J_Thompson Posted June 22, 2010 Share #161 Posted June 22, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ken, it looks like you're the winner. This vehicle is indeed a 1939 American Bantam semi and the last remaining example of approximately eight built for promotional purposes that they called a "Bantamliner." American Austin was the name of the first manufacturer, who went bankrupt, while the reincarnated company, American Bantam, among other offerings, is best known for developing the first prototype jeep - the Bantam Reconnaissance Vehicle.

Guest suilvenman Posted June 22, 2010 Share #162 Posted June 22, 2010 Cheers, John. Until I can scan something, there might be a wee delay. I'd be happy for Larry to post the next one, if you agree, Larry? Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
becker Posted June 22, 2010 Share #163 Posted June 22, 2010 The idea is that you have to identify the car, then, if confirmed as correct, you can put one up for the rest of us to name. So, JT; as usual I have no idea. Sorry for that. Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elansprint72 Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share #165 Posted June 22, 2010 Matt and Henry- no problem! There is a general classic car (and bike?) thread here: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/sports-leisure-time/124671-classic-cars-open-thread.html Henry, I think it is a Bentley with special 2-seater bodywork but I'm usually wrong. Anyone else got a view? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Thompson Posted June 22, 2010 Share #166 Posted June 22, 2010 Cheers, John. Until I can scan something, there might be a wee delay. I'd be happy for Larry to post the next one, if you agree, Larry? Ken. I've got no problems with that, Ken. Let's just keep this thread going as it seems to have a pretty healthy following. Larry, have you got anything?

likalar Posted June 22, 2010 Share #170 Posted June 22, 2010 Kent, you are right! Officially it was the "Fiat 600 Derivazione Abarth 750 GT Carrozzeria Zagato". That was thankfully shortened to Fiat Abarth 750 Zagato Coupe. Built from 1956-58ish, with as much as 47hp. Here's the front of the car. : Your turn, and thanks! Larry Welcome, dear visitor!

Guest suilvenman Posted June 24, 2010 Share #180 Posted June 24, 2010 Seeing all these images of beautiful Alfas makes you fantasise about what a superb car manufacturer AR could have continued to be, had they used German steel and quality control methods. Sad to see the marque become re-badged Fiat. Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
