I’ll take the Delage [emoji813]️

 

Probably....

 

Pinched off Silver.
Easy quiz for those whom know their cars...and sometimes pretty insulting but there are a couple or so curveballs.
For the record a Pom (bluebottle) and meself were the first to score 100 patcent.

100 patcent.

 

40/40, but guessed a pile of them. And looked up 2 - that's not cheating (it's a Lotus thing).

 

40/40 - what were the curveballs?

 

.and a couple of the yankee stuff I had to have a closer look at.

Edit for the bloody obvious as II gave the answer away.

 

Some had impossible alternatives, and some you could read the badge.

 

I suppose I'd picked the car in about 98 patcent prior to scrolling to the choices,some of the yank stuff being the exception.

 

34/40 which is not a bad effort, considering I’m so young…

 

You owe me a new keyboard

 

So totally NOT a proper enthusiast,thank goodness the Ashes are on tonight otherwise we'd have to roast you all night on here.

Even the bloody yanks all did better than that.

What did you get wrong:
Lambo Miura,Porsche 911 Carrera,TVR,De Tomaso,Rolls Royce, VW Golf?

 

Sad eh!

 

As I now own a manual sports car, I am by definition an enthusiast.

Im just not an old enthusiast…

 

Pretty much every sh*tbox 'murican car.

 

This one is an amount more difficult:
