    I think the earlier 365 BB4 can be differentiated from the later 512 as here, because the latter had the 'NART' style airscoops in the cills, just ahead of the rear wheel arches, to aid brake cooling.

    The Glas Goggomobil Coupe was sold as either TS300 or 400 depending on the engine size, (cc's), but over here it was briefly marketed as the Mayfair, although I think the name was dropped and most of them were just sold as Coupes. There was even a cabriolet, but I don't think they sold that in UK.

    Mid 80s Audi Sport Quattro. I believe the "sport" meant it was the short wheel base as opposed to the regular wheelbase quattro coupes.

    And I don't think that they ever imported the short wheelbase coupe into north america.

    Yep. it's an '85 Sport Quattro, and IIRC there were none officially imported to the US.

    The Sport Quattro was manufactured so it could be homolgated for Group 5 WRC where the shorter wheelbase gave an advantage over the longer wheelbase ur-Quattro Turbo coupe.

    Mitsubishi i-car. This was shown at the London Motor show a couple of months ago, although it is not yet confirmed for UK distribution. It is a really roomy little car, like a proper 4-door Smart, but the doors are really thin, and it weighs nothing, so with a 600cc turbo engine it has ok town performance. It felt like the future of towncars, in a big way, although it may be a bit too slow for out of town use.
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    It's the new Mitsubishi I-cantaffordgas. ;)

  • gsemikegsemike Member Posts: 2,439
    Is that the 4 door Smart that we could potentially get here?
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    You're exactly right Magnette. There's even some
    chatter about the i-Car being offered in the states.

    Well, if I could make out the badge, I could tell you who licensed it.

    Not the Holden Monaro
    Not the Pontiac GTO

    Either the Vauxhall or Opel Monaro.

    All of them are the same car, simply rebadged for sale in different parts of the world.

    Has been replaced by the VE-series from Holden, which is the new GM RWD chassis.
  • bumpybumpy Member Posts: 4,425
    Vauxhall Monaro VXR500. The last of the VZ Monaros and more fun than most thanks to the supercharger under those hood scoops.

    How much power bumpy ?

    Rocky
  • bumpybumpy Member Posts: 4,425
    493 hp. Forced induction and the LS2 can be friends.

    Ahh, the Ford Fusion of Europe, not to be confused with its South American doppelganger, the EcoSport.

    The Fusion, IIRC, sells rather poorly as it's not that much more practical than the Fiesta it's based on. British magazines, I know, like to rip it as utterly pointless, but I suppose it appeals to people who want the SUV look.
  • boomchekboomchek Member Posts: 5,516
    yes correct the Ford Fusion :)

    I had to search the memory banks but those are Autobianchi
    Bianchinas, ca. mid-late 1960s.

    Noooo, it's The Sunshine State, always has been and always will be.

    "The Smart State" was a ridiculous initiative of current state Premier Peter Beattie to... I'm not sure what it was to do. Make us appear conceited?

    When you purchase a car in QLD, you can get the choice to either have a "The Sunshine State" or "The Smart State" numberplate. Guess what most people pick. Yep, "Sunshine State". The only cars you'll see with "Smart State" plates are usually Beattie's own employees. The scheme has been that unpopular. Honestly... "Smart State"? Pffff.

    Anywho, I won't say what car it is because it's too easy for me. We'll give somebody else a shot ;)

    By the way, Queensland is a lovely state with wonderful people and great places to visit. We just have a dodgy Premier.

    Some kind of a Holden Omega or something.

    Correct!
    Its 1968 Autobianchi Bianchinas - distant cousin of Fiat 600

    That's an early Nash-Healy. Not sure of the year. Later ones had the headlights inboard the grille.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    You're right Lemko, it's a 1951 Nash-Healey. Later cars also featured one-piece windshields.

    Early to mid 70's VW Thing.

    One got 'pimped' on Pimp My Ride last season (no snide comments on my sick TV watching habits, please).
  • bumpybumpy Member Posts: 4,425
    Our curiously-plated bugger is a Toyota Lexcen, one of a multitude of early-90s Australian rebadge jobs; this one derived from a VN Holden Commodore of some variety.

    Lancia Aurelia

    Yep the pictured car is an early example (Aurelia B20) of the pioneering Lancia GT

    Tr-4
    Nope, it's a TR-4A (1965-67) which had vertical grille bars rather than the egg-crate mesh seen on the '62-'64 TR-4.;)

    My non-IRS (it was an option)'66 TR-4A looked just like the pictured car except for black upholstery and disc wheels (wires were optional as well.)
