    How about a mid-80s E30, 325is
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Exactly, the big air dam is the giveaway for the is model. In BMW-speak, it's an E30, about the same size as the new One Series but the badge sez "325is" and it is an '87.

    We did that one a while back, IIRC it's a mid-70s Brazilian Ford...Corsair?

    It isn't Brazilian....

    Australian Ford Falcon?

    It's not Australian, either...(it is a Ford, though...)
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    .(it is a Ford, though...)

    As if you couldn't tell from the "F-O-R-D' on the hood. Geez, I'm stumped, it can't be South African, since it's LHD.

    The one on the right is a 1959 Oldsmobile (I think I see the beginning of 'Ninety-Eight" on the side).
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,234
    Thats right Andy - its a German Ford Taunus 12M Coupe, (I think the model is the P6) which was sold circa 1966/70, and this one was registered - and indeed photographed - in Norway. Here's the back...image

    We missed a ferry, and consequently dinner at the hotel on the other side of the fjord, to get that photo...
  • wgraferwgrafer Member Posts: 592
    The one on the left is a 1954 Oldsmobile - I think I see "88" on the side.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Yep '59 Olds is correct.

    Wild guess - Felber Oasis ? (it's the Swiss plates)
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    I'm having a good day when I can put one over on Magnette. :D

    This Swiss plates are a clue.

    Ok - the only other one I can think of is the Monteverdi Safari
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    You can take a hint, it is indeed a 1981 Monteverdi Safari. ;)

    It's Ferrari red, so I'll guess...

    Early 80s Ferrari 328.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Nope, sorry.

    Nope it's not a Lancia.

    The gray car is a late 40s Allard P1, dunno what the trike is except it's an Allard.

    I know, I know! It's a Ferrari V12! :P
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Sorry Bumpy, it's not a V12. Surely someone can figure this one out!

    Wild guess....Enzo?

    Berlinetta Boxer, or an early one. can't recall the designation for the original model

    at the NY auto show, when it was introduced, I "begged" to have my picture taken standing beside the show model, so they let me behind the ropes, and my brother snapped a picture.....
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Berlinetta Boxer

    Yep not an early Boxer (365GTBB/4) but a later 512 BBi. The Boxer engines were FLAT 12s, not V12s. Took you guys a while to get that one. :P

    Could be any year from '88-'91. :shades:

    '64 Bonneville?

    That Reatta, the Regal, the Riviera... how many FWD coupes did GM think Buick could move in the late '80s?
  • lemkolemko Member Posts: 15,261
    I think it's a 1968 Pontiac Catalina per the hubcaps and the chrome "beak." I think the 1969 model had an Endura nose.
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,234
    Sorry for the delay Andy, but what with the time difference and the fact that today at work was too hectic to even look at the site, I haven't had a chance to come back to you.

    Yes, they are Allards. The grey one is a P1, 1949/51, I believe. Ford 3.6 or 3.9 V8, and it was actually Allard's best selling model - about 550.

    The little red one is an Allard Clipper, they only made these for about ten months in 1954/5, and I gather only about 22 were made - this one is reckoned to be the only survivor in a complete state in the UK, so there aren't likely to be many more out there. Air-cooled Villiers two-stroke engine,346cc, 2-cyl. It was one of the first cars in Britain to have a fibre-glass body (what there is of it), but even by micro-car standards this was a very crude beast, and I doubt all 22 found buyers...
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,234
    Well, I'd go along with the 1968 Pontiac - is this an Executive Hardtop? The trim looks different from the Bonneville somehow, and I think the latter had skirts over the rear wheel arches.
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,234

  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Dang, you ARE good. Most of us had long ago forgotten the Pontiac Executive, if we ever knew it in the first place. Yep it's a 1968 Pontiac Executive, a short-lived model intended to slot between the Catalina and the Bonneville (replacing the 2+2?).

    2001 BMW 330ci/E46, 2008 BMW 335i conv/E93

  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,234
    I thought it was a Bonneville, but didn't know because of the missing skirts. So I looked in a book - I had heard of the Executive, but I don't think I've ever seen one.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    That's a Fiat Croma, late 80's or early 90s. I used to own it's platform-cousin the SAAB 9000, (other cousins were the Lancia Thema and Alfa 164. It has the same greenhouse and windshield.

    Well, done Andy - it's a Fiat Croma, 1987/8. Here's the rear.image
    This one has clearly been imported from a different market, as it is LHD, but the car was available in UK when new.
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,234
    This looks like a pre-war DKW F8, but as it is presumably post-war, I think this is an East German IFA F8.
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,234

  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,557
    Yep it's an IFA based on the DKW, made up until the mid 50s in its prewar shape IIRC
