Second from last is a Mazda Coupe - RX3?

The one before looks like a Renault 12. No idea what the first one in the group is - a Jowett perhaps? Or an early Jensen?

Great to see the Marcos Mantis about - the blue one is a regular show attendee. I got the Panhard, and I did wonder if the red car with suicide doors was an early Rover P4.

First car (the dull beige one with a side repeater on its rump) I thought looked distinctly French - a Renault perhaps?

Kicking myself over the Dino coupe - easily my favourite Fiat/Fezza :D

OK, the Mazda is an RX4.

Hmm. Simca 1100?

Early Jensen Interceptor?

The last one has me stumped completely. I thought I could see the edge of the curious fold in the bonnet that clears the wiper spindle on the Junior Zagato, but the there are no associated swage lines. Not much else to go on to be honest...

Congratulations people you got them all except what I thought was the easiest No 1. The early '54 Intercepter was beautiful and the RX4 I'd never seen. Jensen GT to finish.

Renault Dauphine , of course.
Yellow Mazda is a real beauty, and I see the Rover has been well tweaked.
Cheers Tony.

Question is. Did they save it, or did it end in tears?

Love the Chrysler Ghia,
and the Griffo looks fantastic. :lol: :lol:

I think the title of the image (oh bugger) suggests how it probably ended. Outside tyres show no sign of distortion load so my guess is the car is heading for a big roll... :shock:

Rover gas turbine - T3 I think. The next step in the evolutionary chain to the T4, which we all know as the Rover P6. The longitudinal coil-over set up under the bonnet of the same was a carry-over from the turbine car.

Spotted at MITCAR, methinks!
