#namethatcar — Public Fediverse posts

Here's a likely #YoungTimer internet find, which could be titled

"Automobile Still Life"

And it also serves very well for a #NameThatCarChallenge.

(Please post any guesses or hints with a content warning, so that others can do their own guesses, too. Thanks!)

For today's #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge we have something a little bit older than the TVR which was last vehicle. It's big, it's black but can you name it from this unusual view of the wing?
This one is definitely a Classic Car!

So #WeirdCarMastodon folks after an unscheduled break, for which I can only apologise, it's the return of the #NameThatCar challenge.

Today's images are I think very distinctive, I suspect one would need to know their American cars, to be able to get it.

The answer to the outstanding #NameThatCar challenge is a car that I like the look of, but have never really desired, despite owning its siblings! I would like to drive one sometime! The image with its odd vents made a few folks to think "rear-engined" whereas it is in fact Triumph's pocket homage to the E-Type, the #Triumph #GT6 MKIII. The vents are either cabin air or just decoration!
Well done if you got it right!

For the next #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge something very different to a Mondeo!
As ever can you name it from this image of a slopy side?

For our next #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge we have a cat that was once a mainstream staple.
While earlier generations of this car could be found all over the world this version less so. Still it's a strong design and might yet be a classic!

Turning to our outstanding #NameThatCar challenge. This one attracted a couple of left field responses, sadly I must disappoint and say it is not a Maxi 😲 , or even an American version of one!
The car is a many of you figured out a Dodge Charger, I am not sure what the British version would be, perhaps a Vauxhall Magnum?
Thanks for all the guesses, well done if you got it right!

For the next #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge after the success of yesterdays mirror image, here is another similar looking door mirror, but a very different car!

The answer to the outstanding #NameThatCar challenge is a car that would have been an object of desire in my youth, affordable performance compared to a hot hatch.
It is a #Ford #Escort MK1 #Mexico which I spotted for sale at a petrol station for £32k, isn't even an original Mexico.
Kudos to @philturpin who explained the difference between a Mexico and an RS, stripe positioning! Thanks for the guesses, well done if you got it right.

For the next #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge we here is something to reflect on... See what I did there!
Can you name it from this image? I should say I don't belive these were sold in North America but versions of it were offered in a number of established global markets and famously this car did get to other parts of the Americas.

The answer to the outstanding #NameThatCar challenge was as many spotted a #Rover P5B Coupe. It's not the most obvious Coupe. As these are indistinguishable from the saloon from the front corner I will take Rover P5. This is a car associated with Margaret Thatcher, while out of production by the time she became PM HMG having purchased the end of production vehicles, kept them in use by Minsters into the 80s.

For the next #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge we have a tricky shot of car that in its day was a distinctive symbol of the establishment. I am pretty sure at least one weird.Autos member owners one of these!

The answer to the outstanding #NameThatCar challenge... Well as a number of you #WeirdCarMastodon folks correctly identified it is a Honda S2000.
A car I think still looks very modern despite being out production for 14 years.
It's tricky handling in the wet means that a fair number have ended up in the great scrapyard in the sky. Possibly helping secure it's future classic status.
Thanks to everyone who had a guess.

The answer the outstanding #NameThatCar challenge was this attractive Jaguar XJS Convertible from sunny California. Thanks to @Holberg for the picture.
Following the E-Type was always going to be tough and XJ-S didn't get the warmest of welcome. However it stuck around and was well liked if out dated by the time it was eventually retired.
Thanks to everyone who had a guess.

So the answer to the outstanding #NameThatCar challenge was, as many figured out a product of the Rootes Group . A firm who were early and enthusiastic adopters of Badge-engineering!
In this particular case the badge was Singer, there mid-range offering.
The car is question a Singer Gazelle in period grey wirh a fetching stripe!
Well done if you got it, thanks to everyone who had a guess.

So the answer to the outstanding #NameThatCar challenge.
As many of you #WeirdCarMastodon folks correctly identified it was a Buick Special. Those portholes in the wing were very distinctive!
The only question was whuch model.
Helpfully the owner had provided an informative label.
Buick Special Model 48 264 cui Fireball V8.
Thanks to everyone who had a guess.

Well done if you figured it out.
Thanks for all the guesses, another challenge a bit later.

So the answer to the outstanding #NameThatCar challenge was relatively tricky with the crop of the image misleading some folks.
However those who did their detective work would have realised it was a Jaguar MKII as favoured by Inspector Morse on the telly.
Well done if you got right, thanks for the guesses.

The answer to yesterdays #NameThatCar challenge was the self proclaimed Ultimate Drivers car that is the much sought after BMW M240, well done if you got it was a 2-Series but bonus points to @brett who correctly identified it as an M car! I believe this is described as a Coupe though it seems to me it could pass as a saloon.

The Answer to yesterday's #NameThatCar challenge... where I did my best to disguise a beautiful and truly iconic car, by sharing a photo of a bit no one normally notices! The car in question was a 1970's Jaguar E-Type convertible.
Well done if you identified it, bonus points to @DenOfEarth who also identified the colour!
Thanks for all the guesses.

The answer to yesterdays #NameThatCar challenge... Well as many of you worked out it is a third generation (W30) #Toyota MR2.
The one where a reviewer once suggested that Toyota had got so carried away they forgot to include a boot /trunk!
This slight rough looking one was being worked on at a local garage, so still in use.
It's not a car I have driven but it looks good and will I suspect be a future classic.
Well done if you got it.

The answer to yesterdays King of Estate cars #NameThatCar challenge was of course a a Volvo.

In this instance a very presentable #Volvo 240 SE Estate which to be in regular use. As the last one rolled off the production line in 1993, this one is at least 30 years old so good to see it being used.
Well done if you got it, I did accept Antique Dealers Volvo as this is a legitimate answer.

I am out and about today, so earlier than usual here is the answer to yesterdays #NameThatCar challenge for #WeirdCarMastodonwe.

As many of you deduced it was the small, practical reliable and perfectly formed Honda Jazz, also know as a Honda Fit in some markets. It is a great little car and I can see it becoming something of a classic.
Well done if you got it.

Thanks to everyone who had a guess at my Easter #NameThatCar challenge for #WeirdCarMastodon I hope you enjoyed the different format.
The car was as a number of you correctly identified a Ford Model A, in very lovely condition. I guess anything that old is going to be very well cared for if still in use, even just for Sundays.

Thanks to everyone who had a guess at yesterday's #NameThatCar challenge, it got easier once I included a photo 🙄

As several of you smart #WeirdCarMastodon folks worked out it is a slightly unusual Fiat 600 Multipla with an odd rear light cluster. This maybe linked to the fact that the car in the photo is in California!
Thanks to @drawks for providing this photo, it is much appreciated.

The answer to yesterdays #NameThatCar challenge for #WeirdCarMastodon was as guessed by a fair number of people...

A Triumph TR6, which some purists regard as the last "proper" TR. Being a TR7 fan I am disinclined to agree with that point of view.
It is a fine looking car, especially with the roof down.

@infoclassiche the answer to yesterdays #NameThatCar challenge was a tough one as I choose a very unusual car. It a Lancia Fulvia Zagato 1600 Sport built/converted to Competizione specification so very niche and very well done to anyone who got close or even identified the actual car 😏

Thanks to everyone who had a guess, favourited or boosted yesterdays #NameThatCar challenge.
Yesterday's photo was part of the instrument cluster of a Citroën DS. Well done to those of you who managed to identify it. It is one of three cars I photographed at an event, I am not sure when one it was, or the exact model.
