Hello all

New member here, posting from Suffolk UK

Main interests are Model A's and T's, but a passing glance at 50's English Ford Specials (Flatpack EB60 Sports on the list of things to get round to)

A fellow club member has a friend who has just bought this. No idea what it is but kph instrumentation suggests a European heritage despite US mechanicals

Can only link to pics sorry, but YouTube below might help

Many thanks

Funny, I've got a picture of the same car in my collection. It is most probably an Opel P4 with post-war bodywork, either done by a private person or a small unknown coachbuilder. The Opel has a post-1953 East German registration from Leipzig.

A Japanese tin toy dream car inspired by Buick, I'd say.
Would have looked nice next to Tintin's Turbot I.  :)

I found it.. It's an ordinary toy car from Spain. Sorry was a little bit fooled by a friend of mine.

Despite the German post-war license plate it looks like a coachbuilt Italian car to me, perhaps some kind of Fiat 1500. Who can tell me exactly?

Hello everyone,
are you able to identify this Czech-registered car? According to rixo insurance check website, it has been registered in 1995

I'd say it is a British Merlin +2. At least the chrome script reads like MERLIN 2000 to me.

who can help me identify this small car?
no manufacturer's plate, probable USA origin.
the only clues I identified:
-flathead 6 engine from studebaker,
-front bumper from cadillac 41,
 -inscribed on the WITHNEY steering wheel,
-The car is around 10-12 'long & 41/2' wide,
-1948 sticker on the windshield,
-a US Navy crest certainly from the previous owner
 is it a prototype or a very beautiful handcrafted achievement?

Could it be a re-engined Crosley ?

The mascot looks like Buick, but the mascot base has a red circle that it seems like Bantam logo. The wings logo in the front reminds me the Austin brand. Just guessing

The chrome "fin" on the "trunk/boot" says "Scorpion" in a hard-to-read font.  The original poster on the kit car blog indicated it was a Corvette.  Did you try contacting him?  (In spite of the image being from 2007).
Thanks, I found this car on the YouTube.
This is a Scorpion V8 kitcar from USA -

Wow wow!
This is a real wild beast beauty.
Do you have clear photo of it and more information , like year and base (l guess Fiero ?)
Thanks a lot !

Yesterday my daughter sent me a picture from Bari in Italy showing two cars in a small garage. (Some paternal influence in education must have been right  ;D) At first sight the front car looks like a Lotus Seven, but I rather think it might be an Austin Seven special or something alike. Neither can I identify the car behind it. An Italian etceterini?

Who can help?

The front car does look very like a Lotus Seven, whatever the badging.. And it's RHD.
The car behind it looks rather like a Rochdale GT to me:

Thanks a lot. The rear car certainly is a Rochdale GT. I found a picture of the very car online (notice the number on the door).

Ergo: not all small red cars in Italy are Etceterini.  ;D

I'm fairly sure the silver car is an Austin 7 Speedex Special. They seem to have been built with various different rear bodywork.

Hello everyone,
a friend of mine found this car in a 1976 magazine. According to him it is electric and from Taiwan. We have no idea what it is called. Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks in advance!

This photo is the subject of much debate on another forum. I show an enlarged section of a bigger image of parked cars in an English market town.

Many have suggested a Lancia Aurelia\ but I doubt it. Not a Vanguard or a Pobeda. Any ideas?
