Classic Alfa Forums

Well, well, well, - in a box that should be labelled ' what are these because they are not Sud parts' I have two of these indicator repeaters for the 2000 / 2600 Sprint, brand new, in packets ! - so if anyone on here knows someone with this model - or anything else they were fitted to - get them to get in touch.
Cheers, John.

Keith, I think the V12 was a production engine. Aero engines from that era are truly enormous.

I do recognise the event, it's the Merrist Wood show outside Guildford isn't it?

Yes it was Lauren. The 2600 and my Sud where the only Alfas there - maybe a date next year for some of us locals?

John, I have a feeling they're the same as the side repeaters for step front Bertones as well so you can broaden your market!

So what is the car?

Been to a local show today and thought of you lot. Answers in 24 hrs.

Had never even heard of this. 1912 Mors Touring 4 speed box, bought out by Citroen who shut them down and used their factory

Firstly, Philip.
Still no idea, all I could think of is some sort of Jaguar ?

Tony,
Renault 25 or 30. Is it a Renault 30 (looking at the wheels), no idea of the second car. Some sort of Triumph or maybe an AC ? A Jowett, and maybe a Vauxhall ?
Sorry , best I could do.

With Keith on the first - Renault 25/30.
2nd one - wild guess; Auburn Speedster or some such American.....A Packard?
3rd One - Swallow Doretti
4th one - Jowett (Javelin?)
5th One - Vauxhall Velox or could it be an early Ford Consul?
Cheers
Ted

Tony, I meant to say, I presume that is your Sud sneaking into the photo of the Mors ?

Good try Kegsti66 - but No, it is not a Jaguar.......

Daimler ?

Yes it is Keith, didn't know at the time. Along with my daughter Sam and her newish dog Red.

Going pretty good Ted - have another go at 4 and 5. There are 2 cars in 5.

Kegsti66 wrote:Daimler ?

Afraid not - but it is British.

Philip, a Lagonda ?

Tony, was it the 25 or 30 Renault?

I will stick with a Vauxhall and go for a Javelin.

Is Red an English terrier ?

What an involved post !!

The attachment DSCF7044.JPG is no longer available

If it says "King of the Road" on the wing mounted lights I'd guess at Lagonda like this?

This did get a bit fragmented didn't it. OK here goes - Keith and Ted both spot on Renault 30. Ted spot on with Auburn.

How you got the Swallow Doretti I can't imagine, I'd never heard of it but TR2 based and only made for 2 years. You're both correct with Jowett but it's a Jupiter.

The tho cars in pic 5 are front of a Zody and the rear of a Vauxhall Wyvern. Yes Keith 1yr old English Bull Terrier.

He is lovely

Nice try Sud 145 but it is not a Lagonda...

Trying to think of a British Roadster with no emblem on the rad cap. Another pic might help if you have one.

Here is another picture as requested

As usual I am late arriving, but I got the Swallow Doretti as well. And the Renault of course. Should have clocked the Auburn as well (its a replica, right?), easily my favourite pre-war car. Each one guaranteed to run at 100 mph.

an MG badge on the steering wheel, doesn't mean I've any more of a clue though

Process of elimination is it an MG TA?

Close enough Sud 145 - it is an MGTC so Kev was also getting there.

a different sort of puzzle post here, spot what's odd in this picture, apologies for the poor quality, phone pic

Number 72 is a left hooker.

bugger me tony, that was too easy!

i'd never seen a left hooker before

also while i'm thinking about it, some had hillman imp engines in too...sounded mega on twin webbers
