Name that car

[Tusker]

It is a Buchanan body but the chassis it is on is anyone's guess. Originally made and promoted to rebody T series MG's but got fitted to many others. The wheels say TD or TF.

Spot on, this one is TD

[VladTepes]

Known as the Buchanan MG Special.

In case you have the arvo free, here's how to whip one up !

Yep

If the allies lost that could have been a production model.

So here's another...

So here's another...

Wheels are Renault 8 or 10 ...

Stephen.

[VladTepes]

Hmm my first thought was the Chevrolet XP-882 1970
but I figure

1. It's not that.
2. Concept cars are a bit hard. (however you might be mean! )

[Hoges]

while the black car beside it looks like a Ford Prefect...ummm it has a vague resemblance to a Ford Zephyr...

oooops wrong page :wasntme:

You were supposed to fall into the obvious trap !

Here's a precis


Monteverdi Hai (1970): Built to take on the Lamborghini Miura, the Swiss-built Hai was a complete brute of a car with its mid-mounted 7-litre Chrysler V8 that protruded well into the cabin. Production numbers are unknown; two is assumed.

I'm beaten on this one :mad:

[101RRS]

Ferrari 400 something

[jerryd]

I think that's a 1985 Bitter SC, looked like a ferrari but had lots of Opel bits (german holden)


Here's something a little easier on the mind and the eye ;)

But we need the make and the correct name please :D

[Nera Donna]

I’ll have a stab in the dark and say it’s a Fiat. The front end resembles the old X19 coup

I bet it is an expensive model to maintain.

aside from the Lancia that has noting to do with cars - let's get back on track !

The Bitter was a 1981 mode buty yes thats what it is.

Have a stab at this:

[101RRS]

Some sort of modified Lotus Elan.

[VladTepes]

on the right track.. maybe someone who originally restored and tuned them, deecided to build his own version years after the original....

need more info people.

[dmdigital]

Lotus Elan reworked by Spyder perhaps?

[101RRS]

Give this one a go

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[Tusker]

The Elan lookalike is bugging me, I've seen it but can't place it.

The B&W pic, no idea. But it looks Ozzie, at least the wheels look very ROH early 70s.

[jerryd]

Would it be one of those "Evante" cars with a Vegantune engine known as a "Vegantune Evante 140".

Almost as good as a TVR :angel:

[Rosscoe68]

i would say some sort of holden prototype pr concept car
for some reason i keep thinking of a torana concept that was around, but can't find info

scratches head

[langy]

You're thinking of the GTR-X

[101RRS]

Give this one a go

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e334/gazzz21/gvangmain.jpg

A clue - this is at the Sydney or Melbourne Motor shows in the 70s, they are ROH wheels, there was only one built and the body now lives in the Blue Mountains and it runs on water - sort of.

[VladTepes]

Would it be one of those "Evante" cars with a Vegantune engine known as a "Vegantune Evante 140".


It would !
Well done.

"Vegantune" :lol: sounds like some hippie tuning company.

[VladTepes]

It's not a GTR-X thats for sure.
Nor is it a Bolwell, or a Purvis or any of the other apprently too obvious ones that first spring to mind.
It's not even a Hurricane.

The exterior of this one looks good but the inside is uglier than a $2 whore.

Tough one - may need more clues !

[101RRS]

Oh come on - any teenager in the 70s who was interested in cars would have know about this car - very famous at the time but like many brilliant ideas came to nothing - threatened the oil industry at a time when oil prices sky rocketed - and it was Australian.

The innovative part of this car is not the car itself but its engine.

Quote:
Steam

There is no immediate prospect of steam power making a come back on the road; steam is not the victim of a conspiracy theory, the thermodynamics are just not right. The most recent Australian link with automotive steam seems to be the various experimental Pritchard steam cars built during the 1960s and 1970s, and the :D:D:D prototype of 1972 .

[101RRS]

Ok - it is the Gvang Steam Car - a major piece of Australian Motoring History

I saw this car at the Motor Show and was in awe.

Took a while but it eventually came to me. It is a B.A.T. An aerodynamic exercise/concept car by either Bertone or Boano, can' remember which. There were two or three of themm looked much alike but different.

[jerryd]

Well done Brian, I thought nobody was going to have a bash at it ;)

A bit of an experiment by Alfa Romeo.


How about this one ??? Not even sure if I can remember though :confused:

But as to your pic, I have to say your taste in cars is, err, questionable...:wasntme:

[Bigbjorn]

Bugatti Type 57 Atlante. One sold for 3 1/4 million pounds not long ago. Its provenance was well known and it had been in storage for 50 years so was complete and original. Many Bugatti are fakes or bitzers. If considering buying one then it would be prudent to regard the car as a fake until positively proven otherwise. At one Historic event in Europe or UK three Bugatti turned up with the same chassis number. Of course, all three owners claimed theirs was correct.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

should've bought that one Brian--:p


Video: This is what $38 million sounds like

1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic – Click above for high-res image gallery

Want to know what $38 million sounds like? Well you're not likely to find out. That's the reported value of the highly coveted 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/05/1936-bugatti-type-57sc-atlantic-sells-for-a-record-30-million/) recently sold by Gooding & Company from the Peter Williamson collection. But while we got a rare chance to stop by the Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, California, for an up-close-and-personal (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/10/autoblog-visits-the-1936-bugatti-type-57sc-atlantic-at-the-mulli/) between the world's most valuable car and our own Drew Philips, actually seeing it start up and drive would be a rare sight indeed.

Fortunately, onlookers had the chance when the Bugatti came down to the Pasadena Art Center Car Classic and fired up its 3.2-liter straight-eight – lest we forget that this is an actual functioning automobile, and not a stationary sculpture consigned to a pedestal. What's more is that he caught it on camera in a pair of videos after the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/09/video-this-is-what-38-million-sounds-like/#continued).

Not quite, but close enough...

Brooke ME (1994): Looking like the Light Car Company's Rocket, but with two seats abreast rather than in tandem, the ME190 arrived 16 years ago and is still in production. Ford or Vauxhall engines are offered, giving up to 360bhp/ton.

[jerryd]

A fairly easy one that has been on my wish list for a number of years :)

Make , Year , Model ............. and a bonus point for the plane ;)

[VladTepes]

Yeah
Citroen M35 (1969): Citroen never used to shy away from the unconventional, and the M35 was as unconventional as they came, with its Wankel engine. But even Citroen could see this wasn't the future and pulled the plug with 267 built.

[VladTepes]

jerryd do I get a bonus point if I say its a de Havilland 82A Tiger Moth ?

Oh the car is a 1934 Riley MPH

[jerryd]

No Vlad you don't, your very close though, in fact you very nearly got it

..... moth ;)

[Tusker]

1936 MPH. The ex Hawthorn car.

[101RRS]

That is a SS 100 (Jaguar) made by SS Cars before the company changed its name to Jaguar.

The car was made sometime between 1936 to 1941

[jerryd]

Your right this time Vlad, I think you must have "edited" your post :confused:

A lovely little Riley 15/6 MPH ;) often referred to as the BMW of the '30's

[jerryd]

That is a SS 100 (Jaguar) made by SS Cars before the company changed its name to Jaguar.

The car was made sometime between 1936 to 1941

Definitely got that famous Riley Grill which was the easy clue, the tiger moth was to help throw you off the scent ;)

[101RRS]

A rare beauty

[awabbit6]

That's the magnificent Jaguar XJ-13.
There was a very nice replica at the Murwillumbah Festival of Speed this year.

[101RRS]

Correct - had the great one off DOHC V12 that many have said should have also gone into mainstream jag sports cars instead of the one that ended up in them.

[Tusker]

It's a magnificent car in the flesh.

Story goes that with the Leyland politics of the day, the Jag engineers designed a narrow engine bay in the XJ series to make sure the Rover V8 couldn't be shoehorned in.

So there's no way a DOHC V12 would fit :(

Regards
Max P

[101RRS]

I hadn't heard that before. The engine was a race car engine with poor torque characteristics for a road car. Certainly the Rover V8 would fit into an XJ if required.

Interestingly XJ32 twin cam heads can be made to fit on the current V12 (with a lot of mucking around) and the engine is a gem - much better than the XJ13 engine.

Garry

[Tusker]

About the time of the Rover SD1, the Jags of that era had the narrow engine bay. I'll have to flip through my Rover books to pin it down.

On reflection, the Rover V8 would fit the earlier XJ6s & XJ12s - there's certainly enough small block conversions running around isnt there.

Regards
Max P

[101RRS]

The V12s with outboard carbies or EFI Pleniums etc are wider than the Rover V8 and the V12s were fitted to the XJs from the start right through to the XJ 40. The XJ40 had the V12 squeezed in later so you may be thinking of the XJ 40 - when it was designed there was no intention to put the V12 in it so was designed just for the 6 - however the series 3 V12 continued on with the XJ40 as demand was still there so Jaguar decided to squeeze the V12 in the XJ40.

I have even seen a Mk2 fitted with a V12 but then that engine bay was designed to take the Daimler V8 (would be a nice engine in a series landy I think).

[VladTepes]

jerryd yes i edited my post - very shortly after making it probably just after you hit reply !

What a gorgeous Jag - looks far ahead of its time. If I had the money I;d buy a car that looked liek that today !

[jerryd]

Certainly is nice, thought to be worth 14.5 million british pounds :eek: It also held a speed record for more than 30 years.

It was written off at some point after a wheel collapsed and then rebuilt many years later. Here's a clip of it in action ;)

YouTube - Jaguar XJ13

[solmanic]

This is a much better way of doing it!

I'm guessing something from the late 80s with that sharp front profile. Can't be American because it has no horrible front bumper. I agree with the mid-engine assessment. Is it a car that was in regular production?

This is a much better way of doing it!

I'm guessing something from the late 80s with that sharp front profile. Can't be American because it has no horrible front bumper. I agree with the mid-engine assessment. Is it a car that was in regular production?


Ok so some sources say late 80s some late 90s, take your pick.
Definitely not American.
Probably a one-off. Makes it a bit difficult I agree.

Half the info on the internet disgrees with the other half (like most thigs I suppose! )

If no one get it opr has a decent guess oon I sall post a pic of teh whole car but tha WILL give it away.

I have never before seen or heard of a Zender Fact4 Biturbo. What is it? One of those Swiss one-offs or few-offs that never really got into production?

[VladTepes]

I think Zender is atuning company and built this as a marketing excercise. I admit it was obscure, but wa too good to pass up !

Personally I would have picked it for an F40 era ferrari as well !

The only photograph I have of a D type was taken a couple of years ago at Victor Harbour and the "knock on" hubs seem to be different, but perhaps there were different models!

I do agree about the wheels being used by Jag but that rear guard looks the wrong shape for a D or E type. More MG Aish in my mind.

4. MGA Twin Cam
5. MGA Deluxe.

It's the MGA Twin Cam I've got. 10.75" discs all round, unassisted. All the part numbers are Jag stuff.

Only the D type & XKSS had 3 eared knockoffs so far as I know, the MGs certainly have 2 eared.

Well I couldn't show the front view straight up as it clearly says what it is and even the bonnet lines from the side would give it away - but you were pretty close, its an 09

[Bigbjorn]

The name written on the bonnet was certainly a give away. The bonnet shape and bulkhead radiator were used by a number of makes in the veteran years. Renault, de Dion Bouton, Panhard et Levassor were a few. Even trucks used the shape, Mack Bulldog and International come to mind..

Bingo! got it in one. The Aston Martin Bulldog, produced by Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd in 1979. The code name for the project was DPK9, named after a Doctor Who character. It was built in Aston Martin Newport Pagnell factory in the UK, but is a left-hand-drive car. The Bulldog is powered by a 5.3L twin-turbo V8 delivering 700 bhp (522 kW). The Bulldog achieved a verified top speed of 191 mph (307 km/h), but the theoretical top speed is estimated at 237 mph (381 km/h). The car was officially launched on March 27, 1980 at the Bell Hotel at Aston Clinton. Aston Martin sold the only Bulldog to the highest bidder for about £130,000 and is now reported to be back on the market.

Mazda 787B visits Le Mans 20 years after its historic victory

1991 Mazda 787B at Le Mans – Click above to watch the videos after the break (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/16/mazda-787b-visits-le-mans-20-years-after-its-historic-victory/#continued)

In 1991, the Mazda 787B made history at the 24 Hours of Le Mans by becoming the first Japanese-built machine to win the race. In addition, the 787B was the first (and continues to be the only) rotary-powered race car to achieve the feat. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the historic victory, Mazda restored the winning car (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/05/20/mazda-787b-restored-returning-to-le-mans-for-20th-anniversary-o/) and announced it would be bringing it to France for this year's 24-hour race.

Of course, Mazda had the cameras rolling to document the event, and has published several videos of the 787B at Circuit de la Sarthe. Our favorite is a lap with Jonny Herbert behind the wheel, the man who crossed the checkered flag before anyone else in this very car 20 years ago. You can also watch Patrick Dempsey talk about and drive the car, as well as see an overview of the car's 20th anniversary celebration.

Follow the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/15/mazda-787b-visits-le-mans-20-years-after-its-historic-victory/#continued) to see the videos. Or rather, considering that the 787B may be the single most awesome-sounding race car ever conceived, follow the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/16/mazda-787b-visits-le-mans-20-years-after-its-historic-victory/#continued) to hear the videos.

It's been a while since anyone posed here, try a written format instead of a picture.

Work on the first XYZ car had been started in 1895, significantly designed from first principles as a car, not a horseless carriage, and it ran on the public roads in February or March 1896.[3] It had a single cylinder 1306 cc engine with the piston having two connecting rods to separate crankshafts and flywheels rotating in opposite directions giving very smooth running. A two-cylinder engine was fitted to the same chassis in 1897 and a second complete car was built alongside it. This led on to the first production cars in 1900, when six were made as demonstrators.[3] These had two-cylinder, 4033 cc, horizontal air-cooled engines, retaining the twin crankshaft design. Steering was by side lever not wheel. The gearbox used epicyclic gearing. The first cars were sold to the public in 1901
