Advertisement Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Hi a.j.z, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Rona!d Posted March 22, 2021 Share #14942 Posted March 22, 2021 😂 The color is extremely pleasing, I‘d like to have a classic Mini Cooper in it. GoPro: The first time I saw a GoPro on a car was on a Lamborghini track day on a F1 test track in Spain. The US driver had it fixed on the front of „my“ car he planned to drive instead of me. I asked him to get this off the car otherwise I would do that while driving. He replied that it sticks to the car even at 200 km/h. I said: That‘s the problem, the works drivers are at 225+ km/h on the long straight when starting to break down for the narrow right curve and I am planning not to be much behind that - please get this thing off NOW ;-))) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted March 22, 2021 Share #14943 Posted March 22, 2021 You also could have asked him about his insurance coverage. Must have been a short straight 😁 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted March 23, 2021 Share #14945 Posted March 23, 2021 Top speed on the long straight (960mtrs) I could find was around 315 km/h, assume that was a race car (F1?) while we "only" had Gallardos. Straights are boring, the curves are the fun. About 160° turn after the long straight was breaking down from 230 km/h to maybe 50 km/h. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted March 25, 2021 Share #14949 Posted March 25, 2021 OK, this is the full picture I have. Now it should be easy. You can also google Prague and old cars etc. so you get a side and front view of this vehicle (I don´t have as digital image). Background info: These cars are used for sightseeing tours (not only in CZ). As many of you might know in former years many real classic cars and "homemade" pseudo-classics used to tour tourists in Prague. A lot of them weren´t street legal even pretty dangerous. Some had no registration while others were registered as LPG-powered 6 (!!!)-seater MOTORCYCLES. Insane, double amount of passengers than the classic 3-seater Böhmerland motorcycles. At one point officials took most of them out of service because they were checked totally unsafe and barely street legal. For the rest and real classic cars (especially the real 1930s models) service costs were too high to compete with "cheap tours" offered in wild homemade pseudo classics. As a result of that the tour-companies had to become more professional and invest in better cars which brings us to the riddle car. The car shown here is a retro 1930s open Tourer serial made in the 1990s and 2000s with LPG and modern (professional made) chassis, brakes etc. Additional info: About 260 cars in different body styles were made until today. The brand changed ownership through the years but the brands name and model name remained the same. So which car is it? Welcome, dear visitor!

Rona!d Posted March 27, 2021 Share #14952 Posted March 27, 2021 Seems nobody knows it. I showed it because we all have seen one but don‘t know who makes them. It is a „Vintage Ryecroft“. „Vintage“ was a british car brand owned by three different companies. They are/were specialized in making wedding and tourist tour cars in the 1930s Ford Model A look in different body styles (Landaulet, Tourer, Limousine, Pick-up, Truck). The Tourer is called „Ryecroft“. I‘m sure you have seen them at tourist hotspots or as promotion/sale vehicles. We classic car lovers might ingnore them 😉 So Wilson was closest with a 1930s (!!!) guess and the only one who answered. May he present the next car or decide who’s next. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z. Goriup Posted March 28, 2021 Share #14953 Posted March 28, 2021 Would love to see a full frontal image of one of these vehicles........who knows, maybe we all have seen one, but with only the rear view it's hard to tell. Since it appears we're at a bit of a hopefully temporary impasse, permit me to fill this 'pregnant pause' by posting an interim image until Wilson either posts his next puzzle car or asks that someone else come up with something. This is not the next mystery vehicle, rather, think of it as 'taking a mulligan'. A 'Mulligan' is an american golf term where the unfortunate golfer is given a free stroke because his ball is in an unplayable position. I was playing around with some old files and ran across a shot of a very familiar car, yet when I cropped it with the thought in mind to produce potential material for future posting here in case I ever 'win' another turn, I'm quite sure that either I nor probably any of the other usual supects on this forum could solve this based on the attached shot............I think it's all about cropping it in a way that makes one look at familiar objects in a new light and what Sir Jackie Stewart refers to as 'mind management'. Again, not an official entry in the game, just trying to keep things moving along.......or incontrovertibly proving I've gone around the bend for good. JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

I'm pretty certain I've never seen one - Falkirk might not have been the main sales-ground for one of these things - but, having googled the marque, I have to say I don't think it's quite as horrendous as I was expecting it to look from the brief description!

It looks like this one, but a bit stretched to offer an additional seat row. And not that much chrome extras, a bit more basic for daily tourist tours in Prague. https://www.warktonweddingcars.co.uk/the-cars/ryecroft-tourer https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Vintage_(British_make)_vehicles?uselang=en-gb When I saw them I thought "ugly fake classic car - total no-go" and I haven´t even asked what it was. But finding the right car/maker in the internet was somehow interesting. And with all the body styles I got aware they are around us and we have seen them at least in one of the other body styles like as an ice-cream car etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here a Wiki-link to one of the makers (Bramwith Motor Company). Unfortunately only in German on Wikipedia. Another link to the model range here. Seems they used Ford and IVECO parts.
