Name That Car!

hmm... im guessing a Skoda, or Yugo? maybe something you've owned in the past, Jimmy?

My mum had one. :D




What can I say, Japanese cars were just as ba...... I mean excellent as this thing back in the day.....

Alfa GTA 1300 Junior?

Alfa GTA 1300 Junior?

Took my guess... :grinno:

The ALFA GTA 1300 looks like a Firebird or TRANS AM

or maybe the early giulia sprint gt?

Austin Allegro/Vanden Plas 1500/etc :grinno:

Without looking at anything, I'm going to guess it's a Lamborghini Espada.

Sorry.

That's the sexiest version of the most beautiful car ever made that I've seen yet! Actually it isn't, the REALLY sexy ones had the square steering wheels.




OK I'll stop. And go have a stroll of the Internet to find out what Marks car is.

damn I know this car. If I remember correctly it looks funky too. I just can't name it...

I can just picture it.. I see one pretty often too I think.

Head light looks so familiar.....Oh, I just want to congradulate myself on this thread being my most successful :biggrin:

Save the congratulations for when you actually get one right :grinno:

Lamborghini Jarama? Reliant Ogle Scimitar? I dunno.

Nope and nope!

I must say I'm surprised this one is this tough...

HUGE hint: It's named after the city in which it was first shown...

Alfa Romeo Montreal

http://www2.uol.com.br/bestcars/carros/alfa/montreal-6.jpg

old lotus, Ferrari or Jag. either one of those. Just cant pin it.

hmm... could it be a caterham 21?

I think so. ub tI'll wait for Jay's confirmation.

http://www.mcarsweb.com/caterham/21gto.jpg

drunken monkey is correct. Caterham 21.

You're up mate

hehe.....
trust it to me to get right.

give me a little while to get my image up.
first off, it's any distinctive feature right?

oh.. and before i post, how obscure can i be?
would it fair for me to post something from let's say a one off limited special commision car that only 9 people in the world have ever seen?

haha, no!

And the feature does have to be distinctive to a certain extent.

ok here goes.....

this is going to be either incredibly easy or incredibly hard; it really is a case of either you know it, or you don't.
because of the nature of the car, i think i can only accept SPECIFIC answers......

enjoy
and happy hunting!

Can't make out what exactly it is.

I haven't got the foggiest.

it's the rear arch of the car.
the silver bit is the 'handle'/opening mechanism.
the 'lump' is the distinctive' feature - it's actually a flap kinda thing.

hmm.... i hear the sound of people typing in "distinctive feature, flap, rare car" into google....

i'll give this a day or two before i post another pic of another detail.
if no one seems likely to get it, i'll post a different car......

When you say rear flap an the way it looks an that silver porsche boxter comes to mind. Old boxter that is.

I think we're making these too hard lol

yeah.. but the harder it is, the more satisfaction there is in getting it...

in responce to the one guess.
nope, it's not the 550 (if that is what you're talking about). key thing being, the 550 didn't have any glasswork except that barely-there wind deflector, whereas if you look to the top right of the image, you'd clearly see glass with chromed trim.

I'm going to have to say Ferrari 250MM Berlinetta, but I'm not positive.........

not the 250 MM berlinetta

slightly different door opening latch
and the flap on the 250 doesn't become the wheel arch a it does on this car.
also, if you look at the chrome trim, you'd see that the roof of the car (from the colour of the b pillar) is white.....

but you are very very close.......
it's a case of details now!

Is it a 1995 Nissan Almera??




:p

Actually my research has shown about halfish of the 250MM's had those small door "handles", and at least one had the larger flap ;)

However, that car must be #0346M, 166MM/53 Berlinetta PF, RHD.

This one.

I think one-offs are a bit obscure for this game ;):p

Here's a great whopping chunk of a car for you to name.

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/367mystery3.jpg

and aint it just about the prettiest ferrari ever?

anyway...
strictly it wasn't a one off.... it just happaned to be the only one made, that's all.....
ok... next time, it'll be a car of which more than 10 were made.....

as for yours.
i don't even know where to begin.

Production runs of 1m+ from now on please :icon16:

no clue...

It's British, and the associated car club has the initials "FSCC"

Fairthorpe TX-S, fucking hard.
http://auta5p.car.cz/katalog/fairthorpe/fairthorpe_txs_02.jpg

I gave it away :p

Well folks, if I gave away anymore it'd become all too obvious, study your tailights.

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/305watermark.jpg

308 gt4?

308 gt4?

good guess! might be!

http://www.swisscarsightings.com/ferrari/Ferrari%20308%20GT4%20015.jpg

unless the distinctive feature is that dent... (ouch)

hey, y'know what?
i never knew they did a 2.0 litre version of that car (the pic you give is a 208 GT4).
i'm guessing it's in the same vein of the later 208 gtb/gts cars (italy/europe only).

Damn, thought it'd be harder. The correct answer was posted by Menu, it's a 208 GT4.

208/308..... mere details.....
but i'm not bitter.
off you go.
menu, post a good one!

208/308..... mere details.....


Mere liters more like it! Well, one actually.

Also keep in mind folks with that last one, try to keep things mainstream, it might make them easier, but I'd rather have that than hours of search for a one off.

er.... i think you'll find that the 308 gt4 was the mainstream model.

anyway, i think that it's obscurity more than number of cars made.
i mean, i think everyone here will recognise an XK-SS or a 250 GTO or a DB4 GT Z even though none of them are mainstream models.

ok Enough arguing. drunken monkey called it first so I think he should go next. One of the key rules here is to keep it general and mainstream, and non-specific. engines really don't mattter, here, just distinctive exterior or interior features.

In this case, you should've said 208/308 GT4.

But if another case like this was to come around, like if someone posts a pic of an E38 BMW 7-Series headlight, then just say BMW E38 7-Series. It doesn't matter if they said 740i when it was actually a 750iL, the key point was that they touched on what car the picture is of in general.

That's no fun.

we weren't really arguing....

anyway, here's a quickie.
http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/500/158486shocking_interior.JPG

I Don't know interiors that well...

hmmm.... are interiors fair game? should we pull some calvinball rules here? :P

We'll say interiors are allowed.

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/30575Matra2.jpg

Matra-Simca Bagheera, the 3 seats were a giveaway.

BTW, drunkenmonkey, by mainstream, I meant cars that saw actual production numbers, not a one off Ferrari from the 50's, it's just too hard.

Next up, I had to hide most of this again, I have a feeling somebody will know it right away, but oh well.

hmm

let´s try this one :D

Aston Martin Vanquish Roadster by Zagato :)

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/data/503/367mystery4.jpg

well..... i think in the case of the matra, the 3 seats is the distinctive feature.

hang on..... i didn't the zagato vaquish roadster had hit production yet.....
hehe....

Menu yours is the MB Roadcars EOS.
