Hobby Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Someone put the red line there to show what they thought the bonnet line was! I was wondering if there were any other rear engined cars that it could be? The sides look too upright as well for the 500 judging by the photos . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are convinced it's a Fiat 500 but, to me, it doesn't look right (person driving it must be a stick insect, the curve of the windscreen doesn't curve like the Fiat and the two bulges just below the bonnet don't exist on a 500). I recon it's something bigger. So, any ideas? Simca? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Derek 19B Posted 11 hours ago RMweb Premium Share Posted 11 hours ago Could be the 600 very similar. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alastairq Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago 2 hours ago, Sidecar Racer said: No , the 1100 has a prominent grille . It was decided , on another forum, that this car had in fact got a couple of large spotlights on the front, with the grill seen behind. The late 1100s had the grill extending right under the headlamps, too. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to suggest a 12/50 as 2-tone paint was extra on a 1200, but something doesn't look quite right about that one. The chrome headlamp bezels look larger and squarer than I remember. Aftermarket replacements? Edited 7 hours ago by Dunsignalling 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted 8 hours ago RMweb Gold Share Posted 8 hours ago (edited) Other possibilities Daf 33 or 44, NSU Prinz 4, Renault 8, Simca 1000. Edited 8 hours ago by stovepipe 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it may also have had chrome headlamp bezels added. 12/50s all came with a Weathershield sliding roof. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are both the same type of Fiat 500, but from different angles. The close up emphasises the lower width. The new one is quite different with the bonnet opening cutting through at headlight height. Th red line on the doubled-up picture outlines the bonnet opening, nothing more.
