Wel, it's a 6, so either a GT6 or a TR6?

GT6 I would say Jim. the engine is virtually exposed with the bonnet up.

Yup, that would be my guess too. Not really familiar with the TR to be honest.

Spent many hours perching on the front wheel of a Spitfire, trying to balance the twin SU's...

About the only car I know with a bigger bonnet than the coupe!

Another trophy for PeteP there. It is indeed a Triumph GT6. The Coupe version of the Spitfire with the nice grunty straight six. Came close to getting one after the club chairman took me out in his concours one. Stunning. Still, you were talking £4k for a dog eared one, and you could get a nice Fiat Coupé for that...

So, any more guesses for number 2 ?

Don't I get 1/2 point?! Was that the TSSC, Gripped? Was a member for a good few years!

You can have a 1/2 point Jim.

Yes it was TSSC. I was a member for a year while I tried to decide what car to get. The club put me in contact with the guy with a Concours GT6. It is the one pictured. He said it was worth £10,000. But that was in 2005ish.

It was a lovely car and it sounded more like a V8 than a 6. But it was extremely agricultural compared to modern cars. The suspension was somewhat rudimentary!!

In the end, the reliability and low price of the Coupe swung it.

Still points to be gained for picture 2. It is a Mazda.... but what...?

Pic 2 - I would guess at a 6 cylinder 323 or Mazda's Ford Probe, Coupe equivalent?

And the Gloucestershire Shield Trophy goes Brilly - well done Mark ! I think ARMs name has also been engraved on the trophy for his correct identification of Mazda.

Mazda 323F 2 litre V6. Not the obvious choice for a classic Coupe, but it was on my list as it had the all important V6 sound. Luckily, the 5 cylinder sounds good in its own way. The Ford probe was never a car I could fall in love with though.

Back in the 1990's there were a few magazine articles about Coupe comparisons as mentioned - like the Peugeot 406 Coupe, the 200SX, Corrado, Probe etc...made interesting reading at the time, especially as the Fiat came out rather well.

See you later, when I shall dig out some more exotica for your delectation and confusion.

Ok carb sniffers, here are a couple more.

Please no google image searching..

1. Cryptic clue. Crazy horse visits Brum to make zed tea.



2. This should be easier....

First one looks like a 4.2 Range Rover, second one Rover Tomcat?

I'm haven't cheating either

Well Joe, you are on the right lines with the first one, but have a look at the cryptic clue...

Second one - count the manifold headers.....

Rover 75 V8 (260 ZT) maybe?

Trophy to Cooperman.

That leaves the second one up for grabs.

I'm thinking Volvo...

Nice one Neil. And it's a special Volvo, in my book at least. Care to identify model and type?

850 T5R Great car

How about this one (that I've just put a deposit down on)...

I've obscured the name otherwise too much of a give away. Points for car, engine type and year.



better view

Well done Patch. A bottle of Blue Nun on it's way.

Is it a V6 or a 3 cylinder?

Neither I'm afraid... But it's a v something and it's oddly canted at an angle.

Saab v twin?

I was thinking Saab too.

V 4 then !!

That's what i thought, a saab v4 saw loads at a Saab show at Wicksteeds park last year

Lancia Fulvia V4

Correct - lancia fulvia v4 1966. Bottle of black tower on its way.

Yay!

Here's another one...

No idea, but look at that CHOD!

Indeed! But at least it doesn't disappear down behind the engine block, I suppose...

Is that your Jenson?

That's what I was going to say. Interceptor! A bit of a cheat cos I know he's got one.
