I will get the ball rolling. Winner gets the honour of posting the next picture.

Who produced this prototype in the '70's?

Spot on with Vauxhall! No idea what it might have been called, shame it never got produced. And the honour falls to you to post a picture challenge.

1. No Googling.
2. No little blue cars turning a corner in London next to a bus.
3. No biting no gouging.
4. No entries so fiendishly rare that only the builder and god would recognise.
5. Cueto's foot was not in touch.

I'm not a Lotus expert but am I not correct in saying that it is an Elan?

Try this one.

The red one is a 308.

The Mr Whippy is a Sprinter

The yellow one, I don't know.

You haven't met Equus, have you? He has a database of 70s and 80s concept cars.

B-: must try harder.
Heck, and I only just finished the Gilbern book and there is a whole chapter on this car!

Going back to the Can-Am series here is the Mk1 AVS Shadow.

Imagine someone strapping a big block Chevy onto your back and then suspending a 10 inch front wheel off each of your ankles - that's about it.[url]

I don't know what it is but I applaud you for posting, it looks quite bonkers, not sure what use that little screen would have been. I would love to have been a fly on the wall when the driver was first introduced to it!

Err, other than the fact that the name is hidden away on the rear wing!

As the horn is the biggest button it must have been designed for one of the counties where horns are used more than indicators. Dash trim could do with a finish too!

Because the car was widened during a late phase in its development. The bumper 'extension' piece was also useful to accommodate the starting handle hole.
On a related note, could someone explain to me why the 110 Defender went right through it's production life with a row of unpainted rivets on each side?

Love it, no idea of which model it is mind you. Where was the picture taken? That is some expanse of concrete!

It is, of course, The Bertone Alfa Romeo Navajo, based on Alfa Tipo 33 mechanicals.

It seems inconceivable, these days, that anyone would butcher a Tipo 33 Stradale - high on the list of the most beautiful cars ever built - to create a concept car.

I did quite like the earlier Tipo 33-based Carabo, though. boxedin
What movie was this in?
