Name this car....

There is no transmission tunnel, so it has to be front wheel drive so none of the Fiats (600 Jolly etc). I was wondering about an DKW Cabriolet but from memory, when a friend used to keep his alongside my car in a lock up garage in Vevey, Switzerland, in the early 1960's, they had a more elaborate dashboard, with a rev counter. However my memory may be mixing up with the Auto Union Coupe he bought later. Vvvvvvvvt - put - put - put.

Wilson, this vehicle was powered by an 1100cc four-stroke engine, later incrreased to 1200cc and is of front engine rear drive layout. So, it's not a DKW or any other two-stroke. There is a transmision tunnel, but due to the dark carpets and lighting, does not show in the photo.

Excellent sleuthing, Andreas. I was thinking that I was going to have to offer up a little more in the way of photographic hints but you nailed it! If not mistaken, I believe this is the first Skoda to appear in this thread. Over to you.

ok, let's try this one as my alternatives are limited. We are looking for the car at the very right, of which only the tyre is visible.

This one should not be too taxing. Taken at the Geneva Motor Show in 2005.

Wilson is right, it is. type C. Cannot post the full picture now.

Have you been there?

 

No, Andreas, I have never been to the museum, but it seemed to be a reasonable guess for the very rare Cisitalia 360 to be included in a Porsche factory museum collection. Maybe someday I can see what is there with my own eyes. :)

Bizarrini?

 

Well done. This is the 2005 Iso Grifo GT Strada 4.1 (?Audi engine) which has been shown around at various shows. A number of friends race the older 5300 Corsa, which is very fast and handles well but you need asbestos legs, because the front bulkhead , which wraps round your legs becomes close to red hot.

 

Your turn.

John, this is not a factory museum but a temporary exhibition at the Tabakfabrik in Linz, Austria.
