People always reckon that the opening credits of "The Sweeney" show a Mark 1 Granada pursuing a Mark 2 Jag - but it's a Consul GT pursuing an S-type. (The classic "bank-robbers get-away car" - the Mark 2 Jag - is actually a rare sight in "The Sweeney": The villains' Jags were always S-types or the even more desirable Series 1 XJ6.)
Plus the Rover 3500 p5 (as in the photo) was the four door saloon version, the Coupe was a sleeker two door version and streets sexier than the more pedestrian four door saloon. and No 9 was a Marcos 1600 gt, No 16 was a Marcos 3000 gt........and the Guy's name was JEM Marsh not JIM.
@@usernamesreprise4068 The Rover P5 was never a two-door model. What distinguished the Coupé from the saloon, was the lower roof line, together some other cosmetic changes.
15) That a Wolseley 6/90. Production ended in 1959. It was the vehicle of choice for the Metropolitan Police Force. The Riley Two-point-Six was its sportier sister. When it was replaced by the PininFarina designed 6/99
The first photo of the Marcos was definitely not a Mini Marcos but the same Marcos as shown later on. I had a mini marcos body shell in the early 80s but was too young to appreciate it for what it was so never built it which is a shame now i look back.
The Mini Marcos had a short wheelbase, so suited a Mini doner car. Marcosses & Ginettas could be had as kit cars, or produced vehicles. Corgi made a model of the Mini Marcos which had fold down jacks & wheels you could change. - I had it too...
I got all the makes correct but believe the model designation left something to be desired. A good example was the Wolseley Six. I always knew it as the 6/90, followed by the 6/99 and then 6/110. Much beloved by the British Metropolitan Police.
Often difficult to identify the exact model from the photos. I remember the Wolsley 6/90 (Six cyl 90 bhp) and even ran a V Tess in 1966-8 though Standard Triumph called it a Vitesse.
The Wolseley Six was based on the Wolseley 18/85 itself based on the Austin/Morris 1800 a much later cars than the 6/90 pictured which was superseded by the big Farina 6/99 and later 6/110 which I owned back in the day.
Sorry, I'm a sad, 72-yr-old British car nut who collects and has collected brochures from way back in the 60's and I got 100%. That's no big deal, as my wife told me, 'cos I'm so sad!!!!!!
I must be "sad" also, I:m 70 and had lots of British and Australian car brochures and some American ones too, but lost them in an earthquake in 2011 (Christchurch New Zealand). I only got one wrong and two I had to wait for the names to come up and none of the three came to NZ.
@alangood8190: yes indeed! Check out the new quiz for another stroll down memory lane... do you remember these ones ua-cam.com/video/WTbBn0JHdIU/v-deo.html
12) Vauxhall PA Cresta introduced in 1957. Very rare. As the British GM division's accountants bought really cheap steel, that rusted away with in 3 years. This false economy would haunt the Vauxhall marque until the mid 1980's. In fact most people preferred its German sister Opel, because of it. NB. Vauxhall made the worlds first ever sports car (fast road car. Not a race car) the Prince Henry (C-10) of 1910.
There was white Series V Sunbeam Alpine roadster in the Michael Caine film Get Carter 1971. It ended up in the River Tyne with a gangsters moll in the boot. NVK620F 67/68.
The answer isn't claiming it's a GTE - it's correctly captioned as a GT. They are wrong saying that Princess Anne had one of those. She did have a GTE.
@Nooziterp1 : That is correct, the next quizzes will not be so easy, we had to set the bar straight for starters :) So stay tuned for our next challenges!

Looks like I'm a relative youngster here at 61 but A lot of the more popular cars in this list I've seen in various banger races and other car shows (obviously I've not seen any fibreglass cars in banger racing besides Reliant three wheelers such as the Regal, Robin and Rialto!)
Wasn't too sure on the Alvis, thought it may have been a Bristol. I got all of the others though. I agree with martinr6298 about the Marcos mistakes though. Oh and mk is "mark" (not "em kay") as in Ford Cortina Mk2, or mark 2, as it was the second design in the family of Cortinas over the years.
Happy memories! As a car-loving baby boomer, I got all of these right. I owned a MK2 Cortina, P5b Rover, Triumph Vitesse MkIi. My brother had a Wolseley 6/80 and also a Marcos 3 litre ( which he wrote off on a London roundabout). Bought them all very cheap....and of course let them all go cheaply too. If only......
As an old Aussie I guessed most of the popular mass produced ones , most of the fibreglass sports I was totally unfamiliar with. I never realised you guys had so many car models. My old man had Vauxhall similar to the cresta , mum had a 67 cortina with the round tail lights it was a 440 but had a GT engine in it. I had a morris 1100 , a 68 mini 1000 , I also had a 68 cd cortina 2 door and a sedan I gutted to put a 3.0 litre six in but ran out of coin. I like those old cars , they had character, unlike the plastic fantastics throw aways we have today. Good quiz by the way.
@mikldude9376: thanks for your comment! Your family had alot of the well-known classics!! I agree, they did had character! Check if you can also recognize the sports cars in our other quiz ;)
9) Marcos GT. It was available with a Ford Kent straight 4 engine in 1500, 1600, 1650. Volvo B18 1800. Ford Essex V4 2000, Volvo B30 3000, Ford Essex V6 3000 and Triumph 2 1/2 Litre straight 6 engine. In 1981, Marcos was relaunched with slightly modified chassis & body, but additional engine option that could be fitted, included the Ford Pinto 2.0 Litre, and Ford Cologne V6 in 2.3 Litre & 2.8 Litre.
Got two wrong mainly because I couldn’t afford one at the time so why knock yourself out over it ! Always wanted a Healy 3000 ? But settled for a M G B GT
91 points, but it's pretty unfair to be expected to know the individual TVR models, some of which had a run of a few hundred. Number 9 is a Marcos 3-litre, not a Mini-Marcos; Number 11 is a Reliant Scimitar GT, but your text referred to the more renowned GTE; Number 14 is a Wolseley 6/90 produced from 1954 - 1959. The Wolseley Six is a much later model and mechanically unrelated to the 6/90. Why do you give ratings only up to 50 points? 20 x 5 = 100.
18) TVR 2500 (only around from 1970 to 1972) it was known as the 2500 Vixen in the USA. It then became the 2500M in 1972 with its improved Chassis and other modifications. Under the skin its a Triumph TR6.
The Marcos at Q9 is not a mini Marcos, but a Marcos 1800 or 3 litre. Which had either a Volvo inline 4 or Ford V6 respectively. The 1100 at Q10 is a Morris not BMC, the ADO16 models all had brand badges, not the BMC group designation. The Scimitar at Q11 is a GT, (and there was no "S4" in the GT designations) not the GTE, beloved of Princess Anne and is a coupe, not a hatchback. The Wolseley at Q15 is a 50s model 6/99 not a "Wolseley Six" which was a 60s development of the popular BMC 1800 series known to it's fans as the "landcrab". Not a bad quiz apart from the 4 almost indistinguishably different TVR models. But I had no real problem achieving 100 pts, I'm a TVR fan! I was sad not to see a real Bond Equipe after it appeared in so many questions!
I am 80 and got them all. It is sad to think that we used to have so many car manufacturers and now have only a few small ones. Our youngsters have missed out.
8) Daimler Majestic Major, fitted with a 4561cc Hemi V8 engine, a larger version of the, 2548cc fitted in the SP250 Dart & Jaguar Mk2 bodied, 2.5 V8 & V8-250. When Jaguar bought Daimler, they put this engine, designed by Edward Turner into the Jaguar Mk10 for test. The car ran around the Mira track at 133mph without a problem, non stop for hours. But it was killed off as Jaguar wanted to develop the V12 for Motor Racing. Also, Lyons took it personally that this V8 engine was better than Jaguar's XK engine. The Daimler (of Great Britain) marque was killed off in 2009 after Tata (the owners of Jaguar Land Rover) lost a Trademark case in New York. So the when the Super Eight X358 model, finished production in 2009, no new Daimler version was created for of the X351 model, which was only available as a Jaguar XJ. **** Ratan Tata, the previous chairman of Tata, wanted to restore Daimler to its status of British luxury manufacturer. And intended that unique bodywork & body styles would be used once again. Many Indian Maharajas and Princes, during British rule (The British Raj), owned Daimler cars during this period. And in modern India, their is much admiration of classic British luxury of Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lagonda, Armstrong Siddeley, Alvis, Sunbeam, Humber and Wolseley. Daimler of Great Britain provided, the State Limousine for the Monarch, from 1901 until 1952. Tellingly, Daimler-Benz, the holding company of Mercedes-Benz, now uses the "Daimler" name on it USA only Heavy Trucks. Effectively grinding Gottlieb Daimler's name into the mud, while elevating Wilhelm Maybach.
6) Rover P5B Coupe or Rover 3 1/2 Litre Coupe. The correct term from this body style is actually Berline (as opposed to Berlina which equals Sedan / Saloon). The VW Passat CC of 2008 - 2017, and Mercedes-Benz CLS (C219 of 2004-2010,& C218 2010-2017) are modern interpretation of this body style.
19/20. lots of lovely memories - especially the TVRs and Marcoses...... One of my schoolmates came to school in a Daimler 420, the Mayor Oldhams' official car. 1-4-3 forever Madge....Ford Transits ruled...Great quiz guys...
The Vauxhall PA Series finished in 1962, so this is NOT a 1963 model, in 1963 the PB series was introduced. The car in the picture is an early straight grille with Lollipop rear lights and 3 piece rear windows. This would be the start of the PA range from 1957 to 62. These cars rotted for fun even in the showrooms, they have a reputation for it.
Dang, I only got 15 right. Not well up on the racing car types. My sister’s mother and father in law who lived across the road had a Vauxhall Cresta, so couldn’t get that wrong. 😂 If ever I have the money I’d love a Daimler. Not looking good yet though. We can all dream. 😂
13) Daimler Sovereign. Code name XJ16. A Jaguar Mk10 style front was grafted onto a Jaguar S-Type. This was the start of badge engineered Daimlers. Sadly the Daimler 4.6 Litre V8 was not fitted.
7) TVR Griffith 200, but it was a TVR Grantura body in which Jack Griffith shoehorned the Ford HiPo 289ci V8, that kicked out 271bhp. Carrol Shelby never shared the upgrade that could increase the power to 306bhp, as in the Shelby Ford Mustang GT350
I don't know which 94% that failed this test came from, but this was not a very difficult test if I can get 100% right and I don't consider myself an expert..
Multiple choice 15 out 20 guess right away 12 out of 20 the more sporty was harder bigger more and expensive got them from old tv born 1962 i did think a ford zephyr there was one like it my first shout then got it but the 2 seaters was harder
17) Ginetta G21. Available with either the Sunbeam Rapier's straight 4 in Holbay H120 tune of 1725cc, or more likely the Ford Essex V6 3.0 Litre engine.
Quite right, definitely not a Mini Marcos. The shown is a 2litre. The 3litre had a big power bulge on the bonnet to accommodate the Ford V6. The 2 litre was either a Ford V4 or a Volvo. The earliest version (which this one is not) used a Ford 1600.
all but one correct the Marcos gt . i thought could have been ginetta . 80 year old and still a car nut .. current favourite is a Perodua Kelisa gt .. and my new Kia Picanto a super economical 3 cylinder petrol 1100 km so far and best economy 88mpg pussy footing around over 50km journeys .drives like a go kart . I was 1980 Donnington One litre Gt championship class winner .using my own fabricated ground effects chassis and own modified one litre hillman imp motor mid engined I regularly lapped the whole field down to second place .. Protested regularly My ground effects were awesome . insane cornering speeds and suicidal late braking ability ..
I had a 1500 GT with twin choke Webber and tubular manifolds with a cherry bomb exhaust Ported and polished head and manifold High lift camshaft Lowering blocks on the back and spring clamps on the front Wide wheels spacers It looked the dogs nuts in br green with black interior
Glad you also spotted it was a Morris; the Austin version had a wavy grille. I crashed a couple of these as an Austin apprentice. We had to move some to rectification that were missing parts from the assembly lines, from seats to brake master cylinders, hence the crashes! 🤫
I should have said that the current love of my life is a 1976 Hillman Imp Caledonian; fully specced, but with a 998cc lump, and Heron cams and twin CD175 Stromberg carbs, plus a few other extras, so she goes like stink and drives beeeaauuutifully🥰
Stopped once they showed a picture of the Ford Granada while saying it was a Coritina in question 1. Not much point in going on if they don't know what they are talking about.
10) Its the BMC ADO16, the original Mini's big brother. It came in 1100 )1098cc) & 1300 (1275cc) engine options, with 4 door, 2 door and 3 door Estate. But it was badged, Austin, Morris, MG, Riley, Wolseley & Vanden Plas in the UK. And Innocenti in Italy.
@@James-dt7ky We had a Morris 1100 in Real Dark Green / Black colour, that had been retro fitted with an MG's Red Leather/ Leatherette interior. Mum left it parked in the Sun, circa 1975/76. I was 5 or 6. Mum was taking me and my sisters out, and I was wearing shorts, when I got in the front with her. I Screamed, and it stuck to my skin. Think she bought me the Dinky Eagle transporter that day.
Got 5 wrong. Not too bad as we didn't see many of them on the main streets. Old cars had elegant designs not like the invariable wind tunnel hatches of today. Sad the demise of the British car makers.
Actually Maxwell Smart drove a Sunbeam Tiger... specificly the 1965 Tiger Mark I. The Sunbeam Tiger is a high-performance V8 version of the British Rootes Group's Sunbeam Alpine roadster, designed in part by American car designer and racing driver Carroll Shelby and produced from 1964 until 1967. Shelby had carried out a similar V8 conversion on the AC Cobra, and hoped to be offered the contract to produce the Tiger at his facility in the United States. Rootes decided instead to contract the assembly work to Jensen at West Bromwich in England, and pay Shelby a royalty on every car produced. The 1965 Tiger Mark I gained some exposure on American television as the car of choice for Maxwell Smart in the spoof spy series Get Smart. The Tiger was used for the first two seasons in the opening credits, in which Smart screeched to a halt outside his headquarters, and was used through the remainder of the series in several episodes. Some of the scenes featured unusual modifications such as a retractable James Bond-style machine gun that could not have fitted under the Tiger's bonnet, so rebadged Alpine models were used for a "stunt-double" for those scene shots instead.
I scored 95% I did not know the answer to One Question, I got 89 points with only 2 questions needing the prompt, 17 questions @ 5 points and 2 questions at 2 point and one question @ 0 points, Also the the Quiz-Master got 2 Cars Wrong, Q 10 was not a 1968 BMC It was a 1970/1971 Morris 1100, And Question 15 was not a 1969 Wolsley It was a 1959 Model. And was often used as Police Cars and the Sportier version was the MG Magnette. that came with Twin Carburators and a Straight 6 Engine.
Hi @michaelwalker9945, you are classic car enthusiast! Please join us in the next challenge or with our other quiz: ua-cam.com/video/L0kSFpaFY0I/v-deo.html
A is a Ford Cortina sixteen hundred E... The GT was the sporty model, and the Cortina Lotus (I had one) was the hot version, and it was the bigger 3 litre Grenada that was in the Sweeney. The late Gerry Marshall used to race the Vauxhall Viva. I owned a Sunbeam Alpine V (RAR 446 D). My second car was a Triumph Herald which I rolled due to the dangerous swing axle suspension, which they modified for the Vitesse. The Corsair was a re-styled Cortina. The "Old Lady" Rover 3 litre, a cheap Roller alternative. TVR, Daimler which was taken over by Jaguar.... this is getting boring....
I do not know how to count the points. In the multiple choice I had them all correct. Before the multiple choice I had 19 of the 20 makes correct, but I did not always know the type. And definitely not the year.
@thierrypauwels: wow, you did well! How to count: if you knew the correct answer before the multiple options ABCD were shown, give yourself 5 points (per correct answered question). If you answered correctly after you saw the multiple options ABCD, give yourself 2 points (per correct answer) As you had all 20 answers correct after the multiple, you scored 40 points. Depending on which ones you knew before the options, you should increase your score accodringly :) Try out our new quiz, points are calculated in the same way :)

How did you arrive at 94% as a supposed failure rate ?
Passed them all, The Sweeny used a Granada not a Cortina
People always reckon that the opening credits of "The Sweeney" show a Mark 1 Granada pursuing a Mark 2 Jag - but it's a Consul GT pursuing an S-type. (The classic "bank-robbers get-away car" - the Mark 2 Jag - is actually a rare sight in "The Sweeney": The villains' Jags were always S-types or the even more desirable Series 1 XJ6.)
@BarbraPapa-y4g Consul GT. Granadas Had All TheGear Vinyl Roof & Everything. Consul being Lighter was the reason UK Police M/way Patrols used them .
@@Philcopson I stand corrected, but in the later episodes they used a Granada Mk1, as for the jags they must have written
a lot of them off !
They did have cortina’s as well as granadas
Yes, and I had one in the same bronze colour at the time
It is not a mini GT ,it is a marcos 1800 gt ,
Hi @barryjones872, OK now you GOT me! You are a real car enthusiast! 👏🏆 You are totally correct! I will challenge you in the next one 😊

12) Vauxhall PA Cresta introduced in 1957. Very rare. As the British GM division's accountants bought really cheap steel, that rusted away with in 3 years.
This false economy would haunt the Vauxhall marque until the mid 1980's. In fact most people preferred its German sister Opel, because of it.

1600 E and lotus cortina were things of beauty
I had a 1600E in the 70s, red, a 68 model but I had to sell it cos my eldest son was born and I couldn't afford both!😢
There was white Series V Sunbeam Alpine roadster in the Michael Caine film Get Carter 1971. It ended up in the River Tyne with a gangsters moll in the boot. NVK620F 67/68.
...pushed into the river by a Land Rover 108 Safari station wagon! - I have the film.....
The Scimitar shown isn’t the GTE model with the hatchback. The one in the photo is a conventional coupe with a normal (small) boot.
The answer isn't claiming it's a GTE - it's correctly captioned as a GT. They are wrong saying that Princess Anne had one of those. She did have a GTE.
45. Would have been more challenging if the brand was covered up. With 'Vauxhall' on the front it is rather obvious the car is a Vauxhall.

The Wolseley Six is a much later model and mechanically unrelated to the 6/90. Why do you give ratings only up to 50 points? 20 x 5 = 100.
I am very sad !. Age 74-score 100%
The Wolseley shown is a 1959 model not a 1969 model!
18) TVR 2500 (only around from 1970 to 1972) it was known as the 2500 Vixen in the USA.
It then became the 2500M in 1972 with its improved Chassis and other modifications.
Under the skin its a Triumph TR6.
The Marcos at Q9 is not a mini Marcos, but a Marcos 1800 or 3 litre. Which had either a Volvo inline 4 or Ford V6 respectively.
The 1100 at Q10 is a Morris not BMC, the ADO16 models all had brand badges, not the BMC group designation.
The Scimitar at Q11 is a GT, (and there was no "S4" in the GT designations) not the GTE, beloved of Princess Anne and is a coupe, not a hatchback.
The Wolseley at Q15 is a 50s model 6/99 not a "Wolseley Six" which was a 60s development of the popular BMC 1800 series known to it's fans as the "landcrab".
Not a bad quiz apart from the 4 almost indistinguishably different TVR models. But I had no real problem achieving 100 pts, I'm a TVR fan! I was sad not to see a real Bond Equipe after it appeared in so many questions!
@@stephenboitoult8774 your as sad me😆😆😆
@stephenboitoult8774: you are a true classic car champ! Wait for the next quiz! we will surprise you ;)
I am 80 and got them all. It is sad to think that we used to have so many car manufacturers and now have only a few small ones. Our youngsters have missed out.
I guessed all twenty cars correctly 😵💫 David Ruff
Me too!
@davidruff7872 and @TheClive1949: That's amazing! You think you can also ace the next one:

@davidruff7872 That test was dumb, I'm no petrol head and got them all. I'm curious David, were you wearing shoes or without?
Rover p5 coupe beautiful car the best
The only one that caught me out was the Vauxhall Viva... I remember the Viva as a small hp car not as a 2 litre in this country.
8) Daimler Majestic Major, fitted with a 4561cc Hemi V8 engine, a larger version of the, 2548cc fitted in the SP250 Dart & Jaguar Mk2 bodied, 2.5 V8 & V8-250.
When Jaguar bought Daimler, they put this engine, designed by Edward Turner into the Jaguar Mk10 for test. The car ran around the Mira track at 133mph without a problem, non stop for hours.
But it was killed off as Jaguar wanted to develop the V12 for Motor Racing.
Also, Lyons took it personally that this V8 engine was better than Jaguar's XK engine.
The Daimler (of Great Britain) marque was killed off in 2009 after Tata (the owners of Jaguar Land Rover) lost a Trademark case in New York.
So the when the Super Eight X358 model, finished production in 2009, no new Daimler version was created for of the X351 model, which was only available as a Jaguar XJ.
****
Ratan Tata, the previous chairman of Tata, wanted to restore Daimler to its status of British luxury manufacturer. And intended that unique bodywork & body styles would be used once again.
Many Indian Maharajas and Princes, during British rule (The British Raj), owned Daimler cars during this period.
And in modern India, their is much admiration of classic British luxury of Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lagonda, Armstrong Siddeley, Alvis, Sunbeam, Humber and Wolseley.
Daimler of Great Britain provided, the State Limousine for the Monarch, from 1901 until 1952.
Tellingly, Daimler-Benz, the holding company of Mercedes-Benz, now uses the "Daimler" name on it USA only Heavy Trucks.
Effectively grinding Gottlieb Daimler's name into the mud, while elevating Wilhelm Maybach.
6) Rover P5B Coupe or Rover 3 1/2 Litre Coupe. The correct term from this body style is actually Berline (as opposed to Berlina which equals Sedan / Saloon).
The VW Passat CC of 2008 - 2017, and Mercedes-Benz CLS (C219 of 2004-2010,& C218 2010-2017) are modern interpretation of this body style.
19/20. lots of lovely memories - especially the TVRs and Marcoses...... One of my schoolmates came to school in a Daimler 420, the Mayor Oldhams' official car. 1-4-3 forever Madge....Ford Transits ruled...Great quiz guys...
@loverhood2016: Thanks! check out our other quizzes. Also check our poll! love to hear your thoughts on it...
Playing at twice the speed.I aced it! Often owned or driven most of them. Modern cars, I haven't a clue. No interest!
@aleccrombie7923: You are a definitely a true car enthusiast! 🏆 How many points did you score?
Got them all correct. I wonder how well us Brits would do if the quiz was on american cars.
Alvis and Bristol tricky. Great quiz, thanks very much
The Vauxhall PA Series finished in 1962, so this is NOT a 1963 model, in 1963 the PB series was introduced. The car in the picture is an early straight grille with Lollipop rear lights and 3 piece rear windows. This would be the start of the PA range from 1957 to 62. These cars rotted for fun even in the showrooms, they have a reputation for it.
Dang, I only got 15 right. Not well up on the racing car types. My sister’s mother and father in law who lived across the road had a Vauxhall Cresta, so couldn’t get that wrong. 😂 If ever I have the money I’d love a Daimler. Not looking good yet though. We can all dream. 😂
13) Daimler Sovereign. Code name XJ16. A Jaguar Mk10 style front was grafted onto a Jaguar S-Type.
This was the start of badge engineered Daimlers.
Sadly the Daimler 4.6 Litre V8 was not fitted.
Rover p5b did not have only 2 doors
The coupe did though
Evidently only a few were converted by a specialist bodywork company. The cars from the factory were 4 door.
It had four doors.
7) TVR Griffith 200, but it was a TVR Grantura body in which Jack Griffith shoehorned the Ford HiPo 289ci V8, that kicked out 271bhp.
Carrol Shelby never shared the upgrade that could increase the power to 306bhp, as in the Shelby Ford Mustang GT350
Its a ford my grandad had a yellow one in the 1970s 😊👍❤️
I don't know which 94% that failed this test came from, but this was not a very difficult test if I can get 100% right and I don't consider myself an expert..
1) Ford Cortina Mk2
Lets gloss over the Brosnan era of Bond , when he drove BMW's (, shuddering as i write this) dark days,.😜
Got ALL of them EXCEPT #2a! As a car designer and car enthusiast - Not Bad! Thanks for the FUN!!!
Multiple choice 15 out 20 guess right away 12 out of 20 the more sporty was harder bigger more and expensive got them from old tv born 1962 i did think a ford zephyr there was one like it my first shout then got it but the 2 seaters was harder
17) Ginetta G21. Available with either the Sunbeam Rapier's straight 4 in Holbay H120 tune of 1725cc, or more likely the Ford Essex V6 3.0 Litre engine.
My uncle had a Rapier H120 - hell of a thing
Definitely a Marcos but don’t think it’s the mini as I had 2 3lt Volvo ones
Quite right, definitely not a Mini Marcos. The shown is a 2litre. The 3litre had a big power bulge on the bonnet to accommodate the Ford V6. The 2 litre was either a Ford V4 or a Volvo. The earliest version (which this one is not) used a Ford 1600.
all but one correct the Marcos gt . i thought could have been ginetta . 80 year old and still a car nut .. current favourite is a Perodua Kelisa gt .. and my new Kia Picanto a super economical 3 cylinder petrol 1100 km so far and best economy 88mpg pussy footing around over 50km journeys .drives like a go kart . I was 1980 Donnington One litre Gt championship class winner .using my own fabricated ground effects chassis and own modified one litre hillman imp motor mid engined I regularly lapped the whole field down to second place .. Protested regularly My ground effects were awesome . insane cornering speeds and suicidal late braking ability ..
There were some car models that didn't match the description, but as a Swede
I'm happy with a full pot of 18 and on two 8 and 19 I guess wrong.
I had a 1500 GT with twin choke Webber and tubular manifolds with a cherry bomb exhaust
Ported and polished head and manifold
High lift camshaft
Lowering blocks on the back and spring clamps on the front
Wide wheels spacers
It looked the dogs nuts in br green with black interior
@royweblin9561: fantastic! you owned a beauty!
The Morris 1100 was a somewhat important element in my teenage lovelife. That's enough said.
A Morris 1000 van had similar importance for myself!
We managed it in a Mark 1 Mini. Something of an achievement because I'm 6' 2". !!
Glad you also spotted it was a Morris; the Austin version had a wavy grille. I crashed a couple of these as an Austin apprentice. We had to move some to rectification that were missing parts from the assembly lines, from seats to brake master cylinders, hence the crashes! 🤫
@@fmcb269 Tilt forward front seats...
4) Triumph Vitesse
The Viva had its own fan club in the states. Reason ...because they all caught fire😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
First 8 - 10 was quite easy, but then things get rare for non UK viewers ...
C for Cortina
I should have said that the current love of my life is a 1976 Hillman Imp Caledonian; fully specced, but with a 998cc lump, and Heron cams and twin CD175 Stromberg carbs, plus a few other extras, so she goes like stink and drives beeeaauuutifully🥰
Thats Wow, lucky man, people would pay you to just drive a bit round the yard
Amazing what became of the FW ("Feather Weight") engine designed originally for portable fire pumps.
I got them all right I always thought the Marcos had 1800 or 3 ltr engines not 1600

Got three on the options, but all the rest before. Goodness, I must be getting old!
Stopped once they showed a picture of the Ford Granada while saying it was a Coritina in question 1. Not much point in going on if they don't know what they are talking about.
20/20 but the models are some of the cars were not as they were described
20/20 but then I do live in the UK.
I got 100%, but bring 69 they are from my time, which makes me a sad muppet😀
SunbeemAlpineSeries,1962
5) Ford Corsair, the model Ford never really replaced in its line up as Middle Manager's Car.
Was basicly a fancy cortina
10:00 J reg Aug 70-July 71, not 68.
10) Its the BMC ADO16, the original Mini's big brother.
It came in 1100 )1098cc) & 1300 (1275cc) engine options, with 4 door, 2 door and 3 door Estate.
But it was badged, Austin, Morris, MG, Riley, Wolseley & Vanden Plas in the UK. And Innocenti in Italy.
Austin America here in the West. I had one. 1971
@@James-dt7ky We had a Morris 1100 in Real Dark Green / Black colour, that had been retro fitted with an MG's Red Leather/ Leatherette interior.
Mum left it parked in the Sun, circa 1975/76. I was 5 or 6.
Mum was taking me and my sisters out, and I was wearing shorts, when I got in the front with her.
I Screamed, and it stuck to my skin.
Think she bought me the Dinky Eagle transporter that day.
@@James-dt7ky Best scene is in Fawlty Towers when Basil thrashes his Austin 1100 Countryman with a Tree Branch.
LOL
@@madsteve9 "I've laid it on the line for you, time and time again!"
Got 5 wrong. Not too bad as we didn't see many of them on the main streets. Old cars had elegant designs not like the invariable wind tunnel hatches of today. Sad the demise of the British car makers.
Got all the make/model, but not so hot on the year ! LOL
3) Sunbeam Alpine Gen2
The only one I didn't get was the Majestic. And that was before the results came up. Not bad for an senile old git like me!
@DugWolfe-x6t : Definitely not bad at all! Check out the new quiz!
That was just 2 door viva, the Firenza was the sports model
And the Magnum later on.
No vauxhall did make a viva gt flutes in in the bonnet twin cards etc also a viva brabbam in the Hb model
I had a viva GT transplanted a 2.3 victor vx4/90 into it. The Firenza came along with the HC vivas.
OMG, WTF? The Cortina never featured in The Sweeney. They used a Granada. 🙄😖
I got everyone of them . Love the classics
Didn't get the yellow one ,not seen one before
2) Vauxhall Viva (HB) GT
18 correct..... messed up number 9 and number 19
Where is the Vinyl roof on the Cortina 1600E
18/20, both incorrect were TVR models.
Maxwell Smart drove an Alpine as well.
Actually Maxwell Smart drove a Sunbeam Tiger... specificly the 1965 Tiger Mark I.
The Sunbeam Tiger is a high-performance V8 version of the British Rootes Group's Sunbeam Alpine roadster, designed in part by American car designer and racing driver Carroll Shelby and produced from 1964 until 1967. Shelby had carried out a similar V8 conversion on the AC Cobra, and hoped to be offered the contract to produce the Tiger at his facility in the United States. Rootes decided instead to contract the assembly work to Jensen at West Bromwich in England, and pay Shelby a royalty on every car produced.
The 1965 Tiger Mark I gained some exposure on American television as the car of choice for Maxwell Smart in the spoof spy series Get Smart. The Tiger was used for the first two seasons in the opening credits, in which Smart screeched to a halt outside his headquarters, and was used through the remainder of the series in several episodes. Some of the scenes featured unusual modifications such as a retractable James Bond-style machine gun that could not have fitted under the Tiger's bonnet, so rebadged Alpine models were used for a "stunt-double" for those scene shots instead.
I scored 95% I did not know the answer to One Question, I got 89 points with only 2 questions needing the prompt, 17 questions @ 5 points and 2 questions at 2 point and one question @ 0 points,
Also the the Quiz-Master got 2 Cars Wrong, Q 10 was not a 1968 BMC It was a 1970/1971 Morris 1100, And Question 15 was not a 1969 Wolsley It was a 1959 Model. And was often used as Police Cars and the Sportier version was the MG Magnette. that came with Twin Carburators and a Straight 6 Engine.
The MG Magnetite had the b series 4 cylinder engine not a 6 cylinder engine.
I enjoyed that, brought back good memory's 👍

A is a Ford Cortina sixteen hundred E... The GT was the sporty model, and the Cortina Lotus (I had one) was the hot version, and it was the bigger 3 litre Grenada that was in the Sweeney. The late Gerry Marshall used to race the Vauxhall Viva. I owned a Sunbeam Alpine V (RAR 446 D). My second car was a Triumph Herald which I rolled due to the dangerous swing axle suspension, which they modified for the Vitesse. The Corsair was a re-styled Cortina. The "Old Lady" Rover 3 litre, a cheap Roller alternative. TVR, Daimler which was taken over by Jaguar.... this is getting boring....
That is not a picture of a mini Marcos it's the 1970 Marcos 3000gt
11/20 so, so!! 😎 Brilliant Quiz tho 😁👍🏿
I do not know how to count the points. In the multiple choice I had them all correct. Before the multiple choice I had 19 of the 20 makes correct, but I did not always know the type. And definitely not the year.
@thierrypauwels: wow, you did well! How to count: if you knew the correct answer before the multiple options ABCD were shown, give yourself 5 points (per correct answered question). If you answered correctly after you saw the multiple options ABCD, give yourself 2 points (per correct answer) As you had all 20 answers correct after the multiple, you scored 40 points. Depending on which ones you knew before the options, you should increase your score accodringly :)
Try out our new quiz, points are calculated in the same way :)
Only got one wrong would have got it right if I had taken more notice of year of manufacture.
