    oh so its guess, then mock the incorrect guesses is it?

    Why is it mocking ? Those type tail lamps are uniquely British in nature, generally fitted to a large number of kit cars. Most people who are observant of cars over the years would spot them easily enough, and would be aware that of all the cars they might be fitted to as original equipment, Italian ones are the most unlikely. That is what I was alluding to.

    This illustrates my point...

    Absolutely. Its not fun when someone picks you apart for making an incorrect guess. Low esteem I suppose.

    Nice one! Absolutely love the stratos.

    This is something a bit different, it is technically a car. I hope it comes out ok because I’m doing it on my phone.

    It may look Japanese but it isn't. Not at all.
    Yes, it's a reversed, degraded crop. Can't make it too easy but I thought I had left two or three tiny clues in. BTW this car wasn't for sale in Ireland in the form pictured.

    I wasn't aware of the 929 until I started Google image searching 1980s Mazdas. You think you know cars and then you come to this thread...
