This one?

That's a Lamborghini Urraco, with its ergonomically magnificent dash, speedo and rev counter on opposite sides. Great for Chameleons! Nice car though...

:lol:

You're too good at this....

A sort of pseud?s Range Rover built by Matra.

Fibreglass body on the Simca 1100 running gear hence only front wheel drive! :rolleyes:

Actually, the official name is Daimler SP 250 they couldn't use "Dart" because Dodge already held the rights ;)

What about this car? And what well-known grandchildren was it the grandfather of?

1952Tojeiro-Bristol


Later developed into 1953 AC Ace and we all know what came from that when Carroll Shelby put a V8 in it, don't we?

Anyone fancy their chances of guessing this beauty? Clue: you are not very likely to see one, but the manufacturer went on to develop something you see all too often nowadays!

You started the thread! :lol: Ligier is right – you are good, but the model is not JS1 – with that info, do you want to try and get it?

It's not something designed by Maurice Gatsonides is it?

Gatso Roadster 1948

I can see that no mercy must be shown! :D

I'm stumped by that little fastback with fins must be French, Dutch, Belgian or something like that... not found a Simca, or Panhard or a Daf or anything else like that. Don't think its eastern European or even German – but :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

Anyone else?

Now I would take my hat off (if I wore one) to whoever gets this one correct (manufacturer, model name and +/- year).
