Advertisement Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Hi Andreas.Pichler, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
elansprint72 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share #2802 Posted January 13, 2012 I'm wondering if it is the little bulge on an MGC, but most of those are not in the US. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted January 13, 2012 Share #2803 Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Oops - must be the bookeh shot ;- Bingo, Pete - MGC, framed last weekend at the Houten MG Spare Parts fair /Netherlands, the first MG Car Club Event of the year. The power bulge is the distinctive design of the MGC - and especially the littel dome for the front carburretor is really enjoyable when you are the nut behind the wheel - its like watching a sort of mountain panorama ;-) MGC was the "big brother" of MGB, but the little one was much more successful with around 500.000 built. MGC: 8.999 built (roadster and GT), exported to US 4.256. With 145 horsepowers and a very smooth straight six cylinder engine, the MGC - especially as coupe (GT), was really a Gran Tourisme - with six appeal! I have owned one 20 years ago, and driven it around 50,000 km in one year - and is was a pleasure. Why not sucessful? It was not ready when presented in 1967. But problems can be sorted out, and with todays knowledge, its a very nice car - but still a sleeping beauty. So Pete: Its your turn!

elansprint72 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share #2804 Posted January 13, 2012 I really should have known that one- I owned a "C" back in the early 70s, we managed to make it go round corners pretty well; mods to the front suspension, better tryes than those supplied and different pressures. The factory really ought to have sorted this out but politically it was killed off. OK: this was taken using a D camera but not my D2, which was not with me on the day. Unfortunately it is with my D700, as thread-starter I'll crave your indulgence on this occasion. I suspect that Ron will get this one straight off. Welcome, dear visitor!

Rona!d Posted January 13, 2012 Share #2805 Posted January 13, 2012 Gents, I will be out of this thread for the next lap/s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted January 15, 2012 Share #2806 Posted January 15, 2012 Dear Pete, just to make sure that you are not dissapointed because of getting no feedback: I am digging. No chrome dngs, just a fuel tank cap - we are in the 80ies or later. This certain step in the boy - before mid 2005. Clear design, but not without design - Rover/Honda, noz Toyota? My first guess.

Rona!d Posted January 17, 2012 Share #2807 Posted January 17, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am digging. How deep? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted January 17, 2012 Share #2808 Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Right now I am through with BMW, Volvo, Mercedes, Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Audi, Jaguar, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Saab from 1960 to sysdate. Volvo 740 and similar and BMW pre 2000 (7 series come close) have been my favourites, but could not find a match. Have digged through 30 plus websites with NEC Birmingham photos of 2010 - no match as well - but it is looking so damn familiar (but it is not an MG, have looked into my own garage as well). Have been trough a handful of parking lots - no match. Digging further and deeper, digging a real big hole in my spare time budget :-) - and it seems, I am the only one...

Andreas.Pichler Posted January 19, 2012 Share #2810 Posted January 19, 2012 Now they are all looking like the same...after browsing through thousands of car pics. So time to make a well estimated guess: Tatra 700 (yes, there was a Tatra booth on Birmingham Car Show 2010) Cheers, Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share #2811 Posted January 19, 2012 Sorry; been away for a few days. To make this easier- this is the front of the car! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elansprint72 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share #2815 Posted January 20, 2012 BMW 700- got to go............ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted January 20, 2012 Share #2816 Posted January 20, 2012 ....grmpfff - and I have studied BMW 700 pics to find a soluton for this thread. But the shape auf fuel opening is BMWish, compared to later BMWs. But this one is a special then - as far as I know, the fuel opening was behind the bonnet?

Rona!d Posted January 21, 2012 Share #2817 Posted January 21, 2012 Andreas, you haven´t check the race versions. To save fuel refill time at rallyes and races some coupes have been modified Here you find what you have missed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted January 21, 2012 Share #2818 Posted January 21, 2012 I see! And to make things worse, I was totally off track concerning "...this is the front :eek:" - because after this, I was looking for cars which front is looking like (Healey Frogeye, Mini Moke, Citroen Cocinelle...). If the next question again is related to NEC Birmingham, I have lots of bookmarks Cheers, Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas.Pichler Posted January 21, 2012 Share #2820 Posted January 21, 2012 It seems, that nobody wants to jump in? So I will. Because its weekend, and because I have had real difficulties with the last one, here is a quite easy crop, or a pair of crops, to make it even easier for you. Only problem: our "family member living in the garage" (not my garage, so its not an MG!) needs some tender loving care...rusty, but far from frustration. This car was loved on both sides of the pond when new. Its not a prototype, but netherless you have to do a full restoration in your mind to see the wonderful lines of a...ooopsy :-) Have fun and enjoy! Cheers, Andreas PS: Photo gear - Leica M8.2 with VC Nokton 1.4/40 PPS: The SAAB museum (biggest SAAB collection in the world) will for sale on Monday, one car after the other - the whole collection will be spread all over the world, its a pity, isn't it? PPPS: Have deleted my NEC Birmingham links by accident, so I can't tell you, if our...humdidu... has been there... Welcome, dear visitor!
