#1: I just found it on my HD – is the name Galtier we are after?

$:-\$ I knew this car, but forgot its name. If I'm not completely mad it was posted by one of our members on a long lost mystery car thread...

That's the car - I was beginning to have doubts about it myself!
Well done!

I'd really like to know if there ain't any Zagato connection. It just screams "Zagato"

I'll keep a sharp eye out for more information on it.
I'm also sure it must be Zagato or a very good copy.

Okay, only 4 left now.

My apologies, I stated that #8 was American when it should be Canadian.

I'll post a few other photos on the other 3 if it helps in identification.

another view of #11

woodinsight · « **Reply #108 on:** December 27, 2010, 04:58:41 AM »

a more recent view of #18

woodinsight · « **Reply #109 on:** December 27, 2010, 05:02:39 AM »

and another more recent view of #20

woodinsight · « **Reply #110 on:** January 06, 2011, 03:48:29 PM »

Time for some giveaway clues (I need to post Part II soon!)

#8 - the name sounds as though it could be an occupation associated with horses
#11 - what's another name for a traveller?
#18 - I stated she's freezing earlier - well, she's not that cold!
#20 - would Sir FW approve?

woodinsight · « **Reply #111 on:** January 11, 2011, 04:19:36 PM »

Surprising - nobody has hazarded a guess - I gave away the names in my last post!

Aaron65 · « **Reply #112 on:** January 11, 2011, 05:27:55 PM »

I'll guess "Cowboy" for 8 and "Williams" for #20...

woodinsight · « **Reply #113 on:** January 11, 2011, 05:35:46 PM »

Not Cowboy for #8 - more a European type of traveller
However #20 is correct - Williams!

#11: Ferrari Dino Gipsy P271, built 1971, 220 hp, 2000 cc, driven by Anton Auer right now

woodinsight · « **Reply #115 on:** January 12, 2011, 04:27:07 AM »

That's the car although Gipsy was a marque in its own right being constructed by Giancarlo Guidetti at Concorezzo MI. This was I believe the first of several similar cars he built until 1976.
Well done Wendax

Is #8 a Rodeo?

woodinsight · « **Reply #117 on:** January 15, 2011, 12:59:38 AM »

Not a Rodeo.
I believe I mixed up my clue for car #8 in reply #113 - I was referring to car #11.

#8 is one of the first car's built by this American manufacturer of sports racing cars. The make begins with S.

Aaron65 · « **Reply #118 on:** January 15, 2011, 09:32:12 AM »

Is #8 a Sadler?

woodinsight · « **Reply #119 on:** January 15, 2011, 10:14:47 AM »

That's it - 1954 Sadler with a Jupiter engine - well done!

faksta · « **Reply #120 on:** January 15, 2011, 10:15:26 AM »

Would be funny if it is - I thought about it yesterday, but decided to not even try, as supposed it would be nearly impossible...

P.S. Huh...

woodinsight · « **Reply #121 on:** January 15, 2011, 10:32:19 AM »

Faksta, I've attached the same photo of #8 with caption and courtesy of Bill Sadler himself

woodinsight · « **Reply #122 on:** January 15, 2011, 10:34:48 AM »

Now only #18 to go.

I've already given you the name in my reply #110!

Aaron65 · « **Reply #123 on:** January 15, 2011, 10:36:55 AM »

Is it a Coldwell C14--1970ish?

woodinsight · « **Reply #124 on:** January 15, 2011, 10:57:34 AM »

That's it - well done Aaron 65.

I can now announce this puzzle solved - points will be awarded shortly.

Group puzzle "Sports Racing Cars - Part 2" is under preparation and will appear in the near future.

Thank you to everyone who participated and I hope you all enjoyed it.
