 :-\ 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.

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?

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

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

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

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.

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... ;D
