??? No idea mate, is it set in Oz, as it seems to have a 'roo bar fitted? It looks like the mid-late sixties and it's a rare version of the PA/PB with a sliding drivers door and a side door too. In fact I've never seen one with a side door in real life. So gimme a clue!

Bond. James Bond. Diamonds are Forever. It's a scene from the ferry port where 007 is off to Amsterdam, I think if my memory serves me correctly, in a Triumph Stag. He has a fight in a lift, kills the baddy, makes a humourous quip, shags a bird and then flys to Vegas. Sounds like quite a good weekend to me.

No, it was an Austin-Morris J4. A bit like this one. I noticed they also used this type in The Boys from Brazil (which was on TV last week), probably one assembled in Portugal from a CKD kit.

Tricky! As soon as I saw it I thought two things. First, was The Lady Killers. Second instinct was immediately "Peter Sellers".
And I know it's not The Lavender Hill Mob, that was too early to feature an Austin J2, they'd have still been on the basic J-Type at that time.
Well I watched The Lady Killers over Xmas and I remember I was quite disappointed with the lack of classic vans etc, and they used an Austin FX3 taxi to cart the trunck of loot around. So that probably rules that out.
Thinking aloud, I'm guessing it's from a Sellers film? But which one? God knows, it's probably either I'm Alright Jack, Two Way Stretch or The Wrong Arm of the Law. But it's hard really say which, though the blokes in your pic do seem to be on some sort of a blag, so probably not I'm Alright Jack. So one of the others?
I love my old B&W Ealing comedies, just don't ask me about modern films!

Andy I'm impressed.
The answer is - The Wrong Arm of the Law
Considering it was not a Commer even more impressed.
Yea I like the old films, especially ones filmed around London. The first thing I say is bloody hell, look at the roads, no double yellow lines, no congestion charge and you can park almost any where.
I will look for some more film pics soon, to test you.
How are you with trucks? or is your forte vans only?

Not too bad at cars (though most mid fifties saloons were pretty dull, Austin Hereford anyone? :() and I reckon I could have a good go at 50s/60s/70s trucks.
Vans are easier as there was a very limited choice in those days. I think we've covered most of the BMC versions, though Bedford and Ford have not had a mention yet! Anyone remember from their childhood the Standard Atlas 20, which later became the Leyland 15/20?

I don't recall the vans but remember loving these little beauties when I was a nipper. A few belonging to The LMS railway were based at Wellingborough station and I remember seeing them struggle to ascend the hill from the station to the post office in town.
The second one is a preserved example and had the roof indicaters added to comply with modern regulations

Fantastic Bob, the Scammell Scarab. Apparently a version was made under licence in France by Chenard-Walcker, known as the 'Pony Mécanique'. Chenard-Walcker won the first ever Le Mans race in 1923. Small world eh?

Yes. I remember My Grandad when he worked for BRS driving one of those (fleet # 663) I used to go with him during school holidays. There was no passenger seat so I had to make do with a milk crate and a cushion. Those were the days the BRS gave a desent clock for 25 years service. I have my Grandads and even though it is engraved with his name ans the date it was valued at nearly a grand 5 years ago

One can only speculate what the BRS man, who proabaly wore a brown warehouseman's coat, had five biros in his top pocket, an untipped fag dangling from his bottom lip and a young whippersnapper sat on a milk crate in the cab, thought about your boarding school Fran.

Don't remember the smell of the truck Andy. I remember the smell of beer on my Grandad though, every day he would stop for his sarnies in a pub called The Jack of Trumps in March Cambridgeshire. He would religiously have 3 pints of best bitter and spend the rest of the day belching and farting, which brings me on to the best part of the BMC Noddy, Slideing doors. I thought they were the mutts nuts, as a 7/8 year old I thought it cool and somewhat daring to be traveling with the door open to the road, and it helped disperse the old mans beary farts. Bloody hell you wouldn't believe the memories that one picture has brought back, fantastic.

Leftie you're right about it being an Austin, it's a K8. They didn't make them for very long as the were killed off in the original BMC merger, being replaced by the more modern LD. God I'm sad.
Think you're right about the film too, and if so it's the Lavender Hill Mob, a classic comedy starring Alec Guiness.

Grrr! Trick question! The Bedford A type used a Chevrolet cab, which is why I asked if it was General Motors. The London-Brighton Classic Truck run came through my village last weekend, which was fantastic. I even saw the world's oldest Commer come chugging past. Later I was surrounded by Bedford J types (below) on Madeira Drive, Brighton. it is far more common than the A type that preceded it, with a bit more of a rounded cab, which is what threw me. Not as nice as the Commer Superpoise IMO (also below), which is what I originally thought you were trying to catch me out with. See how similar it is to your Bedford A Type? :)

Film - Correct - A Hard days night
Sandwiches - 99% correct - one was Shipmans Fish paste and the other was Cheese and Pickle (home made pickle in those days) - ;D
Now the next - the request was Bedford RL, so what was the film.

Skip this one, as just done a bit more homework and its a TV series from an old film. So does not count
So new film & new vehicle.
Whats the van, & Film ?????????

The one to skip is it "Day of the Triffids"?
As for the other one, for some reason I have a Norman Wisdom film, but not sure what, it might just be the milk truck thats leading up the path.

Correct on the film, but it was the TV series, thats why I removed it. Why do they not make a really good remake of The Day of the Triffids?
Come on the last one should be easy, at no it not Norman Wisdom. Far from it, but in hindsight it did turn into a bit of a farce at the end. BUt I'm sure it was not supposed to be. The remake was far from it! ??????????

Not sure of the film, but that ain't an army vehicle, so could be Home Guard etc.
The van appears to be a Thames Trader.
It was a 60's film as in the background that appears to be a Sunbeam Rapier.

Not sure whos van/truck it is, do some more homework later. But it almost looks like GPO (due to ladders on the roof and the great drab colour scheme)
The film was done in the early 60's
Come on I'm giving to much away! :-X
Oh yea, its not set in the war. So why the army?
What they are doing, strange as it is, may give a hint!

Sunbeam Rapier? Same engine as the Commer, though usually the 1600 version if it's the early sixties, before the 1725 was introduced across the Rootes range. Only one film I can remember with a Rapier is Village of the Damned.
Great film, it's a shame the wall collapsed on the Rapier!

Well done got it right - film that is, still waiting for the van/truck
The Film was Village of the Damned, written by John Wyndham - (The Midwich Cuckoos). Which was just on Radio 7 as a play. Very scary as a play and very creepy as a film
What the soldiers were doing was, as they had lost all contact with the village and every thing just seemed to stop. They sent a solider on a rope, so when he dropped they could pull him back.
And as an extra bonus, John Wyndham also wrote The day of the Triffids (see the film a bit below)
So we just need the vehicle.
Let me know if you need a hint!

It's a Thames, which was what Henry called his UK trucks before the Ford Transit came along. Before that they were called Fordsons for some reason, as were his tractors.

Correct
The truck was a Ford Thames Trader ET6 or ET7 - one was Petrol and the other diesel.
Until it starts up and you put your ear to the screen, you do not know. Just for the records this was well before the Audi diesels, which are way much more louder anyway
Some people call them just Thames Trader, but in my reference books their under Ford section.
I like the idea of a Red Barrel demonstration unit! What do you need to demo?
Ok
I'm off to look in my vaults for more.
Do not go away

Used to drive one of them tractors on Wyatt's farm in Bosham, prefered the Massey though, particularly the small 35, the 65 wasn't bad though. But the combine Klauus was a frigging handfull (1967/8)(School holidays to pay for trips and beer).

It's clearly either an Austin 1 Ton or a Morris LD, identical vehicles due to more BMC badge engineering... Made from 1952 to 1968 without any major inprovements, it was replaced by the BMC EA range which was very similar underneath, just with a more modern cab. And they wonder why Britain lost it's light commercial vehicle industry. :(
Film, no idea, it appears to be set in the desert. Giz a clue?

It was a Morris LD.
It was a pooled design with Austin introduced in 1954. They were marketed with different names on the bonnet, they were identical. Except the Austin version had four slits in the front grille.

No idea what film, but normally Mr Whippy was a good customer of the Commer/Karrier BF (see bottom pic). And yet that one looks strangely like an Austin FG. You remember them, they had the little glass windows in the cab so you could see what you were about to hit... I know this, I learned to drive in one! :o
It might be that the FG was only used by Superwhippy, in which case I stand corrected. It's an odd thing to have a truck with a two ton payload for use in the icecream business. ???

Wow - Correct film,
With a little help from my friends ;D
Karrier
Educational as well, this quiz.
Poo off to look for more films/vehicles.
Go and get yourself a "99" while away.

Karrier

In July 1970 the control of Karrier passed to Chrysler United Kingdon Limited. It would appear that since some Commer vehicles have been sold with the Karrier nameplate and visa versa

No idea what film, but normally Mr Whippy was a good customer of the Commer/Karrier BF (see bottom pic). And yet that one looks strangely like an Austin FG. You remember them, they had the little glass windows in the cab so you could see what you were about to hit... I know this, I learned to drive in one! :o
It might be that the FG was only used by Superwhippy, in which case I stand corrected. It's an odd thing to have a truck with a two ton payload for use in the icecream business. ???
Oh and FWIW I f**k*ng hated Tonibell icecream, it made me feel sick and their vans were sh*t.

According to my book
Quote
In 1955 a new series of Claymore 3 ton and 4 ton chassis was introduced, using new horizontal version of an older diesel power unit which was mounted amidships under the frame. This allowed a cab to be built forward of the axle, unobstructed by wheel arches. A 10ft or 11ft 10in wheebase alternatives was offered

Correct, did know know it was at Goodwood.
The smaller version, and this was more common, was used by the Millionaires, due to the cost of the conversion.
Told they were design (or picked up by) for boat people down on the Riviera, so they were used as a tender to the boat (lifted on or even had their own garage on board.
Yul Brener and Aristotle Onassis had one. I was told one guy had a right hand drive one, so he could step out of it straight on to the pavement.

The smaller version, and this was more common, was used by the Millionaires, due to the cost of the conversion.
Told they were design (or picked up by) for boat people down on the Riviera, so they were used as a tender to the boat (lifted on or even had their own garage on board.
Yul Brener and Aristotle Onassis had one. I was told one guy had a right hand drive one, so he could step out of it straight on to the pavement.

And the next one -What is it, (think we know who manufactured it)

Judging by the wheelbase, its a Massey Fergason 35, but could be a 65. It was registered in 1963 ('A' plate).
The contraption on the rear is a Rotovator (scarifier) driven by the PTO.
Not sure of the film. But judging by the age and the british film budgets then and the propensity to use old vehicles, so could be about the time of Cloclwork Orange (1971). An apt name really

Wrong tractor - it was built mid 50's

Next guess
Small hint - had a petrol engine for a particlar reason,
I could post another tractor pic, but that might give it away
NOTE - The quote has nothing to do with the tractor, it was from a 80's film.

Orange is normally a colour associated with Howard Rotovator. Not sure why it would only be petrol not diesel though? Unless it was for cold weather work? I presume it's petrol/TVO?

Yea, all there other tractors were diesel. (by a manufacture you have heard of ?)
These were made with petrol engines to keep the fumes of the plants (curious) which the plantation owners thought work damage their crop. The shape of it is important????
This is one fo 300 made and is the last remaining one, and it has been rebuilt due to the old rustmites.
Any more hints needed?

Tractor came from Brazil (it was used there), but not (to my knowledge) made there.
The manufacture/design is very famous, has a connection to Le Mans.
Ok - because people will get stuck down in details, these were design by a famous manufactor, but not made by them due to regulations. So two companies had licensing agreements from this company.
Let me know if you want a even bigger hint!

Quote
A CASUAL discussion during a dinner party late in July this year led to two British Army officers, a sergeant and a London croupier crossing the English Channel in two Amphicars from Dover to Calais, on 16 September 1965. A quick tour then followed through France, Belgium and West Germany to the Frankfurt Motor Show, and then a further trip through East Germany to Berlin to the works where these cars are manufactured.

Right, I'm going mental looking at this so I need to know if I'm hot or cold.
First impression was a Cisitalia 202, which is strikingly similar from the front but completely different at the rear. Then while looking at the rear I thought it might be an Alfa 8C 2900, which is strikingly similar from the rear but completely different from the front.
Help me out Neil...

Steve - your correct (well close enough) -It is an Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Le Mans Berlinetta
so close even thou you said -8C 2900B Le Mans

From the late 1920s, the six cylinder or 6C cars formed the main-stay of Alfa Romeo's limited production line-up. Much of the technology used in these road cars were directly derived from marque's dominating racing cars of the day. The six cylinder engine was developed throughout the 1930s and increased in size from its initial 1487 cc to 2443 cc at the end of the decade. The Vittorio Jano designed engine featured a cast-iron block with a light alloy double overhead camshaft head.
Introduced in 1939, the 6C 2500 was available in many different configurations. The line-up ranged from the 6C 2500 Turismo with a long wheel base chassis and 87 bhp engine, to the 6C 2500 Super Sport or SS, with a short wheel base and 110 bhp engine. These performance figures are factory quotes, when running on good fuel these figures are easily exceeded. The racing pedigree of the SS chassis was quickly proven by a handful of competition models produced, before the outbreak of the Second World War.
Like the road-going versions, the competion cars were delivered as rolling chassis for coach-builders to body. The six cylinder engine was fitted with three Weber carburetors, replacing the single unit used on the road cars. This increased the power output to (a factory quoted) 120 bhp. Further modifications to increase the performance of the all-around independently sprung chassis were not necessary. It was very similar in design to that of its bigger brother, the 8C 2900, which had already proven itself against stiff competition.
In the spring of 1939 Alfa Romeo sent three chassis to Carrozzeria Touring to be bodied for that year's running of the Mille Miglia. A huge accident resulted in the cancellation of the event, the three roadsters now made their debut at the Tobruk-Tripoli race. In good Alfa Romeo tradition, the race was dominated, resulting in a one-two-four finish for the three cars. The fourth chassis completed is featured above and was sent to Touring to be bodied with an aerodynamic 'berlinetta' body for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race.
Driven to Le Mans from Milan on public roads, the berlinetta was barely in time for scruteneering. At first glance it resembled the 8C 2900B Le Mans which dominated the 1938 running, leading with over 100 miles at one stage, until it retired with a broken valve. Together with the aerodynamic body, a larger fuel tank was the only difference between the berlinetta and the successful spiders. With Raymond Sommer and Prince Bira as pilots the 6C 2500 SS Le Mans was a strong contender for the overall victory.
Poor reliability again led Alfa Romeo's effort down. It was first dogged by plug problems and then lost an hour when the head gasket needed replacing. After all these repairs, it still didn't make it to the finish. After the disapointing result at Le Mans, the berlinetta was entered in a race once more, the 1940 Mille Miglia. It failed to record an impressive finish and Alfa Romeo missed the victory with a spider version of the 6C finishing in second place. The racing career of the berlinetta and spiders was cut short by the Second World War.
Unfortunately the unique Le Mans Berlinetta has not survived. In recent years at least two replicas have been built on existing 6C chassis. The featured example was built by Raoul San Giorgi in The Netherlands. It is shown above during the 2003 Paleis 't Loo Concours d'Elegance alongside other competition Alfa Romeos. During the 2008 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance a second replica appeared, wearing a different chassis number.

The car is an Audi - Auto Union Type D concept car by Lukas Vanek - I think is looks sexy and I bet it not a bloody diesel or is it?

Check out this amazing race car, a creation of Lukas Vanek who is a young designer from the Czech Republic. This concept of 2008 Auto Union Type-D is influenced by a design which is nearly 70 years old and is designed from two different materials i.e. carbon fibre and metal skin. The structural support is provided by carbon fibre and the authentic look is given by the metal skin. The car is powered by the 6.5 litre twelve-cylinder engine producing 478 KW horsepower. This nonstop concept can offer you the top speed of 186 mph. Once you sit in this car, you will get the modern feel and excitement. So, get ready to zoom in this large wheeled race car.

Correct - Spot on - The storey is below,
Quote
The vehicle ran into the parapet of a bridge on which it had previously been working, coming to rest with the front of the vehicle overhanging a field.
The under-bridge unit teeters over the bridge parapet
No other vehicles were involved and no one was injured it is not certain how the accident occurred but investigations are continuing.
The road next to the Crook O'Lune car park had been closed overnight while the maintenance work was carried out. The company said that the platform had been about to leave the site after successfully completing its task which the incident happened.

Piece of piss. Don't let Dr Sconefinger see this, he will go hopping mad! Alfa; Bertone: my guess is a 1969/70 1750 GTV. Maybe a 2 litre of slightly later build?
How about Alfa Spider 1750.

Correct - Dr S - and you win a beer.
Funny thing was, when people where guessing the Alfa interior, Lorry said Fulvia - so I thought someone would get it very quick.
But it had to be left to that Italian Dr S expert.
And now for the next one - another interior - you may need a bit of help from Amazing 1 or Lee or one of of he other quiet resevered guys from Sebring ;D
and then I'll choose something very difficult so get your toys out.
Title: Re: One for Mr Z, Which film
Post by: Lorry on July 22, 2008, 02:19:27 pm
Whoops, was there a Fulvia saloon too. It was a pure guess as there was no Alfa badge, and there were too many dials for a Fiat.
The badge on this one is visible, but nothing I recognise, and the dash looks more European, even Kit car. So Yank low volume car from the 80s, but not a Delorean. Its too reserved to be American - there's nothing big or flash. I'd say Jeep, but there only one gearknob

The first one was just an XR3 I think, the injection and the 5th gear came a bit later if my memory is correct.
My dad traded in his BRG Stag for one, and it was the first car I drove to Le Mans, with my parents, after being a passenger in the stag for a few years.
Only been a passenger once since, when i went with my brother in his bright yellow Alfa sud Sprint that only he could find 5th gear in.

Ok asI'm on my hols from Friday -I will answer this question - The Island is Burgh Island in Devon - a great art deco hotel. Never stayed in it, but remember climbing all over the island and the outside of the hotel when in was a ruin in the 70's. Also watching the sea tractor going across the sand each day and even breaking down, just like everything in the 70's.

The link is that Jensen built the early P1800 bodies but did a pretty crap job of it and they all rusted as only Jensens can. Volvo soon cut them out and built them elsewhere.

Seeing as this bloody thunder storm's keeping me awake tonight, thought I'd log in and have a look. Go with me as I think aloud...
Is it's an XJS, if so that's The Saint with Ian Ogilvy and the other is maybe Patrick Magee in the New Avengers? But the gear knob's wrong, as is the rest of it really so I know it ain't that. My head is shouting "Stag Stag Stag" but it looks too way big, and indeed special for a Triumph interior with MFI wood, so perhaps it's an Aston from the Persuaders? But then again it's the wrong colour for Brett's DBS? And it's not an Aston interior.
Grrr, I'm never gonna sleep now...

My dad, who claims to have had a Ford Prefect, thinks his had a floor mounted gear change and the engine did not look like the one in the picture, so once again I agree with Lorry.
He thinks it may be something from Standard. ???

Okay, try this one...
To start with it's a side valve engine and I would hazard a guess at early Morris Minor with 748cc engine.
But could be the larger Oxford or Isis.

Well gents, you're both wrong though I can see why you might think the top one was a Standard Vanguard or whatever. In fact it's a 1951 Hillman Minx with sidevalve engine which was later given an update with an OHV head and a capacity increase and fitted to various Rootes Group vehicles incl...
you know the rest... ;)
I'm surprised nobody on here has got the second one, and so I'm not saying what it is except it's not a Triumph. In fact it's from a vehicle often featured on CA by one of our regulars, though it's appearances have been less recently...

Humber, yes. Sceptre in fact.
Same as the Hunter though, they were both "Arrow" models, they did a mid-range Singer Vogue too, though it's hard to imagine Madonna in one. Humbers had fancier woodwork and more chrome, a bit like a Montego Vanden Plas compared to the 1.6HL. You get the picture...
(http://www.rootes-chrysler.co.uk/images/develop/devhunter_07.jpg)
Anyway the Hunter was manufactured in Iran in massive numbers, (about 2.5 million) and they only packed in making it in May 2005.

Initially I thought it was an AC 728 but it's too short and the wheels don't match the issue.
Then I thought it could be an Abarth, then got no frigging idea.

I know where you are coming from with the AC idea- similar nose treatment but this is the work of Bertone not Frua. This car almost had a rampante cavalino on its nose- a clue to help you out.
Title: Re: One for Mr Z, Which film
Post by: Andy Zarse on August 01, 2008, 09:59:48 am
It's got what appear to be Alfa GTV (Bertone designed) wheels and the top front wings look like they're off an Alfa Spider. Meanwhile, the back looks like a Fiat Coupe. I'm guessing it has a small Ferrari Dino V6 engine? So is it some sort of Alfa /Ferrari one-off made for a motorshow?
Title: Re: One for Mr Z, Which film
Post by: Lazy B'stard on August 01, 2008, 10:43:56 am
Edging slowly towards the answer but still some way off.
I will say that it isn't a one off but a production car. The engine is much smaller than you would think and the engine size is part of the cars name. The car also ran twice at Le Mans.
That should help you along nicely!
Another clue is that Luigi Chinetti sold them in the states.
Its a tough one so worth three beers for a right answer.

Thought it may be an Osca, but they have entered LM more than twice but they did have links to Chinetti
so maybe a Moretti 750?

After a bit of a google search I believe it is a ASA 1000 GT Coupe built by Bizzarrini in the early 1960's. Raced twice at Le Mans but did not finish.
Engine was designed by a Mr Ferrari and supposedly based on a 250GTO engine.

Spot on Simon- well done!
Engine was the first 4 cylinders of the right hand bank of the 250 GTO engine- 1031 cc producing a rather heady 96 BHP at 7000rpm. Chassis was built by Bizzarini and body was by Guigiaro whilst at Bertone. 95 were built plus a handful of competition versions and 11 spiders. It was unveiled in late '61 and first cars were delivered in late '64 at Lire 2.76 million. Performance for standard car was 0-62 in 13 sec and a top speed of 119 mph.
ASA closed its doors in '67.

Think Bizza after the infamous 'palace' walkout but before he went on his own. Where did he go (with Carlo Chitti amongst others)? Cryptic clue- Hovis!

There was only one 'La Camionette' I think and thats not a picture of it is it?
Could it be the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo/Bizzarrini Special 2053GT that came before the Breadvan?
Unless there was a another version or are we barking up the wrong tree
Did ATS make a GT car? its displaying the Scuderia Serenissima Republica di Venezia flag on the side I think

Never heard of it before, been great fun reading thru all the stories that link Count Giovanni Volpi, Ferrari, ATS, Bizzarrini etc, all coming together to give us the 250GTO, Bread Van, ISO Bizzarrini etc.
I doubt if any other country could have produced them.
One of the reasons for the palace revolt was Mr Ferraris slowness in embracing rear engined cars, was this maybe the first rear engined Italian GT car?

The biggest reason for the palace revolt was Mrs Ferrari's big mouth. She was a bit of a dragon by all accounts. A little like someone I know ;D
What a wonderfull era the 60's were in Italy for car building- the list of breathtaking cars is endless. They were more than just cars and finer than any other art form in my eyes. Thats why I have no interest in anything modern- it all looks far inferior by comparison- which is quite sad really for a car lover like me.
Oh well, who's going to fox us next?

that was tough and fair, being a 308 engine would that mean it was derived from a Ferrari. just a thought, don't know for sure?
The engines were built by Serenissima themselves. more than one version was made and the original 3 litre unit was used in Bruce McLaren's first Formula 1 car before he switched to BRM power.

The Hovis link was bread- breadvan- count volpi- scuderia serenissima. Do try to keep up Zarse!
The engine was, I think, labeled ATS. It wan't very good by all accounts- lacked power and was unreliable.

The breadvan was the nickname given to a Ferrari modified by Bizzarrini on behalf of Count Volpi when Ferrari refused to sell Volpi a 250GTO because he was backing the new ATS team.
Bizzarrini's last project before he left Ferrari was the 250GTO, so Volpi got him (and the others who left at the same time) to recreate a better car.
Bizzarrini was a friend of Count Volpi's but did not design the Serenissima 308 as he was working for ASA by then.
But given the resemablance to it and the ISO Bizzarrini 5300 its hard not think there remained some link.

As you say it was not a success being a bit under powered and went thru a couple of versions, but the 3 litre one did power Bruce McLarens first F1 car before being dumpedI'd like to fill in a few gaps on the story of this car- even though most car buffs have never even heard of it it is quite an important little milestone in Italian sportscar history. Its a rather complicated story but rather compelling. I'll try and keep it brief......
Giorgio Billi and and Argentinian Jaime Ortiz Patino form the snappily titled 'Societa Per Azioni Automobili Turismo e Sport Serenissima' in the turn of the sixties in Bologna. A 20 year old Count Volpi then takes a 20% share in the company soon after and suggests a name change to 'Automobili Turismo e Sport' or ATS. They build 11 rather pretty sportscars, a sports prototype and a rather poor F1 car before going bankrupt in late '64. During this time Carlo Chitti and Bizzarini arrive in '62 after the ferrari walkout and amongst other projects they build the now famous Ferrari Breadvan.
Count Volpi then returns as Automobili Serenissima and teams up with Sterling Moss' spanner man Alf Francis and ex-ATS engine man Alberto Massimino to show Billi and Chitti they could build a better sportscar. Massimino brings with him plans from his ATS days of a quad cam 3 litre V8 engine- aborted due to lack of funding. He also designs the gearbox from scratch. Body was styled by ex FIAT and Pininfarina man Franco Salomone (who penned the Ferrari 275 GTB). The new car, named the 308 Jet Coupe is tested by a dismissive Paul Frere in early '65 and a comprehensive re- design is required before its first appearance at the '65 Le Mans test weekend. Unfortunately the car sucks and is 50 seconds a lap slower than the fastest Ferraris and the project is canned.
Alf Francis then does a deal and the engine is removed and fitted in the back of Bruce McLarens first F1 car. It is a huge dissapointment and fails in its first race. The engine is hastily re-built and holds on to bring Bruce a 6th at the British Grand Prix- McLarens first ever world champion constructors point.
The Serenissima, now engine-less is sold to Piero Drogo and dissapears for almost 30 years in Switzerland. The now tired engine then goes to Kansas with Francis and is instaled in a Lola Mk6 GT (believed to be one of the Ford GT40 development hacks) and is raced until 1978 in various club events, it is sold to Drogo and re-united with the car (which by now wears chassis number 003)
Meanwhile our man Volpi now teams up with Alessandro de Tomaso and they re-name the company Serenissima Automobili and commision a young Tom Tjaarda to design a car which is named the Agema. Count Volpi then panics when the tooling costs spiral out of control leaving De Tomaso to go it alone. the car becomes the De Tomaso Mangusta. Serenissima limps on until 1970 as a race entrant with a Can Am McLaren, which Volpi enters in various races for Jonathan Williams- until Williams walks away to race the Solar productions Porsche of Steve McQueen at that years Le Mans. The protype Agema still hangs from a wall on a rack inside Count Volpi's castle to this day.
Chassis 003- The 308 Jet, the only one built was restored in 2004 by Noel Rieben and Millenium Racing in Switzerland. It still wears its original paint and made its first public appearence in almost 40 years at the 2006 Villa d'Este Concorso d'Eleganza. It still owned by Piero Drogo to this day.
I hope I haven't bored you to death with the story of that little car. Never a success but never the less a very important car.

Clue 1: As a clue, not sure whether these were a standard fitment but there are a few Singer and Ford (3.3ltr) engined versions around.
Clue 2: There is a manufacturer link between Jensen, Lea Francis, Wolsely, Austin and Lanchester. (Andy even you spelt Lee Francis wrongly on an earlier posting).
The spurious racing comment was because I photographed it at Brooklands. I have contacted the owner through a club and await furth details.
Both Lorry and Firefly were on the right track.
Clue 3: The pic is of a '2 seater', they also manufactured a 4 seat tourer.
Any ideas?

That also discounts Lagonda, Lanchester, MG, Hillman, Humber, Riley and Sunbeam, plus quite a few others. Still there are still about 600 makes to go
Last guess, a Standard Swallow

I have had to do 'work' the last two days :( hence lack of involvement. So had some family time to boot. Albeit you are all classed as an 'extended family' so to speak.
So to continue.
Ok, Ok, Judging by some postings there is a tad of frustration in the air :laugh:
The car in the photo is an Avon Standard Special or as Standard would prefer, a Standard Avon Special circa 1930/32. (I'm awaiting history from owner).
The general history is as follows..................
The New Avon Body Co.Ltd. was established in 1922, just one of a prolific group of bespoke coachbuilders based in the heart of the British motor industry, in this case in Warwick. Their early business was dominated by coachwork manufacture for Lea-Francis, however an association with The Standard Motor Co.Ltd. was forged through the Jensen brothers who asked Avon to put into production one of their designs built on a Standard Nine chassis. Jensen influence and design flair on both Standard and Austin chassis certainly established New Avon as a coachbuilder of some significance and, although the Jensen brothers involvement was short-lived, the arrival of designer C.F.Beauvais on the scene ensured the continuation of elegant sporting models which appeared on such marques as Wolseley, Austin and Lanchester. For the 1932 season New Avon exhibited no less than four Standards on Stand 99 at The Olympia Motor Exhibition, two 16hp Coupes, a 'Big-9'Sports 2 seater and a 'Little-9' Coupe, promoting the models as 'for the discriminating motorists who are looking for a car giving economical, fast transport, with compelling beauty of line and finish'.
I did a search through the clues, although it took some time, Avon was a common denominator.
Good luck on the next one.
So to continue.
Ok, Ok, Judging by some postings there is a tad of frustration in the air :laugh:
The car in the photo is an Avon Standard Special or as Standard would prefer, a Standard Avon Special circa 1930/32. (I'm awaiting history from owner).
The general history is as follows..................
The New Avon Body Co.Ltd. was established in 1922, just one of a prolific group of bespoke coachbuilders based in the heart of the British motor industry, in this case in Warwick. Their early business was dominated by coachwork manufacture for Lea-Francis, however an association with The Standard Motor Co.Ltd. was forged through the Jensen brothers who asked Avon to put into production one of their designs built on a Standard Nine chassis. Jensen influence and design flair on both Standard and Austin chassis certainly established New Avon as a coachbuilder of some significance and, although the Jensen brothers involvement was short-lived, the arrival of designer C.F.Beauvais on the scene ensured the continuation of elegant sporting models which appeared on such marques as Wolseley, Austin and Lanchester. For the 1932 season New Avon exhibited no less than four Standards on Stand 99 at The Olympia Motor Exhibition, two 16hp Coupes, a 'Big-9'Sports 2 seater and a 'Little-9' Coupe, promoting the models as 'for the discriminating motorists who are looking for a car giving economical, fast transport, with compelling beauty of line and finish'.
I did a search through the clues, although it took some time, Avon was a common denominator.
Good luck on the next one.

Had the time do some research now:
Entering the 1970s, Triumph decided on a two-pronged attack on the sports car market: Bullet was the TR6 replacement incorporating, like the Stag, a roll-over bar and T-bar. Lynx was the closed coupé, to replace the GT6. Like all Triumphs since the Herald in 1959 (and excluding the Karmann-designed TR6), both cars were styled by Michelotti.
so Bullet on the left - Lynx on the right

Morris Commercial CDSW Field Artillery Tractor Reg.No JMX 842.
The Morris 6x4 Tractor was brought into service in the 1930's to tow heavy field guns like the 25 pounder but was not as manouverable as the later Morris Quad which replaced it. Many CDSW's were left on the beaches at Dunkirk after the evacuation and were repaired and used by the German Army.

Surely that can't be an '1100', with bonnet bulges like that it must be a large twin cam or a 'V' engne.
But i seems to be the norm these days, I could be wrong.

It has an all alloy 1100cc twin cam engine. Not sure what you mean with the number plate- it is displaying a dealer's plate in the pic, not the original plate. Car was constucted well after the Germans had left in 1948.

If you look at it, with the front grill and the two side grills on the front, it has a bit of BMW look to it.
But thats still no flipping help

As SL seems to have gone back into hiding, the fate of the Wolsey was the same as that of an A40 and VW Beetle, the other 2 I recall.
My big brother and his mates would buy an old car and with the best intentions of putting them back onto the road, then thrash the nuts of them on a disused car park close to our house until they broke and they run out of knowledge on how to fix them, usually a week.
At least one, the A40 I think, was intended to go banger racing with, but it never left our drive until Billy Bridges picked it up a few months later.
It should be noted that one of those mates, now restores and races classic 50's and 60's cars, so i suppose the trainning did pay off for at least one of them.

That is about it but the cars did last more than a week!
From memory, after the 16/60 there was a minivan, VW beetle, A40, 1950's Ford Consel, and another mini.
The A40 was going to be raced until someone put the engine into the radiator (don't ask how!), wrecking the rad, hoses and engine mounts, although the mounts may have gone beforehand. As for the rest, I think the VW's clutch went, mini rotted away, as did the Wolsey, and the consel's gearbox broke (old "3 on a tree" shift).

Its not a very well know fact, but during the nineties the Sultan of Brunei kept RR & B Motors afloat by commissioning 21 vehicles. 7 each of 3 different body styles. 1 of each to be kept at his various residences around the world. This may be one of those very vehicles. Each of the cars was hand built by RR & B's in house coach builder Mulliner Park Ward

Was there not another rumour, that the S Of B, did not like people owning things he owned, he just kept them and parked them up.
Was told this about is a story about his super yachts, so guess it must be close to his cars as well.

I do know that there were certain styling features on the cars he had commissioned that were not allowed to be replicated on any of the main production vehicles...one of the reasons why you don't see Rolls or Bentleys with the trendy 'shark gill' brake cooling vents in the front wings :) So it is probably true about him hoarding stuff rather than let other people own it.

One of the Sultan’s most recent acquisitions is this amazing and unique £500,000 Rolls Royce, photographed in London. A Silver Spirit Mk IV has been transformed into a 6.75l sports coupé with a sloping 350Z-style rear and scissor doors normally found on a Lamborghini Murcielago.
This particular Spirit of Ectasy and its carriage were designed by DC Design, an Indian firm owned by Dilip Chhabria. Chhabria qualified in Transportation Design from the Art Centre of Design, Pasadena and went on to work in the Design Centre at General Motors. He kicked the job in to launch his own automotive styling company in India and DC Design now offers vehicle and plane styling, show car and prototype building, customised and armoured vehicles building and, oddly, bespoke furniture.

1955 ABARTH Cisitalia 207/A Boano Spider corsa ex Piero Dusio
Wiki
Quote
Piero Dusio (October 13, 1899 – November 7, 1975) was an Italian soccer player, businessman and racing driver.
Dusio was born at Scurzolengo, province of Asti. His active soccer career (three games for Juventus 1921-22)[1] ended in a knee injury, after which he started a textile business (oil cloth), which evolved into sporting goods as well as becoming supplier of military uniforms. He raced in the Mille Miglia (1929-38), was sixth in 1936 Italian Grand Prix, winning Mille Miglia in a Siata 500cc (1937), and formed the Scuderia Torino (1939).[2][3] He commissioned Dante Giacosa of Fiat to develop a racing car (1944), and formed the «Consorzio Industriale Sportiva Italia» (1944). The firm became Cisitalia and involved Carlo Abarth, Rudolf Hruska and Ferry Porsche. Dusio won in the Giovanni Savonuzzi-completed car's premiere race at Coppa Brezzi in Turin (1946).[4]
Piero Dusio continued financing racing car projects, but the expenses in engineering the complex 202MM[5] almost ruined Cisitalia (1947), as well as involved the Juventus corporation (where Dusio was president 1941-1947). Consequently, Dusio moved to Argentina and established Autoar (Automotores Argentinos) S.A.I.C. (March 22, 1949)[6], financially supported by Juan Peron.[7] His son, Carlo Dusio continued to run a refinanced Cisitalia company in Torino (1948-1964).[8]
Dusio tried but failed to qualify for one Formula One World Championship grand prix (Italy 1952) with a Cisitalia D46, but he failed to set a time in practice due to engine problems. He raced in the Buenos Aires Grand Prix in 1954, and also started Cisitalia Argentina Industrial y Comercial SA, planning cars such as the Cisitalia 750 (1960).
He died at Buenos Aires in 1975.

The Fiat Turbina is one of those odd little engineering exercises which eventually fade into the ether. As a car, it certainly was interesting to look at, beautiful even, and wore high fins way before they were cool. But the really slick stuff was under the skin. The mid-mounted powerplant consisted of three different turbines all working together. Two acted as compressors for the third, which in turn powered the wheels. With peak output of 220 HP at a staggerin 22,000 RPM, the Turbina was capable of a very respectable 155 MPH.

OK Correct and correct - Well done.
Vehicle - GMC DUKW
Film - The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash
Smug Points - Southport Beach - used by the coastgaurds, as the tide use to come in very fast and people use to get stuck by the tide. (not sure if they still use one)
Also - Southport beach has a good motoring history - In the 1920's Southport was the most important place in Britain for motor racing (see http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/northwest/series10/week3_racing_southport.shtml )
examples - Henry Seagrave's 1926 attempt on the Land Speed record
The Hundred Mile Race held at Southport in 1930

How about this on from the 60's.
I reckon you can guess the make fairly easily, but the question is where was it raced before the USA? There was only one of these to my knowledge. It is now back in the UK but after these pic's, it was race successfully in the 'States.
To help, there are two B&W pics.

This part of the action took part inside the cafe.
Sad bit is I think this cafe was on the Colnbrook by pass - I really do need to get out more.

Ok - bit more on the pic, this company is still in existance (from europe - depending on the times) Very well known for its trucks in certain fields. Also known for its cars it use to make - in fact I'm sure most people have desired one at one time. A major manufacture copied one of its designs years ago.
This van is a pre-production unit used for a famous (well I was told it was) expedition in the early 60's.
Any more than that, will give it away.

OK some explanations of my statements made.
Tatra is the third oldest car maker in the world after Daimler Mercedes-Benz and Peugeot.
Tatra specialised in air cooled engines and all wheel drive trucks (4x4, 6x6, 8x8, 10x10, 12x12) were very popular with the army and also in the Paris Dakar rally

Come on Paddy, you have your HGV liecence, imagine driving this (I want to!)
Between 1921 and 1937, Hans Ledwinka was the chief design engineer again at the Tatra company (originally Nesselsdorfer-Wagenbau) in Kopřivnice (Nesselsdorf), then in Czechoslovakia, now in Czech Republic. Here, Ledwinka invented the frameless central tubular chassis (so-called "backbone chassis") with swing axles, fully independent suspension and rear-mounted air-cooled flat engine. Other major contribution of Ledwinka to automobile design is the development of car body streamlining and its introduction into mass production
Volkswagen controversy
In June 1934, Ferdinand Porsche received a contract from Hitler to build three prototypes from designs Porsche already had, such as Porsche's 1931 Type 12 car. The three cars were completed in winter 1936. However, the original car designs follow from the innovative ideas of Hans Ledwinka,
Ledwinka's concepts were copied by Ferdinand Porsche, who knew Ledwinka personally and exchanged ideas with him. Tatra sued Volkswagen about the breaches of the similarities in the Volkswagen design which has been virtually copying Tatra T97. The lawsuit vanished as the Nazi Germany invaded Czechoslovakia in 1938 (one way of getting rid of a lawsuit), and Hitler ordered the production of Tatra T97 to be halted. Only 500 cars were produced.
Porsche's successors later had to acknowledge the influence of Ledwinka's Tatra models on the Porsche-designed Kdf-Wagen of 1938 (later known as the VW Beetle), and a new post-war lawsuit resulted in a DM3,000,000 settlement paid by Volkswagen to Ringhoffer-Tatra.
So the link was VW Beetle.
The car people would desire for is (well you have to say for a 30’s car it looks good) is the T87

Yes is does.

The engineers Miroslav Zikmund (born 1919) and Jiří Hanzelka (1920-2003) undertook two long-term travel expeditions. During the first one, between 1947 and 1950, driving a mass-produced Czechoslovak passenger car Tatra 87, they traveled through Africa and South and Central America. They undertook the second expedition between 1959 and 1964, using two prototypes off-road vehicles Tatra 805, and they visited some states of the Near East, monsoon Asia, Indonesia and Japanese Islands, and most of then-Soviet Asia.

OK some explanations of my statements made.
Tatra is the third oldest car maker in the world after Daimler Mercedes-Benz and Peugeot.
Tatra specialised in air cooled engines and all wheel drive trucks (4x4, 6x6, 8x8, 10x10, 12x12) were very popular with the army and also in the Paris Dakar rally

Come on Paddy, you have your HGV liecence, imagine driving this (I want to!)
Between 1921 and 1937, Hans Ledwinka was the chief design engineer again at the Tatra company (originally Nesselsdorfer-Wagenbau) in Kopřivnice (Nesselsdorf), then in Czechoslovakia, now in Czech Republic. Here, Ledwinka invented the frameless central tubular chassis (so-called "backbone chassis") with swing axles, fully independent suspension and rear-mounted air-cooled flat engine. Other major contribution of Ledwinka to automobile design is the development of car body streamlining and its introduction into mass production
Volkswagen controversy
In June 1934, Ferdinand Porsche received a contract from Hitler to build three prototypes from designs Porsche already had, such as Porsche's 1931 Type 12 car. The three cars were completed in winter 1936. However, the original car designs follow from the innovative ideas of Hans Ledwinka,
Ledwinka's concepts were copied by Ferdinand Porsche, who knew Ledwinka personally and exchanged ideas with him. Tatra sued Volkswagen about the breaches of the similarities in the Volkswagen design which has been virtually copying Tatra T97. The lawsuit vanished as the Nazi Germany invaded Czechoslovakia in 1938 (one way of getting rid of a lawsuit), and Hitler ordered the production of Tatra T97 to be halted. Only 500 cars were produced.
Porsche's successors later had to acknowledge the influence of Ledwinka's Tatra models on the Porsche-designed Kdf-Wagen of 1938 (later known as the VW Beetle), and a new post-war lawsuit resulted in a DM3,000,000 settlement paid by Volkswagen to Ringhoffer-Tatra.

After the invasion of Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany, Tatras continued in production, largely because Germans liked the cars. Liked them too well, in fact; many German officers met their deaths when pushing heavy, rear-engined Tatras faster around corners than they could handle. In fact, the Tatra became known as the 'Czech Secret Weapon' for the scores of officers who died behind the wheel; at one point, it seems, official orders had to be issued forbidding German officers from driving Tatras.

The Moxie Company is the oldest bottler of soft drinks in the US. Years ago they had a fleet of six of these cars which were used for parades and publicity. The driver sits atop the horse and drives the car using the stirrups as the accelerator and brake.
Only one of the original cars still exists. Originally based on a 1929 LaSalle,
Known as the Moxie Horse Car.
Possibly the photo is of a replica based on a 1927 Rolls Royce.
Film clip of the car being driven here!

Thats the world famous Budweiser "Land Cruiser" c. 1925.
The car was equiped with working cannons fore and aft but it is not know if it ever sank another car and is the only one with a bell.
BTW, There is only one left of the 8 made, the Budweiser II Land Cruiser, Original made on a Pierce-Arrow chassis, but changed sometime in its history to a caddy. The car was found in 1960 and had a full restoration in 1990 and the chassic changed again to a another 1930's caddy.

Put Aston and Atoms together and you get the Aston Martin Atom.
It had a space frame with aluminium body. An assortment of engines were available.
Built 1939 - 1944. David Brown is said to have liked the cars so much he brought the company.

They still make cars today, but do not sell in the UK anymore, not since the 80's. But have told they are due back in the 2009/10.

1934 Goliath Pionier |
Borgward was a German car manufacturer that made quite a few interesting models, and yet very few ever found their way to the United States. Goliath, was a subset of Borgward that operated from 1928 to 1959 and specialized in three-wheeled cars and trucks such as the unusual car in this photo.
This car is a 1934 Goliath Pionier. In the early-to-mid thirties people in Germany were looking for inexpensive personal transportation. The Pionier was created to meet this need. This car, a three-wheeler with a 1-cylinder, 2-stroke engine, was cramped and weak but met the modest standards of most German drivers. The wooden body was covered with artificial leather and mounted on a strong U-profiled chassis. In 1934, 4,000 units were sold.
Goliath continued to upgrade and innovate its micro-cars into the 1950s. Eventually, however, the company lost market share to the new VW Beetle and the DKW F89P Meisterklasse, cheaper cars that had more interior space and power.
The Goliath brand died in 1959. Borgward, which had built its first car in 1929, survived in Germany until 1963. Later that year all manufacturing equipment for the Borgward Isabella and P100 (their final two models) was sold to Mexico where production was continued until 1970

Quote
In 1930 Alfa Romeo presented a light truck in addition to heavy LCVs based to Büssing constructions.[19]In the Second World War Alfa Romeo also built trucks for the Italian army ("35 tons anywhere") and later also for the German Wehrmacht. After the war, commercial motor vehicle production was resumed. In co-operation with FIAT and Saviem starting from the 60s different light truck models were developed. The production of heavy LCVs was terminated in 1967. In Brazil the heavy trucks were built still few years under the name FNM (Fàbrica Nacional de Motores). Last Alfa Romeo vans were Alfa Romeo AR6 and AR8, which were rebadged versions of Iveco Daily and Fiat Ducato. The company also produced trolleybuses, which were used by many cities in Italy. Later, Alfa Romeo concentrated only on passenger car manufacturing.

the cars are slightly different, the b/w version has wider wheel arches than the version in glorious technicolor, so are there to be two answers?
According to my records, they are the same car, the b&w pic is a racing spec one with covers over the rear wheel arches for better streamlining.
The car is a made closer to home than the last guess.

Andy - you are really doing well, those dishwasher and washing machine web sites must be getting boring, and you back looking at car web sites again.
Correct - 1938 'Embiricos' Bentley (http://www.manager-magazin.de/img/0,1020,597323,00.jpg)
Quote
The unique 'Embiricos' Bentley B27LE was instigated by the
Paris Rolls Royce & Bentley agent Walter Sleator as a
response to the increasingly futuristic looking cars from
Bugatti, Lago-Talbot and other French manufacturers which
made the current English cars look somewhat dull. Greek
banker André Embiricos, who lived in Paris, wanted a unique
car based on the Bentley 4.25 chassis and commissioned the
car designed by Paulin - a Parisian dentist - and the resulting
coupé was built by Parisian coach builders Pourtout.
A true super car the Embiricos Bentley with its mechanical
enhancements, streamlined design and lightweight
coachwork was a phenomenally advanced car; just how
advanced was demonstrated in 1949 - a decade after it had
torn round the Brooklands circuit covering a staggering
distance of 114 miles in one hour - when it was entered
privately at Le Mans and finished sixth. The 'Embiricos'
Bentley went on to compete in the 1950 and 1951 Le mans
races.

It did have the rings on the grill, but guess what - I photoshopped them out. Otherwise it would have been toooooo easy.

Bits of it hint at cars, but nothing matches so far. Not sure its a US car, being white would suggest that but it looks too well made and tidy to be a one off special.
The photo also has an odd quality about it, could neil be playing a trick on us and the picture is a screenshot or something to do with the film Speedracer?
also whats that pod thing next to the front LHS wheel. Its painted to match but its all very annoying.

YEA -well done - spot on (how many hours on the pc looing for it ?)
The motor is a Zil 112-S - 1962, pic taken at Riga Motormuseum. Looks like a good one, anybody been to it?
Quote
One of the most successful Soviet racing cars, ZIL 112 S, appeared in 1962. As most of Soviet sports cars, 112 S used parts from production Soviet cars, for example front suspension was taken from GAZ 21 Volga, though the rear suspension was fully original. However, as well as disk brakes on all wheels (rear brakes were settled down to a main gear). Of two cars built, one had the V8 6-liter engine providing 230hp, and another - 6,95-liter V8 capable of 270hp, both developed from ZIS 110 unit. Depending on the engine, the 112 S could run 260-270km/h. Just as the enignes, transmissions were taken from ZIS 110, too, but redesigned slightly to apply lightened aluminium carter. Compared to earlier 112 modifications (will post them later), 112 S had shorter wheelbase (2190mm) and less weight (1300kg).
Driving the 230hp car, Viktor Galkin came 3rd in 1963 Soviet championship, and in 1965 the 270hp 112 S won the championship with Gennadi Zharkov at the wheel.
In 1962 one of the cars received a brand-new more closed body and a pallet, covering all the technical elements from below for breaking a Soviet landspeed record. The 112 RG, as it was named, was taken to Astrakhan' region to race on Baskunchak salt lake. But that year Baskunchak was washed by the rain (which, in fact, was almost never seen there), and the 112 RG reached 200-230km/h only - tyres couldn't run faster on such surface.
The second attempt was taken at just built 14-kilometer Dmitrovski autorange. That time ZIL guys planned to beat a record of average speed during the 24h race (don't know whether the car should've been 112 S or 112 RG, in fact later rebuilt back into 112 S), but as the car and the track were prepared, the winter began, and no record attempt could be taken. Next year ZIL direction considered building racing cars an unnecessary capital waste, and switched to another spheres.
Long time both 112 S cars were standing somewhere at the factory and later found their places in Riga automuseum both painted in wrong colors - red and cream-white, though an original ZIL livery was white and blue for both of the cars.

Powered by a BMW engine, the Peraves MonoTracer is a two seat, fully enclosed motorcycle – with training wheels. The Peraves is designed to retract the trainers when moving and balanced. Once going it can lean up to 52 degrees in a turn. (I’m not sure if that would feel cool or strike panic)

OK Judgement call.
Both are correct - Manufacture is the same - Peraves from Switzerland,
But the model
Ecomobile is (http://eco.peraves.ch/bilder/Brno07/P7243947.jpg)
and
Mono tracer is (http://eco.peraves.ch/bilder/Brno07/P7233257.jpg)
website - http://www.monotracer.com/index.php?lang=en , which has links to both models.
If there are anymore questions, then we can visit the factory any Sat for a drive,
So the answer is: PERAVES AG - monotracer
So onto the next pic - what is the bus?

That is a Nissan Figaro (in Pink)
Driven in the Sarah Jane Adventures also the Dr Who forth series (in emerald green)
These were based on the Nissan M*c*a
Only 8000 were made at the start but a further 12000 were made when people brought the things (no accounting for taste).
These were made in 1991 available only in 4 colours after the 1989 motor show.
Emerald Green
Pale Aqua
Lapis Gray
Topaz Mist
.....No mention of Pink there but i understand some have been resprayed in "Barbie Pink"
I am afraid to say there is one of these pesky motors that resides not far from my house.

Mr Big, in an attempt of world dominance has invented a machine (lower picture) that will transmit different photoshopped pictures of Blue Ford Transit vans (upper picture) to anyone who logs onto the site. If you look closely I think James Bond can be seen in the lower corner of the upper picture.

The 1966 GM Electrovan is credited with being the first hydrogen fuel cell car ever produced. Though fuel cells have been around since the early 1800's, General Motors was the first to use a fuel cell to power the wheels of a vehicle

From the outset, the idea was to use a Corvair as the first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and call it Electrovair. But, GM soon discovered that a leak with the electrolyte used caused "brilliant fireworks", plus it weighed 550 lbs. and needed to be housed in a larger vehicle. There was also the incident of the exploding hydrogen tank, which injured no one but sent pieces flying a quarter of a mile, which was of great concern and extra safety precautions needed to be taken to insure that no one working on the project was injured.

As a guess, I think it is a Dinky Vauxhall Cresta Saloon 164 released in March 1957.
Advertised in the may 1958 issue of Meccano Magazine price increased to 3/-.The model was in production during 1957 - 1960.
Based on the 1956 E series car that had the larger rear window and a revised grille.
The original price was 2/11 .
It was available in red & cream, green & grey finish.

The Xylon or Ugly Duckling
Designed by Frank Costin, famous for the Vanwalls and numerous Lotus sports racing cars, the Xylon was (and still is) better known as the 'Ugly Duckling', due to its uncompromising appearance.
Built purely as a race car to compete in 750 Motor Club events, the car was unusual for its wooden chassis, but this gave it a very light weight and in the hands of Jackie Stewart, Jem Marsh and many others, it achieved outstanding success.
The car was powered by a Ford 105E engine and it's high roof was dictated by Jem's considerable height (something which makes all Marcos cars a good choice for taller drivers, to this day). The original car was built in Dolgellau, Wales by Frank Costin and Dennis and Peter Adams, but it was later built in a small production run in Luton.
Back to red I assume.......

Well done Barry - I'll give you that one.
The car is - Henry J - Model K514 Deluxe six cylinder
Details
Quote
The 1951 Henry J was introduced at a Chicago showing in February 1950 as the "Red Car", but was not officially on sale till Sept 28, 1950. The 1951 Henry J is often described as “Spartan.” This is an accurate description, at least for the earliest Henry Js.
The Henry J was manufactured using funding from a government loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corp. Part of the agreement was that the car would sell for $1300. To achieve this, features such as trunk lids and glove boxes were not included. Passenger side sun visors and twin horns were not included in the 4 cylinder models in order to meet the price of $1299 FOB.
Engines were supplied by Willys-Overland; the four cylinder motor was the same engine used in the CJ-3 series Jeeps with only slight modifications to component parts; the block and internal components were interchangeable with the CJ-3 jeep.
Frank Zappa recalls in his autobiography the torment and horror of travelling cross-country sitting on the bench-like rear seat of a Henry J (he called it an "ironing board from hell") in the 1950's.

That man is correct, looked at the history of it and it seems to get more expensive and more money focused. 1986-20 people - 1996-8,000 - 2007-47,000. And now read that they are going to run it as a francised business, other sites around the states and may around the world. Sounds like greed takes over from fans - where have I heard of that before.

There are hints of corvette about it and the large rear badge is another pointer.
Could it be a police car with those chrome things that look a bit like 1950's police lights on the wings, but there is no signage.

Checked with the designers work, he has done designs and logo's of some very well known products.
So what concept car is it? and who designed it ?
Oh yea, the fate of this car is unknown, so it could well turn up as a barn find one day Quick check those barns!!!!

I wonder if it could be a 1955 Jaguar XK140, Loewy Custom
Penned by Raymond Loewy who designed for Studbaker cars. He also designed among other things, steam locomotives, Hillman Minx, Lucky Strike Logo, Chubb logo, Greyhound busses, Exxon & Spar logos and the interior of Concorde.
The car is probably a 3.8 ltr 6 cylinder, infomation is a bit thin on the ground,

Well done Simon - a FULL 7 points.
How did you know?
Quote
In 1956 Raymond Loewy designed a sports car for Jaguar. Loewy had left Studebaker in 1955 and gone abroad to build a series of sport coupes. Among these were the Jaguar in 1956, a BMW 507 roadster displayed at the 1957 Paris Auto Show, and a Lancia, unveiled in 1960. These rare photos of the Loewy Jaguar are from the Gottscho-Schleisner Collection in the Library of Congress. The fate of this unique Loewy treasure is unknown. The popular Jaguar XK-E, designed by Malcolm Sayer only a few years later in 1961, was a radical interpretation of Jaguar traditions. In 1961 Sayer's XK-E could only be thought of as revolutionary and must certainly have influenced Studebaker president Sherwood Egbert's mandate for the Avanti. Loewy's proposals to the Avanti design team (in March 1961) to minimize chrome; avoid decorative moldings; stress long, down-slanted hood; abbreviate rear and tuck under, and pinch waistline, as le Mans-type racing cars were more characteristic of the radical new XK-E than his own earlier Jaguar proposal.

Need to know the Manufacture name used for promoting this range and it's model name.
This is the second generation version of the car.

It is believed that the idea for the vehicle came about when Dr. Thomas C. Poulter was unable to travel 123 miles to rescue Admiral Byrd due to the inhospitable conditions in the Antarctic.
It was relocated in 1958 under many feet of Snow and Ice. Current whereabouts is subject to conjecture. It was either taken from the Antarctic by the Soviets during the Cold War, or it may still be buried under the Ice, or, more likely, it was in an ice floe which broke away and and thus would now be somewhere at the bottom of the Southern Ocean.
I also believe this vehicle featured in one of Clive Cusslers Dirk Pitt adventures.
Pink ball please.

What an amazing thing, I thought it was from some thunderbirds type program, never imagined it had been built!
To fill in a few gaps, the whereabouts of the cruiser are unknown, some say its in the USSR but most likey its now on the ocean floor after it was abandoned by the research team in the early 40's before being found again in the late 40's then lost for good.

Strange but true.
The angle box was great, did you know that laying on the roof you could hold the edge of the car by the rain chanels above each door, while tucking your feet into the rear window for extra grip. Which made it harder to get you thrown off the car. -Things you do when your a kid - ::)
Now on to the red ball
What can you tell me about this, not sure if the interior cushion was design by Habitat or Ikea.

righto, the launcher vehicle looks like the genuine item, the launcher rails looks wrong to me as they usually have a ladder section. It looks like the picture was taken on an 'american' base in the states and they look like they are tethering the scud thing to the ground. so i'd say it is an inflatable decoy.
operationally, it would look like a genuine launcher until the IR glasses were used ;D ;D ;D ;D

That weird green Mantis - the original Marcos use of that name - was a very trendy car for slot-racing in that era. People like GT Models would produce acetate "blob" bodies for cars quite cheaply, and I certainly bought a Mantis, although whether it ever got a chassis and onto the track is another matter entirely. I think Model Cars magazine, then the slot-racers' monthly bible in the UK, ran a feature on the prototype, which will have helped. The slatted back end has a bit of Miura about it, perhaps.

good guess, how did you work that out
Back min with a red, in the mean time having a red of my own.
Nice Spanish red - Castillo de Calatrava.
so I'm all right as long as I don't follow it with another colour!

Not tried that one yet.
But my system of choosing wine
1, colour - is it red or red
2, Price, (is it on offer)
3, country - (my only attempt to be a wine buff ::))
5, how it looks - nice bottle
6, have I got the money in my pocket.
this one was done by No's - 2 & 3
But the main factor -2, PRICE - Sainsbury 1/2 price - so less than £5.

It's a :
Gatso Platje, 1949.
Fiat 1500 chassis (shortened), Fiat 1.5 litre six-cylinder in-line OHV engine, Dubonnet independent front suspension, finned alloy brake drums.
The car was nicknamed "Platje" = "Flatty".
Leading at the National Sportscar Races held at Zandvoort in 1950, a rear wheelrim centre gave away, putting the car and its driver/constructor out of the race. Flatty was equipped with ultra-lightweight wheels specially made in France, which aided the performance of the car whilst also providing better brake cooling. Unfortunately, the one on the left rear failed to stand up to the high cornering forces generated on the Zandvoort circuit.

My memory's going, and I usually need a clue. Its so infuriating when you recognise the shape, but can't remember the name. I was even looking through the Tour Auto entry lists.
The JS stand for Jo Schlesser, and old friend of Liger who died in 68? at Rouen, when the magnesium air cooled Honda caught fire. Another reason to dislike Rouen.
The circuit was a road circuit, half way between the cow roundabout and the start of the N138. Just some nice roads in the countryside. The pits and grandstand were knocked down a few years ago

Quote
Guy Ligier (born 12 July 1930) is a French former rugby player and racing driver.
He first made his name as a rugby player in the late 1940s when he was working as a butcher's assistant in his home town of Vichy. An orphan, he was determined to build up a successful business and saved all his money in order to buy a bulldozer and then went into the construction business. When his rugby career ended - after he had played for the French national team - he began racing motorcycles before trying his hand at single-seater racing with a Formula Junior Elva.
With motorway construction booming in France, Ligier was able to build a large construction empire and during the period made important friends in local politicians François Mitterrand and Pierre Bérégovoy.
In the late 1960s Guy started racing Porsche sportscars and even raced in F1 with privately-entered Cooper-Maserati and Brabham-Repco machinery. Neither was very successful and so in 1968 Ligier decided to form a partnership with Jo Schlesser and the two bought a pair of McLaren Formula 2 cars. Schlesser was killed that year on his F1 debut at the French Grand Prix, at the wheel of the curious air-cooled Honda F1 car, and Ligier decided he had had enough and retired. He decided that he would build racing cars instead and hired Michel Tetu to design the Ligier JS1, a production sportscar (the initials JS were a tribute to Jo Schlesser). The company was built up in sportscar racing but at the end of 1974 Ligier bought the assets of Matra Sports and embarked on a Formula 1 team. This began racing in 1976 with Jacques Laffite driving. The team became highly-successful in the early 1980s with Laffite, Patrick Depailler and Didier Pironi driving. In 1981 Ligier's old friend François Mitterrand became President of France and when Ligier ran into trouble in 1983 the President ordered that government-owned companies such as Elf, Gitanes and Loto should supply sponsorship.
Ligier also had preferential treatment when it came to engines, political pressure being applied to Renault to force the company to supply the team, which used Renault engines between 1984-86 and in 1992-94.
The Ligier-Mitterrand-Bérégovoy alliance reached its peak in the early 1990s with the reconstruction of the Magny-Cours racing circuit as a new headquarters for Ligier and as a racing circuit to host the French Grand Prix. President Mitterrand and Prime Minister Bérégovoy backed the idea.
In 1992 Ligier realized that the socialist government would not last forever and sold his team to Cyril de Rouvre. He used the money he gained to corner the market in natural fertilizer in central France and set about building another fortune. Within a few months Mitterrand's socialist party was annihilated in the elections and Bérégovoy committed suicide.
Ligier also built a successful business building Ligier micro-cars. The Ligier team eventually came into the ownership of former driver Alain Prost and was renamed Prost Grand Prix.

My post from last night seems to have gone lost.
Its not HD, or JAP, (or Indian?) because its overhead valve, and its older than it looks - about 1918 would be my guess, n.b. military colours. Doesn't look like a Brough, and something in the back of my mind says bicycle, so is it a Rudge or a Raleigh?

Pope L18 motorcycle Pre 1918 as that is when they ceased making motorcycles
It may have a 61 cuin V twin engine and unusually for the time had rear suspension.
Pope ceased motorbikes during the war to make guns then restarted making bicycles after the war.

Quote
Pope Manufacturing Company is a manufacturing company started by Albert Augustus Pope in Hartford, CT. The company began with the introduction of the "Columbia" High Wheeler in 1878. Pope bought Pierre Lallement's original patent for the bicycle, and aggressively bought all other bicycle patents he could find, amassing a fortune by restricting the types of bicycles other American manufacturers could make and charging them royalties. He used the latest technologies in his bicycles -- inventions such as ball bearings in all moving parts, and hollow steel tubes for the frame, and he spent a great deal of money promoting bicycle clubs, journals, and races. Until 1896, Pope was the leading US producer of bicycles.
Pope Manufacturing was an innovator in the use of stamping for the production of metal parts.
Hiram Percy Maxim was head engineer of the Motor Vehicle Department.
1914 Pope motorcycleIn 1897, Pope Manufacturing began production of an electric vehicle. By 1899, the company had produced over 500 vehicles. The Electric Vehicle division was spun off that year as the independent company Columbia Automobile Company but it was acquired by the Electric Vehicle Company by the end of the year.
Pope tried to re-enter the automobile manufacturing market in 1901 by acquiring a number of small firms, but the process was expensive and competition in the industry was heating up.
Pope declared bankruptcy in 1907 and abandoned the automobile industry in 1915.

Although, if main manufacturer, it could be Lancia. I'm guessing here.....Tipo, but that is far as I can find out.
Wiki was useless, Google not much better.

Odd one this. It could even be a Ferrari. The grill does look a bit like a later Lancia or a Routemaster bus, but the MGA styling and steel wheels suggest its too agricultural to be Italian. If its not british it could be yank, but Briggs Cunningham was doing something different

Old type BRG.
Aero V12 Engine of about 16 to 21ltrs.
Chain drive,
Front is missing grill I think as it has a 'cowcatcher' and the shape aerodynamic somewhat so is intended for speed records methinks, also the covered spoked wheels.
I'd say British, so here goes:-
Lanchester or Lagonda but not Bentley, but could be Nash or even Railton. No googling yet.

Normally a red ball follows the colour (in this cases blue). As black was nominated, can I cliam my 7 points please....

So just for that you get 5 x extra Ahh Mr Bond points
That all also helps me as I could not find a black car in the black dark cellar, must get a brighter light bulb.

Do you mind, I was playing to Kent rules. You always have a Black after the third blue ball (second pink, forth brown etc)
And I can't find a picture of a retrovisor anywhere
Didn't one of the le Mans Porsches from the late 60s have a periscope? (907/8/10) I recall a lot of white louvres instead of a window and a lump on the roof

Well done Phil, yes American.
The car was designed by an American inventor & entrepreneur. Was into broadcasting, and made automobiles named after him. Was owner of a major baseball team, even had the stadium named for him, until mid-season 1970. When they moved stadium.
He sold about 75,000 cars before closing down in the early 50's. Unusal for them, after the war, they made a small, light in weight, and low-priced. It sold for $850 and got between 30 and 45 mpg. Unfortunately, good gas mileage ceased to be an inducement after gas rationing ended.
He had a hand in radios manufacturing and even fridges!!!

So would say a east europe/russia or far eastern asia or pasific isles.

Ok - bit of a hint, the truck is western european, they know longer exist as a direct truck manufacture, but were swallowed up another truck manufacture and then another, and now are part of one of the biggest truck manufactures (iv u can work that out)
the blocks under the wheels, normally were designed to stop the truck rolling away and in this case into an aeroplane, as they usaullly sat around for a while and were not moved much. (have you ever seen someone trying to drive away a truck that has been chocked - funny) Hence most airfield vehicles had low mileage, but that that does not mean they were looked after any better, when I use to work at Heathrow, even I was surprised how much damaged and abuse airport vehicles got.

It's a Locus Plethore
The nicknamed « the Quebec bomb », a high performance “supercar” with an exotic design,
This luxury high performance car, completely manufactured in Quebec by HTT Locus Technologies,
The PLETHORE has been imagined and designed by Mr Luc Chartrand, an electronic and composite material specialist, who has combined all his personal skills and abilities in order to create his “dream car” !!!
The PLETHORE’s body and frame are entirely composed of carbon fiber, the very same material used in F-1 cars for its lightness and solidity. With its high-tech interior design, room for three people and a central driving position, the PLETHORE should amaze and attract many car lovers.
“Not only does it offer incredible visibility from the central driver position, the car also provides room for as many as three people up to 6’6” in height… a first for this class of vehicle”, comments an impassioned Mr. Chartrand.
Powered by a 750 horsepower engine (standard) or an optional engine of 1,300 horsepower capable of exceeding 330 KPH, and with an overall weight of 1,100 kg, the Pléthore is an extremely powerful vehicle as demonstrated by its amazing weight to power ratio.
HTT Locus Technologies plans to limit at 400 the numbers of PLETHORE manufactured annually. The car’s retail price is $330,000 CDN and its exotic design is simply breathtaking!
Is that the sort of answer you wanted?
How many beers do I get?

“Not only does it offer incredible visibility from the central driver position, the car also provides room for as many as three people up to 6’6” in height… a first for this class of vehicle”, comments an impassioned Mr. Chartrand.
Powered by a 750 horsepower engine (standard) or an optional engine of 1,300 horsepower capable of exceeding 330 KPH, and with an overall weight of 1,100 kg, the Pléthore is an extremely powerful vehicle as demonstrated by its amazing weight to power ratio.
HTT Locus Technologies plans to limit at 400 the numbers of PLETHORE manufactured annually. The car’s retail price is $330,000 CDN and its exotic design is simply breathtaking!
Is that the sort of answer you wanted?
How many beers do I get?

I go local with Croisant & Pain Chocolot. Not sure they have Cidre but it is a fine option for breakfast.
Neil if you can lay on the cooking facilities we can do it on site with a grocery run ahead of time.

Then the going in for breakfast and beer in the cafe there. Which was actually very good -as all cooked fresh in front of you.
Plan for one of the breakfast - bacon butties - with nice hand cut bacon from my butcher up here (he hates me at theat time of year, as he has to cut so much by hand !) Just got to find a f**k*ng big grill, as when I cooked at Silverstone a few years ago - my bbq took ages - started at breakfast time finished by lunch time ! - It was so bad the dutch had to swithc to beers at one stage, to hold them till the food was ready - life is so hard ;)

Best one was the box under the the table in his hotel room, Hotel New Yorker, room 3327 - where he said he had a tool to destroy the world. A lot of his stuff wnet missing after his death and things where never found.
Reminds me af the Ark crate in the first Indiana Jones film. (http://newcountry973.com/images/rotla.jpg) -"We have our top men working on it - Mr Jones"

Crikey, that took some digging, but I think it is a 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Aerodynamic Coupe with coachwork by Jonckheere.
Originally delivered to its owner wearing a more humble Hooper Cabriolet body in 1925, it was sold to the Raja of Nanpara soon after. It changed hands again but stayed in England until 1934, when another owner sent it to Belgium to be re-bodied by Carrossier Jonckheere. It is often called the "Round Door" Rolls.

It is a 1959 Simca Special, designed by Virgil Exner Jr.
It was created as his dream car for his master-thesis at the University of Notre Dame. It is based on a 1950 Fiat Chasis, with some mechanical parts from Simca. The glassfibre body was moulded by Exner himself, at the Dual-Ghia assembly plant.
Later, the car was sold to a Chrysler dealer, and in 1965, the car was bought by Beau Hickory.
Under his hands, the car was converted from a show-car to a daily driver,
adding the panoramic windscreen (coming from an Opel), and the T-Bar-roof. Years later, the car was sold to a friend of Beau Hickory,
he did some additional work on the car, for example, the engine was replaced by a Datsun one.

BWM 328 Special
The Rosenheim manufacturer Hans Klepper ordered delivery of a chassis from the Munich BMW dealer Automag on 1st June 1937 and commissioned the coachbuilder Wendler in Reutlingen to build a special body with a streamline shape.
The technical design was created by the German streamline pioneer Baron Reinhard Koenig-Fachsen. He designed the coupe based on the principles developed by Paul Jaray. Helmut Schwandner, Wendler’s in-house designer, looked after the implementation of the design and created the “cheese-grater”‘ grille characteristic of Wendler.

Thanks to wikipedia :)
The Daihatsu Bee is a three wheeled microcar that was produced by Daihatsu Kogyo Co Ltd from 1958.
Although Daihatsu had been producing motorized tricycles for carrying freight since 1930, and had produced a small car for military use in 1937, the Bee was the first passenger car the company had built for sale to the general public. The car was marketed from October 1951, shortly before the company changed its name from Hatsudoki Seizo Co to Daihatsu.
Photographs show the car with a two door fibreglass body, though other sources state that it had a four door body and was popular as a taxi. Power was provided by a rear mounted 540 cc OHV air-cooled two-cylinder four stroke engine.[1] The car was adapted from one of Daihatsu's three wheeled delivery trucks. It was released for sale in 1958, and sold very few units - Really ?? ???
Hmm OK, time for a yellow methinks.

mmmmm, well its not AWD, but the chassis manufacture does have military skills and also makes crane chassis.
Have been in business for over 150 years and made one of the first horse drawn fire engines.

Take a near-bankrupt automobile manufacturer and a company that makes personal transportation vehicles used mostly by colleges and you’d think you’d have a disaster on your hands, correct?
Apparently, such is not the opinion of General Motors and Segway. The two companies are teaming up to create the PUMA, or Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility Project. The vehicle, shown above, will feature a 35 MPH top speed and will get a measly 35 mile charge on its lithium battery pack.

Strange, but I think I can see a military version of this sometime.

OK All, Neil is going to be busy for the next week, so he will be unable to get down to his cellar too often. He has asked me if I might be able to scrabble around in my attic and take over for a few days. Doubt I can keep up the same usual standard, but I am willing to have a go.
So, for the next red, what can you guys tell me about this baby?

May have to give you some hints then.
This company was started in the 50's with the first customer cars coming in 1957. The creator of this marque, was a fighter pilot during the Korean War who went on to earn a degree in aircraft engineering at University of California at Los Angeles. He was competition focused and won 27 first place trophies with this model.

Indeed, it is a Kellison. A J4-R to be exact, so share the point there lads.
The Kellison car company was founded in the 1950s by Jim Kellison. He spent over two years of designing and testing before the first kellison was offered to the public in 1957. These orginal early kellison bodies were very flimsy so in the following year of1958 more refinements were made to the cars. Kellison added inner fender panels firewalls dashboards assembled doors and other small improvements in order to make the final product easier to build and enjoy. These early bodies where constructed using a chopper gun technique. This technique let the user work quickly while a strict quality control was inforced. One of the first cars offered by Kellison was the J-4. It is a low slung two seat sports car. Avaliable as either a sport coupe or roadster. With a roof hight of only 39" it was a awesome sight in the late 1950s. These early cars came with a Chuck Manning designed box tube frame. It employed beam axles at both ends. A later updated X frame used corvette suspention at both ends was developed by the kellison company. You could purchase a original J-4 for only $640.00.
So, a request for a blue. This may be pushing it a bit, but what can you tell me about this?

It was designed and manufactured for Universal Pictures by concept car maker Trans FX. A movie mock up or something. Apparently designed to fit on to a Poitiac Fiero chassis.

Indeed, it is the Blue Djinn, originally created for the movie Fastlane, which never aired.
The car was built by TransFX, one of the most prolific and sought after Specialty Car Companies in Hollywood. TransFX has built Batmobiles, BatBikes, and even the BatWing for some of the "Batman" movies. They built the "Cricket" for A.I., and who knows how many others...
A company called DjinnEV.com is now intending to produce and market 50 of the beasties.

another Chrysler Airflow ?
:o :(
Oh Poo Bars, I totally missed the previous one. At least mine is a proper photo though >:D
Strictly speaking, it is a DeSoto Airflow. DeSoto being a division of Chrysler as Mr Brown has previously pointed out. From the front bumper back, the Airflow's design represented the first major attempt to smooth away the wind catching objects and channels found on cars of the era. Headlights were moved from their traditional pods forward of the radiator, and housed in flush mountings on either side of the broad waterfall-styled grille, which lacked the traditional upright radiator throat and decorative cap ornament. In place of the flat windshield that most cars had (and which caught the brunt of on coming winds as cars moved through the atmosphere), the Airflow split the windshield into two panes of glass, each angled to better redirect the air around them. Front and rear fenders received smoother, more form fitting curves. In the rear, Airflows encased the rear wheels through the use of fender skirts.
In addition to the benefits of its smoother exterior design, which translated into a quieter passenger compartment than on previous DeSoto models, the car featured wider front seats and deeper back seats with more leg room. Because of the car's unibody construction, passengers rode within the frame of the car, not on top of the car as they did with other American makes. It also boasted a stiffer body and better weight distribution through the engine placement over the front wheels, in contrast to the common practice of placing the center of the engine's gravity just behind the front wheels.
OK, back soon with a Red.

Ronn Motors Scorpion
The sports car does not follow the current hybrid/electric trend, but will use hydrogen as a fuel source. According to its manufacturer, the Scorpion is powered by a gasoline/hydrogen fuel blend, with 30-40% of the mix consisting of hydrogen. What makes this car especially interesting is the fact that you don’t need to find hydrogen on the side of the road, water is enough.
Ronn Motors said that the Scorpion can produce hydrogen on demand by fracturing water molecules drawn from a small on board water tank. As a result, the car will not need a high pressure, on board hydrogen storage tank. The manufacturer promises that the car will hit about 40 mpg.
The engine used in the Scorpion is based on the unit used by Acura in its 2008 Acura TL-S sedan, rated at 289 hp in the Scorpion. Ronn Motors will offer a twin-turbo option of the powerplant offering about 450 hp. The car will be initially available with a 6-speed manual, with a 6-speed automatic following in 2009, the company said.
Since it is described as an exotic sports car, yes it has a limited production run (no numbers mentioned yet) and it comes with a hefty price tag: $150,000.

In order to encourage people to buy motorcycles in the thirties, the French government allowed pedal-assisted motorcycles under 50cc to be exempt from registration and the need for a driving license.

Indeed, a Dauer 962 ;D
(http://www.carsplusplus.com/pictures/1994/67087/photo.jpg)
Info from Wikipedia states..
The Dauer 962 Le Mans is a sports car based on the Porsche 962 racing car. Built by German Jochen Dauer's Dauer Racing, a racing version of this car went on to win the 1994 24 Hours of Le Mans with the support of Porsche through the use of regulation loopholes.
Dauer Racing (now Dauer Sportwagen) produces the 962 Le Mans from actual Porsche 962 chassis which are stripped down for modification. Components of the bodywork are replaced with slightly revised carbon fibre and kevlar panels. The under tray is replaced with a flat version for better stability at high speeds. The interior sees the addition of a second seat and leather is added to the cramped cockpit, as well as a video screen for DVD playback in later years. Luggage was offered to customers through the addition of a small compartment in the front of the car. A hydraulic suspension system has also been added in order to meet German ride height requirements.
(http://www.autozine.org/Classiccar/Car_Photo/Dauer/962LM_in.jpg)
For a powerplant, the 962 Le Mans would use nearly the same engine as the original 962: Porsche's water-cooled Type-935 2994 cc Flat-6 with two Kühnle, Kopp und Kausch AG turbochargers. Since the road car did not have to meet racing regulations, the air restrictor was removed allowing for an output of approximately 730 hp (544 kW). A 5-speed racing gearbox was also retained.
The first production car debuted at the 1993 Frankfurt Auto Show. While orders for the cars were taken, Dauer worked with Porsche to develop the two racing cars for the following years' 24 Hours of Le Mans. After Dauer's victory, attention returned to the road cars where at least twelve more were built over the years.

" Accordingly to information from autoblog.com, this car was a one-off special at the Mitsukoshi department store in Tokyo’s Nihonbashi district during July 25th - 31st 2006. As there is only ONE car, all the interested buyers will have to register and one lucky buyer will get to buy the car for ¥2,100,000 (About US$18,200) — 200,000 of which goes to Japan’s UNICEF. "

The Princess Kitty is finished in pink, with matching paint applied to the wheels. The Hello Kitty trademark ribbon logo is applied to the front doors and roof, while the rear doors get a "Princess Kitty" graphic with the lovable cartoon character's face. The back window also gets a large Hello Kitty face decal. The sideview mirrors feature Hello Kitty's face in relief.

Inside, occupants rest on pink-and-white striped seatcovers adorned with the "Princess kitty" logo. The headrest covers are the shape of Hello Kitty's head, complete with ribbon on the left ear. It may be the friendliest-looking kei car ever made.

So it's the Lightning GT
"The Lightning car company is proud to release one of the UK’s first electric sports cars for 2008.
Combining classic, British sports car design with racing car technology and state of the art NanoSafe™ battery power and Hi-Pa Drive™ electric motor innovation, the Lightning has been developed with exhilarating performance front of mind.
Whilst its head-turning looks will appeal to the most discerning of drivers, unlike other sports cars, the Lightning is also easy on the conscience.
With virtually no polluting emissions, this energy-efficient car uses clean technology and will have the ultimate green rating. Following production of several petrol Lightnings and with the electric prototype build now well underway, the electric Lightning GT is now available to pre-order.
Electric vehicles have maximum available power at the wheels at any speed, unlike a petrol engine where maximum power is only obtained high up in the rev range. To deliver this power to the road the Lightning will use electronically controlled traction control which negates wheel spin and unbalance in the power being applied.
The stunning performance of the Lightning GTS will likely surpass almost all large engine high performance sports cars in the 0-60mph range. The sensation of harnessing power and performance will be felt by the sheer exhilaration of the power pushing you back in your seat as the car accelerates.
Because there is no engine, the Lightning has a maintenance-free motor with just a few parts and together with the control electronics and special batteries, will not need anywhere near the servicing of other sports cars.
NanoSafe™
Until now, battery technology has hindered electric vehicle innovation. In 2000, US company Altairnano Inc. established a research programme to create an ultra safe, high power battery using cutting-edge Nanotechnology. The result of their hard work is the NanoSafe™ battery.
SAFER - NanoSafe™ batteries use nano titanate materials instead of graphite which makes them far more thermally stable - there are no toxics or heavy metals used in NanoSafe™ batteries.
Hi-Pa Drive™
Hi-Pa Drive™ from PML Flightlink Ltd. is a revolution in motor technology and it’s a British innovation to boot! With its integrated motor and drive electronics in one single unit it produces an ultra high power density - up to 20 times more than conventional systems.
The compact, energy-efficient, electric wheel motors produce unrivalled levels of torque with internal heavy-duty tapered roller bearings that can withstand heavy radial loads for robust use. Yet they achieve the power to weight ratio important for the performance sports car capability of the Lightning.
Other features include total weather proofing, total energy transfer and several levels of redundancy, so any single failure will not prevent the vehicle from operating safely.
Hi-Pa Drive™ has recently become the choice of Volvo who has incorporated it into its ReCharge concept, launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show towards the end of last year."

It does look odd for a BMW. It has a Lucas indicator and and American style screen, so it must be for the American market. It might be one of the Russian copies, like a Dneipper (which suggests its actually Ukranian), but its far too tidy.
I don't think BMW actually made leading link forks, so I think its a conversion for the US market, probably be Krauser, or one of the other German sidecar builders

IMZ (Irbit Motor Works) is a Russian company loacted in the town of Irbit in the Ural Mountains on the edge of the Siberian plain. Their Ural motorcycle was born in 1939 when Russian engineers brought several BMW motorcycles through Swedish brokers. They carted them back to Russia, completely dismantled them and made exact copies of all the parts. A good case of reverse engineering.

No, Andy. They're a marque in their own right, and also have a Le Mans history.

Post by: Andy Zarse on September 28, 2009, 05:36:26 pm
Hhmmpph... I'm stumped. ??? I'd have hazzarded a guess at a pack of cheeky little Frazer Nashes, but the marque is so inextricably linked with sodomy it cannot be that. The grilles don't slope sufficiently for Lea Francis, so I can only think of Riley.
The trouble with Riley is the little known "unnatural affection" towards avifauna held by the eponymous company founder Percy Riley. The names of the cars are a giveaway of "the love that dare not squawk it's name". The Riley "Gamecock" is the most obvious hint of the deviance beheld within the company, but you could just as easily have a Riley Kestrel, Falcon or Lincock. It's not an uncommon practice, I had a friend in Sutton Coldfield many years ago, who used to get a hard-on, put a little pile of Trill on the helmet of his winkle and get his mum's budgerigar to walk up and down the shaft digging in his little claws and pecking away. Apparently it was very nice.
The Riley was one of the most successful racing cars of the late 1920s and early 1930s, particularly in hill climbs and at Le Mans, providing a platform for the success of motorsports' first women racing drivers like Kay Petrie and Dorothy Champney. It was later discovered at a Brooklands meeting in 1939 that these two ladies were in fact MEN DRESSED UP AS FLAPPERS! Indeed, Champney was discovered to have been racing with an Amazonian Macaw parrot up his/her skirt. Fortuitously, Hitler invaded Poland the next day and the whole filthy scandal was overshadowed and remained forgotten until I made it up this afternoon.
So H, I say Riley, but for a bonus point, you're wrong about the animal buggery.

Trill!!??
What the f***'s wrong with Mrs Ellswoods Sweet Herring Paste? He sounds like a real deviant alright. One of the most dangerous kind. A friend of mine reckoned he was rebuilding a Riley Takeitupthearselikeaman, and although I never got to see the final results it's all beginning to make sense now.
I'm not really very good at giving clues, I'm more inclined to scratch my head, and then just blurt it out. So a bit of self restraint is required. I don't mean in a sort of 'Bronson' manner, just a little control, that's all.
You're hopping along the right pen1s when you mention Frazer Nash, but I don't think there was any real cross fertilisation. A chap with a clipboard and a pair of brogues told me that they'd had a class win at Le Mans, but I think he thought I was a tw*t. I can't find evidence of a class win, but they do have a good record at LM, and also at the Spa 24h.

Brooklands is famous for it mate. The Pet Shop boys are down there every Friday night, under the bridge. They'll put a leather strap on your bonnett for a very good price.
What the f***'s wrong with Mrs Ellswoods Sweet Herring Paste? He sounds like a real deviant alright. One of the most dangerous kind. A friend of mine reckoned he was rebuilding a Riley Takeitupthearselikeaman, and although I never got to see the final results it's all beginning to make sense now.
I'm not really very good at giving clues, I'm more inclined to scratch my head, and then just blurt it out. So a bit of self restraint is required. I don't mean in a sort of 'Bronson' manner, just a little control, that's all.
You're hopping along the right pen1s when you mention Frazer Nash, but I don't think there was any real cross fertilisation. A chap with a clipboard and a pair of brogues told me that they'd had a class win at Le Mans, but I think he thought I was a tw*t. I can't find evidence of a class win, but they do have a good record at LM, and also at the Spa 24h.
Think A3.

To avoid any more distress to pet birds, maybe i have the answer BiggyH is looking for, could it be a HRG 1½ Litre.
The little chap with the clipboard was right a HRG won the 1-1/2 litre class at Le Mans in 1939.

Correct Nordic, you just saved Peter the Budgie from a fate worse than death.
I was surprised to discover that they were made just a stones throw from my place. It must have been wild round here in the sixties, - AC just round the corner, Frazer-Nash down the road and all sorts going on in Colnbrook. And now Mercedes owns Brooklands!

The odd thing about it is the in-line engine, from using the old Audi gearbox, but they now seem to use A4/6 mechanics, which are transverse, like the Atom/Elise etc.
And the odd thing about the US version is that the steering wheel is on the other side.
It must be the only car to be built in Detroit at the minute

Biodiesel GM Eco - Jet.
Powered by a Honeywell LT-101 turbine engine and based on a corvette chassis a bit of a concept car but its should be able to crack 200mph and do the 1/4 mile jsu over 10sec.
The car was on Jay Leno's show and I think he now owns it and runs it on the road.
Reminds me of the Homett.

Well I thought I would get a bit longer,
Correct, the car is a Eco-Jet, a bio-diesel jet powered engine car.
Even though it has been built with the help of GM, and its top engineers, its still being built in Leno's garage (and it a bloody big one). Looks fun though, they have had some major problems of burning out and eatting, brakes, torque converter and the stuff. They now have it running, the next major problem is to make the exhaust quieter.
Oh the fun, having all those toys.

Yes Neil,
I was about to say "bolloxed if I know mate, I just took the photo", then realised the answer was there in front of me.
1962 eh, - it's a good looking car for 62, - with all those straight lines and angles, I guessed it must be a seventies thang. I love the chrome dash and round rear view mirrors. The build quality looks absolutely appalling, with most of the panels looking like they've been beaten into place by a drunken irishman from a romantic novel set at the turn of the century.
A little further down the road I came across these, - no real mysteries here, but I thought they might just give pyro-boy a little twitch in his trousers....

Does look good, nice to see it out being used, and even like the wheels. As long is not in a scrap yard - who cares.
The others look good as well. Wish I could afford to run something in this country. :-\

Ok manucfacture Rovin,
But not sure on which model - think it might be a D4 Mwb
Quote
Cyclops robert de rovin had built motorcycles before the war with his brother raoul. His original rovin car had a single headlight and a rear-mounted 260cc single engine but never made it to production. The 1947 salon saw a more polished design, with two headlights, roll-up windows and a 425cc flat twin engine. About 380 were built before it was succeeded by the wider-bodied rovin d3 at the end of 1948. falling sales at 370,000 francs, the first rovins were more expensive than the citroen 2cv, but sold well anyway because there was a four-year waiting list for the little citroen. Later rovin models undercut the citroen in price but sold no better. In 1952, the engine was enlarged to 462 cc, but sales continued to fall. Petering out at the end of the fifties, the rovin had come in like a lion but went out like a lamb.
The rovin was as basic as could be, but ironically was built in the old delaunay-belleville luxury car factory.

But not sure on which model - think it might be a D4 Mwb

So it could be worth money as there are only a couple of Tigers running, and I'm not sure if any King Tigers survived. They may be the most feared tanks by the allies, but I'm sure the vast numbers of T34s had much the same effect.
So it seems my trains run on a turbo tiger motor

But even better, found out this little bit of news.
Quote
The Tatra car manufacturer in Kopřivnice is planning to renew production of some of its legendary models. The boss and co-owner of Tatra, American Ronald Adams, would like to produce a limited edition of Tatra 603 and the legendary Tatraplán T600. The replicas will look just like the originals, but the engine and the chassis will be entirely new. The first old-new models should leave the factory in about two years’ time.

Quote
The car, although fully functional, is sadly not street legal. It was built by a specialist movie car manufacturer from scratch using an adapted Land Rover chassis and a Rover V8 engine. It measures a staggering 22 feet long and is 9 feet wide. The car is detailed with a crackle effect white paint job and is adorned with “alternate Victorian” style silver fittings, featuring a repeating elephant theme as imagined by production designer Carol Spier. The upholstery is beige leather and the whole interior is decorated in the same decorative manner as the elaborate exterior.

as far as I can tell beyond the prototype none where ever made.
Was a ZIL - either a 119 or 118K. Some were made, but not many.
Produced 1962–1970. Also known as “Yunost”. Modifications are ZIL-118M that was produced from 1965 and escort bus with more powerful ZIL-111 engine (7-liter 200 hp V8) that allows top speed of 160 km/h. Very few ZIL-118 buses were produced so its extremly rare, they were never really mass-produced.
In 1970 ZIL-118 was modernized and was assigned new name ZIL-118K (before that name it was named ZIL-119 for short amount of thime). Last known production of this car was in 1993 (there were years meanwhile where no copies were produced).
In 1995 enginers tried to once more put life into old bus but that didn’t go anywhere so for now the production of this bus is “complete”. The last version was named ZIL-32071.
During all these years only 93 ZIL-118 modifcations were produced.
Wheels 4x2
Engine (ZIL-130)
Formula V8
Displacement 5,966 liters
Perfomance 150 hp @ 3200 r
Compression ratio 6,5:1
Fuel tank 160 liters
Top speed 120 km/h (160 km/h escort version)
Measures
Lenght 6840 mm
Width 2110 mm
Height 2067 mm
Wheel base 3760 mm
Ground clearance 205 mm

It seems this insane tableau is the brainchild of a man who was denied permission to install a pond in his garden by the local council. So, obviously, he went out and put a guy in the ready position on the roof of a foreign police car. Way to lash out friend!
The website is no longer active however it is an imitation of an LAPD squad car. Maybe the number 54 is a reference to the US tv series "car 54 where are you" or maybe to the Blues Brothers film with the pork pie hat, who knows. This was way back in 2000/2001!
The other car is a well known type of British Sports car, known as an MG often driven by young ladies and gents having been given the car for an 18th birthday by well off parents, or by hairdressers.

Covers most things, we started with a van (years ago) and the cargo is beer. So something for almost everyone.

That is a very rare VW powered truck called a Tempo Matador, built in 1951 by a Hamburg Germany based company by the name of Vidal and Sohn. These trucks were produced for a short period of time from 1949 through 1951 and used the well tested 25 horse VW powerplant and a ZF non-synchro 4 speed transmission. But the placement of the drivetrain was in the front, rather than in the rear live the VW transporter making it a true front wheel drive vehicle. They were built in a truck and a van format and only about 1300 were produced in total with roughly less than 10 known to exist today...making it a very rare machine.
Wow - Peter, how did you get that so quick?
For that look at the rest of the pics, I just love the work gone into and all the little details - what a beauty :)

Why after getting to 996 or more do they go back to 918, and the damn things a hybrid
Presumably because they view it as a successor to the 917 of the 70s which they open the promotional video with.At least they have managed to dig out the non-911 jelly mould.
