Name The Car

[Brett]

Come on Mr Jinx...

[jinx]

Too obvious probably...well it is once you know what it is (That\'s a clue)

[KenD]

Looks very much like the Allard Clipper?

[Brett]

Looks like an accident in the 2CV factory?

:Giggle:Giggle

No idea what that thing is, but it\'s one of the ugliest things I\'ve seen

Did Noddy\'s car have a collision with a Reliant Robin?

[jinx]

Well done Ken D - only right in the circumstances - one Clipper for another!  

I have a collection of ads from the fifties which invest small cars with additional scale.  There\'s a Morris Minor advert on my office wall in which the parents clearly risk losing their two kids due to the cavernous interior but the Clipper\'s ad is just mental.  Unlike other Allards this thing was tiny. Think about the size of a standard number plate then contrast it with the scale of the driver shown in the ad. LOL!

[KenD]

Thanks jinx.  
Yes I recall my Dad collected a lot of 50\'s advertising stuff and I know exactly what you mean.  Today of course we have grown use to capacious interiors even on what are relatively small cars - there again cars have grown somewhat in size - Fiat 500 is a case in point!

Here\'s the next one to think about:

[Brett]

Looks slightly Romanian?

[KenD]

Not from Romania Brett.

Is it a Wartberg ?

[KenD]

Is it a Wartberg ?

Yes, it is indeed a Wartburg - going to name the model?

[re japi]

Damn, i know that. Wargburg 353! Looks like 80´s model because it has black plastic bumbers

That\'ll do nicely - it is the Wartburg 353 from former East Germany. A production run of over 1 million cars in a 22 year period.  And surprisingly good performance for a 3 cylinder 55 bhp engine.

Well GSB got us to Wartburg but you finished the job, so over to you re japi.
