Who wants to be the ultimate car expert?

The first one who can name all the makes and models of the cars seen on these pictures will win a free ride in my Mercedes on a stretch of Autobahn with no speed limit.

I'm in the garage now for two hours, lets see what comes up!

Kind regards
Eberhard

I think the car on the right in the top pic is a Ford Capri.

Whopee...

Thought is was easier. Actually there was a BMW, but it was 7-series and it wasn't visible on the first two pic.

We have a Jensen Interceptor, we have a Jaguar E-Typ and we have the W 116.

But guys, you can do better...


Here is a little help for the car to left of the Jaguar E-type..

Quarter panel on car on the left looks almost like an alfa GTV.

Alfa GTV is right. No Skoda.

Kind regards

There is also a BMW [5-series maybe?] in front of the E-type Kiddie corner back from the Corvette looking car looks like an old Volvo P1800 I think. To the right of the Corvette looker is what looks to me like a 70's SL w/ the hard-top on.

Well, lets see. Some cars were right, some cars were wrong.


From the forground to the back:

BMW 7-series
Alfa Romeo GTV
W 116
Studebaker Avanti



Jaguar XJ
another Jaguar XJ
Studebaker
Jaguar E-Type
W 116



Now the tricky ones:

Jensen Interceptor
Bitter SC (looks like a Ferrari, but isn't. Just the same designer Michelotti)
and this awkward Coupe:

The Fiberfab Jamaican !

Here is a link to this icon of the seventies:

Kind regards
Eberhard

I'd forgotten about those(the Jamaican). Weren't they about the same vintage as the Bricklin? (early 70's)
