Does anyone recognise this one? I am sure this is a car I know, but I just can't figure out what it is. Despite the Panhard, this photograph was taken in the UK, on a rally in the early 1950s.

My Local (Huddersfield) History group has a picture archive which, although full of early vehicles, is lacking any labelling of the cars themselves.
Here's an example, rather nice and obviously coachbuilt, which I cannot identify. Any Clues?


Further to my last reply, by sheer coincidence I have just learned of the Lever Motor Co of Dewsbury which apparently bodied a Sunbeam 16/60 in 'polished aluminium in 1923' - some further quick digging reveals this is the very same car. Johno, if you see this, I'd love to get in touch with the group that has this image as it could be very useful for an article I'm writing at the moment...

Does anybody know who built the electric train for visitors of the Musée National de l'Automobile (ex Schlumpf) in Mulhouse?

This car was on display at the Musée National de l'Automobile in Mulhouse without any explanations. I wasn't able to identify it so far. The only hint, if it is any at all, is the NAM emblem on the dashboard (or is it Neutral Arrête Marche?). Does anyone know more about this one?

Hello everyone! Hope you're alright!


Nothing posted for a long time..

A mystery car featured recently on a famous social network.

The question is: if it's a real car – any ideas which one?
 
Or is it a AI prank?


Note the rust, so apparently not a plastic kit.

I just checked with google image, and the Albar Sonic is different, it's not that in my opinion

It is certainly Albar Sonic related as it combines the headlight arrangement of the closed resp. T-bar roofed Albar Sonic GT with the rear end of the Albar Sonic Roadster (which had ellipsoid headlights as far as I can tell). Maybe it is the Snake Racing Sonic Targa (https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2015-44/solved-wendax-1654-snake-racing-sonic-targa/)?

The Albar Sonic kept on evolving during its production run. Some versions were quite different from the car you saw, but if you mix the front end of this targa version with the rest of the convertible below you end up with something very close.

I wanted this car to be a puzzle, but I found no information about it online.  A nicely designed car with "Renault" on the side.  Probably rear-engined, with a fiberglass body.  It looks like it should have plastic gullwing door-windows.

I have no idea about this one other than that it was photographed in The Netherlands and that the registration dates back to 1961.
But I'd love to know!

it looks a lot like an EB Debonair GT with the top cut off. But it isn't...........
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia
