#13 looks like a Brooklands silencer.  Is it an MG?

Here's a list of some of the answers or clues!


Quote from: woodinsight on April 18, 2011, 06:48:12 AM
I'm following Paul Jaray's example (Black Hole Candidates) by posting my own mysteries here 'en bloc'.
Some may have already been solved here and I apologise if any were lined up as future puzzles - I can delete any on request that fall into that category.

I have provided a few observations that I know that could help and will post an additional view if I have one. 
All I request is that - don't ask me questions that I can't answer!

One point is offered for each positive identification, name of the car and who built it, even if it's a repost.
Please provide proof/source to establish true identities.
Points will be awarded as they are solved.

So let's get the ball rolling by opening it up for Rookies and Experts.
Pros will be able to join in soon.

Some easy points up for grabs?

Hints (and solutions)

01 - French, Simca-based, falsely badged as a Lotus
02 - Meyra Typ 56 (solved by Paul Jaray)
03 - Emeryson 2-seater (solved by Paul Jaray)
04 - Fiat-based coupe in the USA
05 - Triumph TR3 R3 1957 Special - Ferrari inspired c.1969 (solved by Oguerrerob)
06 - Fiat-based
07 - British (rear window missing)
08 - Albi-Devin 1961 (solved by D-Type)
09 - Photo taken at Daytona 2008
10 - British. Photo taken at Spa 2010. I should know this one but can't find it.
11 - Fiat Topolino with a body by Paul Farago 1949 (solved by Allemano)
12 - Medsker Jaguar XJ220 replica (solved by whcgt)
13 - British
14 - Reitz Pinnaduo 1958 (solved by Allemano)
15 - Photo taken in 1947. Possibly an Alvis with a Bidee body. Apologies for the poor image.
16 - British. Maybe MG-based?
17 - Apparently Belgian based on a Lotus Esprit
18 - Faka Motorrikscha c.1950 (solved by Wendax)
19 - Standard Superior Coupe 1934 (solved by Limo & Wendax)
20 - Midget Fiat Topolino 1948 (solved by Quiller)

Same (trade) numberplate which was a Guildford (Surrey) issue so we may be looking at before/after restoration pictures. That adds credibility to the idea someone had that the "new" picture was taken at Goodwood.

The shape of the car badge (if not the contents) is clearly seen. Does anybody recognise it?

SACO, is your car somehow connected to the cars puzzled here?
Otherwise please post it either as a separate puzzle or here: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/news-information-and-feedback/information-requests-what-is-this-car-thread/

That's proof enough for me. Woodinsight hasn't been posting for over  9 years now, athough he logged in this year though. I'll award you the point anyway for solving this old conundrum.  :applause:

But it is 2500cc not the 328cc of the model name!
