No not a TVR, might slighty complicate the issue as I think the pic is American spec, hence bigger bumpers.

Ollie - amazingly the first one is not a Jensen Healey, but the second one is! :lol:

Last one, nope not a Datsun, but the right country, there's a BIG clue on the grille.

I will be fairly amazed if anyone gets the first one, I just remember there used to be one parked near my house about 19 years ago!

First:Gilbern (made in Wales, did know what it was but the flag made it certain). Probably an Invader as it`s the only model name I remember!

Second: Jensen Healey

Third: Honda S2000 (the original one).

Top spot Cavmad!

Gilbern Invader it is indeed.

Last one is the S800, Honda's first sportscar I believe.

I love a challenge and being a bit of a fan of classic cars I recognised it instantly (sad, I know!). Perhaps I can be forward enough to suggest a regular picture competition? Don`t mind contributing myself, time permitting.

Aha, that will be a 2.2?

Very nice when they are in good nick, and a bit tasty powerwise too.

I had an Elise for the day at the end of last month, and what a day of fun that was, never have I enjoyed driving a car more, I wanted one before, now I NEED one!

Pictures please, I loved those cars. Didn`t they make a rare version of them too, Avon or something like that? A place not too far from here used to specialise in them (and Avengers and the like), Skip Brown I think they are/were called.
Anyhow can you persuade the owner it`s not worth repairing and sell it to me for a stupidly cheap amount of money? :D

Friend has a Talbot Sunbeam a few years ago and was a very quick car. Pity they've all rusted away bar a few.

for some reason loads of people I knew through Imp's also had Sunbeam Lotus' squireled away for a rainy day :shock: Must be an attraction to rust :lol:

I used to have a Sunbeam Imp Sport - never went more than half a mile at a time, unless it was on a trailer, as I couldn't get the throttle linkage right for the Weber carb it was never designed to have.
