The Numbers Game

[moffspeed]

It might look like a pimped up Mk3 Cortina but it's the under-rated (IMHO) 1968 Mercury Montego.

116 ? Oh right, it had a wheelbase of 116".

in no particular 'numbers' order (above is Ginetta G2)



Ginetta G10 Coupe the 'only (road going) one built (LHD) .

dandarez my old buddy, the rules are that the numbers need to be sequential rather than random. I'll help you out this once…

Ensign N181 :



next …any Clio fans ?


..if we exclude micro cars, bubble cars and 3 wheelers I reckon we're just over 1/2 way to our first "proper" car engine cc - the Honda N360 at 354.

Uncanny.. just about to post this . MG produced 4 EX182 chassis for Le Mans '55 - 3 raced whilst this is the spare in "lowlight" form pictured
in 1958.

We did something similar to this thread a few years ago https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Got as high as 888, but that included a lot of tractors.....

Oops, wasn't aware of that but let's see how far we can climb this time, Peugeot 183…

Jaguar only produced 195 right hand drive XK120 fhc's.

196…what else other than…

[moffspeed]

You've got it..

Now for 199.5 :

A few years ago you could pick one of these up for a few bob.

Unfortunately people began to realise that it is rather a good car, solid money now :

A run of 3 Peugeots now - 203, 204 and the wonderful 205GTI :



I don't think the Pug 206 has quite reached classic status as yet so we need an alternative 206...

The sublime:

Ferrari Dino 206 SP :

- to the ridiculous.

As a BRM enthusiast this one pains me to this day. BRM's last gasp P207 "Stanley Steamer".

Only qualified for one GP during the 1977 season and even then it was 7 seconds off the pace. Did not arrive for the Argentinian GP - as it was too wide to fit in the hold of the cargo plane transporting the F1 cars from Europe.

It then competed in the British (Aurora) F1 series - to be fair it did sound glorious (but that's about it).

There was a board for that one too :

The flat-twin, air-cooled Type 247 engine as introduced by BMW in 1973.

As the OP I will casually oversee this thread. A baling machine with a flat tyre will not cut the mustard.

So I will retrospectively insert, without reparations, a Citroen DS as entered in the ill-fated 1957 Mille Miglia.

One to test Moffspeed's patience.....

Nope that's fine by me. Anything measured in hp/BHP will do the job.

Power outputs in kWh should be confined to light bulbs/ fridges etc and certainly not automobiles.
