Re: Classic Cars

Am I right in thinking the silver/grey Jensen is an Interceptor, whereas the black one is an FF?

Porsche 917K

These were seen at their best in Le Mans, both the 24 race (winning in 1970 & 71) & the films.

The Ford GT-40 was designed and built in the UK and was based on the Lola Mk6

i'm not sure, but i think amethyst may have meant the '48 tucker torpedo.

Re: Classic Cars

Do you know when Iran stopped making Hunters? We lost our contract not long after the revolution there in 1979, and I had thought production had ceased then, making those still running around 38 years old, but perhaps they continued making them?

Re: Classic Cars

There are still plenty of Hillman Hunters on the road in Iran. All of them are just the plain Hunter model with manual gearboxes and there are no Humber Sceptre or Sunbeam Rapier variants. I think the automatic transmission on cars manufactured in Britain was made by Chrysler in the US and also used on American cars.

Body panels and mechanical parts have definitely been imported from Iran by owners Rootes Arrow cars in Britain. I'm not aware of any complete cars being imported from Iran.
