if you kinda squint your eyes, tilt your head, lick your knees and hop about on all fours.

(http://www.priceofhistoys.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/sebring-kit-car-06.jpg)
Since nobody has proven me wrong, I've decided that the name of this car is the Flaginator Belchoil and have awarded myself a point. Yeah, it's illegal, but I live on the edge.

For the first one I have nothing.
For the second I have something about Michelotti (what could absolutely false), but this doesn't provide any positive results...
For the third one only Terra name which doesn't mean anything for me :(..
-
Second one is the last car design of Michelotti called "Villedeuxmille" and was shown 1990 in Torino. It only was a non-functional maquette for a five-door MPV.
After head of design Tateo Ushida left the company in 1989 Michelotti stopped their automotive activities.

An interesting car, but only one picture from imageshack is showing up.
I've found a sales advertisement, though. The car seems to have had some other badge - possibly a writing on a very edge of its nose. The chassis plate reads F.Merlin, Bone. I thought it could be a carrozzeria name and the city of origin, but now I'm not sure. The are two cities named Bone that I've found - in Indonesia and at Philippines, both seem to be not what we are looking for. But in France there is Bonne. We also have chassis number (4062) and engine type (P80), which didn't help me yet. Another plate, on the engine, says 'Autobleu-Marine, Paris'. I know where Paris is, but what Autobleu-Marine could mean?
The wheel covers look rather Darl'Mat to me, I'd say, and the rear end too.
P.S. The badge looks similar.

"More information" implicitly implies the person doing the asking has some information already about the topic in question. If this person has no information about the topic and is posing questions here, he or she is misleading everyone but most of all misleading him/her self.

Absolutely! It was 1994...that's why it's not a digital picture but an old fashioned one!
I'm not revealing the maker because the yellow car in the same stand is a current puzzle, so there is the chance that this car is from the same brand...
-
yellow car in the same stand is a current puzzle
Which puzzle?
-
The black one is actually a Porsche boxter with a honda NSX VeilSide Kit. it was introduced in Paris Tuning Show in 2009.
-
Does anybody know where is this puzzle?

I looked there before (and I removed the link) because I remember that Arunas was interested in the doors, if they were gullwing or not, then I looked here and I saw that He was looking for a puzzle and decided to post it here, is not a great picture..

Probably I was wrong, then, it's not there, but it's not in the active section as well...or it is a multiple puzzle or it was not shown here before.

It's one of my professional puzzles: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8152.0

Who know the whereabouts of this one?

Solved section?
There are 2 cars of this make there, but since they are not this model, I prefer not to post the link, in case there is another one yet to be solved.
-
Indeed, I found the 2 solved ones also, but I'm almost certain this one is still out there amongst the unsolved ones
-
I checked the list I have of unsolved ones and it's not there...I don't think is in the Pro section.
-
While we keep the secret, maybe another picture?
-
That's a lot less puzzles to check, now that I can discard the ones from you guys. ;)

Does this car appear somewhere in the forum?

Not this forum.

Can anyone tell me where is this?

Somewhere in the Middle East, I'd guess. ;)
-
As far as I know it is Ferrari 250GT by Pininfarina, but what's an exact name of this car, please? Is it a one-off?
-
stay tuned...
-
This car was simply called Ferrari 250 GT Spider, and was presented at the '57 Geneve salon, then at the Turin show.
A similar design was shown in the 58 with and without a big air intake on the side and an higher but smaller air intake on the hood..
I took pictures of all these versions and I'll upload them.
It was a one off and the Pininfarina Catalogue calls it 250 GT Spider Speciale, but the magazines from '57 I have call it simply 250 Gran Turismo Spider
-
Thanks so much! :hail:
-
It will take some time, since there are really a lot of differen versions, by now I can tell you that the one in your pic is not the first, Collins' one, because that one had not the chrome surround on the windshield.
-
Is this one still here? Can't find it in the solved section...

Yes, I believe it is a right place. Do you know the place (the country) where the photo has been taken? It may be helpful.
-
It reminds me one of the Crosley-based microcars.

but also this:

Very hard to say, but it could be this... However I have never seen a rear view period picture of BMC...

I do not have a rear view, but I'm pretty sure it's one of these.

I do not have a rear view, but I'm pretty sure it's one of these.
The grille opening is wrong as are the lines at the rear of the front fender.

Hi, I found this in a book, I think something is wrong:
"McFee (USA)
This was a mid-1950s sports car with a fibreglass body, multitubular frame, modified Fiat front suspension and swing axle rear suspension with a transverse leaf spring. McFee offered cars with Crosley, MG, or Offenhauser engines. Few were sold."
There's nothing about McFee (I suspect is McAfee) in any other book. :-\
-

This was a mid-1950s sports car with a fibreglass body, multitubular frame, modified Fiat front suspension and swing axle rear suspension with a transverse leaf spring. McFee offered cars with Crosley, MG, or Offenhauser engines. Few were sold."
Is there anyone with an idea about this McFee from the 50s?
-
Here's one that I'm just flummoxed on. I'm probably gonna kick myself for not knowing this, but then again, maybe not.
Any ideas?
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e47/dltracy/parts/IMG00130-20091030-1616.jpg)
-
Any known detail? (nationality for example?)
(BTW, about the McFee?)
-
Two things:
1, Ernie McAfee was a renowned racer and tuner during the early 1950s. He was the West Coast distributor of SIATA cars. If it was really a McAfee than it may have to do something with him
2, I browsed through the early 1950s issues of Motor Life a couple years ago. I have great pictures (though photocopied) of 1950s American custom cars and kitcars. I will post some as puzzles soon :) But I haven't found anything on a McAfee there
-
In your opinion, the McFee reported in that book is actually McAfee?
"McFee (USA)
This was a mid-1950s sports car with a fibreglass body, multitubular frame, modified Fiat front suspension and swing axle rear suspension with a transverse leaf spring. McFee offered cars with Crosley, MG, or Offenhauser engines. Few were sold."
-
There has also been one more American racing driver - Jack McAfee who, in turn, had a Porsche dealership. There is a whole website dedicated to him in the web. No single word about any kitcars there, though.
porridgehead, your car seems somehow familiar, but maybe because it has traits of several other cars at the same time :) Any info you have would help the identification much.
-
I have nothing to offer in the way of help, other than it is currently undergoing restoration somewhere around Mesa, Arizona. I was thinking Veritas or EMW but have found nothing. No other photos either. No engine info... nothing. :(
-
Well, I have never seen any Veritas or EMW cars even distnantly resembling this one, so I would suppose it is none of them, but rather some Italian or French automobile from late thirties (Simca, Fiat or Alfa Romeo based maybe). But at the moment these are nothing more but my ideas.
-
I know Mc A fee, but is there anything about Mc F ee?
The mistery car reminds me some French specials like Darl'mat ones...
-
Probably I found it...I'll post a pic.
-
mmmm...what do you think?
-
...I think it's not that, here's a pic with the grille.
-
To me the puzzle car is a bit bigger, longer at least.
-
The car is question does not have the dash bulge that PJ's car has.
-
Regarding McFee/McAfee - it is definitely a McAfee: "The McAfee Crosley-powered sports car is a fina example of beautiful hand craftsmanship. ... Front suspension is modified Fiat 500 and the rear is a swing-axle type utilizing a Halibrand quick-change staddle section..."
It can accomodate Crosley, MG or Offenhauser Midget motor...
It was fiberglass
And I will scan a picture of the car, its chassis and the description this afternoon from a nice booklet: John Bentley: Speed and Sport. By the editors of Auto magazine. Trend Book No 104, published cca 1957
-
Thank you!
-
I was a bit wrong, as I think the booklet, Speed and Sport was published much earlier than 1957, possibly 1953 or so. It is Trend Book No 104, while Trend Book No 112 (Manual of Building Plastic Cars) was published in 1954.
I hope it is readable:
-
It is perfectly readable, thank you.
I knew McAfee but wasn't sure that McFee was the same...it is not the only mistake in Mike Lawrence's book...
-
but also this:
Sorry I haven't gotten back to this. I am still new enough here to lose some things.
And I have a little more information, including a rear view image which should have shown itself on the first post.
The instruments are 1930s Peugeot and the motor is AutoBleu Marine. Is not believed to be original but it is all leading up to the conclusion that it is French.
-
The rear end is different, at least it seems to me so, as well as the front to be honest. If it is French, maybe we should ask at some French forums then?

I AM SORRY, SORRY, SORRY! I have messed up badly. I just gave out wrong information for this car. I got completely confused with another car that I am researching. This car is just a shell. No instruments and no motor.
I suspect it is an American body for a Bantam or Crosley or some such.
Again, I apologize profusely.

Well, no need to disturb French forums then :P

Somewhere was an (very) old puzzle showing an almost covered wreck of a white mystery car. It was stored in some backyard behind a fence. ???

no. it was a rather futuristic car which was never identified. (neither donor nor builder)

here is the pic from "La Sport e i suoi Artigiani" book:
Is there anyone with more info about?

Looks like that, with a different front end but still very similar. The wheels look like Topolino to me and, well, the size also.

Hi Arunas,
It is a 1984 Ferrari 412 by Scaglietti.

Coachbuilder? Anyone?
It's also featured here: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=11762.msg96988#new (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=11762.msg96988#new)
I don't know the coachbuilder for sure, but think it must be either a Spohn coachwork (GFK molded like the ugly VW) or a factory built Veritas.
-
I think that photo was taken at the most recent Essen show. Maybe someone got a closer look at it there? I did think that it was Spohn, and was hoping somebody could positively ID it so I could add it to the Postwar Spohn topic. I'm not familiar enough with factory built Veritas road cars, but it's a very different style from the ones I have seen before. It's also rather attractive, i'd hope you agree!
-
Yes, now I remember seeing it in Essen as well, but as I already saw it at the "Meilenwerk" I didn't pay to much attention...
-
A Veritas with the same coachwork competed in the Monte Carlo Rally (car no: 283) in 1953.
Don't know if that helps to identify the coachbuilder though?
-
Probably this will help: http://www.prewarcar.com/postwarclassic/classifieds/ad26881.html (http://www.prewarcar.com/postwarclassic/classifieds/ad26881.html)
But I've found this page by 'Veritas Spohn' request, so it is just what I wanted to see, hope not a mistake.
-
My German is not good - does this help?
-
Handmade manufactured in Meßkirch/Germany Veritas cars had in the early postwar years clearly dominated their class. Nevertheless the team around Ernst Loof went bankrupt in 1950. With help of new donors a new start should be made directly at the Nürburgring. The plans included a possible production of various closed and open models. Engine was the Veritas constructed, at the Heinkel factory built 2-liter six-cylinder that was modified to short-stroke in comparison with the former BMW engine. It developed up to 160 PS under race conditions.
The shown K3, three-seat coupe was produced only three times. Probably the exorbitant price of 21,500 DM made a significant quantity impossible. (Back then a Volkswagen Beetle cost only 4400 DM!)
It's appearantly the last original unrestored Veritas. After 40 years of storage the vehicle preserved details in a fascinating manner.
So, despite of interisting facts unfortunately nothing about the coachbuilder.

Veritas has left Meßkirch after 1951:
"Veritas-Nürburgring (company) 2 Liter (1951-1953)
In the autumn of 1951 Ernst Loof moved into the former Auto-Union racing pits at the Nürburgring to carry on building his 2-liter Veritas cars.
The engines still were delivered by Heinkel, the bodies came from Spohn. The programm featured one coupé and one convertible, each available on a short and on a longer wheelbase chassis with 100HP and a race car with 120 or 150HP. Prices from 21.000 DM. But only 20 cars were the meager output. The Veritas-Nürburgring (company)had to be liquidated. The then german secretary of transport forced BMW to buy the rest of Ernst Loof´s fortune and they gave him a new job (unwillingly). He died just some years later"
This is my personal translation of a text in "Deutsche Autos seit 1945, Band 2" by Werner Oswald,.
So I´m quite sure that this is another Spohn-built body of a 1951-1953 Veritas-Nürburgring.
Only the Dyna-Veritas (1950-52) had Baur-built bodies. To produce them a separated joint venture company called "Veritas GmbH" was founded.
After the main Veritas company in Meßkirch went bankrupt in november 1950, a certain Mr. Lorenz Dietrich established a new company called "Dyna" at Baden-Baden. The Dyna/Veritas cars were built at the Baur/Stuttgart factory.

Any ideas, please?

The tractor seems to be a very famous one... Fordson

The Veritas is still showcased at Meilenwerk/Düsseldorf.
I was able do do an interiour shot - much work and money has to be invested to make this a shop stopper again...

The tractor seems to be a very famous one... Fordson
and how about the vehicle?

Wasn't this picture a puzzle? I can't find it
-

Sorry to disagree, but that's not a Fordson tractor. I don't think you'll find a Fordson with the engine enclosed by a louvred cowl like that.
It's a McCormick-Deering 10-20, a model made from 1923 to 1939 by the International Harvester Company. The one shown below has different wheels, but you can see it's the same machine.
-
Still a famous company :P
I think your solution is probably the one.

No; it's a shot of the Midget Autopia at Disneyland. Its big brother, Autopia, was a puzzle here before.
http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=12438.msg103109#msg103109
The Midget Autopia cars were for children only; Autopia cars could accommodate adults. The Midget Autopia, coincidentally, was removed to make way for the infernal "It's a Small World" ride.
Amazingly, there was also an Autopia Junior, bigger than the Midgets, but smaller than the original Autopia cars.
The Midgets were not bad looking little cars, save for the robust but much-needed bumpers.

Penned by the Maestro Himself, Giorgetto Giugiaro, during his stint at Ghia.
If you study this design closely you will see the similarities with his Fiat Dino Coupe done whilst at Bertone - the proportions, front and rear, glass etc. In the metai it actually looked more like the Dino than it does in pictures.

I try to avoid this requests, but since we have a microcar expert on board I'd love to know more about this car.
I know too little to post it as a puzzle and I'd rather have a pic for that.
Do you know it?
I know that is should be Italian, with a 125cc Ducati engine and from 1970.

I hope I'll be more lucky with this one.
I know what it seems (a Lombardi, Sessano, Coggiola...) but can't figure it out in a reasonable amount of time.

The interesting thing about the By The Numbers thread is that one tends to stumble across photos based in the automotive world that are weird, bizarre or just downright stupid. Naturally, you want to share this oddities with friends, but the don't fit in the BTN thread.
What's a fellow to do?
Why, start a new thread, of course, dedicated to the offbeat, the unusual and the just plain ridiculous. Here are a couple of examples:

Here´s a photo I´ve bought recently. It might have been shot by a belgian in Africa around 1950.
the photo shows some text, but I can´t really read it:
-
The name could be "Alaine (Elaine?) D'Aviatia" (D'Avialia?)
A year "1930" is maybe not likely according to the pic above, but possible.
If her name is Aviatia I would say it has to be "Loute" or "Zoute" instead of "Loule".
I don't know if this was of any help... :-\
-
The top left notes by pencil are probably "1 agrand. (=agrandir)" and "1 petite", probably meaning that 1 small and 1 enlarged picture had to be made. The location name must be "Le Zoute" like the famous Belgian spa Knokke-Le Zoute. The year has to be 1950 (look at the Buick in the background). The lady's name is Alaine D ' ?????.
Does anyone know the flag on top of the building?
-
Does anyone know the flag on top of the building?
If it's a national flag, then there are very few that use this device of a diagonal cross. It's a shame it's a black and white photo. However, the left and right triangles look to be a darker tone than the top and bottom ones, and the only national flag I can think of that fits that pattern is of Jamaica.
Could that be a possibility?
-
I think I've found something
more likely...
It could be the flag of the Belgian municipality 'Balen' (belonging to Antwerp)
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/Flag_of_Balen.svg/500px-Flag_of_Balen.svg.png)
or 'Dessel':
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/Flag_of_Dessel.svg/500px-Flag_of_Dessel.svg.png)
or 'Wijnegem':
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/Vlag_wijnegem.gif)
-
My guess would be the former Belgian colony of Burundi.
-
What about the old flag of former Belgian airline Sabena (before 1963) ? The building already reminded me of a small airport terminal.
(http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/images/b/be$sab6x.gif)
-
I was looking for an airfield in the former colonies, but it is indeed in Belgium. I think it is Knokke-Het Zoute airfield:

That's a very standard three-wheeler. I've seen it a couple of times in German traffic,

I think you really can't tell from this picture. Being rather old and neglected, I would go for the Danish Mini-el, especially because most of them were red (as I remember), but that remains speculation.

Just found a photo of the City-El a friend of mine did drive until he´s changed over to a four-wheel Piaggio Mini-Pickup-truck...
He used to drive to his work and back (ca. 30km) in this contraption every day from March to October and I´ve always feared he´ll be rolled over one day by a big truck and smashed to death in this plastic minimalist´s ride.
-
Any one have any ideas on this one? It is for sale locally and I don't think its a 1928 Buick which is what it is listed as. The grill is missing but the wheels don't look the same as a Buick and rounded area by the windshield is pretty distinctive and much more square on the Buick.

Hi,
This car ended up being called the 'CUB', I suppose because it was Alan Fraser's small car project compared to his other 'Monster Tigers'.
The car was delivered to Fraser's as a rolling shell with numerous major design errors which were rectified by a gentleman by the name of John Barton. When completed it was test driven by Ray Calcutt around Hildenborough in Kent.
I believe the car ended up in Tenerife along with some of the Imps / Tigers.

As far as I know there is no direct relationship, although it seems that the ASP, the Cub (as we now know what this car was called), and the Killeen K9, and maybe some others, were all considered for production by Alan Fraser.

Wellcome back!
Beside the dimensions, the radiator's shape is quite distinctive.
I assume you have no other info (where the pic was taken, etc..)

On the other "name that car" sites where this pic was posted (by another long-dormant AutoPuzzles member), it is stated the picture was taken in Flint, MI

Oddly, the only information that I do have is the location of where the photo was taken: Jackson, Michigan.
I have no idea if that is of any help or if it will just throw things off.
I'm not certain what the other name that car site is, but I got it from thecarlounge.com which is more idiotic automotive anarchy than anything else. They certainly don't hold a candle to autopuzzles.com in terms of naming cars.

those are Camaro wheels and the front end looks like a Camaro too. particularly where the fog lights are.

The B-pillar and rear end is also reminiscent of the Gen4 Camaro and the front is reminiscent of the Gen4 Firebird.

See what I'm talking about?
Also, those are earlier Camaro wheels. After 1989, the wheels went from a concave spoke to a flat spoke

There are now 7 pages of contributions, including some from past members here. (Vwlarry, porridgehead etc)
At what point does an infrequent visitor become a 'past member'? ;)

Good question. You'd be in a far better place to define the term than I will ever be. I think vwlarry is a past member. Barry Wolk might be one also. Me, not so much. I'm just a slacker. I'm nothing if not consistent in my inconsistency.

I don't know where the picture was taken, but at first sight I would say it is a German Ford Köln convertible from 1933, the base car being identical to the British Ford Model Y.

The Picture was taken in Germany, seems like this is the car i was searching for.
Vielen Dank Wendax! :)

I can't recognize it, and I don't know if it's worth a puzzle...

I believe it´s a Maserati...

Yes, it should be a 2-litre from 1947...but can't find a matching pic for it.

I hope there are some number plate experts around. I found pictures of an interesting car (perhaps a future puzzle) from the late 50s, early 60s with a number plate I cannot match. Perhaps it is an old Luxemburg plate, but I really don't know. Who can help?
-
Quite a few countries issued plates using a similar format to your question.
For instance pre-war (actually up to 1951) Dutch plates used 1 letter followed by up to 5 numbers in white on a blue background, but I can't see that any district was allocated 'W'. Norwegian plates up to 1971 also used the same format, and 'W' would represent the county of Nordland, except there should be a '-' between the letter and the numbers. Iceland also used the same style but again I can't see that they used 'W'. Portuguese numbers were very similar to the Norwegian ones, but also always had a dash between the letter and the numbers.
It could belong to certain British colonies, or it could indeed be a 1904/1919 British plate from Sheffield, which is perhaps the most likely candidate. It isn't from Luxembourg as you suggest.
I'll keep looking to see if I can see any more information.
-
Could it be Windhoek in South West Africa? The car in question is RHD and the background in one picture would fit South (West) Africa.
-
Could it be Windhoek in South West Africa? The car in question is RHD and the background in one picture would fit South (West) Africa.
Unlikely. South African numbers were up to 3 letters followed by up to 6 numbers. Although provinces were issued with single letter codes these were followed by other letters for more specific towns.
The only code I can see for Windhoek is 'SW'.
If not GB then it could be many colonial countries, such as Singapore (which had one or two letters but the first was always S or E!) They always had the appearance of British plates but usually had fewer letters, although generally just one or two of them (e.g. J for Jamaica) and up to 4 numbers.
Perhaps you can think of a British Colony that started with W? Windward Islands?!
-
Furthermore: Argentinian registrations used white letters on a black background, with a singe letter denoting the region followed by up to 6 numbers.. I don't have a picture of one though so I don't know what the font looked like. 'W' was Corrientes province.
However, you state the car is RHD...
-
The surroundings made me think of South Africa:
-
That looks more an Asian scene to me.
The reg could perhaps be Brunei.
Burma was also white on black, one serial letter followed by 4 numbers - except they used Burmese characters...
Indonesia was also white on black, 1 letter followed by 4 numbers, but there was no W..
Malaysia was exactly the same, and again no W.
I was wrong about the Windward Islands by the way: Each Island had its own code, so WD was Dominica, WG Grenada, WL St Lucia and WV St Vincent!
-
Thank you for your efforts which I appreciate very much, but I was right with my guess: the background building in Windhoek still exists ;D

Lorenz & Rankl Silver Falcon 1987-1991, based on Mercedes S-Klasse
hmm, while I agree that it looks similar, I'm wondering if it's some type of low rent copy based on the Alfa Spider because this doesn't look EXACTLY like this:
http://www.autobild.de/artikel/lorenz-rankl-silver-falcon-44523.html
it looks too narrow and the wheelbase is too small to be an S-class convertible.
The roof isn't right either. The door handles and badge aren't right either. the Lorenz & Rankls have a GIANT grille badge
-
hmm, looks like there were different 'generations' of this?
(http://www.historisch.org/silver_falcon/all_silverfalcon/pl6004-2.jpg)
(http://www.historisch.org/silver_falcon/all_silverfalcon/pl6004-3.jpg)
Though the original picture still doesn't seem to have the right proportions.
His doesn't seem to have the right grille badge... it's got some circular badge on the hood though that looks like a 'C'
This car was spotted in Italy by a friend.
-
the top isn't right either:
(http://www.historisch.org/silver_falcon/galerie/35.jpg)
Also, look at the hood, see how this has a curved edge towards the windshield... it also lacks the 'intake area' at the base of the windshield that the original picture has
this seems to have that intake area:
(http://www.historisch.org/silver_falcon/galerie/17.jpg)
but it's one single slat and not 4
it's also curved across the top
-
It is a Silver Falcon - may be with BMW 3-series engine. And the sign on the hood is like the one pictured below.
-
that doesn't look at all like this badge
-
I think it's a L&R too...
-
so, what is that badge then?
it resembles none of these.
also, none of these have the raised 4-slot cowl intake either.

Who says the owner didn't change the badge?

Is this an NSU-Fiat 500C? Or a simple Fiat 500C? Is this a factory-fitted trunk or home-made?
-
Looking at the shape of the hood I would say it is not even a 500 C as that one had a different side line. I think this is a private attempt to make an old Topolino look like a 500 C up front as well as add some luggage space at the back.
-
Take note of the boot lid hinges near the bumper :D
-
I agree: the rear part, between the rear fenders and the boot lid, is clearly from a first generation Topolino.
An odd and interesting attempt to have it looking like a 500 C.

Hello, my first post.
This one is causing some frustration.
It's badged 'Furia' and was registered in Northamptonshire 1977/8
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7118/7577992282_5a027e97c0_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertgrounds/7577992282/)
Furia - ID This car ? (http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertgrounds/7577992282/)
-
Never seen or heard of that one before.... ???
-
Never seen or heard of that one before.... ???
It seems to have everybody guessing. As it's not too old this surprises me.
Somebody out there must be able to ID it, especially as it has the name Furia on the side.
I can find no links to the Brazilian Furia.
-
On some other threads where this is posted, there is speculation that its a Photoshop picture. Looking at the window reflections, I suspect that may be the case. If it's real, it could be either a re-work of Toni Bianco's later Alfa-based Furia, or perhaps a sequel.
-
I don't think it's a Photoshop.
Certainly some Trevor Fiore there, Fissore/Monteverdi/Trident influence, HB Viva at the back maybe. RHD wipers, RWD, aluminium body from the bonnet (possibly fibreglass?), pop-up lights (the round ones look like afterthoughts), windscreen surround is unusual but I can't place it. Badge on the wing looks like it says Furi*, or does it start with a "P"? Doesn't look quite like it was built in someone's garage but the front seems better resolved than the back.
My guess would be a one-off.
-
Looking a little closer it does seem like it could be a photoshop, although a very convincing one - two things that would back that up:
1 - If you found an unusual, clearly bespoke 1970s GT car abandoned somewhere you would surely take multiple photographs of it from every angle, or at the very least one showing the rear aspect as well?
2 - The registration is not on the DVLA database. There are many reasons for this to happen so can never be proof of anything, but the most likely being that the car was off the road and untaxed at the time the DVLA moved over to a computerised database in 1983 and has never been on the road since, which would mean this was only on the road for 5/6 years. If it really is what it appears to be - a professionally made bespoke high-end GT car, this seems unlikely to me.
Again, not proof of anything, but something to think about at least
-
From elsewhere - this is a satellite image of the car from Bing maps:

On some other threads where this is posted, there is speculation that its a Photoshop picture.
Agree. The "vents' on the c-pillar and the light reflections are wrong, the proportions are odd and you won't find another angle of this car on the whole internet
-
I don't think it's a Photoshop.
The reflections in the building's windows = gray and overcast
The reflections in the car's windows = blue sky with white puffy clouds.
-
Another detail that speaks for a rendering: the single lights which build a pair of twin headlamps are absolutely identical on each side. Note the high lights!
A common 'copy and paste' practice of lazy artists.
You don't see that in reality:

Someone has gone to a lot of effort (even faking the satellite picture).
The side window reflection does look a bit bright, but the house windows are shaded by the eaves and have opaque glass.

You wouldn't see the entire car from the satellite's view considering the car's parking position. The roof of the house would hide at least a third I think.
-
I'd like to see a shot of the house on Google maps, which is a MUCH higher resolution than the Bing map. Next time the chap who posted it is online on Pistonheads you (Trommel) should request a copy of this within, say 10 minutes - more than enough time to take a screenshot and upload it to the web, but not enough time to make a convincing enough p'shop!

No idea where it's supposed to be.
On reflection (and a bigger screen) it's a bit fishy. Looks like it has been outside for years yet the tyres are still fully inflated, as much moss growing under the car as around it etc.

How did somebody get a Bing satellite shot without a location?

I believe the person who started this off said that it's his g/friends parent's house & posted the satellite shot.

I believe it's photoshop.

Arunas,
Enterprise (GB) 1983-84
Chameleon Car Co, South Kensington, London
Coming from a company whose main trade was customising Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz models, the Enterprise F16 was an extremely bold attempt to revolutionise luxury saloon car motoring. Over a tubular space frame chassis, its aerodynamic 4-door bodywork was in Kevlar - the first 'production' car to use this material exclusively - and featured photo-electric cells in the roof to absorb sunlight to charge the battery. A sophisticated specification included Ferguson 4-wheel drive, ABS and a turbocharged V8 engine. After a showing at the 1983 Geneva Motor Show, a price of 42,000 pounds was announced but production never began.

Was it / is it a puzzle somewhere?

I don't know if anyone can help me with this but.
I am looking for a car that i saw it was a modern day version of a fiat jolly it had all the elements of a jolly the roof everything. I am pretty sure it wasn't a castagna fiat. I am not sure if it was modern fiat based or not. All I remember was that it was modern it was grey in color it had a roof and the picture I saw it looked like the car was at sometype of show the cars front was pointing towards the left of the screen. i would defintely recognize it if i saw it again. If anyone can help me.

I only know the castgna conversions of the current Fiat 500 - without and with roof (and both are electric):

I already suggested via PM the Fiat Panda Jolly by Stola:

Right!
I´ve forgotten about this one....
-
ya it's neither one of those. it wasn't fiat based it was another car that had all the elements of a jolly it was at a autoshow or salon of somekind it was indoors. What other cars are their that look like a jolly

is their a topic anywhere on autopuzzles about beach cars

Can anyone identify the small sports car on the left in this photo?
It was taken in Germany - date unknown

I'm sure I saw this before!
(I know it won't help much...)
-
Unfortunately I haven't seen this one before, so just some thoughts from me. At first sight one is tempted to say that it is another VW Kübelwagen based private one-off, but the wheels don't look VW to me. What I can't really identify is the bulge above the license plate. Is there a single headlight or just a sign? Is it an air intake for a front engine? The round objects besides the license plate look like horns. It seems as if the windscreen wiper axles go through the glass what is quite uncommon on German cars. For the year the picture was taken I would think of 1951/52 going by the VWs, the Fiat 1400 Cabriolet and the license plates. The location probably in the Southwestern part of Germany, as the (hard to identify) first letters on the plate don't look like AB for Bavaria.

If anyone can help me.
Maybe this one?

No not that one either. Maybe I was mistaken and it's not modern. Maybe older much older. I would like to thank everyone for their help. I know that I can always get expert help here on autopuzzles

Also if the license plate will help identify this car. Maybe post some pic's of other period license plates maybe we can decipher it.
From the end of WW2 to 1956 the German license plates were of the type AB 12-3456, where the first letter was on top of the other one, depicting the occupation zone (A = American, B = British, F = French, S = Soviet), white letters on black plate. A list can be found here:

Last guess for rosenbergm: Fiat Fiorino Portofino (made by Mr. Vernagallo) and Fiat Panda Marrakesh (made by I.De.A. for Centro Stile Fiat).
I don't know other Italian modern jollies.

no its not these either. i might have been mistaken when i said it was modern. it might be older much older. But i thank u for everything

Unfortunately I haven't seen this one before, so just some thoughts from me. At first sight one is tempted to say that it is another VW Kübelwagen based private one-off, but the wheels don't look VW to me. What I can't really identify is the bulge above the license plate. Is there a single headlight or just a sign? Is it an air intake for a front engine? The round objects besides the license plate look like horns. It seems as if the windscreen wiper axles go through the glass what is quite uncommon on German cars. For the year the picture was taken I would think of 1951/52 going by the VWs, the Fiat 1400 Cabriolet and the license plates. The location probably in the Southwestern part of Germany, as the (hard to identify) first letters on the plate don't look like AB for Bavaria.
Thanks Wendax - some interesting thoughts there.
Unfortunately I can't remember where I'd downloaded this photo from :'(
I tried to enhance and enlarge it but with mixed results -
I'm sure I have this pic somewhere.
It's not in my folder of unidentified cars and it's a good sign.
I hope I did not see this pic in a forum and did not download it because there were no info...
Not a Denzel?
-
The Denzel had its headlights narrower together.
-
I thought it could some Gomolzig...
-
I thought at CAM too, but can't find it.
-
Here are views of an early Denzel (1), Gomolzig (2) and CAM II (3) for comparison -

first i want to i hope everyone enjoyed their new years. A happy and a heath to all on autopuzzles.
I was wondering if anyone can help me. Their was is a car i believe either a Rolls Royce, Duesenberg, Maybe a Packard or Cadillac that had it's normal Hood Ornament (Ex: Spirit Of Ecstacy) removed and replaced with something else does anyone know of any it might have been for a certain wealth individual or special person. It's not a modern Rolls Royce for sure this time. This isn't a puzzle question if anyone was going to ask
Happy New Year To All

You will find more than one car with that kind of personalized hood ornaments. Amongst the most valuable are the crystal hood ornaments done by the Art Nouveau artist Réné Lalique. I've attached an example, an Auburn with a crystal lady.
-
If you do a google image search for "lalique radiator mascots" you'll find a ton of 'em. They're almost an automotive genre unto themselves. And they ain't cheap!

I don't know any of these cars, but I can give a little help for the second one: the "H" at the end of the license plate (= historic vehicle license) shows that the car has to be older than 30 years.

Judging by the license plate and the rear camber it could well be a Renault Dauphine-based one-off ("proto" doesn't mean that it has to be a factory prototype). It is from the Département Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.

My doubts refer to that rather mid seventies/eighties fake-Countach design. Why should someone equip it with such an old and dull engine*?
* I know.. esp. on that place are many examples of such oddities..
-
There were Beetle-based Countach replicas, an even older design. Dauphines were cheap raw material, could easily and efficiently be tuned, and already had the rear engine layout.

I give up on this one. I've spent days on it...and can't ID it, although I've found that it competed in the 1899 Tour de France.
Any help?
tnx,
-
According to a Jalopy Journal thread it's an Amédée Bollée fils, driven by Étienne Giraud on the 1899 Tour de France. This 1899 Amédée Bollée fils car was a 20 hp 6.3 litre 4-cylinder, and the design was also licensed to De Dietrich, back then still a German manufacturer.

Bone is the old name of the city of what is now called Annaba, in Algeria
-
Where is Bone supposed to be a reply to?
-
An interesting car, but only one picture from imageshack is showing up.
I've found a sales advertisement, though. The car seems to have had some other badge - possibly a writing on a very edge of its nose. The chassis plate reads F.Merlin, Bone. I thought it could be a carrozzeria name and the city of origin, but now I'm not sure. The are two cities named Bone that I've found - in Indonesia and at Philippines, both seem to be not what we are looking for. But in France there is Bonne. We also have chassis number (4062) and engine type (P80), which didn't help me yet. Another plate, on the engine, says 'Autobleu-Marine, Paris'. I know where Paris is, but what Autobleu-Marine could mean?
The wheel covers look rather Darl'Mat to me, I'd say, and the rear end too.
P.S. The badge looks similar.
Ah Voisin, I found it. A message from 2009 (!). No wonder I did not understand the context. If a message is that old, (it is already "old" if it is not on the last page of the forum topic) you can use the quote button to reply. The difference is that you will include the old message you're replying to.

Ah..clear, I was just thinking that picture name was given by you - it suggests 70s.
I suppose it's Zolder. Also a Glas in the background might be aclue. If there was a racing number on the car, it could help very much, but there's none. Not even sure whether it's a race or some sort of gathering :(
-
The sponsoring at the back is of radio maker SBR (Société Belge Radio-Electrique) so I believe it is a Belgian circuit.

Well, like I said, looks pretty much like Zolder - there are some pics which you can G**gle and compare :)

1948 Fiat Special Botticella; S/N 7188 Offered at Bonhams in 2010
Lot # S157 1948 Fiat Special Botticella; S/N 7188; Silver-Grey/Red leatherette; Competition car, original as-raced, 3- condition; Not sold at Hammer bid of $40,000 -- RHD. Jaeger tach, Sacma gauges, cycle fenders that don't match the paint, Marchal driving lights on stalks plus lights inside the grille and turn signals, dual Plexi aeroscreens, 4-spoke woodrim steering wheel, chrome wire wheels, 4-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Looks real to me. Towed onto the field and hood doesn't open, as much as I poked and prodded under the cowl and around the grille. Purportedly has a Cisitalia chassis tag somewhere and was offered in 1992 or so by the old Auto Toy Store in Ft. Lauderdale. No one, it's safe to say, at Mecum's Monterey auction had any idea what this was, including me. It might be a Mille Miglia eligible Cisitalia botticella. Then again, it might be a bunch of parts assembled many years ago in some Italian barn. It's one of those things that makes attending auctions an adventure. Oh, for Raymond Milo, who would have been able to quote chapter and verse on it. Whatever it is it didn't have enough traction to find a buyer.

I just found this lovely roadster on Flickr, labeled as a 1927 Fiat 509 Spider. Overall the styling seems closer to 1930, and in 1927 the Fiat radiator emblem was round, not rectangular. Can this be a Fiat, or is it something else?

Definitely not a 509 (which was a compact-car). I'd say a Fiat 524.

That certainly looks like the car. Around 2010 the body was sold to Bohuslav Klein. I understand it was to be restored on a reproduction chassis (possibly a T44 chassis), with a different front. If anyone else can confirm this is the same car, these might be good images to add to the solved puzzle.

beutler?
Thanks. It was one of the companies I had considered but could not find a match. Now you have made me look deeper, although no match, there are certain characteristics that occur. Beutler were coach builders so could be a one-off. The rear louvers are horizontal so this could a Volkswagen derivative rather than a Porsche. Any other thoughts much appreciated. Regards

According to the Standard Catalogue this car was built in 1935 by Allen M. Hoppe and Allyn F. Streur (or Streut) from Hollywood. Perhaps one E.F. Hunter Jr. was involved, too. A six-cylinder of unknown origin was used.

I received an email from a friend this morning. He asked me if I know this car. A friend from Japan requested him to help and that's what he told him:
It's probably a car which was sold in low numbers in France with VW engine. Not a Devin. Apparently the car on the pic was exported to Japan, that's all he knows!
Very scarce details, but dammit we are the best mystery-car-community in the world! :D

Egy-Tech would make a good first guess. Google it. You will find an Egyption made 3-wheeler. This might've been a prototype?

Not me. It looks VW-based though.
Perhaps a scrapyard is the best place for it..!
But what's an Opel GT doing in a scrapyard? How could they?!

If anyone can identify it perhaps they could PM me, then I will post it as a puzzle.

I think it was asked elsewhere too. It is, from what I understand, an old VW with a Porsche-style kitcar body, apparently Dutch-made.

There was an italian 3-wheeler, body paint in two tones, quite aerodinamic shape (like a Fiat 1500) from the 30s.
It was a sort of commercial vehicle (closed bodywork and no side windows). The name should be F.B. but I can't find it back.
I don't know if it's been solved already or is one of the sleeping puzzles I can't see no-more.
Is there anyone who can find it back?

Can anyone tell me more about this car ? I had it as a puzzle a while ago and it is still intriguing me. According to my source it is a Bugatti taken during a Swiss hill climb event in 1949. It doesn't really look like a Bugatti, but of course you never know. I believe it is coach built looking at the quality of the body work. Any ideas ?

-
I am working on a photo spread of "railcars" that I will post here and I have one image I cannot positively identify.
This vehicle was used on the Danish National Railway postwar and the historic website I got it from cannot identify it either.
The grille has very strong BMW heritage outlines (the kidneys) but I think it is either a British vehicle or perhaps a "custom" vehicle.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bill
-
The front of the railcar seems to be a Ford Anglia. I haven't seen many images of a 4-door version though.
-
Hi Cuda:
I think you nailed the basic vehicle. The grille is a perfect match including the match up to the hood. The fenders work as do the headlamp mountings
What threw me off are the hood louvers and the windscreen. But of course, the whole body is coach built so perhaps the rest of it is as well.
Silly me, I was chasing Standards, Hillmans, Morris and all sorts of other sort of 8 HP British vehicles and never even thought of Ford. Thanks...........

Unfortunately not. However, Auto Italiana records it as a "coupe". so I'm not so confident that Pattaro & Pesce's Bugatti can actually be the one in your picture, but it's strange to have two newly coacbuilt Bugattis close to Switzerland in the same moment... I hope some Bugatti expert can help us.

In my records I've a Bugatti bodied by Pattaro & Pesce from Mirano (Varese, very close to Switzerland) and shown at the Lido di Venezia concourse d'elegance in 1950. Could be this car? Does anybody know more?
Interesting, do you have a pic of your car ?
Unfortunately not. However, Auto Italiana records it as a "coupe". so I'm not so confident that Pattaro & Pesce's Bugatti can actually be the one in your picture, but it's strange to have two newly coacbuilt Bugattis close to Switzerland in the same moment... I hope some Bugatti expert can help us.
And that's the problem. I've sent a photo of the mystery car to the Bugatti Trust Archives, and they don't know anything about it. They have very complete records of all chassis made, and what happened to them, and they still cannot help to identify it. It makes me wonder whether it's actually a Bugatti, or whether it has been incorrectly captioned on the photograph.

Did you ask the Swiss Car Register? They are a very helpful bunch (unlike the Bugatti Trust which was a complete a** to me)
-
Sorry, images were too big and I don't know how to edit just images.
Can anyone ID this micro car? It was captured/impressed by the Germans in what seems to be a non combat area judging by the lack of military registration, headlamp mods etc. It is from one of the military history sites where I do a lot of ID work on mostly ex civilian vehicles for photo collectors.
I think it it British judging from the style of tyres and wheels but a lot of time spent on micro car sites led nowhere.

It's a Moretti Elettrocarro converted in combustion engine in - I think - 1946.

Hi etelemiskolczi,
welcome to Autopuzzles.
Thare was already such a request for that car in a different topic...I merged them
It's very interesting but no one has got a clue so far...do you have any clue?
-
Oh, I see. No, I don't have any clue, but the man reminds me to Ernest Hemmingway, but it's not sure...
-
Hi! Please help! Thank you!
-
That's a Troublemaker CAT.
Seriously, I can't see the point of having 2 people with the handlebars unless it's a training vehicle or a special vehicle for some sort of exercises.
EDIT: given the probable military nature of the vehicle, and the fact that the right 'driver' is actually a passenger, it can be a sort of quick vehicle to transport something that has to be used by 2 men...
-
Hi all,

It's a lucky guess, but it's not a Rolls-Royce from 1925? OK, I know, the freont and the end are not the same, but the others...
-
This thing is/was sitting in Museo Panini right next to Maserati Chubasco.
Any ideas what is that? Clearly mock-up for another Maserati, but what is the story behind it? Another Chubasco proposal?
-
Moulds for the Maserati Barchetta?
-
I thought about that, but it looks like a coupe... Or is it the nature of moulds?

Well, that explains everything. :D Thanks.

Any idea on this?
EDIT: I think I found it but I'd like to see your opinion.
I have the name of the man at he wheel and some other details that match with a different car.
-
I should know the car too, but it slips my mind for the moment.
However, did you note the man leaning on the car has a cigarette in his hand.
In today's anti-smoking environment that photo would never be published in a Public Relations piece.
Bill
-
Hi! Please help! Thank you!
I don't know what the history of this particular bike is, but I can tell it's based on a WLA Harley. That might narrow down your search a bit.
-
The license plate on the Harley is from Pirna, Saxony Germany if that is any help.
Perhaps a German member can find the person that J 440 is registered to and contact them.
Bill
-
Sorry, but there is no way for a normal citizen to find the owner of a license plate in Germany.
-
Probably better that way. With all the NSA scandals over here, I wonder if we will start to shut down on the availability of personal information almost anyone can get on anyone here.
However, the bike is obviously restored and I would bet the owner belongs to one or more Harley Davidson Enthusiast clubs in Germany and that may be another avenue. Copy the pic and send it to the website of the club asking for details on the bike.
Over time, I have solved a lot of mysteries this way dealing with English speaking clubs.
Bill
-
Here's another old photo, this time I put it here instead of a standalone puzzle (maybe that will come later)
Do you recognise the brand?
-
The car, and a pretty one it is, is a 1932 Studebaker, either a Commander or a President 8.
Very distinctive headlamps. It has also been featured here in another form as a quiz.
Bill
-
Thanks
-
Here's another one. Any ideas? Thanks
-
That's a Renault, probably a Novaquatre.
-
thanks
-
After some closer looks into Réné Bellu' "Toutes les Renault" I tend to say that it is a 1938 Renault Celtaquatre.
-
Looks very familiar.. Did anyone here post it as a puzzle?
-
OK, this is not a car but a Propaganda/Sound truck but it is quite stylish you will have to admit,
This truck has been the subject of "What is it" posts on several military and historic truck forums for over 7 years now and has never been identified. It has been described as a Czech truck and also as German/Austrian. This photo shows it in a civilian setting, there is another photo showing it in a military setting, presumably somewhat later. Found it and posting it.
If anyone here can ID this one there are several forums that would be forever in your debt and credit will be given.
Bill
-
Life really is strange sometimes..............
5 minutes after I posted this question, I was looking up posts by another member and ran across a quiz thread that we both posted on. One I had forgotten...........
Lo and Behold, the quiz vehicle has exactly the same front end/bumper configuration as my mystery truck but the chassis was never identified.
In any case, the body on my vehicle seems to have been made by Gaubschat, which would make the vehicle German pretty much for sure. I will continue looking but if anyone knows the chassis for the photo below, that might solve my mystery.
Bill
-
I believe the car in the background is a NAG. Do you agree?
-
The white car is a plaster mockup made by Moretti and never developed. But can anyone identify the show where this picture was taken?
Addiotnal infos are welcome, as I've a lot of photos of this cars but none is captioned, so we are not able to say anything more on this project.
-
HI! Who is the manufacturer of this car? thank you!
-
HI! Who is the manufacturer of this car? thank you!
I know more than one having done such a job... If italian, I'd say Cars International (that was actually a delaer, whilst the conversion was made by Carrozzeria Gavello), if German could be Pop. Are you able to read the nationality from the license-plate frame?
-
The background looks German: there is a ATW Charly, and the Ligier Ambra has a 25 km/h sticker.
But I don't think that it is a Pop, because all Pop convertibles I know have cut out doors.
-
Is this really a Delahaye? Did they produce buses?
-
Yes, they did.

Thank you, it was my 1st thought too, but it's not that. :(
The 2 cars are from 2 different countries and Varela was quite known for the writer of the article where I found the mistery car...
-
I found a web page which refers to the mystery car as "Dauphine-Alfa Romeo". And they refer back to an Italian magazine. I have found both a magazine scan with "Dauphine-Alfa Romeo" under an image of the mystery car, as well as an some text in Italian describing the car.
-
Yes, I have those articles and my pics comes from there...but unfortunately the car is still a mistery!
-
I have this car as Delage 8 made by Paul Jaray. I am looking forward to getting a confirmation together with more information about his car. Thank You!
Google Image Search gives another description : Duesenberg Delage from 1934 ("Inspirationen Durch Aerodynamik, Flugzeugbau und Bootsbau" - Torsten Kanitz)

Please help me identifying the cars on these pictures.
One of them is a prewar car, a bit fuzzy
The other one is post 1945 and features a Mercedes and a strange VW Beetle. It is not a Kohlruss Volkswagen.
Thanks
-
The prewar car is a Praga Baby, see below.
The VW is obviously a privately rebodied Kübelwagen, made to look like a Beetle. You can see some more Kübelwagen in the background.
-
Thanks for the assistance. Yes, the guy who ran this shop started his activities in 1945 by repairing old Kübelwagens. Interesting remark about the rebody - I think the family made a mistake here. They claim the attached was the Kübelwagen turned into VW Beetle. However this looks like a stock Beetle to me
-
CP 848 surely is a stock VW.
-
Any idea about this one?
I remember those back lights but can't find them back!
And while you are here....the other one shoud be easier...

Does anyone know what this voiture sans permis is please? I took this photo about 12 years ago in Nimes, in the south of France, but I could not see any marque or model identification on the car at all, and it still remains a mystery to me today.

The car is equipped with a Marelli movable roof, but according to Salvetti (in the book Curiosalfa) it's not known who added it to the car, maybe Touring itself...

Ah, thank you Iluvatar, I thought it might be Touring itself as well. May be we will never know!

Another mystery for me.
Has anyone any idea what this orange car is please? It is British, and clearly based on a Mini, but beyond that, I have no idea, so any help very welcome.
-
It's registered with DVLA as a "Minimouse", colour orange, 848 cc, date of registration 3 September 1974. It's currently unlicensed, last renewal due August 2011.
I've no idea about it apart from that, I'm afraid.
-
It has exactly same badge as this one: http://www.minimarcos.org.uk/altpics/mouse/index.html.

Ah ha, another form of a Mini Mouse. Thank you for the information Gentlemen, it's much appreciated.
-
A museum in Florida has an example of that particular style of Mini Mouse. Google for
dezer "mini mouse"
-
The folks on another well-known forum are having trouble identifying this car from an old period photo. The setting is the town square at La Chartre-sur-Lois, and this image is an enlarged section of the photo. Personally I think it's a handbuilt Panhard-based special - does anyone know more?
-
I thought it might help if you could all see the original photo, which also gives a sense of proportional size. Come on AP members - our reputation is at stake. The other forum seem to think it will only be a short time before they get an answer from us.
-
Looks a bit like a DB-Panhard with an elongated front and back, though not quite an identical cabin..

Ein fescher Riederberg-Rennkibitz.
What does it mean? Is there anyone who can translate it better than me & Google?
-
Riederberg is a racetrack near Vienna, fesch is an Austrian word for attractive, Kiebitz is a bird (Northern lapwing in English, pavoncella in Italian), Rennen means race. So literally it is an attractive Riederberg race bird, probably a nice looking small racing car.
-
Thank you...not enough for a puzzle.
Here you are the pic:
-
I guess that 'Kiebitz' translation Wendax provided could also mean something different. The verb "kiebitzen" means something like "to peep" or "to peek". So, he (the driver) is maybe only a spectator of that race. (jokingly meant)
Mr. Jaray: now you have 17.000 posts on your account! That's worth a bottle of champaign, isn't it? :drink: :shiner:

Hello I am trying to identify a car I don't have a picture but I know I saw it on jay leno's garage I am pretty sure he was at pebble beach or some other show or gathering. It was a old fashioned type roadster open wheel. I don't think it was la bestioni because it wasn't a video by itself the video had other cars as well it was custom it wasn't the magnolia special either if I saw a picture I would recognize it. I know it's not a lot to go on but since they redid jay leno's website I can't find the video anymore. I am leaving more towards that the car was at pebble beach or Laguna seca
But I am not 100%. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like the Blastolene...

No it wasn't one of jay's personal cars it was somebody else's and it didn't come to his garage he was at a show like pebble beach or some other gathering

It looks like a Hanomag Kurier, probably left in Russia at the end of WW2 and modified over the years to keep it running. Engine and axles are probably of Russian origin now, Moskvich or similar.

Aha! Thats really close! Never heard of Hanomag before, but defiantly on the right track. The hood vents seem off though, so a bit of Googleing suggests that its the Hanomag Rekord.

For sure, I didn't notice the louvers. Besides the different bonnet for a larger engine, Kurier and Rekord used the same pressed steel body, the Ambi-Budd Jupiter.

Hi All,

If I remember correctly it was a rear end shown in the puzzle photo. I don't know whose puzzle it is/was, perhaps Quiller's but I cannot find it anywhere.

Can anyone here ID this car?
It is posted in a military history forum I belong to in their "vehicles to identify" thread (no points, just thanks) and I cannot figure out what it is. It looks to me like a Benz/Mercedes/Daimler of around 1925 but it has LHD and most luxury cars of that era had RHD.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS, sorry for the watermark but that is what photo collectors do.
Bill
-
I wonder if it might be an AGA, made in Berlin, 1919-26. They seemed to favour these angular mudgards on their earlier models, and the radiator looks about right. It's not a great picture, but the one below is a 1921 model, and has similar bodywork. There are more pictures around online, but this this one seemed to be the closest match for body style.
-
Hi Tom:
Thanks very much for your efforts and I think you may have the answer.
15 minutes or so on Google.de resulted in photos of a lot of very similar vehicles.
Including, a few of examples apparently exported to the Netherlands that were LHD which may solve a hangup as the German examples all seem to be RHD.
I will keep looking and report anything more I come up with here.

Hello Autopuzzlers,
It's been a while, but some of you might remember me, you poor unfortunate souls.
I've got a bit of a tricky one, though this group has a tendency to redefining just what is truly tricky. Still, it may be a challenge. Or not.
The only thing I know is that it made history a while ago (within past 50 years) and that it was created for a very specific purpose, one that it achieved. Beyond that, I have nothing other than some half-formed observations, a few hazy recollections, hints as-yet unexamined and woefully ill-developed thoughts. And my lunch is now cold.
-
Welcome back!!!!
-
Any idea what this is? From the image of the bare chassis, it appears to use a transverse-engined FWD setup mounted behind the driver, to make a mid-engined trike. Outside photos were taken in or near West Virginia.

Beyond that, I have nothing other than some half-formed observations, a few hazy recollections, hints as-yet unexamined and woefully ill-developed thoughts. And my lunch is now cold.
Long time no see - hope all is well in heck! I think that's the tub from a Ford GT40.

Thank you for finding that information, Arunas. Can it really be a "tilter"? In the video showing this trike on a twisty road, it doesn't appear to lean.
There are 3 or 4 videos of this trike, but I can't find any information about what powers it. I've seen a picture of the complete front suspension, but I still don't understand how it works.
-
Impressive indeed. The answer certainly puts the hint into context. I probably should have known what it was but I'm a wee bit out of practice in the game of puzzling autos.
Thank you!

I know they've been already here, but can't find them back:
Any idea?

The first is this one: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=27412

2nd one should be familiar to Arunas, probably.

Great...thank you!
Since my HD broke down I still have few pics to restore.
Grazie!

Any idea on the car?
-
Not really, but seems to be an Italian body on a VW chassis.
-
VW? Yes, certainly, but Italian body...?
-
The picture was taken in Italy (Reschensee, Lago di Resia) and the license plate looked Italian to me, with an upright oval containing the I for Italy next to it. But the Italian body is just a guess after all.
-
The Reschensee/Lago di Resia is very close to the Austrian border, so the car could easily have come from either Italy or Austria. I wouldn't have thought four people would go long-distance touring in a car like this, but you never know.
I have seen this photo on a forum where someone has identified it as a Fiat 600 Jolly by Ghia, but it very obviously isn't one of those. Apart from anything else, according to Getty Images the photo was taken in August 1953. The wheels certainly look like VW, and the proportions are about right. It's an odd-looking thing - not much in the way of style about it. It almost looks like a military scout car, but I can't place it at all. The back seats seem to be higher up than the front ones, but I don't know if that's significant. I can't see why there would be any reason for that in a VW floorpan.
-
I'll try to limit such requests but still have some pics to fix.
If you recognize it and it's not a repost, I'll make a puzzle...if it is, can you please tell me what is this? It's driving me mad, it's so familiar but I can't match it with a name!
-
You know, Alfas are not my best field of expertise... Can you help me, please, to identify the car on the right? Picture taken at the 1948 Turin Motor Show, if it can help.

I've never seen this one... obviously it should be a 2500, and looking at the cars on the side maybe by Ghia...
-
Not in Ghia's Catalogue Raisonee...I checked Bertone too and it's not there either.
-
The 2 cars in the middle are by Vignale (Fiat 1100 & Lancia Aprilia). But I don't believe that the fourth is also Vignale (no reference of any Vignale Ala 6C) whilst the first should be Fiat 1100 by Francis Lombardi. So a mixed display.
I tought it would have been easy... But if you don-t know either, it justifies why I spend a whole evening without results...

75america is the Alfa Romeo expert, but he isn't here very often. Maybe you send him a PM
-
I thought I had posted this here before but apparently I did not.
This is a 1939 Chevrolet limousine/hire car/taxi from Sweden. It is said to be one of a small series built by a
Swedish coach builder. One example was supposed to have been supplied to the Swedish Royal Family fleet.
Note... It is not a normal Chevrolet Imperial!!
The front door seems to come from a 4 door sedan of that year, the middle passenger door is identical to the Imperial model of that year but the rear window is identical to the 2 door coach of that year and much larger than that found on the Imperial.
I am trying to help a Swedish fellow who's friend owns the car and wishes to restore it. They would like to know who built it originally. It ended it's service in Middle Sweden as a school bus but no one seems to know anything about it and I have
posted the photos on a number of sites with no result.
Perhaps one of our coach builder experts or one of our Swedish members can tell us more about the car.
Thanks for any assistance.
Bill
-
You surely mean Chrysler not Chevrolet, don´t you?
-
No Sir:
Other photos show a body plate "Body by Fisher" and other indications of "General Motors Nordiska AB".
Definitely a 1939 Chevrolet, one of a very few bodied by this as yet unknown body builder.
Bill
-
Sorry for the unqualified question...
Hope you will be able to find out more one day.

The 2 cars in the middle are by Vignale (Fiat 1100 & Lancia Aprilia). But I don't believe that the fourth is also Vignale (no reference of any Vignale Ala 6C) whilst the first should be Fiat 1100 by Francis Lombardi. So a mixed display.

Ooopss... Lancia and Fiat are not by Ghia... :-[
I've never seen that Alfa... it reminds me of similar cabriolets by Pinin Farina... but also the Ghia Supergioiello cars... I guess it could be a Ghia or a P.F.... but I really don't know... I'll try to check some books...
-
Why not? Vignale Stand, it can be a 6C 2500 by them in my opinion.
-
Actually, looking at the flower boxes on the floor, the 3 cars look together. It would be a great discover. I'll dig it more.
-
After further researches... the Alfa 2500 is not in the Anselmi 2500 book nor in the Fucina 2300-2500 book...
Another possible guess is Boneschi...
If it's Vignale stand it's great!
-
The book "Vignale con Michelotti designer" doesn't help...
-
Could the Alfa be a Castagna design ? There are similarities with other cars bodied by them.
-
Hello,
I try to send an answer and a picture of the car but what I see is:: You already submitted this post! You might have accidentally double clicked or tried to refresh the page
The right answer is Alfa Romeo 2500 Vignale. The picture was made at the salon in Torino 1948

here are some pictures
-
Thanks. I basically agree with you, but the source you are quoting - Fornai's book - is normally all but reliable: not enough to be considered a confirmation. The evidence is that the car is in Vignale's booth, but unfortunately there are no real evidence that he made the body, as it doesn't appear anywhere else. Another period captioned picture would confirm, if any xsists.

I believe I found the car that you requested more information on,it was called the Scrimp, or nicknamed as such,was built by Wilkinson Automotive Developments in Hertfordshire in 1965-66.It was commissioned by Alan Fraser,he apparently had commissioned several prototypes at the time,his chosen car was designed by Tom Killeen.Mr. Wilkinson had a small number of staff working for him at the time.The car was delivered to Mr. Fraser as a non runner. the information I have mentions that one of his engine people made the engine to run backwards,as the Imp engine and the box was reversed in the car (mid engine instead of rear engine),the car had a steel monocoque chassis with aluminum panels.The wheels were Hillman imp,the rear lights were Hillman hunter. The car was done in british racing green.,also the car apparently never had an official name,but nicknamed Scrimp.
-
Can't add more detail about the Scrimp, but I did have dealings with Brian Wilkinson in the mid-1960s and remember the business of having the engine converted to run backwards. Now, as then, I cannot understand why it was done that way rather than inverting the gearbox/final drive.
This photo (which was part of an early puzzle of mine) shows the converted pigsty in Steeple Morden where Wilkinson worked.
-
They say this was photographed at a car show in Mexico City in 1992, anyone knows more?
-
this car looks to be paul schutt,s home-built,called six-wheels from somewhere in Germany,if my memory serves me right?

Thanks for sharing Allan, that is Ogle's 1500 right?

Would anybody have an idea what this 'Mercedes 220' would be? I saw it at a local carshow a few weeks back, but couldn't find any information for it. The owner didn't even have any papers on it, he found it in a shed ...
My guess is that's it a rebuild Lancia Aurelia B20 Coupé ...
-
Is the negative camber at the rear axle usual for Aurelias? Or is there a Mercedes axle (or more) underneath?
It is certainly a private Lancia-Mercedes mix.

And in the first picture it's photographed in front of the same ex-pigsty as my Ogle!
Just a bit further to the left.
-
Do you recognise the badge? Thanks
-
I also attended the Antwerp classic car show a couple of weeks ago Delorean, and like you, I spotted the strange Lancia-Mercedes coupe cocktail, and took some almost identical photos.
From what i understand, c.1960 the owner of the Aurelia B20 - a Brussels-based pharmacist - suffered mechanical problems with the Lancia, so swopped its running gear for the stronger and more reliable Mercedes-Benz 220 to make a rather unusual marriage.
-
Does anyone know (and ideally have proof of) what this car is please?
It was found abandoned in Glasgow, Scotland, in the early 1990s. It possibly uses a Mini or Hillman Imp engine, either rear or mid-mounted, and around three examples are believed to have been made. Beyond that, I don't know much more, so any extra information will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
-
Going ahead with Vignale book... This is a picture from their archive, supposed to be a "Vauxhall Viva De Luxe prototype". I'm not an expert enough of those (non Italian) cars. Can anyone, please, help me telling what's special in this car?
Thanks.
-
I bought one of those as my very first car - a 1966 Viva SL. This one seems to have very little styling input. There appears to be a lot more chrome, and fancy wheel trims with whitewalls. Apart from that, it looks like a standard model to me. Oh, and the metallic paint would not have been available from the factory.
I'm surprised Vignale got involved in this. Do you think GM asked them to see what they could come up with for a possible "top of the range" model? They don't seem to have bothered to do much, unless the interior has been restyled.
-
The picture are filed as taken in 1965 in Vignale factory (see the lot of Fiat 850 coupe Vignale in the background of the interior photo), so it could indeed be a reaearch prototype for GM, if the regular car was introduced later.
Here you see the other 2 of the series.
-
The HA Viva was built from 1963-1966. This is a photo of the SL model, just like the one I owned, and there do appear to be differences in the rear wings (more rounded) and the frontal grille details. The (plastic?) wooden dash is a fancy extra.
-
This is interesting. I haven't seen this Vignale prototype before, and at first sight it looks very similar to the production Vauxhall Viva HA. But there are a lot of differences. The profiles of the bonnet and boot (hood and trunk) are different. The bonnet on the production HA is more horizontal, with a pronounced step down to the front grille, and the boot has slight fins at the edges. The Vignale version smooths out these features. The profile of the top of the grille is similar on both models, but the bottom of the Vignale model is more curved. The front bumper is different, with the side/indicator lights as small pods mounted above it. The rear bumper also wraps around much more than the production model. The rear lamps are also quite different.
Along the side, the trim strip is moved down, with side repeater lamps at the front, and the fuel filler has been moved further back behind a flap. The rear windows are also different. The Vignale ones appear to have a metal frame, while the standard ones have the hinges bolted through the glass.
Overall the changes are quite subtle, but I think it changes a rather dumpy, uninspiring looking car into something with a distinct hint of elegance about it. I quite like it.
-
I agree it does look much more stylish even with relatively minor detail changes. Definitely a touch of Italian genius which is missing from the production model.
I like the appropriate registration number of the picture you have chosen to illustrate the standard car!
-
Does anyone have any images or know anything about a British kit car called the Kenley TT please? From the limited information I have, the Kenley was offered in the late 1980s (possibly from c.1986 to 1990) and was a coupe based on a Triumph Herald. If any fellow AP fans can add any extra information, I will be very grateful. Thanks.

This has been posted on another internet site, and I'm not sure myself. It's almost certainly French, but what is it? I don't know where it is situated, but the poster lives in Geneva - possibly a Hotchkiss?

Do you know what is this little formula, please?
Hi! From what I could find it seems that Austerik Motorsport is an Italian company producing go-kart chassis. Based in Chignolo Po somewhere between Milano and Piacenza. What I couldn't find is any track of this formula car anywhere at all. Although I have seen an article reporting on some local race in 'Formula Driver' category which took place at Le Colline racetrack (which looks to be in or somewhere close to Chignolo Po) on March 23, 2010, where Massimo Austeri drove an 'Austerik 1000' car. The event was governed by Lega Nazionale Automobilismo UISP (Unione Italiana Sport Per tutti) and Austerik raced in category E, reserved for single seaters.
I could suppose that this could be the said Austerik 1000, probably with a motorcycle engine inside. I have found pictures of an Austerik with a 650cc motorcycle engine. That one is different and looks way older, but the colors (white/blue) and the stickers (Motul/Bridgestone) are the same. Attached.
P.S. Oh, another thing is that it looks pretty similar to Gloria single seaters, but still much different in what concerns the bodykit.
-
Many thanks!

There was a Stanbury TT, you could buy a set of plans quite reasonably around that era, though it was a hideous 'ali over ply' 30s styled tourer, could that be what you're after? O maybe stanbury folded and someone carried on selling the plans?

Kenley Engineering was active in 1986.
Their TT had a Triumph Herald engine.

What is amusing is all the replies on the other forums; one thought it looked like a Bond Equipe; another thought its shape was very TVR Tina (has he ever actually seen the TVR Tina? it's so far away from that as to be laughable!); yet another was convinced it was a Sunbeam Alpine (well, the rear wings are a bit similar!) One thing it most certainly isn't is any of those, or in fact any well-known car at all and certainly no production car. It looks well-made so could perhaps be coachbuilt, although if it was you'd think there would be pictures of it around. I would say it's most probably a prototype from one of the established kit-car/specials firms like Falcon, but quite why there seem to be no other pictures or records is certainly a mystery.
-
Don't forget Ashley.
What stikes me is that this picture can be found in a book about busses and the main subject were those red ones!
The car was captured by mistake? I don't think so but who would have an interest to stage that picture with that nice car? A coachbuilding firm that worked on those busses?

That's a good possibility.
The car seems vaguely familiar, but whether that's because it jogs an old memory or because I've looked at it so many times recently I don't know!

Yet again we return to the Sunbeam Alpine connection. I wonder if Thomas Harrington decided to attempt their own car? It has similarities to the Alpine, and maybe they selected a more mundane chassis as the base for their own design. Just a thought.

I don't know, but I did hear a talk about Harringtons coachbuilders by Clive Harrington (a member of the same family) and I think he might have mentioned it, had there been a project like that. They also did the Dove GTR4 for Dove of Wimbledon:
(http://www.classiccaradventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Triumph-Dove-e1270960105116.jpg)
Clive had restored the Harrington Alpine that raced at Le Mans and told us that he showed it to Peter Proctor, the surviving driver, who told him off for omitting the ashtray as both he and Peter Harper smoked like chimneys during the race. How times change!

None of the sites on which this car appears has any idea of what it might be. There are plenty of guesses, mainly like the "A looks a bit like a Bond; is it one of those?" variety, most of which are miles wide of the mark. One similarity doesn't remotely mean it's any relation.
It looks a professionally built car and - to me - it seems a bit French. But the only possibility I can possibly come up with is that it's a now-forgotten car by Pedro Serra. There are a couple of Serra signatures there; he liked windscreens like that; look at the rear panel vents compared to those on his Pegaso pictured below; he also like heavily-hooded headlights and used them on a few models (look at those on his 1959 Renault Spider, also below).
I believe there was a book about Serra, which I don't have. Is there anything in it that might resemble this mystery car? I've copied the picture of the mystery car again for comparison.
-
James Elliott of C & SC has posted on another forum that so far there have been no replies to this mystery car. This is very unusual.
When you consider how much knowledge and information there is about classic cars, and the availability of all that info on the internet, I am lost for words. It's so stylish and apparently well-built - you'd think this car would be remembered.
-
Would anybody happen to know what this is? I found it on a Facebook page and nobody seems to know what it is ...
-
I've seen pictures of it before, Delorean. Unfortunately, I can't remember what it was called. Those rims appear to be from an Alfa Romeo.
-
I found eight images of this car a while back, and wanted to make it a puzzle. Unfortunately, I cannot find any solid information about who built it, or what it is based upon.
This purple Bugatti replica is said to be based upon either a Mercedes-Benz E-class, or a 1939 Buick. The detail shot shows a large leaf spring in the front suspension, leading me to suspect it is based on a Buick. The car is said to have been photographed both on the street, and at auto shows, in the Ukraine. Some photos show the car with chrome side pipes leaving the engine compartment (and American $100 bills embedded in the paint).
The phone number shown below the MAUS plate, is for a company called either Maratex or Maratecks.
Can anyone else track down the origins of this car?
-
I know that Avto Nomer site as one which has a lot of pictures of Russian self-built cars; I've sourced a few puzzles from there, some of which have never been solved!

Who knows this racer? Pictures were shooted in Milano, but I have no names and no date...
-
I wish I could help you, but so far I've found nothing of substance. I've checked through Denis Jenkinson's annual Racing Car Reviews which contain period photographs, but there's nothing which is similar. My first thought was that it's one of the modified Maserati Milanos, but I don't think it is.
It's way too well-built to be a minor homebuilt car - I feel that it's almost certainly a Maserati of some kind, quite possibly a rebodied pre-war car. I'll have to have a lengthy check of my Black Books.
-
This picture is dated november 1984, taken in the 18th arrondissement (district) of Paris, France. The man, one of the best impersonators of Popeye I've ever seen. I can't make up my mind about the car. It doesn't seem to be a Gremlin (different door handle) or an Avanti (they have vent windows) yet these are the only two cars I'm thinking of with the same quarter window. Also, they're are more chances that it's an european car.
Any idea?

Do you know what is this? It is captioned as "Samsung" but I'm not able to find any connection...
-
It's the Turkish Karsan V1 New York City taxi concept, first shown at the Geneva Salon around eight years ago.
-
Indeed! The caption drove me far from the right name!
-

Have official brochures of this car in my collection, if you need some additional info - let me know.
-
Does anyone recognize these cars and who built them?
-
Looks like that MG Special made in New Zealand; or was it a Ford?
I'll have to see if I can find it...
-
I believe the pictures were taken in a bodyshop on the American east coast but I don't know if the MG special was constructed there (it appears to be only car that is complete in the pictures so perhaps not). I have a couple of more pictures of the same place should it be of interest.
-
This is the car I was thinking of:
http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2010-38/solved-neh-249-ching-special-on-early-falcon-shell-based-on-1950-ford-10/msg358129/#msg358129
Whilst there are similarities it's obviously not it...
-
Ah, I thought you were thinking of the MG T-type in the background. I can certainly see the similarities, but I suspect both cars were inspired by the Jaguar C-type and that's where the grille shape (which is the biggest similarity between the two) comes from.
Here is a closer look at the last car in the pictures. I would think it should be possible to at least identify one of these cars.
-
I was looking through some old family 35mm slides from the late 1950s/early 1960s. My Dad used to race at Virginia International Raceway, and that's where these pictures were taken. I was hoping someone would know what model cars are in them. There are several that I can't ID. They're probably easy for most car nuts.
Here's the first one (001, I'll call it)
-
Here's 002 (Austin Healy 3000 Mk II?)
-
003 (Lotus Six?)
-
004 (Sunbeam Tiger or Alpine?)
-
005 (MGA MK II?)
-
006 (MGA MK II?)
-
007 (Austin Healy 3000 Mk II?)
-
Now that I look at them close-up, two of them are the same car (002 and 007). Also, it looks like 005 and 006 are the same model vehicle. I went back and included my guesses as to what the cars are. I have no idea about 001!
-
Hello and welcome to Autopuzzles Buford!
I've re-sized your photos to fit the normal display area and will post them with my comments (if I have any):
This looks like an Elva Courier to me
-
I'd say Austin-Healey 100-6 or 3000 mk 1
-
This is a Lotus 7 of some sort or one of the many clones/copies of the design!
We have people here who can be more specific I think!
-
As you say, a Sunbeam Alpine or possibly Tiger.
-
As you say, both are MG MGA but again I'm not expert enough to say which sub-model.
-
As you say, a Sunbeam Alpine or possibly Tiger.
I don't think it can be a Tiger as it is a Series I-III with the big pointy tail fins.
The production Tigers only ever had the Series IV-V body with toned-down rear wings and Hillman Minx rear lights, though I believe the first prototype was based on a Series II.
-
Yes, those pics were very big, Buford. ;)
Merging with the "What is This Car" thread.

Can anyone recognize this green car, please?
-
Does anyone recognize these cars and who built them?
That's the Lea Francis built by Joe Gertler in New York in the early 1950s. I don't recognise any of the other cars but it is probably Gertler's shopin Long Island
Edit: The wild MG TC in the background is one of Gertler's too
-
I knew I recognised it but just couldn't put my finger on it.
Here's your original puzzle of it (along with my re-post...):

-
I forgot to update the request, but I actually manage to find it out on my own (along with some forumers on another forum) a while back and it is now categorized correctly on the site where I had initially intended to put it on. :)
I have not been able to identify which chassis this car was built on though and I received no answer on my e-mail to the creator of the Joe Geetler history page.
-
Does anyone recognize this car which was shown on an Italian concours? Who built it and what chassis was it made on?
-
I was reading an old account by Denis Jenkinson the other day, and he mentioned that he'd stopped at a garage in Albi amd spotted this car which had been built by the garage proprietor, based on a Citroen 15cv. He photographed the car because he was so impressed by the design and engineering involved, but he didn't mention the name of the builder.
I've had a look through all 8 pages of "Citroen" on AP, and couldn't find it, so this could be new to us all. Any ideas?
-
From memory this was the first vehicle to be constructed by M.E.P., which went on to build the nice little M.E.P. Formula bleu racers that used air-cooled Panhard and Citroen engines. Currently a long way from home, but will try and dig out some proof of this when I'm next there later this week.
-
M.E.P. is correct
-
M.E.P. is correct
Thanks to Djetset and Allemano. It's obvious now! Typical of DSJ not to provide full info in his article, but he used to write his reports in long-hand and trust overseas postal services to get them to Boddy, so I'll let him off if he had to leave out some stuff which didn't seem important to him. It's been a previous puzzle.
-
There were several different versions and I've considered posting one of them from my pictures file several times but they are all just a bit too similar so I haven't been tempted.. I thnk they were all posted in one of the threads below by fnqvmuch anyway.

This photo has been posted on another well-known website, and has so far received mainly ludicrous answers. It's a car which was dropped from a great height to see what would happen. I keep thinking it's a GRP special, but the bodywork has not shattered enough and it could be alloy. Someone has pointed out that there seems to be a semaphore indicator in the centre pillar.
Any ideas?
-
I think I could have told them what would happen before they went to the effort...
It doesn't look like glass fibre, which doesn't bend like the roof has.
Seems to be a 4-door car but no ideas yet..
-
Surely no-one would do that to a Bristol?!
-
Bristol was my first thought, too, but the distance between front wheel arch and A-pillar seems to be too short for a Bristol.
-
I found another picture where it is said to have been a Wolseley:
-
It could be a 4/44, because so much seems right. Even the semaphore indicator in the B-pillar. But why has the rear bumper got an indentation for a number plate, when the 4/44 had it mounted on the boot lid?
-
Because it could be an MG Magnette?
-
What I called a ludicrous suggestion on that other site is in fact correct! Shows how much I know......
I suppose the force of the crash pushed the boot section upwards to make it look to the casual eye like a more squared-off shape.
-

Yes, the rear lights and that chrome strip behind the front wheels would bear it out.
It's a Magnette ZA.
-
As I said in another place, the bit of rear bodywork overhanging the n/s rear wheel looks to me like GRP rather than steel. That may be repair bodgery rather than original, of course as I suppose they wouldn't have used a pristine car for the occasion.

A new Volkswagen Beetle-based buggy was shown at the 1972 Turin auto show, called the Sicra Big Buggy. Does anyone have a photograph of the Sicra please, as I'm struggling to find out what it looks like. Thanks.

Fantastic. Thank you Arunas, very much appreciated. :)

Period pictures. There were 2 versions.
-
I found this picture long ago but I can not find out what the car is? Help, please?
-
Looks like a 1932/33 Fiat 508 (Balilla)
-
Not sure a 508: it has a radiator with almost perfectly vertical edges. I'd rather say a 1929 Fiat 514.
-
This is an Alfa Romeo prototype of some sort which I believe was pictured in the basement of the Alfa Romeo museum. What I wondering about is this: Does any more pictures exist of this car, was it given a name, and was it built by Alfa Romeo or a coachbuilder? :)
-
Very interesting.
Looks a bit like the Touring Alfa Praho? Perhaps a development of it?
On the other hand those headlights could mean a Tom Tjaarda involvement? Whilst at Pininfarina?
-
I think it is by Pininfarina if it was not built by Alfa Romeo. The reason is that Pininfarinas one-off 2600 is the only other car I've seen with that interpretation of the traditional Alfa Romeo badge and grille. ¨
But there are so many Alfa Romeo prototypes of various kinds that it is absolutely impossible to search for it.

I agree: also the styling of the grille looks like other period Pininfarina one-offs (Cadillac Jacqueline, Fiat 2100 Speciale).
-
I cannot answer the question,but I stumbled across this site while looking for a solution.
Someone else may have also found it, but if not, the actual location and photo of the unknown car may give someone
with access to persons familiar with the Dealership to follow up for a possible answer.
Bill
PS: It is a multi page post, I only marked the one with "our" photo.

Thanks for the link Bill. I guess that's where I found originally although I can't remember ever seeing those other pictures. Are you sure they were taken at a dealer though? Many of the cars seen there do belong and have always (as far as I know) belonged to the Alfa Romeo Museum collection. While that is said is it just me or do Alfa Romeo have abnormally many prototypes in their collections that they never show to the public? Or is it normal? Do Bmw for example still have cars like the 2002 Garmisch and that Bertone 520 coupe hidden somewhere?
And lastly: What is this?
(http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq30/jan252upload/20100830153355heritage14-1024.jpg)
-
The first car is apparently just a prototype for the 2600 Berlina. I've found no information about who built it.
The last car is a declined Bertone-proposal for a Giulia GT replacement. It was fitted with a Montreal v8 and was given the code name Tipo 186.
-
Well done.
It would have made a great puzzle!
-
Indeed, but it is hard to make puzzle out of them when you do not know the answer yourself. Perhaps someone else can use them in the future?
Here is another car I'm not familiar with. It sort of looks like a AC Greyhound prototype, but what is it?
-
The prototype AC Aceca was registered 3KPG, so I reckon you're not far from the truth. That looks like a one-piece bonnet lid, which is odd.
Could it be the 1955 flat-4 prototype? This is described as a stretched AC Aceca with a 3-box format.
-
The first car is apparently just a prototype for the 2600 Berlina. I've found no information about who built it.
It's featured in Gippo Salvetti's "alfavelate" book (its grille is even on the book cover). It was built in 1963. The author doesn't know who built it but he reckons Pininfarina was involved.
The car definitely belongs to the Alfa Romeo museum, as well as the 186 project from 1968.
-
Here is another car I'm not familiar with. It sort of looks like a AC Greyhound prototype, but what is it?
I think you're probably spot-on there.
Aft of the A pillar it's almost completely AC Greyhound, whilst the front is AC Ace.
The registration number 3 FGP is a Surrey issue (AC were in Thames Ditton, Surrey) dating from April 1958; since the Greyhound came out in 1959 the timing would figure as well.

There's something very disjointed and half-built about that A-pillar and windscreen arrangement. Definitely not ready for production. Why the steel wheels? Also it's not Bristol-powered because there's no intake for the tall engine.
If you read a certain site about AC history it mentions the Flat-4 car I posted about and I still think this could be it, lashed together by the AC works using bits of an Ace, and bits of a Greyhound. Oddly enough, Georgano doesn't even mention the proposed flat-4 and flat-6 engines.
PS That flat windscreen doesn't seem to come from any AC model of the 1950s. I suppose you all know that's Goodwood.
-
It certainly is Goodwood, and this AC's wheels are taken from a 2-Litre Bristol, so it could be running/testing a Bristol straight six engine installation...
-
Sounds likely that it is the flat-4 prototype then, but what does this badge behind the front wheel means? I initially thought it could be the badge of a local coachbuilder or something, but I guess that goes out of the window it was built by AC themselves.
-
Should be this one: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2011-39/solved-mjw-505-ac-flat-four-prototype-1958/
-
I think the "badge" is possibly an access point for a key to unlock the one-piece bonnet.
-
I think the "badge" is possibly an access point for a key to unlock the one-piece bonnet.
That's exactly what I was going to say!
I note there is some confusion over the date of the car but woodinsight is pretty unequivocal that it dates from 1958, which would fit in with when the car was registered for the road.
I wonder if they liked the look of it so much they went on to develop the bodywork into the Greyhound?
-

You're probably right. :)
-
One last information request: Williams & Pritchard are said to have re-bodied Ferrari 166 chassis 010I as a coupé in either 1949 or 1950. I tried to find a pictures of this body but to no avail. I was therefore wondering if anyone here had a picture of it?
-
Is it Lister Jaguar Coupe or something else?
-
The side window looks longer than on the famous lister coupe.
-
I'm 99% it's the same car. I think it could have been re-bodied at some time and maybe the measurements aren't exactly the same.
-
The current car actually have a different roof line, a different windshield and perhaps a different side windows that how it was originally built. I thought these were modern changes, but perhaps they were actually done before that picture was taken?
-
I haven't checked whether the car was badly crashed during its period career, but many owners of valuable historic cars keep the original panels in storage, and use copy bodywork in order to take part in historic racing - it can be very expensive!
-
Definitely
-
What's this car? :)
-
Parson-Maserati (150S engine) at 1958 Goodwood Easter Monday meeting, Sussex Trophy. Entered by Weldangrind and driven by S G Young.
-
I logged on to ask "Is that a Maserati engine"?!
-
Also I found this picture:
-
Pity- that would have made a good puzzle! ;D.
We've had the Parson-MG previously. I'm pretty sure this was a different chassis because the road registrations aren't the same.
-

-
It's me again. ;D Now I am wondering about whether anyone knows who made the body for the MBM SP-100 of 1960? As I understand it this car actually have a aluminum body unlike the "ordinary" MBM. I was therefore wondering whether it could perhaps have been built by Sauter who did the body on Monteverdis Ferrari 750 Monza coupe-conversion?
-
I'm also very curious about who made the body for the Cooper Jaguar cars, like this t38. It looks like it could be a Williams & Pritchard body to my eyes but I found no mention of any coachbuilders online. Did Cooper have the ability to construct bodies like this themselves?
(http://s3.amazonaws.com/scardigest/wp-content/uploads/DSC_8843.jpg)
And this article (http://www.sebringsprite.com/pdf-files/WSMarticleCSC.pdf) mentions that Peel coachworks made the bodies on HRG cars, but it does not specify which one. Did they make the bodies on the HRG Twin Cams of 1955? And who made the body on the Emperior? :)
-
This one has been bothering me for a few days now, as I am sure that I know it, but just can not place what it is. It is Paris-registered, French I think, and competed in the 1960 Rallye Catalunya. Any ideas of make, model and coachbuilder very welcome please, to put me out of my frustration? Thank you. (Now resolved; Motto Jaguar).
-
Salmson-based?

From a reliable Swiss source I understood that the original body was made by coach builder Peter Häner from Basel. Other sources claim it was a Heron body from UK, but I go for the first option. After an accident it disappeared in a shed and was discovered in 1978, but the body was almost completely gone. Between 1982 and 1992 it was restored by a team of Swiss specialists.
-
Salmson-based?
Thanks Nicanary, I've got a feeling that it might be Salmson-based as well, but I can't be 100% certain...

Whoops..... :nerves:
-
Apart from the grille, both cars are extremely close and were obviously registered roughly at the same time (only 27 license plate numbers apart). I reckon they are two slightly different Motto XK150s, or the same one that was slightly modified (maybe after a crash) and re-registered for some reason.
-
I would think it is the same car as it seems to have the exact same set of lights mounted beneath the bumpers, and these lights do not seems to be a integrated part of Mottos design
-
I have to disagree - I think they are different cars. They may have the same aftermarket fog lamps, but the grilles and the profiles of the fronts of the cars are different, as well as the registration numbers. Also the fog lamps are mounted in different positions on the two cars. On the Motto car they are mounted slightly inboard of the sidelamps, whereas on the unknown one they are further out towards the edge of the car. I really don't think they are the same car.
-
I think it is the same car that have just gotten a lengthened front for some reason. Just take a look at the area above the red dot and compare it with the Jaguar XK150 by Motto. Also note the badge which is located much farther away from the front on the mystery car than the Motto.
-
What's the car to the right in this picture with the "triangle" rear lights?
-
Well that registration number leads to the Chapman Mercury which looks like this now:
(http://www.velocetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Chapman-Mercury-111-track-A.jpg)
-
Maybe someone had a small collision in the original and they had to re-do the front?
They are different registration plates though; but weren't the 'TT' plates just temporary registrations for export cars? Maybe they allocated a new one when the car was off the road for a little time for any reason, like re-building the front?
I'm referring to the Motto Jaguar discussion of course!
-
Thank you Allan. Funnily enough this actually appears to be the best picture of the rear that exist online.
-
They are different registration plates though; but weren't the 'TT' plates just temporary registrations for export cars?
The Temporary Import (TT) plates were a different layout of digits/letters and red. The two registrations are of the standard format used for many years and the "75" is the Paris Department code number.

Yes, I know '75' was Paris, but still didn't the 'TT' mean they were temporary plates issued by Paris Department.
Can a Frenchman enlighten us?!
-
The "#### TT ##" pattern was used for "transit temporaire" plates from March 1954 in any French department according to this site : http://plaque.free.fr/f_tt_f.html
So they may indeed be "transit temporaire" plates issued in Paris.
Different layouts have been used, always with a red background, which may appear as black on B&W photos.
-
Thanks
Knowing how coachbuilders often worked it could be they are completely different cars.
When they came up with a design they liked the look of they would often make 2 or 3 copies, each with very slight differences, maybe even based on different cars. So it could be possible that these Mottos are not the same car but just a very similar (and unknown!) copy.

Coming back to this one, I spoke today with Mr. Motto. He confirms that they made 2 of them at the same time: one for pilot Clemente Biondetti and another for a Swiss man, owner of a large salami factory. He also remembers that the 2 cars had slightly different front grills. So, the mistery should be solved.
-
That sounds like it is solved then. :) Do Mr Motto knows anything about what happened to either of the cars?

That's what I thought the answer would be.
They didn't like to waste a good design so made a very small 'run' or them (2 or 3 cars) if they could. That's obviously what happened in this case. A good thing too!

I have tried to find some pictures/information about the cars that received bodies by Maurice Gomm. I have been told by a owner of a Gomm-bodied car that Maurice Gomm (as in the business) had a picture archive of their work as recent as ten years ago, before they went out of business. Given that it existed so recently then I would think that there is a possibility that someone preserved the pictures before they went out of business. I would love to see if I could get hold them, but the problem is that I have absolutely no idea who I should contact or where to start. The owner of the Gomm-car did not know. I've also spoken with the author of the Tojeiro book but he did not known either.
Does anyone here know anyone I could contact who could know about it or are anyone here familiar with them? :)
-
Anybody has an idea what this is?
-
looks VW based.. Interisting!
-
The front reminds me of the Fiat 850 Spyder..
-
I was thinking Denzel. However those crease lines along the bonnet and front wings look very modern - is this some sort of attempt to create a modern coupe Denzel?
-
I don't think so, as the number plates are from Belgium.
-
Does anyone know (and ideally have proof of) what this car is please?
It was found abandoned in Glasgow, Scotland, in the early 1990s. It possibly uses a Mini or Hillman Imp engine, either rear or mid-mounted, and around three examples are believed to have been made. Beyond that, I don't know much more, so any extra information will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I do this on behalf of a friend.
Anyone knows more bout that Chinese Changan? It could be designed by an Italian design house.
I don't know anything, so, questions I can't answer I'm afraid.
Thank you
-
I know this car. It was sold under the name Landwind CV9 (that is the Landwind logo on the grille), but Landwind belongs in part to Chang'An so I would not be surprised if it had been sold under the Chang'An (or Chana) marque as well.
As you said, it was designed in Italy, by I.DE.A to be precise. The reason I came in contact with the car, back in 2008 I think, is because some units were sold in Europe by a Belgian importer; however, the front bumper of the car as it had been originally conceived for China did not comply with European pedestrian safety regulations, and had to be hastily redesigned so it could be homologated for sale in the EU. This redesign was done by the company I work for in Spain, and I am the person who drew he shape of the new bumper according to the legal requirements.
Below are a couple of pictures of the car with the Euro-spec bumper.

I can see what you mean! The car is from Germany however, and it looks FWD to me. What can it be?
PS I've just found out the car probably came from Luxembourg.

Could it be from Belgium? Those front wheels look like an Adler Trumpf Junior.

This car is featured on another well-known website, and has me stumped. Any ideas?
Someone has posted on the original website that they are surprised that Autopuzzles members haven't solved this yet, and suggested that this would be an offence to our professional pride. Come on you guys - let's dig deep.
-
Do any fellow Puzzlers have any idea what this (possibly Austrian) Alfa Romeo-based buggy is please (make, model, etc.)? Thanks in advance. (Now resolved; Ledl Alfa Romeo Buggy).
-
Hello friends. Does not one of you know what kind of car is it? Well thank you.
-
Moved to the Information Request thread.
-
Do any fellow Puzzlers have any idea what this (possibly Austrian) Alfa Romeo-based buggy is please (make, mode, etc.)? Thanks in advance.
I 've found it early this week, and the seller offers this Buggy as VW Buggy Alfa Ledl 1969 Austria
-
Thank you Oguerrerob, that's very useful. This site I originally found this on also related to Ledl, so I guess this Alfa buggy must be one of theirs!
-
I think it was called the Griffin. It looked like a race car. It was a Kit Car. Existed in the early ‘80s I believe. Featured in a mag I once owned. In the feature it was yellow. Had rectangular headlamps mounted above the body work. Even had wings. Pretty sure it was British.
Anyone know anything? Have any images?
Sure wouldn’t mind learning about it again, 30+ years later.
What I’ve found since I put the post up...

This car has been a puzzle twice, but the two threads are in disagreement about the name.
First it was posted by Quiller and identified as "Griffon" by spider murphy:
https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2009-37/q561-solved-griffon
and later posted by Carnut and identified as "Griffin" by Arunas:
https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2015-44/solved-neh-4125-griffin-vw-powered-kit-car-prototype-1980/
So does anyone have proof of what the real name is?
-
I received a request about this car and this truck...picture from Belgium, possibly American.
The truck is a 1936/37 Diamond T.
-
Can anyone suggest what the attached might be? Mascot looks Chrysler, but the radiator shell doesn’t; picture taken in 1930s UK:
-
Anyone? Shape of the radiator seems familiar, but I can't place it.
-
I'd say Fiat 501:
-
Thank you, that radiator is a very good match.
-
Somebody on a other forum is asking what this is. Any ideas? I am totally stumped beyond probably French, early 1990s prototype...
-
It's a Homemade car from Saint Petersburg. Built by Konstantin Myatnikov.
-
Thanks! I just found it at the same moment...
-
Seems this guy loves yellow cars! ;D
-
A long shot, but does anyone recognise this support car from the 1949 Tour de France?
-
I wonder if this is the same car?
-
Another picture.
-
Simca 8 ?
-
As it is was a team car for an Italian cyclist and it also appeared at the 1949 Giro d'Italia, I'd guess that it is a Fiat.
-
What about this?
I have no idea :/
-
I would like to know more about this one. Do you recognize it?
It is most probaly from Australia.
-
Sorry, I'm having brain fade! Can anyone quickly please help identify this truck (make, model and year) as it's potentially being entered into this year's Goodwood Revival for a specific purpose in a few weeks time, and I don't think it's what its owner claims it to be. Thank you in advance. (Now resolved; Ford V 3000 S).
-
I expect you're already aware of this, but the truck features on a certain site for Ford Truck Enthusiasts (no link here ;D) where the owner is requesting help with axle ratios. There is a longish post from Germany which I can't translate which may or may not be about the origin of this vehicle.
I can't help any more, but it certainly looks like a Ford V3000. Unless it was built by Alan Mann for an Indiana Jones film..............
PS See you in 4 weeks time!
-
I also can't find any obvious differences between your picture and the authentic pictures of a 1941-1945 Ford V 3000 S (G 918 TS) in Werner Oswald's book about German army vehicles. What makes you think that it is not an authentic German WW2 Ford?
(The German post in the Ford Truck Enthusiasts forum is just from another guy rebuilding a similar truck asking about the whereabouts of the twin wheels on the rear axle, as his truck has only single wheels fitted and he'd like to have the twin wheels too.)
-
Thank you for the confirmation of the Ford V3000 truck Nicanary and Wendax, which is very useful and much appreciated.
-
A friend of mine recently came across some fascinating photographs of interesting cars casually parked in London's streets in the early 1960s, a few of which I'll post shortly. For the moment though, does anyone know what this fine motor car is please, as I'm not 100% certain. Thank you. (Still unresolved).
-
I'm stuck with this one (without my sources..) though it should be fairly easy..
Anyone who can give me the name of both Porsche specials on this Petrolicious beautiful pic? (not the one far in the background)
-
I would like to know more about this one. Do you recognize it?
It is most probaly from Australia.
Looks like a strange modified (maybe formerly damaged) De Tomaso Mangusta

This unusual 1976 Alfa Romeo GTV with gullwing doors is shortly to be auctioned by Aguttes in France. They don't seem to know who converted the Alfa to gullwing doors, which I don't either, so I'm posting it here in case any fellow Puzzlers might know who created this strange one-off? Thanks. (Still unresolved).
-
A friend of mine stumbled across this whilst out for a walk in the south of England over the weekend. Has anyone got any idea what it is please? Thanks.
-
A friend of mine is offering my for sale, but I do not know anything of this car, neither the owner. would you help me with this????
-
I have seen these photos before somewhere, but I can't remember where, and I can't find them again on a Google search. In my fading memory, I think this was built somewhere in South America from a production Alfa Romeo of some sort, possibly a 1900 SS, or maybe even a 1600 Giulietta.
Is there an engine fitted? If it's an Alfa, I suggest a specialist website like Alfa Romeo Bulletin Board (I'm not supposed to use links!) - in fact that's where I may have seen it.
-
I'm not very knowledgable about motorhomes/campers, but intrigued by this Mercedes-Benz-based on recently seen in the UK that uses BMW 5-Series E39 headlamps.
Does anyone have any idea who made this camper please, and what it might be called? Thanks in advance. (Now resolved; Eura Mobil 666 HB).

According to an article in the latest issue of French AutoRetro magazine, it has been converted by a German Alfa Romeo collector, but his name remains undisclosed. Car is registered OF JA 65 H, in case it helps someone find where it comes from.

Hi,
I've seen this photo of 1967 Kabul a few times and every time I wonder what's the grey buggy-like car. At first I thought that it was an early Gurgel (Ipanema or 1200), but, although similar in overall shape, it doesn't look like one, especially at the front. I guess this is some kind of a fibreglass body on a Beetle chassis thingy, but I can't quite pinpoint its identity. The car looks to be an expedition vehicle (stickers on the body, two spare tires etc.), so it may be from a part of the world very far from Afghanistan.
Edit: Found it, it's an Apal Samtrack.
-
Well done!
Maybe you could do something with this one?!:

Wow, that's quite a find! Well done.
When this car (called Fox) was first built in the mid-1990s, it wasn't electric, but rather powered by a petrol Nissan Micra on which it was based. This car has been a long-standing Puzzle in the Black Hole here, where to still remains today as I look for the name of its creators (which I have now misplaced, so proof will still be needed) :).
-
Thanks, I knew it would have appeared here! I initially thought it might have been an IAD design, but it’s probably too amateurish.
-
The license plate FOX 1 belongs to a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S nowadays. Seems to be a different car... ;D

I stumbled across this photo of a bespoke MG 1100 recently, but have no idea who modified it. It could be Radford, Hooper or one of many others, but I cannot find any proof. So, if any fellow puzzlers know who converted this MG ADO16 please, including Facel-Vega headlamps, this information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. (Still unresolved).
-
Hello everybody. First time posting on this site :)
For the past few days this car has been bugging me a lot and I can't figure out this at all.
It's from a 1974/75 documentary about the Soviet/Lithuanian rally driver Stasys Brundza. In one of the montages, this car was shown for a couple of seconds (participating in "Rallye Tour d'Europe" I presume?)
Source of the video (this car appears at 4:36): https://youtu.be/olDTESlEX9U (https://youtu.be/olDTESlEX9U)
Any info about this would be very helpful!
-
The car has a very special rear end, but, unfortnately, it tells me nothing...
The movie is about Statys Brundza, so my best guess that it can be some kind of creation by VFTS. However, I very doubt that...
The number plate ПБ9053... It is either Perm Oblast or пробный = test/experimental??
Last question, where is the action? Most cars look to have Soviet number plates (even Alpine!?) so I cannot be sure if this is either Soviet Union event or "Tour D'Europe"..
Great mystery car! Maybe someone knows more?
-
To start with the obvious: the "B" registration dates it as 1964. Which coachbuilders were in business then?
-

I would have thought that Facel-Vega headlamp units would have been hard to come by, which makes me wonder whether it was done at Hersham & Walton Motors. I've just had a quick glance through my copy of Fred Hobbs' autobiography but unfortunately there's nothing mentioned.
-
Does anyone knows anything about this car?
-
I was looking for new puzzle subjects today, and came across this. It's a "still" from a short film about the 1951 GP Sables d'Olonne. A rear view of the car reveals the race number 28 (or 29?) painted in that odd floral manner of French race officials of the time. Problem is, race #28 is allocated to the Ferrari 166F2 of Victor Polledry. All reference books insist that this is that car, unless of course I have misread the number.
It is always the possibility that it was a late entry or Polledry replaced his Ferrari with another car. I have perused the full entry list and it doesn't fit anything. The rear of the bodywork resembles the Delage and Delahaye race cars of the late 1930s but those wheels make me think it's something fairly low-powered. Simca? Wheelbase looks too long.
Any ideas?
-
I may have solved this myself. It looks an awful lot like Eugene Martin's BMW special - note from this image that the cockpit side could be taken away, just like in my mystery photo. Martin is not entered in the race, but car #22 is a BMW driven by Armand Philippe. Maybe he was loaned the car for this race. (The race number on the tail could conceivably be #22)
PS I've just found out that Philippe knew Martin as friends - they shared a Veritas in one race and a Ferrari 166 in another. Looks like I've solved my own problem.
-
Not sure I agree, but an alternative is hard to pin down. The problem is the dearth of photos of Eugene Martin's car, usually known as the BMW 328 special. The other one looks nothing like the one you have shown in your photo, yet ostensibly they are the same car, perhaps at different stages of development.The problem I see is that the unknown car has wheels much more typical of Simca engined cars such as Gordinis. The Martin photos show either steel wheels or larger wires and to me looks bigger.
The only other entered cars with a number in the 20s were Meteor - BMWs, a Simca and a Ferrari. It is clearly not a Ferrari - you can see a 166 circulating in the film. Jean Thepenier's Simca 1500 was almost certainly an ex-works Gordini that he bought that year. Did he have it rebodied? He was number 26.
Number 20 was Marcel Balsa's car, labelled a Meteor BMW. By this time his own Balsa car was powered by Veritas Meteor engine, but again it suffers from lack of photos except in its earlier form. However a later photo of this car fitted with its V8 engine has a distinctly similar nose to the unknown car.
At one point in the film you can see the back of the unknown car. It has a long tapering headrest fairing, and is very left hand drive - not a central seat. That would tend to rule out a Gordini, (but early Veritas Meteors were lhd.) It would have ruled out the Balsa except for the fact that I have a photo of a lhd car labelled Balsa which looks very like it.........but I suspect its accuracy. Ironically it could be Eugene Martins car!!!!
Still with me? I don't think it is any of these cars, I think it is more likely to be a late entry, small engined car as yet unknown.
-
Seem to have lost some photos
-
and again
-
On reflection this does look the same as my "Balsa but is it" photo
-
Thanks. I knew you'd be just as interested as myself - you have done great detectice work and it's much appreciated. I'm more or less in agreement with you. It all leans towards some sort of Simca-based special. The Balsa is definitely single-seater, the Martin BMW in my image bears no relation to the other Martin car which was one of my puzzles - and there's always the possibility that an image has been incorrectly captioned!
That's the problem with history. It's always being changed. Every reference I came across regarding this race stuck rigidly to the official entry list, even the sainted Black Book. On the day of the race, the organisers would have announced any changes to the entry, and no doubt some spectators would have marked their programmes accordingly. Oh to have access to one of those!
So it goes down in history as a BMW special, and nowt can be done about it. I would like to put this enigma to the old codgers on a well-known website for nostalgic enthusiasts (you'll know) but I lack the technical skills - they have a complex system for posting images which has confused lesser men than I. Go ahead if you want.
Thanks for the hard work.
PS I've just double-checked the photo of Martin's earlier BMW at the Coupe de Lyon, and it's confirmed in the Black Book. I imagine he rebodied it a few years later. It's not as you say the same car as our puzzle - the bodywork does vary and the spring hanger is absent in the Coupe de Lyon photo. The rear view of the car which you have found looks like it is taken in the paddock (the car is shown on the tarmac road in the race footage) and bears the number 22 (faded) in the strange painting style used by French officials of the period. I mistook it for 26 or 28 in the film footage. This almost certainly makes it the race at Sables d'Olonne. Definitely the same car as my poser. The wheelbase looks rather long for anything Simca-based.
-
I think I have cracked it. I am absolutely certain that the mystery car is the same as that labelled in my photograph " Balsa or is it". That photo even bears the outline of no.22 on its tail. The problem is that we have no photo of its front - until now. Attached is an albeit modern photo of what is undoubtably a Balsa, and I think this is Balsa-BMW no.2. Notice it is left hand drive, and has that perspex windscreen as opposed to the more common aero screen. It is quite different to the earlier Balsa - and note its cockpit shape. OK it has a different grille but I am 99% sure this is our car. I cannot of course explain why it is not driven by Marcel Balsa, who is on the programme as driving no.2O. I have peered at the film again and it is possible that he was driving the first Balsa-BMW, but I cannot be sure. On the version of the programme I worked on there were 3 "BMW Meteors" numbered 20, 22 Philippe and 24 Orley. I could not see one on the film, whereas I can make out the Duval and I think a Deho-Simca. I suspect the BMW Meteors were in fact all BMW specials.
Whatever, I think our car is a Balsa-BMW!
-
Well done TT ! I have to agree with you 99.9%. I've got to keep something back!
Virtually everything on the internet about Balsa is just stats of his career. For that final 0.1% I'd like to see mention of him either improving his first car or building a second. Can't have everything I suppose. Now I know the results of your investigation, I realise that I probably couldn't have used this car as a puzzle anyway - it's probably a continuation model of an existing solved puzzle.
Thanks. Very much appreciated.
PS I'm a bit slow today - the BMW special with which we are most familiar is usually captioned as 1952. This suggests that either the puzzle car was altered to a smaller less heavy body shape, or that indeed there were 2 cars, because the photo you have posted shows the car as it is in modern times.

Does anyone knows anything about this car?
Lynx Eigenbau (Kitcar) by Jon 1994 Netherlands
-
I came across this one in a video about a Chinese rallye. It looks Italian to me, who knows more?
-
I've seen this one somewhere before, but can't place where at the moment. Seems like it may have been British-based, but I'm not sure (and LHD is giving me doubts). Let me see what I can come up with. If nothing else, I can contact someone I know who participated in the same rally and ask him what this was.
-
I've posted this on a couple of other well-known websites, with no real response. The white open car has a Cord-like frontal treatment, but is much smaller. The Duncan Drone comes to mind, but they had more basic bodywork and cycle wings.
Any idea?
-
This one is on other forums at the moment. The photo is from Australia, the car is registered as a Simca, and the small letters above the licence plate read OAL or possibly QAL. Looks very like a Toyota 2000GT of course, but the rear end is wrong. Anybody from Down Under know what this is?
-
This car appeared in some Aussie group, This guy recognized it
Roger Wright Ok guys. Well we are going back a while here.
This car was built in Adelaide by a colleague of mine who worked with me in DCA, when I had my Bolwell Mk7 (RFN145) in the 70s.
The car was a Simca and the inspiration was a Ferrari Daytona.
The owner builder had the initials GAL and from memory they were attached to the front of the car.
While the car initially had all Simca running gear Peter Nelson and I suggested that the engine and gearbox be changed for something more modern. A Mitsubishi Sigma engine and gearbox replaced the Simca.
Good to see this car still in use and looking good.
-
Anyone got a front view of this Simca ?

I would have been tempted to have used this modified 101-Series Alfa Romeo Sprint as a Puzzle, but sadly I don't know who modified the car's front end! Does anyone have any ideas and more information about this Alfa please with its accessory Volkswagen wheel covers? Thanks. (Still unresolved).
-
Looking on a few Alfa Romeo-related websites to see if I could find out anything more about the (still unidentified) modified 101 Sprint above, I spotted this red car in the background of a photo of Alfa meeting in the USA. The car looks vaguely familiar, but I can't quite place it. Any ideas, and sorry for the small image size. (Now resolved; Alfa Romeo SP256)
-
Any idea on this presumably German cyclecar? Picture was probably taken around 1919-1920

I don't know it, but I think it is the same as this one from Bremen. The front axle and the belt drive look the same.

I don't (if I did, I'd have made it a Puzzle!), so I thought I'd share it here in case any fellow AP users might know what this (seemingly British) car is, registered in 1965. Thank you in advance. (still unresolved).

Another mystery car for you all. This metallic gold coupe with Alfa Romeo 166 rear lights appeared in the background of an old Quiller puzzle posted here on 19 December 2010 (Q656; https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2010-38/q656-solved-experimentbil-03-kipper/msg83643/#msg83643). This photo was taken at a custom car show somewhere in Sweden (not sure when or where).
The 'mystery' car looks to be possibly based around an older Japanese coupe (perhaps a Honda Prelude MK3, Nissan Silver 200SX, etc.?) but I still don't know what this car is, so if anyone has any ideas, please do share then here. Thank you, and sorry for the small photo.

I think I have seen this microcar before, but can't place it. If it is a repost, please tell me its name. If it wasn't featured here before and you know which car it is, please let me know so that I can post it as a puzzle.

-
It was not unusual to update these low-mileage well-kept hearses or upgrade them right from the start. I have seen one done by Rappold myself (see below), but yours looks less elegant, so it might have been done by a less known coachbuilder.
-
Thank you Wendax, that's a good start to solving this headlight mystery :).

About the Austin A40, maybe a relationship with this car (a Bristol ? )

Hi guys,
i hope that it is also allowed to ask for information about a coachbuilder - as in this case the car is quiiiiite obvious. ;)
(https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/785959.jpg)
On the dogleg, right under the co-drivers door (between the front wheel and the hinge of the passenger door in the rear) - a badge is more or less visible.
Does anyone recognize it?
As the lettering on the door tells, the car was used for a business in 6651 Häselgehr, Tyrol - Austria.
But as some boarders are within reach, i would say it is possible that the bus was even converted in another country (Germany, Swiss, maybe even Italy?).
Any help would be highly appreciated. I have seen many Volkswagen Transporters from the 1950ies modified by different coachbuilders - but i have never seen this oval badge pictured above. Of course it is also possible, that it is just the badge of the car dealer..
Thank you in advance and all the best,
Alex

Same request regarding this bus on the photo below:
I remember seeing a second picture of the very same bus (same licence plate), with a round and white badge on the co-drivers dogleg. If i find it, i will add it here too.

Hi,
anybody able to identify this sporty old car?
Regards, RT
-
Any ideas on this one? Going by the Swiss number plates I was thinking about a Beutler body but can't find a matching car.
-
Another try. No single search ever gave the least bit of infomation about this teardrop thing. No Talbot-Lago or whatsoever. I mean, it might not be old either. Look at the wheels. They show there might be something modern under the skin. The buses in the distance point the scenery is somewhere in Eastern Europe. Any guess?
-
I cannot help myself, now I mean to see there is a "simple" Volkswagen Beetle (old version with "pretzel" rear windows) forming the center of the car above. Take a look here. It is not the same, but the similarity is striking: https://www.behance.net/gallery/23835269/VW-Beetle-Custom-Black-Edition (https://www.behance.net/gallery/23835269/VW-Beetle-Custom-Black-Edition)

Looks pretty much like a copy of Terry Cook's 1939 Lincoln Zephyr-based "Scrape" lead sled.

Thank you oko94! Going to store that as "Lincoln Zephyr Custom Coupe 1939"! :)

The next thing to name ist this little old spider. The structure of the number plate is obviously French. But ist is not an Amilcar or stuff, at least I found none like this. The brand label reads "GAP" or "CAP" what makes it little promising to search for a brand with this name. Hope you can help.

Hi,
here my Christmas surprise! A Japanese experimental racecar. But do you think googling for that gives a matching result? Of course not. I also wondered a lot about the bow shape. Then I had an idea: this thing might have been thought as probably fastest rice harvester ever!
Well, this was a joke. Hope you can seriously identify it!

We're very happy to have you here as a member Romanic Technofreak, and we're very happy to help you with answers to questions you have regarding rare cars, but this board is not a board on which to set puzzles to which you know the answer!
To set puzzles you first need to gain 50 points as a Rookie to become an Expert; only then you can set your own puzzles!
As I said if you have pictures you can't identify we're always happy to assist if someone here knows the answer, but please don't set puzzles here on the Information Requests board.
Thanks

Hi Carnut, I was only doing a bit of smalltalk. I lack the ability to share or create a puzzle. Everything I ask here is unknown to me.
Nobody knows the green offroader? So let's go ahead.
The next thing that drives me to desparation is this yellow plastic-body-lookalike. The obviously British number plate should stick on a Lotus or whatever, but none looks exactly like this. Googling for "ELV 803" is the next idea. No hits either. What is it? YOU are my last hope!
Regards, RT
-
It's an Elva Courier, probably a Mk II from about 1960.
Hence the ELV registration plate...
Google it and you'll see lots of pictures of Elva Couriers.
-
Thank you Carnut!
Next one. This time I admit I make it a bit easy for myself because I mean by a lot of work I could find out this Wolseley or Riley or Sunbeam or what this British in the foreground may be. But you know it for sure by heart. Do you? If so, tell me please! ;)
Regards, RT

It's an Armstrong Siddeley of some sort.

OK Nikanary. Armstrong Siddeley 20/25 Limousine de Ville 1936 is a good match. Thank you!

Next one - one may think people here look so happy and proud for owning a Rolls-Royce, if you consider the massive grille. But the scenery looks US-American, and so probably the brand ist too. Do you know it? If so, please tell me!
Regards, RT
-
Many Rolls-Royces were bodied in the US, mainly by Brewster.
This looks like a Silver Ghost from about 1920, although I don't know a great deal about cars from this era; but there are plenty on here who do!
-
Thank you Carnut.
The next photo: who knows this little racy spider? The picture is connotated with the name "David Busfield", where I don't know if it is the name of the driver, or the photographer, or whoever. The uniform of the soldier looks French to me.
Thank you for answers, and regards,

-
Looks like the Mille Miglia, around 1950 or so.
Might be a Stanguellini or one of the other etceterini but it needs a bigger expert than me to say!
-
I tried my best to verify this. And OK - a Stanguellini 750 Sport with #202 shared the Mille Miglia 1956. It is still not easy to say because the type is so very variable. You cannot find a picture that exactly shows this body. A near hit is(https://www.ferrariexperts.com/2008%20first%20photos/stang%20at%2054mmsmontirrugolo.jpg)
So thank you Carnut!

For me, a real nightmare is 9286-AL-13. Such a clear picture, but the car is impossible to find! The two women and the bald-headed man look like southerners. The number plate should be French, "13" is the departement where Marseilles is located, so Southern France is an option for the scenery. But what makes ist worse, I think I got the same type in another picture. Now it stands in a museum. But still it was not labeled. Only difference I can see are the slots on the cowling. When I called it "Hotchkiss" that was for the Hotchkiss symbol on the wall in the background. But there is no such Hotchkiss. I think it must be a Renault. Nervastella 1932 or stuff. But should that not be possible to find? For me - impossible. Hopefully you know it!
Regards, RT

That's a 1935/36 Delahaye 135 Sport.
-
Thank you Wendax! That's really a relief for me! But your solution does not easily deliver a Google picture hit. I am going to store it as "Delahaye 135 Sport Coach 1936".

Yes, that's the one. I didn't search the web for a solution, I knew which books to consult. :)

Hi all,
thanks for your help so long. But there are some difficult things to come. Yor remember my first request (#1321) kept being unanswered. This and a couple of other pictures originate from the Flickr account of the San Diego Air and Space Museum (SDASM). The person who attends this, in my eyes, has not too much knowledge about aircraft either, the worse about cars. The pictures I talk about were taken in connenction to Timm Aircraft (then Glendale, CA). What happens is: SDASM inherits picture albums and publishes them on Flickr. Decades went since the pictures were taken. Nobody who knows anything is alive any more. So, there are pictures, and no writings to them. Even some aircraft kept on being unidentified. And now I come and demand YOU to identify cars that look like somebody created them in places close to the desert, where nobody else took notice about them.
Well, I don't want to be too pessimistic, I try my look and hope you know something anyway. See the next one.
Regards, RT
-
Last one unanswered? Well, I have to try my luck and go ahead asking, what else can I do? Although I expect nothing much better for #4...
Happy New Year to Everybody! Stay healthy!

It is a Ford Model T racing car. It is equipped with a Rajo cylinder head and is lowered by using under-slinging brackets.
-
I see. Thank you Wendax!
Now the next one hopefully is a bit easier. Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 is the nearest match, but I could not find another one showing exactly that snout. What is your attempt?
Best regards, RT
-
Anybody has an idea what this is?

It's a 1947/1948 Kaiser Special.

Belated Happy New Year to Everybody!
Now the next question. Here, not only the women are eye-catching. The very old car in this picture labeled "American Jubilee Performers 1939-40" is as well. Three pistons in oblique position over the front axle should be remarkable. Who can label this car?
Thanks, and regards,
RT
-
OK, trying further. One major source for me was the digitalization of the Dutch magazine "Het Leven". Expectably, they did not label car pictures very well, so I try to ask them here. Often they are from the Dutch Taxi scene. The brands may be British, French, German, or native Dutch as well. In the picture attached you see different Amsterdam Taxis of 1915. Please label them, if you can.
Regards, RT
-
Hi all,
I was busy in the meantime but now let me continue. The Amsterdam taxis #176 and #199 are surely of the same type. They (coach-like style) look much older than the ones I posted before but are said to be from 1920. So, if you know the type, please tell me!
Thank you, and regards,

I came across this one in a video about a Chinese rallye. It looks Italian to me, who knows more?
I've seen this one somewhere before, but can't place where at the moment. Seems like it may have been British-based, but I'm not sure (and LHD is giving me doubts). Let me see what I can come up with. If nothing else, I can contact someone I know who participated in the same rally and ask him what this was.
My apologies for not getting back to you on this one! The participant I knew was unable to recall any of the details about the car and then the subject slipped my mind entirely. I was looking for something else in my archive a few minutes ago and stumbled across an article about the Wagener which reminded me of your post in this thread. However, I see that the Wagener surfaced in an AP puzzle during my absence last year (https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/new-board/allemano03-2020/) and so your question was answered after all.

Thanks, what an interesting car.

Hello Pal and Alessandro (or anyone else able to help),
in the newest issue of Rare & Unique Vehicles there is a picture of an Italian microcar I can't recognize. Unfortunately the picture is missing a caption. Can you help identifying this cute little car?
-
This is the very first Moretti Cita 350 prototype, which was completed in early 1948.
Its body was judged by Giovanni Moretti to be too heavy-looking and American for such a small car and was replaced later in 1948 with a different one by Count Revelli di Beaumont, which was shown at the Geneva Show in March of that year.

Thanks a lot! I knew it looked familiar.

Funny, I've got a picture of the same car in my collection. It is most probably an Opel P4 with post-war bodywork, either done by a private person or a small unknown coachbuilder. The Opel has a post-1953 East German registration from Leipzig.

who can help me identify this small car?
no manufacturer's plate, probable USA origin.
the only clues I identified:
-flathead 6 engine from studebaker,
-front bumper from cadillac 41,
-inscribed on the WITHNEY steering wheel,
-The car is around 10-12 'long & 41/2' wide,
-1948 sticker on the windshield,
-a US Navy crest certainly from the previous owner
is it a prototype or a very beautiful handcrafted achievement?
-
Could it be a re-engined Crosley ?
-
The mascot looks like Buick, but the mascot base has a red circle that it seems like Bantam logo. The wings logo in the front reminds me the Austin brand. Just guessing
-
The chrome "fin" on the "trunk/boot" says "Scorpion" in a hard-to-read font. The original poster on the kit car blog indicated it was a Corvette. Did you try contacting him? (In spite of the image being from 2007).
Thanks, I found this car on the YouTube.
This is a Scorpion V8 kitcar from USA -
Wow wow!
This is a real wild beast beauty.
Do you have clear photo of it and more information , like year and base (l guess Fiero ?)
Thanks a lot !

Yesterday my daughter sent me a picture from Bari in Italy showing two cars in a small garage. (Some paternal influence in education must have been right ;D) At first sight the front car looks like a Lotus Seven, but I rather think it might be an Austin Seven special or something alike. Neither can I identify the car behind it. An Italian etceterini?
Who can help?
-
The front car does look very like a Lotus Seven, whatever the badging.. And it's RHD.
The car behind it looks rather like a Rochdale GT to me:
-
Thanks a lot. The rear car certainly is a Rochdale GT. I found a picture of the very car online (notice the number on the door).
Ergo: not all small red cars in Italy are Etceterini. ;D
-
Silver car:
-
I'm fairly sure the silver car is an Austin 7 Speedex Special. They seem to have been built with various different rear bodywork.
-
Thank you both. I'd agree.

Hello everyone,
a friend of mine found this car in a 1976 magazine. According to him it is electric and from Taiwan. We have no idea what it is called. Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks in advance!
-
This photo is the subject of much debate on another forum. I show an enlarged section of a bigger image of parked cars in an English market town.
Many have suggested a Lancia Aurelia\ but I doubt it. Not a Vanguard or a Pobeda. Any ideas?
-
With its V-shaped flat windshields and the sliding windows in the doors it looks like a home-built body to me.
-
Thanks. I agree with you, unless it's a temporary body fitted to a prototype chassis. It has an odd protruding radiator grille similar to an Austin of the period. Maybe the grille came from a scrapyard!
-
I guess a prototype wouldn't have such a huge roof rack. ;)
-
This alleged 'North Korean electric car' appeared in “Korea” magazine, January 1959. We suspect it's simply a rebadging/modification of a foreign car, but if so, what is it?
-
That's a Hillman Minx VIII.
-
Or more likely it's an Isuzu Minx PH11 from 1954, based on the Hillman Minx Mk VII.
Isuzu just used the British brochures for their own, hence the English family in the car!
The Isuzu Minx PH12 of 1955 was based on the Mk VIII Minx and had vertical bars for the grille with just one horizontal bar in the middle.
-
Thank you both very much. The Isuzu model seems more plausible as per the previous Japanese occupation of Korea. :)

Hey all,
I would say I'm pretty good at cars but I'm just not sure what car this is. (Croatia) My guesses are a Fiat Argenta, Toyota Crown Super Saloon or Nissan Cedric?
Thanks!

It should be a Fiat Argenta. As I understand your picture was taken in Croatia, then it is probably the license-built Argenta by Zastava.
-
Regarding the Britischer Eigenbau
It reminds me of this, I don't know who built it but it's said to be based on an Austin A40 Sports
-
This car has appeared on another website. Image taken in Moscow in the 1990s. I reckon it's a homebuilt custom on a pre-war chassis.
-
A 1939 Buick with some ZIM 12 parts (grill, indicators) as well as a ZIS 110 bumper I'd say.
-
Thanks. The other website had come to a similar conclusion. The angle of the camera and foreshortening had made me think the car waa smaller.
-
I know this is a case of shutting the stable door long long after the horse is over the horizon, but I still feel this would be better as another bulletin board with one thread per car. Certainly a "What is this - I don't know?" post/thread should not be on a puzzle board.

Wow, thanks for that. I really didn't expect any reply. The local history archive is https://kirkleesimages.org.uk/enter.php (I live in Marsden, part of Kirklees) the search facility is reasonable and I think there is another image of the same car. The images rarely have any detailed information which is frustrating as there would be some great puzzles amongst them. Please let me know how you get on. Regards John.

This is a Sunbeam 16hp of circa 1920. I don't know the coachbuilder, but it apparently had a local registration (I can't make it out here) so perhaps Rippon Bros? I don't have the Rippon book in my library, sadly.

Further to my last reply, by sheer coincidence I have just learned of the Lever Motor Co of Dewsbury which apparently bodied a Sunbeam 16/60 in 'polished aluminium in 1923' - some further quick digging reveals this is the very same car. Johno, if you see this, I'd love to get in touch with the group that has this image as it could be very useful for an article I'm writing at the moment...

It is certainly Albar Sonic related as it combines the headlight arrangement of the closed resp. T-bar roofed Albar Sonic GT with the rear end of the Albar Sonic Roadster (which had ellipsoid headlights as far as I can tell). Maybe it is the Snake Racing Sonic Targa (https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2015-44/solved-wendax-1654-snake-racing-sonic-targa/)?

The Albar Sonic kept on evolving during its production run. Some versions were quite different from the car you saw, but if you mix the front end of this targa version with the rest of the convertible below you end up with something very close.

This has been haunting me for a few days now. Does anybody recognise it?

I wanted this car to be a puzzle, but I found no information about it online. A nicely designed car with "Renault" on the side. Probably rear-engined, with a fiberglass body. It looks like it should have plastic gullwing door-windows.

Seems to be an Chaia GT Renault Dauphine 670-05 engine by Pulga 1974 Argentina
-
I have no idea about this one other than that it was photographed in The Netherlands and that the registration dates back to 1961.
But I'd love to know!
-
it looks a lot like an EB Debonair GT with the top cut off. But it isn't...........
-
who can help me? Maybe a Seat because I think that's a spanich registration
