Who knows this car from Zurich ?

Wendax · « **Reply #1301 on:** May 29, 2020, 04:18:44 AM »

I think I have seen this microcar before, but can't place it. If it is a repost, please tell me its name. If it wasn't featured here before and you know which car it is, please let me know so that I can post it as a puzzle.

I think it's the 1988-90 CTD Andarinho.

Wendax · « **Reply #1303 on:** May 30, 2020, 05:15:47 AM »

Thank you! I was thinking in a completely different direction.

Allemano · « **Reply #1304 on:** June 24, 2020, 09:22:57 AM »

Any ideas what this could be? I'm stuck.

Wendax · « **Reply #1305 on:** June 24, 2020, 10:03:25 AM »

1949 De Soto?

That's it I think! Thank you!

This would have made a great puzzle car if I'd known what it is, but sadly I don't (beyond it being French I believe). Has anyone got any ideas about its identity please? Thanks .

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #1308 on:** June 26, 2020, 04:10:33 PM »

It's Italian, Baldelli Berlinetta XZ007

Djetset · « **Reply #1309 on:** June 26, 2020, 05:08:35 PM »

Ah, that's the one. Perfect, thank you, much appreciated

Ah, perfect. Thank you Allemano, very much appreciated
You're welcome! It took me a whole day to find it again!

This would have made for a good puzzle, except that I don't know who made this Mercedes-Benz hearse, using a W116 front end, adapted to a W114-W115 body. Does anyone have any ideas please? Thank you.

Wendax · « **Reply #1312 on:** July 22, 2020, 01:03:58 PM »

It was not unusual to update these low-mileage well-kept hearses or upgrade them right from the start. I have seen one done by Rappold myself (see below), but yours looks less elegant, so it might have been done by a less known coachbuilder.

Thank you Wendax, that's a good start to solving this headlight mystery

Hi, does anyone know which car is this in the red circle?

SACO · « **Reply #1315 on:** October 24, 2020, 02:42:00 AM »

Lancia Aurelia PF200 1952 by Pinin Farina ?

neilshouse · « **Reply #1316 on:** October 25, 2020, 03:12:56 AM »

Does anyone know anything about this car?

Based on an Austin A40 sports.

Thank You, but although very similar, it´s not the same one, the car that I´m looking for identification is Fiat engined, and racing in Brazil

SACO · « **Reply #1318 on:** November 20, 2020, 05:37:14 AM »

About the Austin A40, maybe a relationship with this car (a Bristol ? )

Hi guys,

i hope that it is also allowed to ask for information about a coachbuilder - as in this case the car is quiiiiite obvious.

On the dogleg, right under the co-drivers door (between the front wheel and the hinge of the passenger door in the rear) - a badge is more or less visible.
Does anyone recognize it?

As the lettering on the door tells, the car was used for a business in 6651 Häselgehr, Tyrol - Austria.
But as some boarders are within reach, i would say it is possible that the bus was even converted in another country (Germany, Swiss, maybe even Italy?).

Any help would be highly appreciated. I have seen many Volkswagen Transporters from the 1950ies modified by different coachbuilders - but i have never seen this oval badge pictured above. Of course it is also possible, that it is just the badge of the car dealer..

Thank you in advance and all the best,
Alex

Same request regarding this bus on the photo below:
I remember seeing a second picture of the very same bus (same licence plate), with a round and white badge on the co-drivers dogleg. If i find it, i will add it here too.

Hi,

anybody able to identify this sporty old car?

Regards, RT

Wendax · « **Reply #1322 on:** December 19, 2020, 10:52:22 AM »

Any ideas on this one? Going by the Swiss number plates I was thinking about a Beutler body but can't find a matching car.

Romantic Technofreak · « **Reply #1323 on:** December 20, 2020, 12:48:44 PM »

Another try. No single search ever gave the least bit of infomation about this teardrop thing. No Talbot-Lago or whatsoever. I mean, it might not be old either. Look at the wheels. They show there might be something modern under the skin. The buses in the distance point the scenery is somewhere in Eastern Europe. Any guess?

Romantic Technofreak · « **Reply #1324 on:** December 22, 2020, 11:38:06 AM »

I cannot help myself, now I mean to see there is a "simple" Volkswagen Beetle (old version with "pretzel" rear windows) forming the center of the car above. Take a look here. It is not the same, but the similarity is striking: https://www.behance.net/gallery/23835269/VW-Beetle-Custom-Black-Edition
