Fintail nails the Panhard, it's a PL17 ca. 1960, a four banger sized between a Dauphine and a DS19.

Lotus Bread Van....er...Europa I mean, with Renault power of all things. Drivers with big shoes need not apply.

Lotus Europa...

andys120

Keerect guys, I actually saw a Europa in traffic this Spring, they're incredibly low, it must be like driving a luge.

Juice, you're right it's a Pajero io, probably sold everywhere outside of N. America. It would be a nice vehicle to bring to N. America though.

And yes, 2281 is a Chrysler Conquest.

2306 looks something from the 50s or so, I guess. I'm guessing Ford or Dodge?

andys120

2306 looks something from the 50s or so,

What gave it away, the visor, the fender skirts or the chrome stripes? :P

Sorry, it's not a Ford or Dodge.

lemko

...an early '50s Oldsmobile - probably an 88.

andys120

It's a '51 Olds '88. I can't remember what year my Gramps had but it looked like that one.

Bentley Azure?

navigator89

is a Bentley Azure. Speaking of Bentley droptops, I can't wait for the Continental convertible to come out.

What's this?

ateixeira

Primera I think?

navigator89

Nice job juice! You nailed another one of mine.

Mr_Shiftright

I cannot physically drive a Europa, even with shoes off and belt loosened and head cranked sideways. Over 5' 8"...ferget it.

andys120

Hell over 5'8" you'd be hard put to get into one, let alone drive it.

Mr_Shiftright

I always try to keep a Jaws of Life handy. :P

Studebaker Avanti

andys120

Studebaker Avanti

Indeed, but more precisely an early ('62?) Studebaker Avanti. IIRC the later Studebakers and all the non-Stude Avantis came with rectangular surrounds to the headlights, the circular surrounds were definitely limited to Studebaker made cars, later cars did come w 7" dia round h/ls but these were set in rectangular surrounds.

Confusing enough? :sick:

stickguy

an MGB from the rear, and that seems to be an MG badge, so I guess it is one of the later MGs that we never got.

fintail

MGR, a V8 car from around 1990 IIRC

imidazol97

While I don't know the car, I like the way you can get your name on the license plate in that country--JOE...

andys120

Late 1980's Lancia, don't know the model name. the car behind is a Ford Mondeo of similar vintage.

navigator89

Nope it's not a Lancia, at least not that I know of. But yes, the car is late 80s-early 90s.

ateixeira

Isn't that a Rover grille?

-juice

michaellno

Yep, I believe that the white car is a Rover 800 series ... we knew it in the states as the Sterling. Co-developed with Honda.

andys120

Good eye, Juice.

I'll bet it's the Rover Sterling ca. 1988.

fintail

Late Rover 827, with a N registration I think from around 1994

navigator89

">is a late 80s Rover 800. Still looks good to me.

Now try this

Current model TVR Tuscan. Ugliness has been part of the TVR Mystique since the 60s
but the current Tuiscan sets new standards. :P

Ferrari 288 GTO, c. 1984. I had a model of one as a kid...I thought it was very beautiful.

navigator89

are posts #2339, 2340, 2341?

Anyway, to keep this thread moving here's one.

andys120

It reminds me of the Daewoo the Aveo is based on.

ateixeira

I'm stumped.

I'll throw out a SWAG - Renault. They had tall/heavy looking rears like that on some earlier cars.

-juice

Mr_Shiftright

Here's a hard one. I'll give you two shots of it: one's just an open version of the other.

HINTS: late 70s, early 80s, Swiss, Mercedes 6.9 V8 on a 450SEL frame.

navigator89

First, does anyone know why posts 2339-2341 are missing?

Anyway 2342 isn't a Renault but the manufacturer is obviously European.

Mr_Shiftright, you've stumped me with those two. The first car's body shape looks vaguely familiar.

andys120

They look a little like Monteverdis but those had MoPar-power. :confuse:

andys120

Mr_Shiftright

Another hint. A Swiss manufacturer who in addition to this car, made many other types, including a reproduction of a prewar BMW 328.

fintail

Sbarro!

2348 looks like some kind of Peugeot

Mr_Shiftright

Good man! Sbarro "Stash" is the full name.

andys120

Sbarro made some astonishingly weird stuff, those look relatively tame.

Yeah the little box is a Pug. I'll leave it up for a while and see if anyone knows which or at least when.

boomchek

I'd say late 70's 104 model

navigator89

Any guesses for the small car in #2342? If you can't tell, it's from a European manufacturer.

andys120

I'd say late 70's 104 model

Close it's a '75 Puegeot 104 ZS2, what a little charmer.

Navi, how 'bout a better picture of that little skate (#2342)?
