NigelG Posted September 27, 2020 Share #13650 Posted September 27, 2020 Lancia I think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted September 27, 2020 Share #13651 Posted September 27, 2020 Nigel, I also thought Lancia, as that blue (and the mint green) are very 1950's Lancia colours but could not match the shape of the windscreen, side window and B pillar to any Appia, Aurelia or Flaminia coupé but they were bodied by so many coachbuilders, I may have missed the vital one. So as an alternative guess A Simca 8 Sport Coupé. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted September 27, 2020 Share #13652 Posted September 27, 2020 I was thinking this might be a presumably very rare hardtop version of a more familiar convertible. I’ve never see one though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigelG Posted September 28, 2020 Share #13656 Posted September 28, 2020 Yes Thought we were maybe looking at a Lancia Aurelia GT 2500 B24 hardtop (or Aurelia B24 convertible with factory top) ie after the original wraparound screen was restlyed by Pininfarina Agree re the colour - not sure I’ve ever seen a “baby blue” Ponton....

wlaidlaw Posted September 28, 2020 Share #13658 Posted September 28, 2020 My father had two 220S "Ponton" saloons in the 1950's and later in 1962, a "Heckflosse" (tail fins) W111/220SEC Coupé. Sadly the SEC was very badly damaged when it was just 3 weeks old, by being T-boned by a drunk driver. It should have been written off but was repaired. It was never right afterwards and my father sold it after a couple of years. I saw it around 15 years later in London (I remembered the number plate of DSE909) in a very sad and rusty state. I spoke to the then owner, who complained just like my father did after its accident, that it always pulled to the left and was very sensitive to road cambers. I will search for a new puzzle later today. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted September 30, 2020 Share #13659 Posted September 30, 2020 Here is your next one. As usual make, model and approx year plus for brownie points, the power unit maker.

pippy Posted September 30, 2020 Share #13660 Posted September 30, 2020 Various small things have distant echoes of Lister-Jaguar but almost everything else says "Not!"...in capital letters! Looking forward for more from anyone! Philip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
