TooTall is closest so far, some of his answer hinting towards the truth. Country is correct, time frame is off but not by much and none of the manufacturers mentioned are correct.

I keep seeing Marcos in there - with a hint of Lotus.

OK, got it! 1954 Bristol 450 Le Mans. They built both a coupe and an open car so the photo may be of either. The alloy wheel threw me, it made me think '60s. What finally rang the bell was the hood scoop. The cars I mentioned, MG, Healey, (English) Ford, all used inline engines that had carbs hung off the side so if they had a hood scoop it was usually offset. The Bristol engine (based on the pre-war BMW engine) had a very unusual head design that used downdraft carbs on top of the engine so the carbs, and hence the hoodscoop was inline with the center of the engine.

I think you got it! But the hood scoop looks offset to me.:cool:

I have it as the Arnolt-Bristol 450 Le Mans, but that's nitpicking as there's not exactly a whole lot of Bristol 450 LMs. :)
Brilliant deductioning as well!

I got one. Found this little beauty on a street shoot yesterday. I don't know the year but I think it's a 92. First time I've seen one and I really liked the design style. It's kind of a design cross between the Avanti and the Flintstones car.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but you posted out of turn. Did you read the rules regarding posting. It is TooTall's turn.

Probably really easy for some of you?

Out of turn also. Not being the police, but the purpose of the game is to follow the rules. Don't post anything till TooTall has posted or passed on his place to share an image.

Wrap on the knuckles duly felt...:D

Didn't notice whose 'turn' it was - just saw the next image, knew the answer and figured it was then my turn...;)

I've now removed my image and await TooTall's input.

As you were guys.....
