Saab or Volvo ?

Dunno - but rad design should ensure frost-free windscreen, so yes could be Scandinavian/

I think its a volvo... I can see the pic of one in my mind, but cant think what it is

i know the answer as i was there with roger when the photo was taken so im not going to say

Post by **polo2k** » Mon May 05, 2008 10:10 pm

my guess would be either french or saab.
im not certain on the saab because of the 4 plug leads and wern`t they obsessed with 2 stroke twin cylinder engines around then?

no where near so far!

Well at first I thought Jowett Jupiter but the side lights are not right and then I thought Borgward Issabelle but the engine is not right.

I think it's Italian. Lancia, Fiat?

Post by **RogerRust** » Tue May 06, 2008 8:38 pm

no one has got it yet.

A clue may be gained by looking at the size of the standard radiator cap and comparing it with the size of the engine!

Someone is getting close!

Is it a three wheeler - it looks to be very narrow at the back like a Morgan.

Post by **Kevin** » Tue May 06, 2008 9:58 pm

No its definately a 4 wheeler if I am correct.

Post by **RogerRust** » Tue May 06, 2008 10:19 pm

And yes Kevin is right!

Its a Fiat500 C Topolino

like this one.

I had to hunt the pic down on google because I forgot to take a full size pic of the car at Shuttleworth!

Awww! I was so close! Strangly enough it was the oil filler cap that provided the clue for me - nut it was something about the styling not the size.
