Guess the car

Postby **NarendZORCE** » May 12th, 2005, 5:23 pm

Yuh know at first I thought you were joking eh Dragist (were u?) but it's true...

It's a Ferrari 250 GT "Breadvan" - 1961

Here's the story behind serial No. 2819 GT: in 1961 Count Giovanni Volpi wanted to race a 250 GTO but Enzo Ferrari refused to sell him one. Se he took a 250 GT SWB and modified it to GTO specifications. At the same time he had Piero Drogo clothe it with a body designed by Giotto Bizzarrini and based on the aerodynamic theories of Dr. Wunibald Kamm. The car was 6 inches lower than a 250 GTO. In spite of a higher top speed, it was only moderately successful. Best placements were a 2nd at the 1961 Tour de France and a 3rd at the Monthlerey 1000-Kilometers. However, with its nickname "Breadvan" (Camionette in France), it became world famous.

Yup, it was a Morris Minor 1000. Series 2 to be exact. Here is my first car, a 1967 Minor.

i say XK

The S Type answer is close enough I guess. Its actually a Mk2. I'm not sure of the exact differences but this is what I found:

Also in 1963 the S-type saloon car was announced. This was a pleasing compromise between the Mark II and the Mark X in shape. Most importantly the S-type was given independent rear suspension and the S-type was offered with either the 3.4 or 3.8 litre engine.

Jaguar S type 4 door Saloon 1964-1968
Similar to MK2 with extra length and a bigger boot. Used to be said "MK2 front with MKX back".

I think the S Type was a heavier car too.

nah, none of the XK sportscars had foglights next to the grille: The 120 had a very narrow grille anyways....the 150 still did not have fogs as far as I can recall, thos that had aftermarket fogs had them outboard of the headlamps cuz the headlamps were too close to the grille to have fogs next to the grille too.....also the XKs had headlights above the horizontal centreline of the grille.....these lamps are below the centreline, further indicating that they are fogs..........if its not an S type, then definitely a Mk2......now that I think about it, the MK2 was mad in much greater numbers than the S type, so ods are its a Mk2 :shock:

yuh think is ah cortina?

damn now that i look at it, i was waaaaay off :oops:

the proximity of the headlights, not to mention the thick bridge running alone the center of the grill should have been dead indicators
