From the engine bay..........

Ok, perhaps we can see how random and obscure we can get. But first, here is a relatively easy one.

1. What's the engine ? (extra points for historical facts)
2. What's the car ?... Make, model and approx year range.



This car was mine for a few weeks..... but was too big for the garage, and rotten to the core.... sold for peanuts...

Rover P6 V8 ?

10/10 to Pete P

That was a little short lived. I'll have to think of another one.

7 minutes!

It's a long wait for the next one though...

And no quoting to look at the url!!!

Ford escort?

I think Datsun for some reason? Model I have no idea

Ford Cortina 2.0 Pinto with twin 40's

........... scrap that guess, it's a 1973 Ford RS2000 Escort k1 Rally Race car.

Obvious when you know where to look

Ok sleuths

Here's another. Looking at the URL will not help you this time !



another on the way shortly !

I didn't look at the url last time.

Porsche?

sorry Mr Magoo, I wasn't saying you did. Some other people did use their web skills to their advantage though

Anyway, Nope, try again.

PS, I'll accept hints and clues.... e.g. is it rear engined... yes.
Oh and it's 1980s era

But also went back in time.

Alan !!!!

That's a bit more than a hint...

It's still easy to cheat if you know how... it's a DeLorean.

Ok well done To GrahamL and ARM !!

A DeLorean featured on Wheeler Dealers the other day (a repeat) and they got £20k for it. A £6 profit.

So, here is the next one. I would love to have it in my collection (noting that my collection is just in my imagination). We had one in the late 1970's, but not quite as good as this one.

Saab 99 Turbo. I'll stop now since I'm cheating.

You mean "search Google for image"

Could I request more Gentlemanly behaviour from now on M'Colleagues?

These two, I very nearly got instead of the Coupe...

1.


2.

That last one - one of the Smart variants?

Is one of them a Jag?

Well I thought E Type but Toby's not *that* rich (is he?) and anyway engine is too small, it's a Caterham with some horrid engine using SU carb's?

2. A Mazda, with some extra bling. You trying to cheat now?

Ok, hint time. On the right track with Jag but as you say, it's not in my price range. Think poor man's Jag....

Second one. ARM is on the right lines. It's a V6.... Second bank is hidden behind.

Ah, good call. I was thinking posh Spitfire...

Getting warmer Jim....

Bottom one is a VR6 engine is it not?

Afraid not. Have a look at ARMs post... But Tis a V6
