The Car Challenge

[dtaai-maai]

Is this a Formula 1 question?

[Frank Hovis]

No but part of the answer is Formula 1 related.
The people named have distinctive features (or don't) that this particular model also has (or hasn't)

Williams and Hill are not the F1 Williams and Hill.

[dtaai-maai]

So... a sort of black Bruce Forsyth - Sammy Davis Jr perhaps?

EDIT: Belay that.

Features on a car - a black car with a protruding frontage - something like the original Batmobile!

[Frank Hovis]

It's a car, but that made me laugh all the same.

Perhaps a picture is in order

[dtaai-maai]

No pictures - just clues (a few more)

The offspring of Jimmy Hill and Serena Williams, with a splash of James Bond and nothing from Cameron Diaz, even when I finish first I am still number two, those in front of me are just blockers.

This 1984 Skyline is half black and has a chin!

[Frank Hovis]

Jimmy Hills Chin - Yes - Ridiculous Front Spoiler.
Serena Williams 'feature' isn't her skin color, it's perhaps where it stretches the most, in the same place the Skyline is quite broad.
The most common color of the car comes from James Bond.

[dtaai-maai]

A car with a huge arse, eh...?

Hmm, I'm a bit out of my depth here, but it is fun!

[Frank Hovis]

DM, You might do better with the cryptic clues.

"even when I finish first I am still number two, those in front of me are just blockers".
Prince Philip might help you with that one.

[dtaai-maai]

A consort?

[Frank Hovis]

I meant Prince Philip could help you translate the clue, not the kind of car he might be seen in.

[Frank Hovis]

Here's a plan view, showing the Jimmy Hill chin and Serena Williams backside.

Extra clue for DM - the clue is all Greek to me.

[dtaai-maai]

I meant that Prince Philip is a consort, but never mind.


Ah - beta blockers. Alpha and beta

EDIT: an Alfa Romeo?

[Frank Hovis]

Not an Alfa Romeo (or an Alpha) ... so close though, it is the other one.

Paintwork/Decals were normally what you'd get if you were splashed by James Bond (in a nice way!)

I may have been slightly wrong with Cameron Diaz as she may have had an operation to get a bit more of what this car isn't.

Now that DTM has done all the work: Martini Racing Lancia Beta Montecarlo Turbo.
