Saturday Night Car Quiz - Answers!

[carlo]

I know a lot of you are saying "How come it's so long since we've seen one of Carlo's Car Quizzes".  Well, worry no more; it's Saturday, your teams's just lost so have a go at these.  There's a lot of clever buggers out there in Autoshite land so have had to make a few quite tricky, and all may not be what it seems.

 

First one to get all right wins nothing in particular, but you do know your obscure cars.

 

Car 1

 

 

Car 2

 

 

Car 3

 

 

Car 4

 

 

Car 5

 

 

Car 6

 

 

Car 7

 

 

Car 8

 

 

Car 9

 

 

Car 10

 

 

 

[RedSparrow]

I think 9 is a Wartburg prototype?

[phil_lihp]

Is 2 a Bordward Isabella?

[warren t claim]

I got the Borgward and Dacia.

[gary_davidson]

no5 is a dacia 1300

[DVee8]

Is 9 a Volvo 340prototype

[Novanick1]

Number 5 is a Dacia 1300 and car 2 is Bordward Isabella i think 

[Inspector Morose]

Car 2 Borgward P100. Air suspension FTW!

[Wilko220]

Borgward and Dacia aside...

 

Car 7 is a Honda 1300 coupe

 

Car 10 is an Iso Rivolta of some type, I think.

 

Good quiz - I'll be interested to see all the answers.

[carlo]

Answers tomorrow folks.  Already some good shouts

[DSdriver]

No1 is the most beautiful Porche ever

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Agree with the Beutler 356,P100,Honda,Wartburg and ISO (john Lennon's actual Fidia)

Could number 5 be a trick? Dacia seems a bit obvious.

Based on the wheels and background No.4 must be a S.American Type 3, and again based on the wheels is No.6 some sort of coachbuilt Fiat 2300S?

 

Now off to waste an evening googling obscure cars!

[carlo]

I think you're collectively going to get most of these but if anyone gets car number 3 I'll be really impressed

4. VW do Brasil 1600

6/10

[NorfolkNWeigh]

No 3 is pissing me off now! Definitely a whiff of garlic ,those wheel trims look Renaultish,but any combination of Alpine,Matra or Gordini and prototype,one off or coachbuilt throw up nothing.

 

The bumper treatment reminds me a bit of Panhard ,but again nothing, just off to google Simcas...

Is that a 'pass'?

[inconsistant]

Car 3 has got a feint whiff of E type jag about it... especially the rear windows and headlights/bumpers.

 

 

Edit: Oh wow, I found it on google images, I would never have guessed it was a...

[vulgalour]

I thought car 3 might be a Rochdale of some description, the cabin puts me in mind of an Olympic and it has a sort of 60s fibreglass shape about it.

[carlo]

Sorry I missed this. Can I register my place for next week?

[Partridge]

hang on. Register my place, is that the correct wordology? Ah who cares, it's Autoshite.

[NorfolkNWeigh]

I knew it was sushi not garlic I got a whiff of! Just forgot about the existence of Prince entirely,although my knowledge of weird prototype Daihatsu and Isuzu coupes is encyclopaedic now,thanks.
