[Wilko220]

Land Rover Defender (as in, er, Craig Dawson?)

Same event, different competitors.

 

 

 

Edited to add: retaliation/thanks for Hillman Imp's brilliant pun above.

i was wondering when spot the difference became an olympic sport

[Hertz]

Citroen Relay

 

[vulgalour]

 

What do you mean "that isn't an Olympic sport"?

 

Just found out about this car, the Opel Olympia.

[blguy1975]

 

Allegro Sport TC

[Wilko220]

That's cheating a little bit, really...

Why thank you very much. I have to say, yours was jolly good too.

Just found out about this car, the Opel Olympia.

Continuing the Opel theme, I wonder if any Rekords will be broken this year?

BMW 320d since this is the car we're supposed to associate with the 'lympics, the green solution of chauffering everybody around instead of using probably the world's most integrated and convenient public transport network. Although on the plus side I think the dignitaries are going with the only true green solution of "don't travel":

 

[HillmanImp]

NSU Sport-Prinz

 

 

Nissan Laurel Medalist

 

 

Sunbeam Rapier (Fencing? - Too tenuous?)

 

[DSdriver]

 

Not forgetting the Plymouth Roadrunner (beep beep)

[Albert Ross]

Might be a bit off target, but this.

Warszawa M20 in a large building = Pole Vault.

[vulgalour]

Let's see if you can guess this one. Two pictures, same event.

 

 

I'm still stumped on this because I can't figure out who the redhead is.
