Brand that Cardle wanted on the fifth attempt. All guesses on point.

Badge on the bonnet looks like a red bull above 2-3 wavy blue lines to me.

Thinking of it as a red cow helps and you can almost read the name

It's an ox walking across the river Isis.

[mcpoot]

Three today and no red cows or ox in sight

[ClaphamGT3]

In three today

[Ron240]

In 3 when I seen the headlight.
I would have got it in 2 if I seen the trade mark rear wing, but for some reason this car does not have it.
I will simply not believe anybody who says they got it in one.

I thought I was spot on after the second crop. I got it three after the third crop.

Clues are windscreen rake, colour and mirror shape. A previous owner could get it in one. I guess if you know them there may be a clue in the shape in the rear, top corner of the door glass.

I've assumed we all get the same crops, as I've asked a friend to look at Cardle and it's given them a completely different crop, in that case the Ghostbusters Cadillac ambulance which enabled them to get it in one.

So what was your guess on the second crop?
Like I said on 2 you would expect to see the factory fitted rear wing which would make it obvious...but its not there.

You cite colour as a clue in crop 1, but white is not one of the more popular colours for this car.
Windscreen rake is IMO far too specific and nerdy to be a realistic clue on the first crop. Windscreen rake is hard enough to positively identify on a full image (Audi Sport Quattro for example) never mind a small cropped photo. I will give you the door mirror shape though.
I am not even going to go there concerning the shape of the top corner of the door glass from within the first crop.

I still believe nobody genuinely and honestly gets this in 1.

[son-of-alf]

"Just in time", had to wait for the badge.

[Puddenchucker]

Three.
It may have been two, but I was I expecting something British as usual.

[AC43]

Recognised something in the 3rd crop but couldn't quite place it. Got in on the 4th.

[Diderot]

In four.

But in crop 5 there was an Eagle (at least that was the answer given in a pub quiz asking which car manufacturer has an eagle as its badge, and refusing my answer of Adler, which is German for eagle )

Anyway, I've just gone back to Cardle to copy the photo and the answer gives the name but no photo, as shown here :-

No problem, just a minor irritation, as we have the link to Wikimedia of course.

Well, is today's car a one-off, or are we into another run of non-British cars again?

Sunday in 1

[dbdb]

In two for me for Sunday.

[CanAm]

Back to normality, a 1 for me too.

[Martin350]

A one for me today (despite Cardle's spelling error!).

[LuS1fer]

One. A generous slice of custard.

[Dan_H]

One for me also.

[mcpoot]

One here too
