[juanelo242]

The red one is a Very Ugly GT, the second is a Caubet 1600 (seroiusly), and the third one, i dont know.

First one looks a little bit like the Colani VW kit. I'll have to look it up in the book if I get some time, I'll get back to you. Don't know the other two...

You do have this bizarre routine going on. Every now and then, you post a completely random selection of pictures here.

1. Why do you do it?: i wanna know all model names i could.
2.Where do you pick them up?: it seems that you don't waste your time looking for car photos on the internet like i do (its my time), well that's your problem. I always find nameless photos, i do a little search and most of the time i find them, when not, i come here.

3. Is there any particular reason why do you want to know the names of all these random cars?: i wanna know all model names i could.

4. Do you even remember the ones that were identified for you a week ago?: of course i do.

5. Right now it looks to me that you are competing in some kind of automotive trivia contest and you are using people here to cheat: not my case.

6. Maybe I'm wrong. If your ultimate goal is to increase your automotive knowledge, then may I suggest more systematical approach, like start readng through UCP articles in the main page: you're right. But UCP doesn't have all the cars. My ultimate goal is to have one photo of all models ever constructed, which is almost impossible.

Are you not interested in knowing all the model names of the cars you have?

[henk4]

the third one is the Lenham-Hurst GT

[ribatejo69]

thanks a lot for everyone! :)

[ribatejo69]

more 3 pic's... the second have something look like TR 7's, and the last have a smell of Mercedes-Benz SL "Pagode"... but I never see is before, except the first but I don't remember is name...:confused:

Middle is one of the 1981 race prepped TR8s ( TR7 with the Rover V8 dropped in :) )

First of all, my post was specifically aimed at nismo300zx.
He is the one who's sincerity is in question, not yours.
He is the one who is posting files named a la trivia2aa1.jpg, not you.

I am not having any problem with people posting unknown cars here.
If my post gave you that kind of impression, my apologies then.

My ultimate goal is to have one photo of all models ever constructed, which is almost impossible.
Good luck then, it IS impossible.:p :)

[Sauc3]

Previous page, the first picture in your post is definitely the Colani VW GT kit-car. Someone's put horrid hubcaps on it though, doesn't make for an attractive look.
(You can see Colani's styling in how low the seats are and the overall organic shape of the car.)

I'd say Passat. Compare it with the first picture in post #4 here: http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19079

Some of the trim is missing, and the headlights are different, but they're otherwise identical.

[henk4]

first generation Passat indeed, but simplified grille.

1. Wasn't Trans Am a more powerful version of Firebird?

2. It's not an appropriate place for this question. I suggest creating a thread in Car Comparison forum.

From British TV series "UFO".
Car driven by "Paul Foster". It is currently owned by Tony Read in eastern England. Unfortunately, it is missing the original engine, interior and several portions of the exterior. Here are photos of the car taken in November 1998 (courtesy Dave Griffiths):

hmmmm, just realised the bonnet is different. This may not be the actual vehicle above. There were a few of similar design, see opening credits http://ufoseries.com/movieClips/opening.mov but this was the only one IIRC that had the side indentation. So I tihnk the bonnet may have been a later modification to make it road legal.

Highlight of the series were the aluminium foil mini skirts :) http://ufoseries.com/movieClips/ellis.mov

A friend of mine as a car on his garage and he doesn´t know the brand or model of the car he's got there. You are great at guessing cars, so I´m hoping you could help me, please.

it looks like a strange version of an early Alpine (A106/A108) could it have been based on a Brazilian or mexican chassis? (It does have an Alpine oil filler cap) Where is the car located?

The car is located in Portugal. My first guess was an Alpine too (oil filler cap). But I was googling and didn´t find anything that looks close to this.
Maybe the former owner as put that oil filler cap there. I think it's not an Alpine, that's why I'm here trying to know more about this car.

but the engine looks renault too. what about the suspension parts?

[starsgoblue]

I haven´t got pictures here, but I'll try to get them.

I already googled for images of several french automakers and didn´t find anything that looks like this. The front and the rear of the car are quite uncommon, though the headlight disposition looks like a Renault 12 or 16.

The motor and the wheel rims are Alpine.

[starsgoblue]

Can anyone help me on this, please?

[Matra et Alpine]

It's difficult with what's there :(
The rear lines are certainly not Alpine or Redele design.
The front has a look of late Panhard or maybe Citroen.
It's possible it's one of many "special" created in the day utilising the R8 layou - so may be a low volume long dead kit :(

ANY chassis plate or VIN numbers ? What is the dash like ?

As much as I admire and respect you and your knowledge, I'm gonna have to go ahead and say you're wrong. The car in question is definitely a 1954 Chevrolet. Compare with this ad: the toothy chrome grille, the shape of the badge at the front of the hood, the side trim, and even the jet-like hood ornament are all consistent (there are some differences, but the yellow car is a 210 (with some bits missing) and the one in the ad is an uplevel Bel Air). Additionally, the second picture I've attached is a 1955 Chevrolet hood ornament.

ok, i dont have a pic of this car... but its one i saw on tv a few years ago, and apparently my mother saw one the other night.

it is a motorcycle, of sorts. it is covered and seats 2 in tandem. it has 2 wheels on arms on each side that lower when it comes to a stop. then when it starts off again, they raise up.

anybody got any ideas, pics, anything?

I'm not quite sure if this is even remotely what you are referring to but, its worth a shot.

The Peraves MonoTracer or the Teca Concept?

Generally the most reliable way to identify old tin presented like this is through front mudguards, and even more so of course from the 'horsecollar' and grille, the styling traits of which were jealously protected brand-specific hallmarks

Bodywork other than from ahead of the front cowling is not a reliable indicator, due to the plethora of non-factory coachbuilders. Body 'jewelry' like headlights, mirrors and bumpers etc can give a clue to specific model years, or not be original - or indeed factory original, especially for examples now approaching eighty years old

Hudsons of that era did feature a rather distinctive (and as mentioned brand-specific) theme for their triagulated horsecollar and Grecian grillework, and it was these items I focussed upon in my initial guess

Another brief foray on the web has re-convinced me that your mystery car is highly likely to be a Hudson. Check out those brand-specific similarities I've mentioned between your example and this 1929 Hudson Super Six Victoria. Yes the grille-upper does not conclude with a horizontal face (a detail which most probably relates to exact model and/or year) but from my view the general family kinship is undeniable

[ribatejo69]

I thniks also is a Vision but not the K2: the SZR. look this photos:

[juanelo242]

The white one is a K2, the orange one ins the SZR, pretty sure.

[netburner]

Is it a production car? If yes how many exist?

[90ft]

Nice.
I had no idea they had gone as far as production. Great to see.

Right
Here's one

[henk4]

Here's one

no there are two different cars:)

something which looks like a Cooper Monaco derivative, and the second maybe a Lola Mk1. but it is very generic shape.

I think I just found ANDREW G ride for sale. Anybody knows what it is?
Only a guess, but I'll have a go. The distinctively straight rear-door shutline (lower trailing edge) hints at 1st gen Ford Taurus, as does the bodyside swage line

Good point - I didn't even noticwe until you pointed that out.

Right I'll split them into hte 2 cars.
First.

I thought it was a Lotus 11 or a Lotus 15
But the 15 has a bonnet scoop. andh te rear wheel arch is wrong
The Lotus 11 looks most similar.
What does anyone think?

[90ft]

And the other. . ..
I looked at a Cooper Monaco . . . yes could be.
I thought of an Elva Mark 6 but the front air intakes aren't right.

I've no idea.

[henk4]

I've no idea.there are no Elva's with V8's (look at the twin exhausts..)

[Ferrer]

there are no Elva's with V8's (look at the twin exhausts..)
But this isn't necessarily an indicative of a V8, is it?

Porsche flat six can also have a dual exhaust arrangement.

I hope you did study thoroughly the 50-60ties sportscars....in particualr Elvas. (and don't come up with the Fiore V8, because that is a coupe)

Fine, and you obviously also did not know that there are Elva-Porsches, which do have their exhaust fitted in a different way...

but the exhaust layout of the "mystery" car really points at a V8 engine, as used in the Cooper Monaco and some other cars...

1959 Lola Mk1

[WestBo]

Look at this one! Does someone know what concept car it is. it's a volvo

[Ferrer]

Volvo VCC (Versatilty Concept Car) concept car from 2003.

Interestingly in 1980 Volvo unveiled a concept car also named VCC, only this time it meant Volvo Concept Car. The following 740 and 760 were based on it.

Another one from Autoblog. I think it was taken at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

It looks a lot like a Graf Goertz design, but I’m not 100% sure.

Hey, here's the one. I have some ideas of what it could be - maybe Fisher Fury (British-made kit-car), but I'm not quite sure. The one at pics was seen right in Moscow streets, but not by me.

Looks like a Fisher Fury with the Classic bonnet to me.

edit: I reckon that hood scoop is a custom job.

[Suka]

Yeah, thats a fury. I'd like to see what is under the bonnet if the owner feels it needs a scoop that big.

[faksta]

Yeah, thats a fury. I'd like to see what is under the bonnet if the owner feels it needs a scoop that big.

There was no hope to open the bonnet :(

[Pando]

I doubt the scoop is there just for show.

Oh, think it's Nikolai II - the last russian tsar. I'll see what car is this - something from special garage.

Gonna be Delaunay-Belleville 45 CV from Nikolai II's garage. Here's one more (small tho). Note the swastika on the bonnet. Why is it here? I don't know. Though I know that it was a symbol of luck earlier.

Picture #4 is 1941 Lincoln Continental with custom bodywork built in 1946 by Derham.

Here are some proper pics.

Edit: pic#1 is 1955 Jaguar XK140, pic#2 is 1957 BMW 507 with custom bodywork

[juanelo242]

The first one i think is a Jaguar

[Jack_Bauer]

The last pic is of a Ferrari 250 GT SWB "Breadvan".

[henk4]

the third one is either a Packard Boattail Convertible, or a Cadillac V12/V16

the second car looks to have been photographed at Retromobile, so that might give a clue

[henk4]

The last pic is of a Ferrari 250 GT SWB "Breadvan".

"the" not "a", there is only one...unless somebody decided to construct a replica of that one too...

[faksta]

The third is rather a Cadillac than a Packard - I have some pics of this model, but not in boattail body.
And the first one.. Could it be an Aston Martin, not a Jag? One of DP projects or something.

[henk4]

It is definitely not one of the DP cars. The glass house of this car is typically E-Type and they just made some changes to the bonnet and possibly the rear side of the car.

[go.pawel]

The third one is 100% Cadillac V16. I have this photo in a book.

[faksta]

i.e. you mean that it's not a factory car?

Thank you! The swastika has been a popular symbol throughout history and has bared many meanings in different cultures and ages. In this case my guess would be it is a symbol of luck.

DB 2/4s most probably, though it's really hard to say just by the front end.

[henk4]

DB 2/4s most probably, though it's really hard to say just by the front end.

the front bumper of the left car would indicate that it is a DB2, while the one of the right is a DB2/4. (At least that would my conclusion comparing pics of several different cars)

[go.pawel]

The red one looks to be a DB2/4 judging by the bumper overriders and the grill's shape. And you're probably right about the left car being DB2, as its headlights are mounted very low.l

[fisetdavid26]

Thanks for your help guys, it's one ambiguous picture! I agree about the left car being a DB2, but the red car... I really don't know. A DB4, as you suggested, seems plausible though.

no it is not a DB4, that's a different model, they are both DB2s, but the DB2/4 has a longer wheelbase and two more "seats". Outwardly easily recognisable from the fact that the front window is in one piece. The DB2 has a two separated front windows..(which you cannot see on your pic:) )

And, most of all, the DB2/4 has a hatchback :) (which of course cannot be seen either)

No it isn't. It's a Fiat 126.

No it isn't. It's a Fiat 126.

A Polski Fiat 126p actually. Hungary, being in the communist block, imported the Polish-built 126, not the Italian one.

For many years it was the most popular car in Poland. Around 3.5 million of them were built (1973-2000).

Most probably a Silver Wraith or Silver Dawn. But I have no idea who did the body. I'd bet on some German/Austrian/Swiss company, since the back looks very Mercedes-esque.

Bentley S2 Wendler Shooting Brake (http://www.rrab.com/s2wend.htm)

Yup, but in case of the Wendler Shooting Brake the client demanded that the car must look like Merc 300SE. So it's not the coachbuilder's fault.

probably the owner could have more cheaply bought a real 300SE and had it reworked by Universal in Belgium:)

but the mystery car is really special. I have been reading through a history on Horch lately and the car reminds me in a way of some of the Horch factory bodies for the 853 (A) and 951, but this rear window is very strange.
