Near Mint – Solved by Many!
« on: July 22, 2009, 07:08:10 AM »
Twenty cars in "near mint" condition.
I took a couple of easy ones and a bunch of rather difficult!
Are you man enough to identify them?  :D (I'm quite sure there will be enough left for Professionals.)
As usual one point for each.
Points will awarded when everything's cleaned up!

NM 04 is the Bizzarini Manta, the first concept car produced by Giugiaro when he founded his new Ital Design company.
NM 16 I think is a Gilbern?
NM 18 is the (only) TVR Tina Coupe

You're correct on NM_04 and on NM_18, but NM_16 is not the Gilbern T-11 (I suppose you've meant that;))

If possible do not edit you guesses, but post new ones. Otherwise it's a little chaotic to follow the score.  ;)

I've the name 'Familiare' instead of 'Giardinetta', but it's the same car you have in mind I guess.
