Can't say what it is so far, but why do you think it's from 70s? Looks rather mid to late 60s to me.

I also think that the car was constructed till 1970.

Probably an easy one, but I can't remember.

Picture from Moscow

Ah..clear, I was just thinking that picture name was given by you - it suggests 70s.

I suppose it's Zolder. Also a Glas in the background might be aclue. If there was a racing number on the car, it could help very much, but there's none. Not even sure whether it's a race or some sort of gathering

The sponsoring at the back is of radio maker SBR (Société Belge Radio-Electrique) so I believe it is a Belgian circuit.

faksta · « **Reply #730 on:** February 13, 2013, 03:09:41 PM »

Well, like I said, looks pretty much like Zolder - there are some pics which you can G**gle and compare

This car is proving a mystery for me - any ideas? Has it been AutoPuzzled before?
I have a name but no other info.....
Any help is welcome - thanks!

Looks to be based on a Mk3 Triumph Spitfire, modified in the mid 80s judging by the wheel trims...

Thanks Barrett - I may use it as a puzzle in the future to attempt to learn more....

does anyone know where the name Barkey car came into play?

DeAutogids · « **Reply #736 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:35:55 AM »

Do you mean the Dutch car with that name? If so then it was simply the name of the guy who proposed the car.

porridgehead · « **Reply #737 on:** February 25, 2013, 09:57:40 PM »

Here's something you don't see every day. Or at least I don't, otherwise I'd know what the heck it is. Which I don't. I hope someone here does.

Any clues? Thanks!

1948 Fiat Special Botticella; S/N 7188 Offered at Bonhams in 2010

Quote

Lot # S157 1948 Fiat Special Botticella; S/N 7188; Silver-Grey/Red leatherette; Competition car, original as-raced, 3- condition; Not sold at Hammer bid of $40,000 -- RHD. Jaeger tach, Sacma gauges, cycle fenders that don't match the paint, Marchal driving lights on stalks plus lights inside the grille and turn signals, dual Plexi aeroscreens, 4-spoke woodrim steering wheel, chrome wire wheels, 4-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Looks real to me. Towed onto the field and hood doesn't open, as much as I poked and prodded under the cowl and around the grille. Purportedly has a Cisitalia chassis tag somewhere and was offered in 1992 or so by the old Auto Toy Store in Ft. Lauderdale. No one, it's safe to say, at Mecum's Monterey auction had any idea what this was, including me. It might be a Mille Miglia eligible Cisitalia botticella. Then again, it might be a bunch of parts assembled many years ago in some Italian barn. It's one of those things that makes attending auctions an adventure. Oh, for Raymond Milo, who would have been able to quote chapter and verse on it. Whatever it is it didn't have enough traction to find a buyer.

Thank you. The depth of knowledge here is always breathtaking.

I heard it was a stillborn car project in 1948 by John Hugenholtz? Im not 100% sure, only what I,ve heard?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #741 on:** March 03, 2013, 09:46:48 AM »

I just found this lovely roadster on Flickr, labeled as a 1927 Fiat 509 Spider. Overall the styling seems closer to 1930, and in 1927 the Fiat radiator emblem was round, not rectangular. Can this be a Fiat, or is it something else?

The reply linking to a book is the answer to your question.

Definitely not a 509 (which was a compact-car). I'd say a Fiat 524.

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #746 on:** March 06, 2013, 08:23:55 AM »

Thank you als15. With that number, I find it is a 1932 524C.

Here's a larger view -

Crossing the fine line between making a puzzle with no information, and asking others for help...

I have this as a 1927 Bugatti Type 43. Photos taken in CZ.

Does anyone know which coachbuilder was involved?
