    my guess for the first pic would be an Essex, the second a Fiat 1100 Coupe and the third is the number 150 participant in the Tour Auto 2002. That should allow you to get a clue

    the third is probably italian.As you can see the big front grille, this was first featured on a Cisitalia.manybrnds have copied and adapted this grille.it was quite "trendy"back then.Even Ferrari followed the trend and had some cars with grilles like this.i can look up which ferrari, but i'm too lazy to alk to my bookshelf

    It would not surprise me if the third car is a Fiat 8V.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    When I first saw that third car, the thought that went through my head was "Pegaso." That's probably wrong, but I have an amazing way of zenning stuff like that.

    You are right Matra. Do you have any idea what model/year that is? I can't seem to find anything.

    I am sure you initially recognised it from the badge

    Your picture wasn't good enough for that

    The narrow split screen was the pointer to only a few cars for me.
    I went with dalahaye cos the lines looked "French" to me - sad eh

    Could't have remembered the model though without the googling I'm bad at car NUMBERS, much preferring/remembering names

    yep, and then we would have forgotten to collect the starting list
