Replying to: bumpy (Jun 30, 2008 2:54 pm) Looks like the European Accord from the mid 90s, but there were some odd offshoot names for some models, I think. Pretty sure those are Russian plates.

Replying to: bumpy (Jun 30, 2008 2:54 pm) That is a Euro spec Accord, 93-96 I think. Replies to this message: bumpy (Jul 01, 2008 4:36 am)

Replying to: boomchek (Jun 30, 2008 4:17 pm) Nope, Fintail had the right idea, it is a Monteverdi, anybody know which? Replies to this message: magnette (Jun 30, 2008 11:38 pm) andys120 (Jul 01, 2008 4:15 am)

Replying to: andys120 (Jun 30, 2008 10:49 am) The Opel GT would have been an unusual site in the UK then, as it was never imported and was only available LHD. On the right the red car is a Fiat 850. - and the van is a Ford ( Transit ) Replies to this message: andys120 (Jul 01, 2008 4:27 am) magnette (Jul 01, 2008 4:44 am)

Replying to: magnette (Jun 30, 2008 11:38 pm) Yep, it's a Monteverdi High Speed 375L ca. '68-'77. Coachwork was by Fissore and power via Chrysler V8 (426 or 440), making the Monteverdis Italian-Swiss/American hybrids. The Monteverdi High Speed 375 also came in four-door (375/4) and convertible (375S) form.

Replying to: magnette (Jun 30, 2008 11:41 pm) Interesting point about the Opel GT in the UK. There's no way for us Yanks to know where it was taken other than the slight preponderance of British makes unless we noticed the K-G is RHD. I forgot about the Fiat 850, never very popular here. The Opel GT was common here in the '70s, it was sometimes called the "poor man's 'Vette". The Ford Transit is apparently ubiquitous on your side but most of us have never seen one. link to Wikipedia entry: "Ford Transit". Replies to this message: magnette (Jul 01, 2008 4:44 am)

Replying to: boomchek (Jun 30, 2008 4:17 pm) Almost. It's a JDM Honda Ascot Innova, an upscale version of the '90-94 Accord with styling and engines borrowed from the '92 Prelude. The mid-90s Euro Accord was a bit wider (since it didn't have to fit into Japanese tax brackets) and had door frames around the windows.
