How about a new round of guess that car?

[Danny]

I like the word "bobbin"

 

[mr_pushrod]

Let's go for something a bit different....

 

[bengee]

wwII(during or a bit after) army prototype from some major country invovled?

 

[miata13B]

That is a nice TOW launcher on that buggy : ) I would love to have one : )

 

[mr_pushrod]

Correct with army prototype...

 

[bengee]

Is the period right?

couldn't be a jeep without the 7 grilled front

I say japanese or european... that is if the time period is correct

 

[Cano]

its a hot wheels prottype!! O_o damn that thing is odd...

 

[mr_pushrod]

Later than WW2.

 

[bengee]

dam you pushrod dam you

 

[eliseracer]

Definately not a Jeep, maybe a AM General concept, to replace to Hummer. That's what the front wheel arches are telling me... Looks like something out of the backmost pages of Popular Mechanics as well. Maybe something maybe mid 80s? DEFINATELY post WWII

 

[mr_pushrod]

Earlier than 80's, this was a private venture to produce a 4 wheel drive army vehicle. Are you having fun yet Bengee?

[mr_pushrod]

Correct! Your go shaggie.

 

[eliseracer]

Looks good for a project started in 1969.

 

[Danny]

Bravo Shaggie.

 

[shaggie]

propably an easy one

 

[eliseracer]

Daewoo Matiz?

 

[shaggie]

nope

 

[Carl.]

a rebadged Ford Fusion?

 

[shaggie]

not a ford...

it's big, it's bad, it's ...russian

 

[eliseracer]

Okay I have to go but I'll help you people. This is a Lada concept, it will be REALLY hard to find the model, they rank them by numbers (2134, 1342). All I know is that this car is a Lada and the picture was taken at the Moscow Motor Show, but I am not sure which year. After 2000 though.

Lada 2151

 

[shaggie]

see, it wasn't that hard

your go carrera

 

[911_Carrera]

Difficult to keep this one clean, I should think.

 

[Famine]

Well... It's a Lotus Se7en clone. Could be a Caterham Super Seven, or a Westfield, or a Tiger, or one no-one's heard of yet...

 

[Dave A]

It's not a Caterham or a Lotue seven, they all havethe number 7 on the grille. I don't think it's a Westfield, but don't take that as a definitely not Westfield comment.

 

[WhiteCharisma85]

No you are wrong. Not ALL Caterhams have the number 7 painted on the grill. I see it right here in my car encyclpedia a Caterham Super 7 with no number seven painted on the grill. And the grill in the picture matches with the one posted by 911_Carrera. So Famine is most likely right.

 

[mr_pushrod]

I'd go with a genuine Lotus 7 although that seems far too easy. It appears the pic was taken in America, could this be a clue to the car's nationality?

 

[Famine]

Very skinny tyres means it probably is an early one, like the original Se7en. But it appears to have a V8, like the Westfield SEight.

Only American Se7en clone I know of is the Stalker V6.
