    Don't recognize it off-hnd, but if you can tell us where and when the photo was taken, we might be able to figure it out.

    It looks like Switzerland and the car looks vaguely familiar. Is it some sort of Lancia Aprilia spider?

    In the start list it's described as a Fiat Barchetta 1949 driven by Gianni Marconato and Luigi Bellon

    That car is a Bond Equipe -- a mid-to-late-sixties version known as the GT4S. It is a British car which is powered by a Triumph Spitfire engine.

    Always thought these were kinda neat... styling like a miniature luxury GT car.

    The front end looks like a Lambo 400 series......but I can see the Triumph body in the rear.

    Interesting car....

    A Bond Equipe with left-hand-drive? That's got to be a real rarity.

    Honestly, I have no idea... I doubt there are many at all in the U.S. -- they only made around 500 or so, if memory serves. If I had to take a complete stab in the dark, I'd say value might be around $10-12k in the U.S. fully restored. Remember, they're based on pretty humble underpinnings... I base my guess on the value of a restored Spitfire or Herald and maybe add a few grand for the rarity.

    Has anyone ever heard of a Dickie? Or is it dicky. I am not sure on the spelling. I believe a vehicle from the mid to late 50s. Have a client that wants to sell it but I cant seem to find anything on the Internet about it....

    I'm not familiar with any car by that name, but there was an endless number of fiberglass-bodied kit cars available during that era. Could be one of these. Do you know anything else about the car other than the name? Sports car? Convertible?

    I got this photo at a yard sale today for .25 cents. The one car looks like a special body Lancia. The car in the back on jacks looks like a Mondail or a Maserati 200S. Any clues?
