For rookies!

Keep it real!

Djetset · « **Reply #2 on:** March 11, 2009, 03:53:30 PM »

I think this is the Dangel Mangouste Barchetta, a Renault 8 Gordini-powered race series cup car made from 1967-70.

You think very right, but I have this car under different model name. Locked for 48 hours!

It was also known as the Dangel 812. Here's another picture of it taken at Reims last year.

Well done! The point is Yours.

1 point for identifying this car correctly:

Carnut · « **Reply #7 on:** March 22, 2011, 10:05:53 AM »

Experts?

Carnut · « **Reply #8 on:** April 05, 2011, 07:29:09 AM »

I predict this one will be solved by the Professionals in 5 minutes.
Frankly I'm surprised it has travelled so far..

Djetset · « **Reply #9 on:** April 05, 2011, 08:19:58 AM »

Gosh, talk about wrong time, wrong place! I know this one but stuck on a long (and boring) conference call so can't bring the car to mind.

It's French, and could be a Fournier Marcardier barquette, but something doesn't quite ring true. Will apply more thought when my brain is fully-engaged.

Actually you've got it there so you can keep the brain disengaged in case it overheats!
Well done.

Golly, sometimes I even surprise myself! Thanks Carnut.

woodinsight · « **Reply #12 on:** April 05, 2011, 10:37:46 AM »

Are you sure this is a Marcadier?
I have it as a Dangel 812 of 1969.
See image below of the Dangel and the Marcadier for comparison - note the shape of the rear wings and other differences.

Djetset · « **Reply #13 on:** April 05, 2011, 10:45:26 AM »

Hence my confusion! I think I can safely say that it is not the Dangel though, as there are clear differences in the rear wing panels, doors, etc.

woodinsight · « **Reply #14 on:** April 05, 2011, 11:03:15 AM »

Yes - I see what you mean.
I'll have another search to see if I can come up with something.......

Carnut · « **Reply #15 on:** April 05, 2011, 11:40:49 AM »

I got the picture from a French website, although needless to say I can't find it any more.. It was definitely described as a Marcadier there, but looking at the Dangel I would say on balance it looks very much like that rather than the Marcadier.

I've scanned a picture from a book, below, and I would say that my puzzle is in fact a car like this.

I may have to re-allocate the point... Any further thoughts?

woodinsight · « **Reply #16 on:** April 05, 2011, 11:46:52 AM »

Carnut, I'm not interested in gaining a point but was only pointing out my doubts regarding the Marcadier.
As I said I'll search for more conclusive evidence and will post any findings here.

woodinsight · « **Reply #17 on:** April 05, 2011, 11:51:52 AM »

Just came across this view of a Dangel Mangouste 812 of 1969 that may compare well with the puzzle car as the view is from the same angle.

Djetset · « **Reply #18 on:** April 05, 2011, 11:55:57 AM »

As much as I hate to lose a point, now that I look again and concerntrate fully, I do know what this is and I have to concide that it is the Dangel Mangouste, so I guess Woodinsight should be awarded the point as he got there before me (curse that dull conference call!).

I'm afraid you're just going to have to put up with being allocated the point, woodinsight, as I have now re-allocated it! I'm convinced you are correct, as is Djetset now anyway, so you have earned it legitimately.

Thanks for the fair play Djetset.

woodinsight · « **Reply #20 on:** April 05, 2011, 12:42:26 PM »

Thank you but I'm sure Djetset would have also guessed it correctly and I highjacked the puzzle after it was "solved"
I think Djetset deserves the point as much as I do as we both had misgivings regarding the true identity.

Carnut · « **Reply #21 on:** April 05, 2011, 02:44:06 PM »

I'm sorry to say though guys that neither of you gets the point!
The fact that this car is a Dangel 812 now makes it a repost:

Perhaps someone can merge it please?

My apologies to woodinsight and Djetset.

woodinsight · « **Reply #22 on:** April 05, 2011, 02:57:58 PM »

Accepted in the spirit of fair play!

At least it solves the problem of whom to award the point to!

Djetset · « **Reply #24 on:** April 05, 2011, 05:48:04 PM »

Ah, that's why it looked familiar as I was awarded the point originally when the Dangel was posted first time around!
