Another dog! Lassie?

For one point, help me to identify this car!

Is it a 1949 car?

Reminds me of the Fiat 127 by Majorette, or something similar by Matchbox. Cool.

The Matchbox car with the dog looking out of the window was the MG 1100

Not the one I was thinking of

. But you are right in that sense. It was a lovely thing they used to do. Why is there n osuch fun in modern diecast?

The front end recalls the Ghia style....but the side lines not so much.

I've finally found it! It's a Simca 8 Cabriolet designed by L.L. Lepoix in 1948. It was built by Spohn in Ravensburg with help from Lepoix' friend Franz Joseph Villing.

Will post pics, soon!

Allemano · « **Reply #13 on:** May 13, 2012, 02:10:48 PM »

Sorry, but the pics are a bit small.

It seems as if I have underestimated a certain German veteran car magazine so far.

SACO · « **Reply #15 on:** May 13, 2012, 02:52:46 PM »

The front view of bugatti 101 also by Lepoix and Spohn is very similar !
