Another one... pretty sure it is not a real Lotus Seven


Maybe somebody knows the company who did the replica ( i'm pretty sure it is not Caterham either )
The paper says Lotus but there is no Lotus badge

Rear view , in case it helps

Must be a Caterham.

Agree. One of the butch versions like Superlight R400 for folk with more money than sense.

Thanks guys

Yesterday in Malmedy/Belgium:

The plate says Simca.

CG 1300 or similar. Simca-based.

Thanks, dsl!

Not a car, but a scooter, spotted yesterday morning on the visitors parking of the Veterama market in Mannheim:

Time for the usual " What's that thing ? " quiz that follows the car events...



I think i forgot to take a front pic of them, which can make things more...complicated

Are those having a real name or it's just " Backyard-Hobby " style ?


Really blurry purple convertible.... not really worth for pic quality but i did included it to park it in this section as i don't have any idea of what it is...



Any idea ? i tried in both french and english and didn't got any results..



This one... i know it belongs to the Mini universe ( at least it's a start.. ) but as for the possible MY range... and that 1293 cc thing that i couldn't find anywhere...



Thanks to all the contestants... the Grand Prize is a brand new empty box !

First black car is a 1937 Chevrolet, the blue a 1953 Chevrolet Two-Ten, the purple convertible a Canadian 1965 Valiant (rebadged US Dodge Dart).
Funny thing, the 'Duc' neo-classic car has Volvo 160 front indicators on the back.

The Mini is probably a German LAMM conversion, which started as an unofficial local chop and upgrade. Rover then got involved and commissioned 75 RHD cars for UK in 1991, after which LAMM continued chopping them for Germany and elsewhere in Europe. Official RHD cars had a big pram hood - the smoother design here may mean a subsequent conversion after the Rover batch. Cherry Red was a popular LAMM colour, but also possible that someone's done their own LAMM-ish lookalike. See account at http://www.aronline.co.uk/blogs/cars/mini-classic/mini-convertibles/

1293cc is one of the recognised bore-outs of the 1275cc, first invented for Mini racers in the 1970s by BL Special Tuning, then widely adopted by many tuners and widely sold. Never used for normal showroom sales, but parts widely available. Given the extra weight of the chop process and accompanying LAMM bits, it's not surprising that it's been done, but may have been interesting getting it emissions-certified.

Somebody on Flickr left me a message stating that it is a Chevy and not a Ford ( i used a pic from the event's website to ID the car and i really don't know how i got confused )


If Chevy, can somebody tell me the model name and the MY range ?

Looks like a 1934 Chevrolet three-window coupe customized into a street rod to me. Headlights looks like aftermarket version of 1929-1934 Ford.

Thanks atom

White car on the left from this scene in Terminator 2 (1991):



I can't figure it out and it's bothering me.

strongly looks like a 1983-1986 Ford T-Bird Turbo ( or tuned to looks similar to one )

Any idea what future car i spotted here? Next Gen A-Class? This is in Diez, Rhineland-Palatinate.

Ah yes. Thanks
