Guess That Car V3 (Rules and leaderboard on first post)

[FordMKIVJ5]

Porsche 904?

 

[Tyger]

Nerp, love love that car though

 

[Stiggy]

Melkus RS1000?

 

[Tyger]

Also no but also what a cool car! Had never heard of that.

The styling is also very similar, as well as the ethos in some ways.

 

[lldantell]

Jaguar e type

 

[Tyger]

Nope

 

[Stiggy]

Matra/René Bonnet Djet?

 

[RemyKock]

I think Stiggy is right, but the rear (which looks like a Stepdown to me) is throwing me off...
DB Panhard HBR5
Sera Panhard

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

The car has a sloping front, similar to a Jag E-Type, but that's not the car.....

I'm guessing maybe a Aston DB5 or DB6.

 

[Tyger]

More nopes, sorry!

Hints soon, but I only posted the pic last night.

 

[axletramp]

Marcos 1800 GT?

 

[Tyger]

Not a Marcos. Check my original post for a hint of sorts (though that could be a little misleading!)

 

[axletramp]

SAAb Sonett II?

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

ATS 2500 GT?
Abarth OT?

 

[Tyger]

Nope. It's European though, but the engine was from another part of Europe.

 

[theotherspongey]

Is it an Alfa Romeo?

 

[Tyger]

No

 

[starorzecze]

Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada?

Edit: Ouch, the engine was not European, so it can't be it.

 

[Tyger]

No. Nice avatar though (cue jazz hands)

Engine was from a popular British family car, not overly powerful.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Ferrari 246 Dino?

 

[wrapture]

It looks like a Ferrari but Ferrari isn't British. Can you give us the manufacturer unless that would give away the car?

 

[Jet Badger]

An Argyll maybe? My other guess would be Ginetta G33

 

[axletramp]

Ashley Sprite or 1172?

 

[Tyger]

The car itself was Italian, but used the powerplant from a British family car of the era.

Look for a hint in my posts, think outside the box

 

[axletramp]

Ats 2500?

EDIT: Probably not as it has an Italian engine, but it looks right.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Ats 2500?

EDIT: Probably not as it has an Italian engine, but it looks right.

Here:

ATS 2500 GT?
Abarth OT?

Nope. It's European though, but the engine was from another part of Europe.

 

[axletramp]

Ah poo.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

De Tomaso Vallelunga?

It has a Ford Kent engine .

 

[Tyger]

De Tomaso Vallelunga?

It has a Ford Kent engine .

Yup a Cortina engine effectively.

You win sir. Did you notice the hint in all of my posts too?

Honestly, I didn't. It's just I know that a version of the Kent engine was used to power a De Tomaso (I went through a phase of loving old british Fords). 👍


Someone else may go.
