Tee from China Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 OK as promised back in May for a harder picture quiz here for Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival are some 30 cars that you may know and some you may never have seen. The easier ones need to have the full and correct names to count i.e Renault Daphine Gordini etc . so enjoy (note 17 and 18 are not the same cars...honest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee from China Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Sorry guys please ignore the thumbnail numbers as I had to 'doctor' two pictures because they were too easy so 17 became 29! Great effort guys - especially Mr. Wilson who must be a car geek like me of the 9 Chris answered 5 were spot on and the other half right.VIL you got 6 half right and 1 correct. garethr you got 10 half right and 6 correct I did say the full titles hence some half right answers Answers later to let you sweat:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 The blue car has been bugging me (18.jpg). I ought to have looked closer, now I see a yellow badge and proper knock off peg drive wheels. Then I see the door and sill shape, so it's Lotus Elan based I think, yet the rear quarters have something Triumph Spitfire about them, so Michelotti comes to minds as the designer.
