Challenge 2

Name that motorcycle? I don't have the answer as the photo was taken from the below link. The photo IMO is in the 1940's so I guess it has to be a European or British bike. Pete :cheers:

Challenge 3

This one was found in a barn unrestored after 112 years. What is it?

Because we have an unprecedented 3 consecutive challenges running, I have given them each a challenge number. I suggest you put your challenge number at the start of your answer (I've edited richard's answer).

No more challenges until these have been solved please.

Could it be a rare Alvis or a MGB? I think out is British?

I'm going to say that Number 1 is a Bertone version of something (going by the tiny badge on the wing), probably a saloon (Lancia?) rebodied.

It's a long shot.

It's not British so neither I'm afraid.

Not a Lancia and as far as I'm aware Bertoni was not involved in the design, but geographically you are very hot!!

Not a Bugatti and you're about 2 decades out with your vintage.

I was way way out. Didn't Google it but stumbled across it reading a current affairs site. Mind-blowing :roll:

Still on Number 1 - After zooming in 300% the bonnet badge looks like a Porsche badge, but it's not is it, it's something Italian, it's not a Ferrari badge I'm sure even though the car looks like one, the badge is the right shape for Lamborghini but the car isn't so is it an Abarth Fiat ?
