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

[RemyKock]

OOOH YEAH! When I first saw the 1974 movie Gone in 60 Seconds, this car was on the list to be stolen. I thought it looked sooo damn cool

@Beeblebrox: Yes, maybe its because when someone gives his/hers turn away, nobody wants to post a new one, because they can't score any points. I think a lot of our fellow players go to this thread, click on last page and see if there is a new picture or not, if not, they just go away... So, how do we keep this thread rolling?

 

[Beeblebrox237]

I don't know. I'd post lots of pictures like you've done, but that's difficult from a mobile device. The best thing I can think of is to put something in the OP requesting that people post when it's their turn.

Also, I knew I had seen that car before! Great film 👍

Yup, I recognised it from Gone in 60 Seconds too. Had to google what it was called though, then took about 5 minutes to find the original picture to be sure.

And, sorry to say this, but someone else can do my go if they want, I'm at work and can't do it until I get home later. If nothing's posted Ill stick one up later.

I'm not sure it's about points (surely not? Come on people!) but a bit of apathy, people either can't be bothered to post a pic, or don't know how to, or a little of both. Some folks seem happy for others to line up the pics for them to guess, which seems a little lazy and selfish to me.

Anyway we can invoke the 12 hour rule here, I for one will kickstart the thread when I can, as I think it's a fun thread

 

[MatskiMonk]

Okay so I had a quick skive at work and put this together. Just in the name of keeping the thread going though, not because I'm procrastinating....

 

[axletramp]

Mercedes 500 SEL?

 

[MatskiMonk]

Mercedes 500 SEL?

Nope.

Sounds good to me, if there are certain people who'll kickstart it when needed, for example Tyger and me, maybe the thread will keep rolling!

Mercedes 500 SEC?

 

[MatskiMonk]

Mercedes 500 SEC?

Nope.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Rolls Royce Silver Spur?
Bentley Mulsanne?

 

[MatskiMonk]

Rolls Royce Silver Spur?
Bentley Mulsanne?

Nope, neither of these two. The first two guesses were closer.

 

[Fazerfan]

Mercedes Benz 190e?

 

[MatskiMonk]

Mercedes 500 SEL?

Mercedes 500 SEC?

Mercedes Benz 190e?

Not a 190E but is a Mercedes

 

[Tyger]

It looks like a 70s/early 80s Mercedes 300 to me but how specific do you want? There were many specs, trim levels, diesels etc. 300SEL?

EDIT: My second guess is a 450SEL

I wondered this myself... I'd go with a chassis code (y'know the W, C, A numbers).. or the exact model of the car in the photo.
edit: displacement doesn't need to be right I guess

You are close, but it is not a 300SD

edit:

450SEL

Tis not an SEL or a 450

Sorry didn't see your first edit, it's not a 300SEL!

 

[Tyger]

Ah someone else can guess rather than me batting back guesses & eliminating

 

[RocZX]

Mercedes-Benz W108/W114

 

[MatskiMonk]

Lol,.. It's not really a common model from what I know... but you guessed the era and the model is Einspritzung'd (ie. Fuel Injected).

Mercedes-Benz W108/W114

Nein.

 

[Tyger]

380SEC or 380SEL?

 

[MatskiMonk]

380SEC or 380SEL?

It's not an S-class, in either Coupe or Limo form

 

[RemyKock]

Is it some sort of long wheelbase W123?

 

[MatskiMonk]

Is it some sort of long wheelbase W123?

Close!! Not a long wheel base '123... but it's a '123

 

[Tyger]

280e?

 

[MatskiMonk]

SO CLOSE... Ha Ha, you seem to be guessing every model but the one that's the right body style!

 

[Tyger]

250e then

 

[MatskiMonk]

250e then

No it's a 280, but you need to get the body style, I've edited my last post because I realise what I said didn't make sense.

 

[Swara]

280se?

 

[Tyger]

280CE and that's my last guess!

 

[MatskiMonk]

280se?

..... is not S....

280CE and that's my last guess!

We have a winner!!!!

I didn't realise when I picked it how complex older Merc designations were!
