A shed full of non-shite

[STUNO]

I just happened on this ad for a 1923 Itala.

But check out the cars in the background

Is that a Tatra? what is the red one? Is that a Goliath?

See what you put a name to.

This chap must be a serious collector and smart enough to put a good Prince away.

OK, wild guess time except for the large black vintage car with 'Hispano Suiza' in script across the radiator; I think that gives the game away. The red coupe looks Italian, the only thing I can think of that would fit would be a Fiat 8V. The green French Van looks like a 1930s Renault. The large flat blue car might just be an Iso Lele, although the bonnet looks more Lamborghini Espada.*

 

* The fact that I can tell the difference between an Iso Lele bonnet and a Lamborghini Espada one is probably the reason why I have nothing better to do on a Saturday night than log onto Autoshite.

Yeah, it's an Iso, the headlight covers are wrong for an Espada. I think the big cream thing might be a Chevy 11, the first-generation Nova.

[dollywobbler]

No, it's not an Iso. I reckon it's a Lamborghini Jarama. I thought they all had clap-hand wipers, but Google-fu tells me they didn't, like that blue one.

 

There's definitely a black Tatra in there. Could be T87 or the smaller one. I'm no expert on those.

 

That red coupe has got me properly confuddled. Don't think it's a Fiat 8V. The vents in front of the rear wheels suggest it's rear engined. They don't look like they're there for decoration.

[eddyramrod]

Jarama, yes; score one for Ian there!

[Albert Ross]

The mystery coupe could well be one of these. I saw the wheels and thought ..... Lancia Aurelia. This is a 1953 Pininfarina

 

The details on the front of the wings, and the chrome grille are also there.... the original pic of the red one shows an "A" on the badge too!

[Albert Ross]

And here we go!!

Runt 1953-54 experimenterade Pininfarian friskt med ett nytt grepp, många av deras specialare fick det runda öppna "fiskgapet" i fronten , så även några Aurelias, dessa kallades "Pf200". Den röda på B52-chassi visades 1953.

 

That might explain something.....

Tis a Prince Gloria from the late 60's . IMHO a copy of the then current Mercedes

There is some serious collectors stuff in that garage, the Pinin Lancia must be a very rare car!

[dollywobbler]

Wow. Top work Albert!

[eddyramrod]

Oh dear, two blown IDs! I must be ill...

Whatever it was I think that I've caught it too; 0 out of 2

 

Anyway, top spotting Messrs Wobbler and Ross, they were both pretty obscure

[STUNO]

I agree all. Top work Albert, I thought I had seen that front end somewhere but had no idea what it was.

Now what is the 50's? saloon in front of the Itala, you can just about make out the dashboard on one of the pics. I will guess French and that is me out !

Eddyramrod you just might regain your crown.

[Albert Ross]

See, I was thinking Hillman Minky with the stubby bootlid until I saw the rear lights were roundish and higher up. Skoda Octavia? DKW? Not a Rover P4 either..... Maybe Holden? Ford Aus?
