The quiz thread: What Car Is This?

[BobbyV]

Not directly but yes, got something to do with Germans, not from Germany though...:) but then again, it has something common with Americans too, not from US though....:D...confused enough? If not, I could go on :nuts:

[hpluls]

Then maybe an Opel?

[Cakeflour]

Then maybe an Opel?

 

That's what I first thought too, but I couldn't find a opel that look enough like the car in the pic. :confused:

[BobbyV]

uh, maybe I mislead u a bit with Germans. Well the company that made it had connections to a German and American companies, but this particular model is based on one US model...

[Cakeflour]

I'm so confused. *rocks back and forth in corner*

 

Lol

[BobbyV]

I believe u. I'm confused as well :rofl:

to make it clear: An non US/non German company used to make sports cars based on American and German import cars. This one is based on one US model. The company doesn't exist anymore.

I'm tired next clue will be tomorrow :cheeky:

Oh for gods sake Bobby! Un-confuse us!

Didn't I? :D:snack:

What do you mean "touring car"? Like, it was used in racing? :confused:

[Car Freak]

Looks like a cross between a '70 Chevelle and a 240Z... :eek:

er....something like that...apparently it was GrandTourer/Turismo car. Most likely used for racing, and finally, had GT suffix after its name :cheeky: (that was another hint, btw :D)

[Andreas¹]

Google really sets me off sometimes :cheeky:

[BobbyV]

wow I'd never thought this would be so hard....

next hint...it was based on Chevy Opala

[Loz]

Looks alot like a Chevy Nova/II.

[t.]

Looks like a Datsun 240Z with big tyres. It's not but thats what it looks like XD

Good luck everyone. :)

 

Btw, I blacked out a small part of the pic due to the fact that it gave away the name of the car.

Lol, yeah Car Freak's yourenotsupposedtobelookinghere.jpg gave me the idea. :)

[Baltoman]

 

HAHA!!! FOUND IT!

Blegh, I prefer the Puma GTE... Good to see a brazilian car mentioned on this thread

[hpluls]

Looking at the wheels, it's something from British Leyland (similar rims can be found on Minis)... Looks like a MG Midget?

[YeOldeTDUMan]

Well it's either a Sunbeam Alpine or a Sunbeam Tiger (basically an Alpine with a bigger engine!)

 

And here's a pic of one I took at a classic car show this year and had previous posted on the forum!

 

 

I'm guessing I'm right so I'll post the next car in about 2 hours time

:eek: I thought it would take much longer for someone to guess that it was a Sunbeam Tiger....

 

Well, anyway, Hybrid is correct! Sorry HTF. :)
