    G'day

    It is a bit hard to see, but is that the new Jaguar XJ?

    Cheers

    Looks like a Peugeot 107 with British or Dutch plates

    The new AWD 2013 model, I presume?

    AWD + panoramic moonroof = awesome.

    That combination has been available on the E-class since MY 2003, S-class since MY 2007, C-class since 2008 ;)

    I was one of the 2 people in America that liked the C "coupe", but I wanted 4 doors.

    the Kompresser hatch?

    Well, good news, I think you found both of us!

    M-B hosted an event and there were no lines for the hatch. I was chatting up with the instructors and it was actually the quickest car around the cones. At one point I drove it around for several laps without waiting in line. :shades:

    It was like free auto cross school.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,557
    I never embraced it. Styling wasn't great, that kompressor 4 was coarse - especially when cold. But I do like that it could be optioned pretty sparsely.

    I'm going to hazard a guess of '55 DeSoto. If I'm right it's a very rare one, however, since it is a stick.

    The later, smaller supercharged engine was actually a bit smoother.

    Tires belong on a car 10 years older.
  • lemkolemko Member Posts: 15,261
    Definitely the wrong tires. I picture this car with narrow white stripe tires or the elusive double skinny stripe tires that were popular when this car was newer.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,557

    Exactly. It would look so much better with them too - actually not an ugly car.

    In the mid 90s my dad bought a 68 Fairlane out of an estate. It was a white on white car with 2" whitewalls - looked odd, but all the white made the tires less offensive.

    '68 Rambler Rebel.

    After the '63 Classic, that's the next Rambler 'sedan' I think is a handsome car.

    Correct. My Uncle Daniel had a nice blue 1968 Rebel SST hardtop with a black vinyl top. Notice the one in the picture must be an export-spec model as it has RHD steering.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,557
    Looks like an old New Zealand license plate, background looks like there or Australia - the latter of which had/has a like for old American cars.
  • grahampetersgrahampeters Member Posts: 1,786
    G'day

    Definitely a New Zealand scene.I cannot recall if they were sold as Rebel in Australia.

    Cheers

  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,234
    Yes - that didn't take long. Could also be a Star Sapphire, as they are pretty similar, but a few years younger.
  • uplanderguyuplanderguy Member Posts: 16,967
    I'm nearly certain that is the instrument panel of a Plymouth.

    '55 belvedere.

    Now, anyone with a guess on the Gray car I posted just before the interior shot?

    Silver Golf doesn't even appear to be a GTI? Is it even vintage enough to be in that group?

    Bigger photo shows another one, also with steelies. Black GTI behind the silver one.

    But I will take the keys to the red Jag XK-E 3 rows back.
  • boomchekboomchek Member Posts: 5,516

    Golfs date back to 1975, so that might be OK now - I don't know the rules for the event. I see a few other cars of similar youth.

    I'll just pick off the two W112 300SE fintails, and the MB W123 (starting 1976) towards the bottom.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Sunbeam Alpine?

    Close! It's a 1965 Sunbeam Tiger.

    What's they gray car next to the red Jag?
    Also, a VW bug just a bit closer than the black/white Fintail.

    Ok, I'll put one chip on a 50 Plymouth.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,557
    I think the gray car is maybe a Ferrari 330.

    I will agree with most of that,and try to ID the "?" cars.

    Column 1:
    Top left - 911
    Black and red below Renault 5 - Lancia Fulvia
    I think the red "Talbot" is a Peugeot 104

    Column 2:
    Car below 911 - Ford/Lotus Cortina
    Low red car looks like Austin Healey
    I think the orange hatch is maybe a Lancia (which during high malaise was basically a Fiat)
    Car below red 911: Lancia Fulvia
    Volvo has a one piece windshield, would be a 544
  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,606
    you know have 2 chips. It is a '50 Plymouth P-20

    Maxwell Smart, a.k.a. Agent 86, drove a red one in the first two seasons of "Get Smart." I understand that red Tiger was Don Adams' personal car.

    After M-B, the Stude dealer in my little hometown actually sold Sunbeam and Simca!
