Re: The Puzzle Post!
What gave you the Bitter for heavens sake. The 2600 is possibly the only roadworthy example in the country.

Re: The Puzzle Post!
I’ve always found the bitter a good looking car so it just registered with me. (I think it’s Actually better looking than the opel Monza it’s based in) Whilst a casual glance it could be confused with an X-19 I knew it wasn’t as the boot lid and bumper were all wrong. I had a brain fart in the 2600 but after you said it was Italian it was the obvious choice. Btw. I don’t suppose you’ve got the contact details of the owner ? I have a technical manual for the 2600 that they may find useful.

Re: The Puzzle Post!
Don’t know Tony. But I’m struggling with #3. I’m sure I’ll kick myself when you give us the answer.

Re: The Puzzle Post!
Well, I'll join in, but I'm no use at this game although I did get the Mk1 escort!
The one with the duct, it looks like it's not a bonnet as I'd expect to see a windscreen in shot...so is that a cunning picture of some rear engined car with a scoop in the engine lid at the back?

Re: The Puzzle Post!
Sorry guys , not much good here.
With the taper on the quarter panel I agree with the Fiat 124 filler flap and the Escort mk1,
I thought maybe a tvr with the bonnet lever, but not sure. Repeater looks Italian?
No idea on the vent.

Re: The Puzzle Post!
I still think #3 is a front engined bonnet. The leading edge looks too slopy for it to be rear deck lid (I May be wrong) it also appears to be a big flat bonnet with very few lines or bulges.
It’s certainly one of Tony’s more challenging pics.

Re: The Puzzle Post!
Ditto
Well done Tony.
Re: The Puzzle Post!
I was kinda on track with No3, in that the windscreen wasn't in view as the picture was looking down the bonnet not up towards the 'screen!
Would never have got it anyway

Re: The Puzzle Post!
Yippee - I think that's the first "win" I've had with you knowledgeable guys, I won't rest on my laurels tho'
Re: The Puzzle Post!
Show time.
Re: The Puzzle Post!
You have done it again Tony, Only got the Volvo, and that was before realising it was written on the lens.V40?
The filler cap in the grill I recognise , but can't place.
The bonnet bulge reminds me of of a first gen Celica Supra (late 1980's)
Can I get half a point for spotting the Jenson Interceptor?

Re: The Puzzle Post!
Well so far three are correct but you've got the wrong Volvo Clue...there maybe a French and Italian in there.
Re: The Puzzle Post!
I would have got the Plymouth Superbird too, if I had dropped by earlier
I think #3 is a Maserati Khamsin. Lovely motor, shame about the Citroen hydraulics though.

Re: The Puzzle Post!
It could be anything, frankly
Re: The Puzzle Post!
It's part of a large bonnet.
Re: The Puzzle Post!
I should have got the Khamsin, I knew I recognised it. Did some work recently on this one.
