Know what it is?

No. But those headlights sure look like they came straight of a first generation 911.

BTW, I just LOVE your StarWars avatar. That is TOO cool! Also like the added smilies!

Got a mini-Maserati look to the front end..........

Not a Maser.

Otto Puzzell · December 04, 2006, 03:48:49 AM

Correct. While a Maserati would most likely be parked in heated garage, this car might be more readily found parked on the lawn at a trailer park.

The GSM was manufactured in Cape Town by Bob van Niekirk between 1958 and 1966. The first model built, the Dart, featured a ladder chassis with Ford 100E running gear, and a wide variety of engines.

The Dart was replaced in 1962 by the Flamingo, which was powered by a 1.7 litre Ford Taunus or Cortina 1500 engine.

For 1 point : what's this (make and model) and from when ?

mekubb · November 06, 2012, 04:32:40 PM

Up a level !

GSM (Glass Sport Motors) Flamingo from South Africa from 1962.

mekubb · November 06, 2012, 05:09:42 PM

That's the one, 1 point for you.

Carnut · November 06, 2012, 06:19:13 PM

Merged.
As mentioned in PM to you mekubb this was a repost, and as such shouldn't really have moved beyond the Rookies stage.
You do read your PMs don't you mekubb, because you have never actually replied to any I've sent you..?

Allan L · November 06, 2012, 06:32:46 PM

Probably the first double repost!
But then, as we've agreed before, not much harm in reposting at Rookie level.
