Name That Car
- Thread starter Keith1
- Start date
and of course, a lot newer....
It's GOT to be the silly season, right Jim? OK I've got loads more pics, but if you'd rather guess aeroplanes so be it. Personally I'm not too good with hairyplanes.
Anyway, Pic 1 = Piper GT from 1968 and Pic 2 of course is our very old friend the GTD R42 - sexy though...
Here's number 3.
I'll make it easy for you Jim...as most of them will be purely British but maybe there's another strain in this one..
The clue is in the hood emblem....

Mention of the Mini Gem triggered a recent memory.
Amongst other things, I engrave compliance plates for strange vehicles as they pass through the (Australian Capital Territory) registration system.
A recent customer was a young man who was running the last yards towards rego on a 1969 Mini Gem. This car had certainly started to be assembled in 1969, but having passed through something like 8 subsequent owners, without achieving rego, the powers that be had decided that this vehicle should be treated as a 2010 build.
The poor bugger was being leant on to achieve 2010 emission levels with a 1969 BMC A series motor!
Fortunately some semblence of reason was finally discovered by the authorities, and rego ensued. The man is now the (very) proud owner of a very rare car, and he is commended for showing it at the various shows.

Interesting story Clive.. some people raced the Minigem here with great success and it went like stink for it's engine power using the Cooper 'S' variant powerplant taken out to 1400cc which I believe was the biggest you could go.
Of course Marcos was a very respected car maker here at the time and I believe they are still making the Marcos Mantis (Manta Ray?) in Holland!
Anyway, come on - No. 4! Clue: 1959

A white Unipower sat in a backyard of a home near mine for years in the late 70s...I always intended to "stop and ask" but one day it was gone. I mean, what are the odds? Not may built and how many ever made it to the US much less Western New York? Ah well, you snooze, you lose.......
