Guess the Vehicle

[wasarangie]

Yeah P76 V8 engine in my first Range Rover and a 6 cylinder in my Austin Kimberly. Funny the front wheels would spin at anything over 1/2 throttle take off. Both engines were a very easy fit.

I think it was one of the first Alloy V8's made. I remember the launch documentary they made for it when they released it in Australia. It was an entirely new way to launch a car back in those days.

Of course LOL. The (in)famous P76. I had one of the Super 6 series, and apart from one major fault, it was one of the all-round best vehicles I've owned..... if you stood next to it on a quiet night, you could actually hear it rusting. Most of its most vocal detractors never owned one though.

Next on the list and as well-known—for a lot of similar reasons—as the P76;


(Incidentally, I should've mentioned that reverse image searching on Google kinda defeats the challenge.)

I think it's a Zeta, made by the Lightburn washing machine mob in South Australia.

Yep, the washing machine on wheels. Could go forwards or rearwards at the flick of a switch LOL.

I can see we need to up the degree of difficulty here...

(Anybody else wanna give us a few more pics?)

[old Jack]

What happened to the photo of the Honda engine in the red car ?
My guess is a Honda Scamp.

cheers, OJ.

[old Jack]

Ok this will test everyone.

Triumph mayflower or an early Bentley.

Here is one

My guess is that the "Flash" engine belongs to a Simca Aronde built by Chrysler in Adelaide around about 1960 to 1964. From memory about 1290 ccs.

Once you got past the horrible cream plastic instrument panel, quite a nice little car. There are still a few running around Adelaide some of which occasionally come out for the "Bay to Birdwood" classic car run.

Definitely a Triumph Mayflower!

Correct Triumph Mayflower.

I'm having trouble with copying the photo into this post, but I think the little green car is a 1920s Morgan 3 wheeler - however I have never seen that body before. As a Morgan it would be front wheel drive with a two cylinder V engine - probably a JAP - providing the motive force.
