2015 Name That Car Game

[mender]

Mk1 Sierra?

[Wile7]

Mid range American? 1987 Ford Fairmont or possibly Mustang?

It's that grill.....I thought (as above) XR4i but that grill is not right...

Hmmm.......

[camelspyyder]

both on the right track - what model of Sierra?

[mender]

Is it a Ghia or Cosworth with an aftermarket grille for foglights?

[Wile7]

I think mender is on the right track - cosworth 3 door with after market grill (RS accessory range of the period or something)

[camelspyyder]

Nope - its a Ford factory model.

 

 

I thought I'd tortured you enough with unremembered Japanese junk, BMC cars rebodied in Italy, and rare postwar Germans and Yanks, so I thought a relatively modern Ford was in effect throwing everyone a bone

I've said XR4i (v6) so the only other model I can think of that had that grill was the South African only market XR8?

We have a winner.

 

5 door Sierra with the Ford XR4i / Merkur XR4Ti (why didn't I post that instead?) biplane rear wing - and, as you noticed, lots of extra holes in the front to cool the Mustang V8.

 

[camelspyyder]

Now I've done some research I think I want it's predecessor the Cortina XR6.

 

 

That badboy has a triple webber Essex V6 with near on 160bhp.

[Wile7]

Excellent - a rapid and forgotten fast Ford....

Here you go. Try this

Didn't they produce the Savage V6 mk3 after the 1600e based savage cortina as well?

[camelspyyder]

Savage was a UK converted product from Race Proved Ltd run by Jeff Uren.  The XR6 (a lot rarer than the Mk2 Savages but not the Mk3) is a Ford factory product.

Your picture looks like it could be a Ferrari 250 GT coupe (around about 1958 - Pininfarina) or a 410 Superamerica S3

[camelspyyder]

or is it maybe...and I havent checked this one... A Gordon-Keeble?

Edited 17 May, 2015 by camelspyyder

[camelspyyder]

Both guesses wrong I think - neither has those external boot hinges and the glass is all wrong for the GK.

 

 

 

In fact the glass is so wrong I think it's probably a hardtop disguising a convertible.  Back to the drawing board...

 Citroen DS Coupe GT 19 ?

[Wile7]

Blimey.....I had hoped folk would have been slightly fooled by the glass and rear lights as per CamelSpyyder

Yes - Citroen DS 19 GT. one of 12. Very unusual.

Your go Lesmond

[lesmond]

I used to own one of these

[Wile7]

Ford Granada Scorpio or Cosworth?

[lesmond]

Correct Wile7  :clap:  Ford Scorpio 24v Estate Ultima

 

Maybe that was to easy
