Car 2 looks British since most the wiring is all the same color!

That should be Brit wiring in the first one, but nobody I know would call the car British.

Not a TVR for the second one.

Thank you. Gauges look like they do in Back to the Future - plus the back window louvers.

First car - Countach?

I have to go and get some work done, so here the pair are.




The Ferrari 308GTS is a 1981................the idle revs at 3,000 rpm. The owner thinks it may be the WUR, it has a Bosch mechanical fuel system. Any ideas on the fix? It used to have a hot start problem, but that was fixed a while back - don't recall what it was though.

Now post your own teaser, winner goes first if he wants to.

3 series Ferrari. Probably a 308, although I can't see enough detail in the pictures to identify it with certainty.

Edit: I see you posted the answer while I was typing...

Stutz Bearcat with a Wright glider attached.

EDIT - 1: I even found an article on it after the fact.

Bryan E. Mahon got his start in aviation in a way that would turn any parent's hair white, by piloting a glider being pulled behind a Stutz Bearcat automobile to get the glider up to speed to fly.
Edit - 2 ..............Bryan E. Mahon's glider, not a Wright Brother's glider.
