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

[axletramp]

Austin Princess?

 

[Clark]

I wouldn't be that obvious

 

[axletramp]

Talbot Tagora?

 

[Clark]

Nein.

 

[poolhaas]

Peugeot 505?

 

[Clark]

Nope.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Audi 80 or Audi 100?

 

[Clark]

It's British.

 

[Zyla]

Ford Escort?

 

[Clark]

Nope, somebody has already guessed the correct make but said the wrong model.

 

[Tyger]

Austin Ambassador then (Princess Mk 2!)

 

[Clark]

Austin Ambassador then (Princess Mk 2!)

Correcto!

 

[Tyger]

Ah the Princess and Ambassador were/are much derided but I have fond memories of my brother's first car, a maroon Princess, comfy car even though it did have the turning circle of a 747.

 

[Clark]

Daimler SP250?

 

[Tyger]

Nopes

 

[axletramp]

Marcos 1800?

 

[Tyger]

No

 

[Zyla]

Triumph?

 

[Tyger]

Nope not a Triumph

Clue 1: It's actually a relatively modern car, ceased production quite recently.

 

[axletramp]

Jensen SV8?

 

[Tyger]

No but you guys are in the right neck of the woods. Manufacturer not mentioned yet. I didn't realise this car existed, not that that's any help

 

[RDF97]

Eagle Speedster?

 

[axletramp]

AC Ace (2000 model)?

 

[Tyger]

Nope.

Another clue: The name of this car was mentioned by Jeremy Clarkson in an old Top Gear review of another car he was hooning around Dunsfold, which happened to be very heavy, but very luxurious.

 

[RDF97]

Aston Martin?

 

[GT Pro]

Nope.

Was he reviewing the Phaeton?

 

[Tyger]

No he was testing a Bentley, though in fairness the name of this car he mentioned in another context may be a little lost on non-UK readers so another clue:

US-sourced engine, model may have been overlooked somewhat due to another more exotic and fast model the company produced towards the end of this car's production run.

 

[RDF97]

Aston Martin DB7 Volante?

 

[Slash]

AC Bristol convertible?

 

[Tyger]

Nope. This company went into liquidation a year or two ago but are now "back", bought up by a company who also use the name of another historic marque.
