OK after the challenges of the Christmas Quiz a bit of harmless fun for the New Year. A rolling sequence of numbers relating to classic road/racing cars. Anything that legitimately relates to a specific car. Maybe type numbers eg Rover 75, Ferrari 599. Engine spec eg 848(cc). Race numbers eg Gilles’ 27 or Moss’ 723. Anything goes.

Obviously it’s easy early on but it’ll get trickier.

So : Old Number 1
Escort Mk2
Bond Bug 3 wheeler.
4 cylinder A Series engine.
Renault 5.
6 wheeled Tyrrell.
Lotus 7.

So we start at 8, numbers need to be sequential so you can’t jump ahead to 4727 or whatever….

Can we draw a veil over Renaults 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and go straight to a Lotus 22?

Lotobear - this is a sequential quiz and not a traditional H pattern quiz so you can’t skip any gears. So we’re back to the mid 20’s ! I must admit Lotuses are the quickest way to 100 - but I’m sure the H-16 was a type 43.

I didn’t think things would advance this quickly and had planned my own No 16. The unforgettable Tom Pryce.
