This has gone a bit quiet - hope Michael is OK

About as fast as a BMW 2002tii from fifteen years earlier and with nasty torque steer into the bargain. No thanks!☺️

Seems suspiciously easy but PM sent anyway!

It's interesting if not a great surprise that Ferdinand Porsche who created the VW Beetle was chief engineer at Daimler-Benz between 1923 and 1928 when these Mercedes were under development.

Got it! Thanks Michael, one of the best quizzes so far!

I got as far as knowing it was some sort of Dodge Dart spinoff but couldn't get the specifics!

It's a Photoshop MKIV Le Grande!🤣 Well I know it's not photoshopped but it sure looks like it!

Bingo!

This is one I recognise, although I sort of wish I didn't...

I agree about the Vallelunga, just a shame the engine was the rather dull 1.5 litre Kent 4-pot! This was a great challenge - I did think DKW at one point (for the rear 2-stroke engine) - as well as Lancia (for the front end) but credit to those who got this one. Just shows that for me some of the best quizzes are the ones I don't know!

Spot on, Pat - it does look like a classic Photoshop, the front half of one car and the back half of another. But I've no doubt it is real.

Fascinating, it looks so familiar and I can see a few styling cues but I still can't find it. I'm looking forward to finding out! I like it😕
