Nice Monsieur!

Thanks Allemano.
I decided to try a group puzzle and if it's successful I'll follow it up with another in due course.
By the way I'm British (from the frozen north) but now live in southern France (where it's a bit warmer!)

Allemano · « **Reply #5 on:** November 26, 2010, 03:17:20 AM »

I thought so...

Yeah!

faksta · « **Reply #8 on:** November 26, 2010, 10:48:51 AM »

A puzzle to follow closely

No Rookie response so up to the Experts to have a go........

barrett · « **Reply #10 on:** November 28, 2010, 05:42:30 PM »

Nice puzzle MJW - at the moment the only one I recognise is the Rover-BRM gas turbine car, #15

Limo · « **Reply #11 on:** November 28, 2010, 06:44:32 PM »

#12: Mean Sonora
#17 Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ

woodinsight · « **Reply #12 on:** November 29, 2010, 01:46:05 AM »

Thanks for starting this one off Limo.

#12 is not a Mean Sonora
#17 does have an Alfa Romeo in the title but is not Italian!

woodinsight · « **Reply #13 on:** November 29, 2010, 10:43:41 AM »

#12 - this may be based on a Mean but was built quite independently under another name

gilescooperuk · « **Reply #14 on:** November 29, 2010, 06:00:26 PM »

#3 Lotus 23 with Le Mans Tail

D-type · « **Reply #15 on:** November 29, 2010, 06:31:36 PM »

#5 Golding-Cooper

woodinsight · « **Reply #16 on:** November 29, 2010, 09:16:21 PM »

#15 - not the Rover-BRM (wrong country)

woodinsight · « **Reply #17 on:** November 29, 2010, 09:19:02 PM »

Giles - I think you meant #2 (not #3) might be a Lotus 23 but I'm afraid it's not.
It is British though.

woodinsight · « **Reply #18 on:** November 29, 2010, 09:20:21 PM »

#5 - It's the Golding-Cooper.
Well done, first correct answer.

gilescooperuk · « **Reply #19 on:** November 30, 2010, 05:48:33 PM »

oops - did get the wrong number there.

lets try again
2 - Elva?
15 - gas turbine powered?

hondast · « **Reply #20 on:** November 30, 2010, 06:07:13 PM »

#17 Marciano 268A Granturismo?

woodinsight · « **Reply #21 on:** December 01, 2010, 04:53:27 AM »

Giles -
#2 - not an Elva
This marque is relatively well known but less so in this guise.

#15 - not gas-turbine powered and by the way it's not from the UK

woodinsight · « **Reply #22 on:** December 01, 2010, 04:55:20 AM »

#17 - not a Marciano - wrong country

streamliner · « **Reply #23 on:** December 01, 2010, 06:44:15 PM »

#1: 1959 Abarth 750 GT by Zagato?

streamliner · « **Reply #24 on:** December 01, 2010, 07:29:38 PM »

#9: Any relation to a Porsche 904-6, or would that be way too easy??? $:-\$
