Advertisement Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Hi billib, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Andreas.Pichler Posted December 28, 2011 Share #2702 Posted December 28, 2011 Yes, it looks like a Beetle, thats the reason why I have choosen this crop. But sometimes things are not what they are looking like...as this little racing car. Have you taken a closer look through the rear side window? If you have, you might have recognized the steering wheel on the right hand side in a typical design - which is not Volkswagen. By the way: The racing event in which our prototypes have started decades ago is still a very famous one! Bonne nuit, Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted December 28, 2011 Share #2705 Posted December 28, 2011 Back home, this car has a long story: MG SRX 210 twin cam maybe based on EX182/EX175/EX172/Syd Enever MG-TD (Le Mans 1952) mothers of MGA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted December 29, 2011 Share #2706 Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) ...I try it next time with a non-MG. Ronald, you're right: Its an MGA with a special coupe body, registered SRX210. Ted Lund and Hans Waeffler have been part of the three cars prototype MGA team (code name EX182) at Le Mans 1955. One car has had an accident (but not involved in the fatal accident at the Grand stand in 1955 Le Mans), the two others made it at 12th and 17th overall. Later on, one of the racers body combined with an MGA twin cam chassis was sold to Lund and he raced the car at Le Mans from 1959 to 1961. In the first year, he didnt finished because of a collision with a dog, but in 1960 he became 1st in class and 12th overall - not so bad for 5 year racing car! During these years, SRX210 got this very distinguished coupe additions. The actual shot was taken at 2008 Silverstone MG Car Club Meeting with Digilux 2 at the pits. Ronald - your turn again.

Rona!d Posted December 29, 2011 Share #2707 Posted December 29, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Somewhere I must have a shot when "SRX 210" license still was a roadster. What about the rumour that one of those EX182 is a rebuild EX175/EX172 (which once was a TD chassis)? I´d better keep my mouth shut, now I have to find something interesting. Maybe it will be an easy one, so anybody can make it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted December 29, 2011 Share #2709 Posted December 29, 2011 Rona|d - German sedan made within the last 10 years. Andreas - Beautiful "model," beautiful shot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas.Pichler Posted December 29, 2011 Share #2711 Posted December 29, 2011 A sedan or sports sedan...but in my opinion older than 10 years: - key lock (instead of infrared) - no drivers airbag (as far as one can see through the drivers window) Thought about an older Jaguar XJ, but series 2 has totally different door openers (pullhandle), and series 3 have the key lock below the belt line. RO 80 has had pullhandles as well. Cheers, Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted December 29, 2011 Share #2712 Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Stuart directs me on the right track... German sports sedan, but older (airbag etc.). BMW used this type or door opener...you can see it very clearly for example when take a closer look to the --> BMW 2500 <--. If I am right - then thanks to Stuart! Cheers, Andreas PS: The correct term is BMW E3, produced from 1968 to 1977 with engines from 2.5 up to 3.3 litres, therefore BMW 2500 is one example from the BMW E3 range.

Rona!d Posted December 29, 2011 Share #2713 Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Good you got it so quick, was an easy one, I guess (door handles, steering wheel etc.).

Andreas.Pichler Posted December 29, 2011 Share #2714 Posted December 29, 2011 I don't have a good one at hand right now...so, dear fellow enthusiasts, may everyone feel free to continue - thanks again to Stuart! Cheers, Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted December 29, 2011 Share #2715 Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) After a long work day...nothing happened here at "Sports & Leisure"? What the heck are you doing the whole day? Working as well, I assume... So, as no one likes to continue, I digged and found something cute for your enjoyment. Its again a sports protoype, and here are three clues: - Its not an MG - Its not from the 50s - Its not what you might expect Buena notte, Andreas PS: Photo gear was Summicron C 40 with Epson R-D1 Welcome, dear visitor!

ijporter Posted December 30, 2011 Share #2716 Posted December 30, 2011 I'd suggest a Veritas, but I don't know which model. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted December 30, 2011 Share #2717 Posted December 30, 2011 Indeed, an interesting front grille, isn't it? But its not a Veritas, its older, is was built far more in the south, and is not painted silver. So fix it - sorry, try it again, Ian! Cheers, Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted December 30, 2011 Share #2718 Posted December 30, 2011 The grill shape does suggest Veritas and some racing Astons of the same era, but the smoothness of the metalwork makes me think Italian, and the shade of gray suggests Italian racing red.
