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.
@alangood8190: yes indeed! Check out the new quiz for another stroll down memory lane... do you remember these ones th-cam.com/video/WTbBn0JHdIU/w-d-xo.html
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...

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
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based on the Wolseley 18/85 itself based on the Austin/Morris 1800 a much later cars than the 6/90 pictured which was superseded by the big Farina 6/99 and later 6/110 which I owned back in the day.
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.
@@malthuswasright In the 80’s, a colleague of mine had an old GTE that had seen better days. His manager said of him, “Simon has a lot of hobbies: Fixing his car on the way to the cinema, fixing his car on the way to the pub, fixing his car on the way to….” 😂
@@richardwilton722 had a GTE and it leaked like a sieve when it rained the rear seat well was more like a paddling pool after it rained but such a fun car to drive
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.
@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!
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.
@rob-s6x: great!! If you're 84 years indeed easy for you. So I challenge you for the 1950s quiz 😎: th-cam.com/video/WTbBn0JHdIU/w-d-xo.html Let me know how you did with this more challenging quiz! 😇
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.

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......
@kevinfraser7: Happy memories indeed! 🥰Thanks so much for sharing❤ You owned alot!!

67 year old biker here who has never had a driving license and I got them all right, the Alvis I had to dismiss the other three. No one would ever get 20 family cars of 2024, they all look the bloody same, why did the public allow that to happen ?
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.
@Tourist1967: OK, welldone! I will do my best, so more challenging quizzes will come soon, wait for it! Make sure to hit that bell notification 😊 I will add complexity levels 😃
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 ;)

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.

The Vauxhall Cresta shown was 1957-59 early version with the 3 back windows not the 1963 which had which had a 1 piece rear window and yep I got them all right because I am as old as the cars, or older👍😉

What was the passing grade? I scored 65... and got 7 wrong. A few were merely lucky guesses, but I managed to recognise a lot of them. It helps to have been around during the '60s, I reckon, though I was too young to drive back then, or I'm sure I'd have got more right! (That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it! 😉)

you see my dad always told me that at that time all European cars were junk. He had Morris, Peugeot, Citroen, and VW. All bad cars until he bought a Ford. Then the man was happy.

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.
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!
Yes others have said the end of the first question is a ford consul from the sweeney as I use to own one in the early 80s lol and I got them all correct :)
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
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.

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.
Vauxhall were bad for rust right through to the seventies my father had a 1965 Viva HA which rusted through the chassis then a Viva HB that rusted through also. I blame it on the paintwork - acrylic " never needs polishing" said the salesman. Huh!
I also stopped to watch the Rover Princesse kinda coupe they made. So I stood there watching the exhaust. They had put a leftover NSU wankel in it . Man that thing gave smoke and still brand new. Mia Pricipessa

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!)

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.

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.
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.

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.
@charlieribbands7638: Thanks for sharing❤Wow 2 TVRs!? Nice!! Can you please share pictures? Love to see them!

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
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.
100% although I did get some of the model numbers wrong, but there wasn't enough information in the picture to be sure. For instance, the Austin 1100 and Austin 1300 looked identical from the front, the engine size was only on the boot lid. They were never sold as BMC, they were branded as either Austin, or the highest spec was branded Wolseley (similar to how the top Jags were Daimler branded). The Marcos Mini was in fact a Marcos 3-litre (I believe). It certainly wasn't a Mini Marcos which was a completely different car. It's a shame some of the pictures had nothing to do with the cars featured - I'm pretty sure the Daimler Majestic Major didn't have a Porsche 4.5L V8 turbo engine. The engine shown for the TVR Griffith was also wrong - do you really think a 1965 car had carbon fibre parts?

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
It was interesting but you included some errors. You described the first Marcos you showed as a Mini Marcos, that was a completely different car. You described the Morris 1100 in the commentary as a Morris 1000, also a different car. You described the Scimitar that you showed as a GTE version, when the one you pictured was the saloon. Still nice to see so many TVRs in the quiz.
@DavidTanswell: thanks for your feedback, appreciated! Yes... I shouldn't be creating quizzes Netflixing anymore 😅 Please check out our 2 latest quizzes as the content has been improved 🥰
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.
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.

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. 😂
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! 🤫

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.

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
Got them correct including the ones they didn't.

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 😊
Yes, I did wonder what was going on with that question 😊
I agree
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.
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!😢
That was a stroll down memory lane.
The time when the British car industry was in charge of it's own destiny.
@alangood8190: yes indeed!
Check out the new quiz for another stroll down memory lane... do you remember these ones th-cam.com/video/WTbBn0JHdIU/w-d-xo.html
Yep! 'Was in charge' being the definitive phrase !!
Yes thats true!!
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...

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
It WAS!! - Featured HEAVILY in such CLASSICS as Gideons Way which they DAREN'T SHOW in these PC-ridden times. Got it on DVD too...
@@loverhood2016 If you watch Channel 82 TPTV loads of 50s police shows exclusively having Wolseleys.
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.
@ davidatkinso 2167 my dad had a ex cop 50s 6/80 ,
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.
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.
@@malthuswasright In the 80’s, a colleague of mine had an old GTE that had seen better days. His manager said of him, “Simon has a lot of hobbies: Fixing his car on the way to the cinema, fixing his car on the way to the pub, fixing his car on the way to….” 😂
@@richardwilton722 had a GTE and it leaked like a sieve when it rained the rear seat well was more like a paddling pool after it rained but such a fun car to drive
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.
@patrickward8144: You are a true champ! 🏆💪
@badenmelhuish3215: You are also a true champ! 🏆💪
I'm a 62 year old Belgian and I only got one wrong, round 7 got me Gilbern or TVR.
67 English 🏴 man also Got 100%
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.
@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!
I will!
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.....
All 5 correct!! but yes I am 84 years old so for me very easy and recognizable!!!
@rob-s6x: great!! If you're 84 years indeed easy for you. So I challenge you for the 1950s quiz 😎: th-cam.com/video/WTbBn0JHdIU/w-d-xo.html

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.

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......

67 year old biker here who has never had a driving license and I got them all right, the Alvis I had to dismiss the other three.
No one would ever get 20 family cars of 2024, they all look the bloody same, why did the public allow that to happen ?
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.
Wasn't that difficult. Heavy on the TVRs, though.

@Tourist1967: new quiz online! Can you also ace this one:
th-cam.com/video/uE3XAq7usJE/w-d-xo.html
1) Ford Cortina Mk2
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 ;)
I did well considering I now have memory problems. I bloody surprised myself. And yes, the Sweeney car used was a Granada not a Cortina. ❤
@AmandaJayne46: even more admiration, well-done! 👏 Try out our more challenging quiz 😉 th-cam.com/video/WTbBn0JHdIU/w-d-xo.html
I have memory problems too, but got most of the cars. I notice that my memory 'record' sometimes fails now but the 'playback' of old memories is fine!

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.
Similarly to Mk. it's Jag-you-are, not Jag-warre, and coupé, not "coop".
I AGREE THAT 19/20 BUT THE ALVIS I TH0UGHT WAS A BRIST0L.
Yes got them all except the Alvis which I thought was a Bristol.😅
20) Gilbern Invader. Built in Wales, from parts by Ford & MG.
V8?
And finally, all 60's TVR's looked the Damn same!
Got em all also. The Alvis TD21 and TE21 are my favourite cars of all time👍

Lots of odd ball small sports cars .We did not have in NZ. We had all the run of the mill stuff.
What was the passing grade? I scored 65... and got 7 wrong. A few were merely lucky guesses, but I managed to recognise a lot of them. It helps to have been around during the '60s, I reckon, though I was too young to drive back then, or I'm sure I'd have got more right! (That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it! 😉)

The Cortina 1600E was not a sporting version of the Mk2. It was the luxury version. If you wanted the sports version, that was the Cortina GT.

GT/E I think
you see my dad always told me that at that time all European cars were junk. He had Morris, Peugeot, Citroen, and VW. All bad cars until he bought a Ford. Then the man was happy.
Having lived in New Zealand during those years - this was easy - no problems at all - nice to see all those cars again

I got them all correct even though I left UK for good in 1972.
Cortina was my father's car 60 years ago i still remember it well
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.
I'm not a car nut by any stretch of the imagination, but thanks for taking me back to my teenage years, BTW got both marcos models wrong.🙂
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 ;)
Yes others have said the end of the first question is a ford consul from the sweeney as I use to own one in the early 80s lol and I got them all correct :)
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
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.

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.
Vauxhall were bad for rust right through to the seventies my father had a 1965 Viva HA which rusted through the chassis then a Viva HB that rusted through also. I blame it on the paintwork - acrylic " never needs polishing" said the salesman. Huh!
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.
I also stopped to watch the Rover Princesse kinda coupe they made. So I stood there watching the exhaust. They had put a leftover NSU wankel in it . Man that thing gave smoke and still brand new. Mia Pricipessa
The Wolseley shown is a 1959 model not a 1969 model!
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

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.

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
They all had decent lumbar support seats ..Pity about today.
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.

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.
There were some car models that didn't match the description, but as a Swede

- 1920-1980 British Cars: th-cam.com/video/omvjNfU1Tuk/w-d-xo.html
The Viva had its own fan club in the states. Reason ...because they all caught fire😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
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 😊👍❤️
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.
The BMC 1100 was better known as the Morris 1100 built by the British Motor Corporation.
4) Triumph Vitesse
11/20 so, so!! 😎 Brilliant Quiz tho 😁👍🏿
Lets gloss over the Brosnan era of Bond , when he drove BMW's (, shuddering as i write this) dark days,.😜
100% although I did get some of the model numbers wrong, but there wasn't enough information in the picture to be sure. For instance, the Austin 1100 and Austin 1300 looked identical from the front, the engine size was only on the boot lid. They were never sold as BMC, they were branded as either Austin, or the highest spec was branded Wolseley (similar to how the top Jags were Daimler branded).
The Marcos Mini was in fact a Marcos 3-litre (I believe). It certainly wasn't a Mini Marcos which was a completely different car.
It's a shame some of the pictures had nothing to do with the cars featured - I'm pretty sure the Daimler Majestic Major didn't have a Porsche 4.5L V8 turbo engine. The engine shown for the TVR Griffith was also wrong - do you really think a 1965 car had carbon fibre parts?
@raven-creations: True champ! 🏆 Thanks for sharing and your feedback! Appreciate it! ❤️

Round 12, the image is of a 58-59 Cresta. I own a 62 Velox… a LHD one in Las Vegas NV, USA.
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.
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
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?
Sweeny used a mark 1 Ford Granada 3 litre
It was interesting but you included some errors. You described the first Marcos you showed as a Mini Marcos, that was a completely different car. You described the Morris 1100 in the commentary as a Morris 1000, also a different car. You described the Scimitar that you showed as a GTE version, when the one you pictured was the saloon. Still nice to see so many TVRs in the quiz.
@DavidTanswell: thanks for your feedback, appreciated! Yes... I shouldn't be creating quizzes Netflixing anymore 😅 Please check out our 2 latest quizzes as the content has been improved 🥰
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!"
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.
Rover p5 coupe beautiful car the best

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. 😂
3) Sunbeam Alpine Gen2
Got 15 out of 20. My family owned a couple of those models here in New Zealand
@LesElliott-t4b: well-done! Which ones did your family own?
5) Ford Corsair, the model Ford never really replaced in its line up as Middle Manager's Car.
Was basicly a fancy cortina
Got all the make/model, but not so hot on the year ! LOL
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...
aced it but it's not a Marcos mini gt in the picture
@iainmorrison9048 : Good job! You think you can also ace the next one:

SunbeemAlpineSeries,1962
2) Vauxhall Viva (HB) GT
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!
Pretty sure (12) Pa Cresta was discontinued in '62 and the three piece rear window being replaced by the one piece in '59 or '60...anyone?
It was the time that Ford was leading in Europe;;;the Escort Mexico, the Capri the Granada the Consul etc was I say was
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.
Not going critise the minor errors as I got 20/20. Always thought I was petrol head down the years !
I had an Austin 1100 lovely car
Worked on all them !
@colinwest3773: How cool is that! Respect!
The engine shown for the Daimler is out of a Porsche cayenne
