No 1 is a right hooker, not British so makes it an Aussie. Looks like a Holden torano, but they never made one with twin headlights. Cant be a Ford falcon either, tho it looks like a 68 XT, but they didnt have twin lights either! I know the other three but will keep quiet to keep the thread going.

The lights are similar to Rover P8/P9 that never made it, but not sure that is a BL badge. Reply to this message | Report message

My definitive answers to two and three: 2. Matra 530 LX? (Source image: faimg1.forum-auto.com/mesimages/270299/Matra%20530.JPG ) 3. Monteverdi Sierra, Baujahr: 1980 (Source image: www.classicdriver.com/upload/images/_de/4635/img04.jpg ) I'll have a 'think' about the other two...

I was going to name no.3 as some kind of Bristol but it's got 4 doors. EDIT: Humph's cracked it anyway. No idea on any of the others. Reply to this message | Report message

I think you'll find zero almost cracked 3. I happened to post details from the site where Stu actually got the image in my post above (a Monteverdi Sierra). I did the same for two. Feels like providing proof of workings for maths or physics A level. Last edited by: rtj70 on Sat 25 Jun 11 at 22:12 Reply to this message | Report message

1. Leyland P76 2. Matra 530 3. Monteverdi Sierra Well done chaps, how about 4? Reply to this message | Report message

No 4 registration YBT - Hull. Aren't Ginetta based in Yorkshire? That would be my guess. Reply to this message | Report message

agreed 1,2, and 3, how about Trident Ventura for no 4 ? Reply to this message | Report message       2

Close enough stan the man, I think its a Clipper though with the big V8 rather than the V6 Ventura, vents on the front wings are different. Last edited by: FoR on Sat 25 Jun 11 at 22:35 Reply to this message | Report message

Google Goggles worked out 2 and 3 for me. Hence knowing the exact images Stu used. Reply to this message | Report message

Problem with rare cars is that there arent alot of pictures about of any one car. Ill work out another trio for tomorrow, ive got some evil ideas, that lot were obviously a bit easy :-) Reply to this message | Report message

Stu, don't rely on Google and Internet sites. I found two with no effort using Google. I even found the sites you'd probably got the images from. Did I work out where you got them from? Or Google really... Goggles is clever. Although Goggles didn't recognise the other two and not did it Ted's effort.

Ted you'd be surprised how good Google's Goggle's app works. I was in a bar in Greece last Sept and had a free Internet connection I'd 'found'. Took a photo of what I could see and it recognised it and pulled up other links. Reply to this message | Report message

I think the first is a Renault but a collaboration with another maker, possibly American, and not built in France. Second is a Matra Djet I think-lots still around over here. Inspiration over. Reply to this message | Report message

I came across this thread too late to identify anything, as the only one I would have got right was the P76 - it's either an Executive or a Super model with the double headlights. Reply to this message | Report message
