name that car

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/taranaki/naki/Img0003.jpg

first to name it gets to post the next one.

Duesenburg?

Looks like an ancient FIAT or Lanica. Time to google.....

citroen?

Clue.......British.

wolsley?

Salmson?

Dilapidated?

Dilapidated?

brakes,ssuspension bushes and exhaust system are all good. :evillol:

A 1986 Pontiac 6000? :D

A Triumph of some sort? OR maybe a Hillman? Gosh, that rear end is so familiar :(

I'm thinking MG

1930`s Riley Kestral???

1930`s Riley Kestral???

very close
:smokin:

Riley 12/4 Kestrel?

Railton

Its not a triumph or an MG. Its too big for that.

Austin Healey?

very close
:smokin:

1931`s Riley Kestral?

My second and last guess, 1935 Riley RMB

Austin 7 isn't it?

1935 Riley Kestral 12/4 but maybe its a 1934 RILEY KESTREL 14/6

I don't think its a Riley...the windows are shaped different as well as the back. This is a hard one...

Its not a 1935 MG NB Magnette Airline Coupe is it?

well, it is certainly a rare car,only two known to survive

...only two known to survive
Yes, I guess that would be rare.

Its definitely a Civic.

Nah...Civics are front wheel drive. I think that is a drift machine. ....but then...I don't see any zip ties.

what do zip ties and drift machines have to do with each other? When a friend was installing a k&n cone air filter in my 240, instead of using screws to keep it connected to the MAF adapter he ziptied it shut. Told me it's not a real 240 unless it's ziptied. Anyone know why? Is it b/c it's quick and easy to fix a damage from drifting?

what is it? A Singer? (I know I'm way off, but I'm just trying to think of small bug eyed british cars).

It looks photoshopped to me.

:shakehead

it was only a matter of time before someone said that.

i think we should have a new rule in OT. if you think something is photoshopped, and care to post so, you must provide proof as to WHY you think it's photoshopped. just because you don't know what car it is and care to protect your stumped-ness is not reason enough to post "it's a PS".

who the fuck would photo shop a picture of an old car purely to stump a bunch of people on the internet? yeesh...i don't see how that picture is photoshopped in any way shape or form.

: just because you don't know what car it is and care to protect your stumped-ness is not reason enough to post "it's a PS".
I'm not stumped, frankly I could care less what kinda of car it is. Look at the roof like, to me it looks crooked as if someone photoshoped it. If it's not photoshoped oh well, doesn't bother me to admit I was wrong.

"Dad, there's a guy here reckons your latest has been photoshopped."

"What?"

*Explains 'photoshopped' to Dad...*

Tell him he's a damn fool,son.

:rofl:


Actually,the sliding sunroof was quite advanced for its day,and as you can see,there's a good deal of other panel work that needs attention too.Good job the old man is a panelbeater/painter from the old school.He'll probably fabricate a whole new sunroof from scratch,and use traditonal repair techniques that date back decades.

Jesus look like around here nobody can give an oppinion without gettin slammed on.

well, considering the number of times I've spoken out on exactly this subject in this forum, you shouldn't be surprised.Not everyone belongs to the graphically altered generation,and as Suislide points out,there wouldn't be much point in making such a challenge unwinnable.I am getting bored beyond a joke by those people who think they are impressing people by yelling 'fake' every time they cant come up with the correct and logical answer.

I wasn't trying to "impress" anyone, I just made a simple comment and got slammed on about it because I was wrong. I admit I was wrong.

what do zip ties and drift machines have to do with each other?
All REAL drift machines have zip ties. They will break before what they are tying breaks. Saves a hell of a lot on repairs.

I was jokingly referring to the car in that it has no zip ties so it must not be a drift machine..... Zheesh.

I admit I was wrong.



Well done.

Now let it rest and move on.

A Standard?

It's a 1935 Hillman Aero Minx Sports Saloon.

:repost:



sorry couldn't resist!


Is that car here in NZ?

Nope......Dad finally picked it up last month.He's been haunting the owner for quite a while. Mechanically,it's very sound,the body panels are mainly aluminium, but the wooden framing for the body is virtualy gone.He's planning on having it back to original body condition by August,and reconditioning the mechanicals after that.
He's thrilled with it,the only other complete and running example is a fully restored museum exhibit at the Coventry Motor Museum.

dare I even ask how much it went for, since its the 2nd only known version of its kind???

Well done. I love vintage cars. I am from Auburn, Indiana. That town's claim to fame is it is the "home of the classics". Auburns, Cords and Duesenburgs were made there. Indianapolis Motor Speedway was their test track in the beginning years.

thank god for that, its been driving me nuts all night, I must a looked through hungreds of vintage car sites trying to find out what the hell it was ---I fail to see how a 1930`s Riley Kestral was "very Close" though. Nice car though.

Would have changed hands for an honest price,dad has known the guy for a long time.Actually,I think that car brought me to AF...

It's by no means a classic, and obviouly the condition is less than concours, but once it's restored, it will be an asset.Not that Dad will ever sell it.He still has the 1938 Minx that I sent back to him about 15 years ago!

Those are nice pics,gladhatter.I had a Daimler Conquest for a wee while, and almost bought a Hillman Cailfornian last year....Too bad the practical transport took priority.

I take it your talking about the early Californian. I have the Imp based Californian I have just about finished restoring.

Are you serious? You going back any time soon? Don't you live in Japan right now? I live about 20 min south of Auburn. The museum is awesome. I think it's actually better than the Henry Ford meseum.

A Hillman and a 1935 Riley are not even close to being the same car - Rootes wouldn't own Riley for many more years...
When Taranaki stated that riley was close, he really confused me, sure the fenders look "Riley-ish) but the louvres, cowl, and the top of the hood are totally uncharacteristic of any 1930's Riley.
Since nobody correctly guessed, who goes next?

Speaking of Auburn, one my mother's friend's father's Cord is in the Auburn museum, his father bought it new in Indiana and his family sold it to the museum after he died.

Well, that car has been misidentified as a Riley so many times it's not funny.... :icon16:

If you want to bring on the next one 2sb, I'll be in there with bells on.

O.K. this one will be pretty easy (I think) because you can see the front of the car pretty easily, and because this car was made for many decades...

I once had a 67 Spitfire. I currently own a really nice 1955 Chevy. It is in storage in the states. I do love classics.

It looks similar to a Hillman Minx.

Nope. Not British (or Japanese).

Trabant?
