How did I miss this??
I got the first three, didn't get the Keeble but knew it was British as it is using standard Lucas light units.

Ahhh the immortal Gordon Keeble Tortoise

[Sud 145]

I always thought of it as a turtle but Wiki in its wisdom says that its a tortoise.

[LooLooSud33Spider]

Me too. Interesting story as to why they chose the Tortoise as a mascot

Tinker !!

Your Saturday selection folks.

[LooLooSud33Spider]

Maserati Biturbo
Jowett Jupiter
I suspect they’re custom handles ??
Lotus Esprit
Is it Some sort of Vintage Renault ??

[Sud 145]

I think you may be correct with number 3 Lou - will leave it a couple more days else Keith will get upset again....CLUE No 5 I'd never heard of but it's Scottish.

[Veesix75]

Is 5, the door handle an Aston Martin ?

[LooLooSud33Spider]

That was my first thought Keith. But after much research I can’t see a model that matches

[Spacenut]

I'll second #3 as an Esprit, likely an S1 due to apparent lack of interior ruching but difficult to tell from this angle...

Also agree about the Jowett Jupiter (I did briefly wonder about the Javelin, but that has a full-width grille)

Maser is a 1991 facelift model I think.

No idea where the door handles come from, but they are stylish

[Kegsti66]

I go for the Bi turbo and Lotus Esprit as well, but I will be honest not sure of the others.
Those door handles seem to be a kit as I have noticed them on retro fit classic American Muscle, so for that i will say a 69-70
Dodge Challenger or Chevy Camero.

[Kegsti66]

Looking again at the door handles. The weather strip looks too modern

[KevJTD]

Door handles look Tesla to me..

[LooLooSud33Spider]

Not Tesla Kev. I think it’s a custom job but very well done I’ve seen lots of US hot rods using those handle kits they look really slick Tesla ones are more oblongular.

[Sud 145]

1. Biturbo 2. Jowett Jupiter 3. Door handles on a Camaro SS 4. Esprit Turbo 5. Is a Scottish made Arrol-Johnstone, told you it was tricky.

[Sud 145]

Seeing as I mucked up no 3 have this by way of compensation.

[LooLooSud33Spider]

My guess is Honda S600 coupe

[Kegsti66]

As Lou says Kev, these seem to be a popular mod on shows like Fast and Loud (Gas Monkeys) and Bitchin' Rides. Dave Kindig (Bitchin' Rides) has put his name to these kits, they appear to do a few designs.

That'll be why I've not seen them..

9.9/10 Lou, it's an S800

[LooLooSud33Spider]

Oh yeah sorry Tony. I couldn’t see the engine number in the pic. I’m glad you didn’t score my exam results all those years ago ? Or maybe you did !!!

Those custom car TV shows have got a lot to answer for - people these days think 18" daisy mags are standard on American muscle cars

[Kegsti66]

I agree Lauren, this obsession with massive diameter wheels with rubber band tyres just doesn't suit those sort of cars.

[Sud 145]

Show time peeps....

[Sud 145]

Answers Monday night cos it's a Bank Hol and people might be busy.

[LooLooSud33Spider]

So here goes. # 1 has beat me

1. Haven’t a scooby!!
2. Simca / Matra Bagheera
3. Bitter SC.
4. Corvette
5. BMW 3.0 csi
6. Ford consul Capri coupe

[Veesix75]

Pic 1 I’ll take a punt on Bristol

Pic 3 is a Fiat x19

Pic 6 could be a consul classic or a consul Capri - based on colour I’ll go classic.

[Sud 145]

Will give it one more day..........Hint No 1 is Italian......Good going Lou

[LooLooSud33Spider]

I knew it looked familiar. But had a bit of Brain fade Of course it’s the delightful Alfa romeo 2600 saloon
