I'd say Fiat 501:

Thank you, that radiator is a very good match.

Somebody on a other forum is asking what this is. Any ideas? I am totally stumped beyond probably French, early 1990s prototype...

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #1228 on:** April 27, 2018, 05:21:35 AM »

It's a Homemade car from Saint Petersburg. Built by Konstantin Myatnikov.

Thanks! I just found it at the same moment...

Seems this guy loves yellow cars!

barrett · « **Reply #1231 on:** June 14, 2018, 04:46:55 AM »

A long shot, but does anyone recognise this support car from the 1949 Tour de France?

nicanary · « **Reply #1232 on:** June 14, 2018, 04:51:22 AM »

I wonder if this is the same car?

oko94 · « **Reply #1233 on:** June 14, 2018, 05:05:17 AM »

Another picture.

nicanary · « **Reply #1234 on:** June 14, 2018, 06:17:08 AM »

Simca 8 ?

Wendax · « **Reply #1235 on:** June 14, 2018, 06:44:40 AM »

As it is was a team car for an Italian cyclist and it also appeared at the 1949 Giro d'Italia, I'd guess that it is a Fiat.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #1236 on:** June 23, 2018, 05:36:09 PM »

What about this?
I have no idea :/

Arunas · « **Reply #1237 on:** July 02, 2018, 08:11:32 AM »

I would like to know more about this one. Do you recognize it?

It is most probaly from Australia.

Djetset · « **Reply #1238 on:** August 13, 2018, 11:06:13 AM »

Sorry, I'm having brain fade! Can anyone quickly please help identify this truck (make, model and year) as it's potentially being entered into this year's Goodwood Revival for a specific purpose in a few weeks time, and I don't think it's what its owner claims it to be. Thank you in advance. (Now resolved; Ford V 3000 S).

nicanary · « **Reply #1239 on:** August 13, 2018, 12:26:00 PM »

I expect you're already aware of this, but the truck features on a certain site for Ford Truck Enthusiasts (no link here

) where the owner is requesting help with axle ratios. There is a longish post from Germany which I can't translate which may or may not be about the origin of this vehicle.

I can't help any more, but it certainly looks like a Ford V3000. Unless it was built by Alan Mann for an Indiana Jones film..............

PS See you in 4 weeks time!

Wendax · « **Reply #1240 on:** August 13, 2018, 01:04:10 PM »

I also can't find any obvious differences between your picture and the authentic pictures of a 1941-1945 Ford V 3000 S (G 918 TS) in Werner Oswald's book about German army vehicles. What makes you think that it is not an authentic German WW2 Ford?

(The German post in the Ford Truck Enthusiasts forum is just from another guy rebuilding a similar truck asking about the whereabouts of the twin wheels on the rear axle, as his truck has only single wheels fitted and he'd like to have the twin wheels too.)

Djetset · « **Reply #1241 on:** August 13, 2018, 01:46:15 PM »

Thank you for the confirmation of the Ford V3000 truck Nicanary and Wendax, which is very useful and much appreciated.

A friend of mine recently came across some fascinating photographs of interesting cars casually parked in London's streets in the early 1960s, a few of which I'll post shortly. For the moment though, does anyone know what this fine motor car is please, as I'm not 100% certain. Thank you. (Still unresolved).

Allemano · « **Reply #1243 on:** October 02, 2018, 07:36:24 AM »

I'm stuck with this one (without my sources..) though it should be fairly easy..

Anyone who can give me the name of both Porsche specials on this Petrolicious beautiful pic? (not the one far in the background)

Looks like a strange modified (maybe formerly damaged) De Tomaso Mangusta

This unusual 1976 Alfa Romeo GTV with gullwing doors is shortly to be auctioned by Aguttes in France. They don't seem to know who converted the Alfa to gullwing doors, which I don't either, so I'm posting it here in case any fellow Puzzlers might know who created this strange one-off? Thanks. (Still unresolved).

Djetset · « **Reply #1246 on:** November 12, 2018, 08:45:22 AM »

A friend of mine stumbled across this whilst out for a walk in the south of England over the weekend. Has anyone got any idea what it is please? Thanks.

sooofast · « **Reply #1247 on:** December 13, 2018, 10:22:21 PM »

A friend of mine is offering my for sale, but I do not know anything of this car, neither the owner. would you help me with this?

nicanary · « **Reply #1248 on:** December 14, 2018, 04:14:15 AM »

I have seen these photos before somewhere, but I can't remember where, and I can't find them again on a Google search. In my fading memory, I think this was built somewhere in South America from a production Alfa Romeo of some sort, possibly a 1900 SS, or maybe even a 1600 Giulietta.

Is there an engine fitted? If it's an Alfa, I suggest a specialist website like Alfa Romeo Bulletin Board (I'm not supposed to use links!) - in fact that's where I may have seen it.

Djetset · « **Reply #1249 on:** December 14, 2018, 09:05:00 AM »

I'm not very knowledgable about motorhomes/campers, but intrigued by this Mercedes-Benz-based on recently seen in the UK that uses BMW 5-Series E39 headlamps.

Does anyone have any idea who made this camper please, and what it might be called? Thanks in advance. (Now resolved; Eura Mobil 666 HB).
