Gerard, Mon Ami, I told you he pictures were of a Hillman, Rolls Royce, Ginetta, and Riley! What I did not say was;

Imp, Ghost, Genie, and Sprite. Simples!!
You must get into the spirit of the game.

[John Elwin]

Surely the Genie was made by Gilbern, not Ginetta?

[Gerard C]

Please John, don't call him Shirley… By the way what happened to the Stutz?

[John Elwin]

Must have been spirited away...

[E.B]

Riley could have been an Imp as well

As noted in the 1st. post, at 87 you are allowed a few Senior Moments.

Anyway;

Where?

Who?

What?

When?

Why?

Bob, Gilbert the Gilbern is not a Genie, that was the later model with sharper squarer styling that looked like Michellotti could have designed it.. It's an 1800GT.

[John Elwin]

Quite David, & the Genie ultimately grew into the Invader which in turn spawned an Estate, a rival to the Scimitar GTE.

They are all very nice cars - I know, as a friend of mine has the full set, including a GT.

To continue Gilbern history, at the time the company expired there was an uncompleted prototype for a new model looking not unlike the Piper. It was bought by someone from Arras & after completion he brought it to the Arras Classic Show for his first-ever trip outside Great Britain!

I was not on the "spirit" line as I thought the Riley was a Lynx!

[bauble]

All this grousing and nitpicking is just sour grapes, attempts to justify, a complete lack of perception, imagination, deductive powers, and general bewilderment.

Water of a ducks back, Not a Gene, Lynx, Stutz, for goodness sake get a grip, I refuse to accept any blame.

So Yah, Boo, Sucks to the lot of you.

Minister for Quiz setting.

PS: I'll try and do better in the future

Roger Wills giving his best Stalin impression.

I, silly me, thought the IMP would be the clue, when matched with Ghost, leading people down the right path to a Gilbern named Genie etc.

Unfortunately many take the images too literally. Would I be expected to have an intimate knowledge of some rather obscure moor car?

But everything is easy when you are setting the quiz - well you think it is. Still the latest posting does not put a name to any of the pictures, so no excuses.

Let's have some answers..

[Gerard C]

If someone is able to find a direct logical and obvious link between Kubota/Silverstone and Morgan SLR/ Goodwood, I bet we'll have found the weirdo of the year!

[Peter Mallett]

Except (and I stand to be corrected) that particular SLR is a Triumph TR4.

[Gerard C]

You won't be corrected, Peter, its what you say.

Not quite right, technically speaking, so it still leaves room for others to get right.

Gerard, there is no ink between the pictures, they are all individual questions.

Do pay attention!

Were you able to read the letters on the rear side window of the car, you see
I A N A B M Which s short for "I am not a Bl**dy Morgan" .

John Sprinzel and Chris Lawrence were the creators of the SLR name, their first SLR was the car pictured and based on a Triumph TR2, three later models used a Morgan chassis, and all three are still active today, the red car owned by Simon Orebi Gann, was often driven by Mike Bell.*

So the correct answer is the Triumph based SLR..

* Mike at the wheel.

[bauble]

It seems that most only tackle the simple puzzles. So;

Who do you know?

No, but I recall speaking to the owners at Silverstone last year. It's a family thing. Thought it may be a TR2 but plumped for the later 4 when I wrote that post.
