Exactly, oko was just a bit faster, because I copied a picture of it:

I think this one may have been a puzzle - any ideas?

Do you know what is this? It is captioned as "Samsung" but I'm not able to find any connection...

It's the Turkish Karsan V1 New York City taxi concept, first shown at the Geneva Salon around eight years ago.

Indeed! The caption drove me far from the right name!

Have official brochures of this car in my collection, if you need some additional info - let me know.

Does anyone recognize these cars and who built them?

Carnut · « **Reply #1083 on:** July 12, 2016, 02:28:14 PM »

Looks like that MG Special made in New Zealand; or was it a Ford?
I'll have to see if I can find it...

galrot · « **Reply #1084 on:** July 12, 2016, 03:27:02 PM »

I believe the pictures were taken in a bodyshop on the American east coast but I don't know if the MG special was constructed there (it appears to be only car that is complete in the pictures so perhaps not). I have a couple of more pictures of the same place should it be of interest.

This is the car I was thinking of:

Whilst there are similarities it's obviously not it...

galrot · « **Reply #1086 on:** July 13, 2016, 08:02:58 AM »

Ah, I thought you were thinking of the MG T-type in the background. I can certainly see the similarities, but I suspect both cars were inspired by the Jaguar C-type and that's where the grille shape (which is the biggest similarity between the two) comes from.

Here is a closer look at the last car in the pictures. I would think it should be possible to at least identify one of these cars.

I was looking through some old family 35mm slides from the late 1950s/early 1960s. My Dad used to race at Virginia International Raceway, and that's where these pictures were taken. I was hoping someone would know what model cars are in them. There are several that I can't ID. They're probably easy for most car nuts.

Here's the first one (001, I'll call it)

Buford · « **Reply #1088 on:** August 05, 2016, 10:46:15 PM »

Here's 002 (Austin Healy 3000 Mk II?)

Buford · « **Reply #1089 on:** August 05, 2016, 10:47:34 PM »

003 (Lotus Six?)

Buford · « **Reply #1090 on:** August 05, 2016, 10:49:54 PM »

004 (Sunbeam Tiger or Alpine?)

Buford · « **Reply #1091 on:** August 05, 2016, 10:51:56 PM »

005 (MGA MK II?)

Buford · « **Reply #1092 on:** August 05, 2016, 10:52:27 PM »

006 (MGA MK II?)

Buford · « **Reply #1093 on:** August 05, 2016, 10:53:03 PM »

007 (Austin Healy 3000 Mk II?)

Buford · « **Reply #1094 on:** August 05, 2016, 11:01:03 PM »

Now that I look at them close-up, two of them are the same car (002 and 007). Also, it looks like 005 and 006 are the same model vehicle. I went back and included my guesses as to what the cars are. I have no idea about 001!

Hello and welcome to Autopuzzles Buford!
I've re-sized your photos to fit the normal display area and will post them with my comments (if I have any):
This looks like an Elva Courier to me
