[Legro]

No and no.

 

[GT'S BiG FaN]

[Legro]

Morris Major?

*Shakes head.*

 

[GT'S BiG FaN]

Wolseley 6/xx?

 

[JR98]

I give up.

 

[Legro]

Yes.

 

[GT'S BiG FaN]

At last Someone else can take my turn.

Well, if I can: (Also, I apologise if the picture looks blurry, but I wanted to get the right amount of detail without looking too obvious.)

British?

 

[Niku Driver HC]

British?

Nope. I can also say that it's not European, before you ask.

It was designed by an European, however.

 

[JR98]

American? Looks a bit Italian.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

American? Looks a bit Italian.

I'm afraid it's not American either. But you make an interesting remark, perhaps you should "look" more into that...

 

[GT'S BiG FaN]

Russian?

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Russian?

You're getting there, just move around Asia a bit more.

 

[GT'S BiG FaN]

You're getting there, just move around Asia a bit more.

Japanese?

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Japanese?

Ok, you hit the sweet spot. Now fiddle around there.

 

[JR98]

Ok, you hit the sweet spot. Now fiddle around there.

So we're looking for a Japanese car designed by an Italian. Got it.

 

[RocZX]

Is it a Hino Contessa 1300?

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Is it a Hino Contessa 1300?

Ding Ding! You nailed it:

Congrats, Roc, you're up next. 👍

 

[JR98]

Not what I expected at all. From the grille on the back I originally thought Ferrari but that is quite different.

Well, there is an Italian side to the Contessa; the 1300 was designed by Giovanni Michelotti, designer of the Triumph Herald. So yes, that was the Italian design bit I was refering to.

I was right in that it was a Japanese car designed by an Italian.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

I was right in that it was a Japanese car designed by an Italian.

Hey, no one is taking that away from you. You just weren't aware of the manufacturer that built the car in question. And yes, the Contessa is a bit of a dark horse when it comes to classic Japanese cars.

Well, I never even heard of Hino before now.

I keep thinking 993/4 Porsche for some reason
