Name this car:

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

(no fair peeking)

[VMA131Marine]

1. Lotus Europa

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

2. Winner!!

Here's your challenge. Name this one:

[Kilgore]

3. Triumph GT-6

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

4. Bravo!

Try something a bit newer:

[longship]

5. Here's another.

With The Avengers' Tara King. She always drove a Lotus Europa.

6. A namesake I found that flopped

The Tara King:

7. How does anybody sit in those back seats?

They look like toilets!

Worst car design ever!

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

8. Not my cup of tea either

I'd like one of these:

9. Austin Healy 3000.

The only thing wrong with it was that it had horrible British electrics.

Nice car, otherwise. Six cylinders, overdrive (switch on dashboard). Pretty damned fast.

10. Very close but a touch older

This is actually an 1957 Austin-Healey 100-6 BN4 2+2 Roadster

Electrics plagued some makes in the '50s and '60s I believe. I recall some stories of Fiats with electrical issues catching fire in the dealership showrooms.

11. I owned two Brit sports cars.

1. Austin Healy Sprite. (AKA MG Midget) worked well. No synchro 1st gear made for interesting drive technique.

2. MGB GT -- nice looking, but an absolutely horrible car!

14. Did you have the "Buy eye" Sprite? Always liked those, even though I had a big Healey.

17. Not a bug eye. It was a good car, but the suspension went very bad.

And lever shocks were very expensive to replace (yet another horrible British idea), so I sold it.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

18. I remember from the '60s...

...it wasn't rare for manual trans cars to have 1st and reverse with no synchro.

15. I had one. It's electrics was positive ground or something opposite of the norm. Always had problems

after driving it at night.

[longship]

16. Yup! Who in the Sam Hell would build a car with positive ground?

That's right. The British!

And they drive on the left, too. Wacko!

[brush]

13. Now that's a car. I had a '63 3000 and have wanted another Healey since

I almost pulled the trigger on one last year but the price on them is very high now.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

19. Here's one:

Needs some work but affordable.

[Bob Loblaw]

12. Car-y McCarface

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

20. Some of us are too literal

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

21. Try another:

22. Lightning McTrump

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

23. Impossible! Not a Russian car.
