CARDLE - Daily Car Quiz, Vol.2 (No Spoilers Please)

[CanAm]

A technical 1 for me today, but it was a lucky guess and wasn't even the full answer! Crop 2 is a giveaway and my first guess of the model, though incorrect, would have been acceptable to Cardle. I don't think any of the crops give enough to definitely identify the full model name as I think the difference is only the size of the boot, but I'd probably have gone for that as my third attempt, so I'm claiming a moral 3 or 4.

[LuS1fer]

Skipped.

[mcpoot]

Don't know why j bothered

[Mark-C]

Make in two, Answer in Three.

Not the whole answer but Cardle was happy to accept what I put.

I help out in a charity bookshop one day a week, so if anybody want to buy a pictorial encyclopaedia of British cars, reach out to me (as they say these days).

Or indeed 'hit me up'.
Certainly not a phrase that would be used by people who frequent this thread...not even by the 50 somethings who masquerade as 80 somethings.

That's a new one on me. I'm sure it would have had a different meaning in my younger days. Still, every generation has had its own language to distance itself from the previous generation.

The words Reach Out should only ever be followed by I'll Be There as per the Four Tops 1966 classic

The last crop contains a clue to differentiate the Cardle car from its sister model. The air intake grilles with V motifs were only fitted to the V8 engined Majestic Major. Though if you were enough of an aficionado to know that, you d probably have guessed the model before then.

It's so obvious when you know that salient point. I'll remember that for next time! I only knew the big bum. But my VERY lucky guess saved me.

And for anyone who s been inspired by Wednesday s car, one has popped up for sale on FB Marketplace for 500 quid - very crusty, though.

Thursday - make and model in 1, but acceptable format of model designation in 2.

Three correct answers. Didn't get Cardle answer.

Me too.

I don't think it should be a grammar test!
