John Z. Goriup Posted May 21, 2021 Share #15322 Posted May 21, 2021 The Lotus Exige is / was a wonderfully engaging little car that I dearly wanted to own and test-drove in all three iterations - Gen I,2 &3 - hoping they'd change it sufficiently to accomodate a larger ( no pun intended) clientele, but alas, the cramped cockpit kept me from byuying one: I simply could not climb in and sit in one, it is just too damned small & tight for a man of my size to safely and comfortably fit in it. The next puzzle below is not the same car merely in another color - different marque, different country, rather, I want to highlight just how strongly reliant on wind-tunnel results designers of modern sportscar have become. I realize it's only a tiny slice of the whole car, purposely almost identical to Andreas' clue of the previous mystery car..... I would be happy to provide additional clues - any guesses ?

John Z. Goriup Posted May 21, 2021 Share #15324 Posted May 21, 2021 I certainly didn't expectc a soultion that quickly, but you're absolutely correct. A Maserati 12MC it is, shown at Concorso Italiano. Must be the roof air intake and the front-fender louvres that gave it away - the distinctive Enzo driver's side window also must have helped cement the identification. You are next up.

wlaidlaw Posted May 21, 2021 Share #15327 Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Maybe the Figoni and Falaschi body on the 1936 Delahaye 135 M Competition Coupé? I assume it is French from the Marchal headlight. Wilson Edited May 21, 2021 by wlaidlaw Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.j.z Posted May 22, 2021 Share #15331 Posted May 22, 2021 Indeed, a clever crop - I got distracted, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted May 22, 2021 Share #15332 Posted May 22, 2021 Thanks. Everyone can post the next car if I‘m not fast enough. Indeed a pretty clever crop. As a BMW 328 Roadster/327/28 Cabriolet fan I knew I just have to add some more years for the blinkers and 501/502 was the logic answer. 502 because of the chrome trim in the crops background. Some years ago an old collector who wanted to downsize offered me a pretty healthy „daily driver“ 502 with sun roof which only needed some care and love and wasn’t expensive. I never thought about 502s before the kids and always wanted a 327/28. Now I think that 502 would be a nice family friendly classic bimmer but I still don‘t like the design that much. Maybe after some weeks in the stable I might like it. They are elegant dinosaurs which drive nicely. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Z. Goriup Posted May 23, 2021 Share #15334 Posted May 23, 2021 With the crops getting smaller & smaller, the body sheetmetal and light arrangement shout Alfa-Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale ....... but the bumper isn't right for that car.

Rona!d Posted May 23, 2021 Share #15335 Posted May 23, 2021 The bumper is right for the car, hence it is not a Gulia Sprint Speciale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted May 24, 2021 Share #15336 Posted May 24, 2021 OK, let´s try a second crop. Apologize for being pretty tight again but maybe someone might get it. To fool you, I deleted a part of the brand´s name, one letter in the beginning is missing. One little further help: The car in question was only made in small numbers: 252 cars and Elvis Presley owned one. It was made in Germany but aimed to the US market. It was made from 1956 to 1959 and was designed by Albrecht Graf von Goertz. Because this second crop is pretty tight again (sorry, John I don´t have any further angles of this car - really!) I should mention it is a two-seater Roadster with a V8 engine based on the prior riddle car. Hence propably the same maker (oops!). Lot´s of information but when the photos are too unspecific this might be helpful. Who will get this mystery car? Welcome, dear visitor!
