Is that woman Sabine Schmitz also called Queen of the Nürburgring by Jeremy Clarkson?

No, but she was often behind and occasionally in front of a Stig.

Former rally star Michele Mouton.

She later became the first president of the FIA's Women & Motor Sport Commission in 2010 and the FIA's manager in the World Rally Championship in 2011

Well done Bristolian.

A fairly rare car but shouldn't be too difficult for some of our enthusiastic participants?

Aston Martin logo on the grill, DB 3 ish front end but the back end doesn't look right.

Aston Martin produced a car in 1956 that looked very similar but that looks like a modern version of it, is it a concept car?

Post by **Dannie Boy** » Mon Jun 03, 2013 4:45 pm

Well you are all correct that its an AM but not a DB3 and its not really a concept car as such!!

At 300% zoom Chrome crashed out on me but just before it did it looks like it might say 'Zagato' above the wing vent.

I don't think so, in fact no!

The badge gave away the manufacturer but it did take Google to identify it
This is a rare one...The Aston Martin DB4GT 'The Jet'. Estimated Value...a cool £2.8 - £3.8 Million
In 1960 Aston Martin commissioned Bertone to conceive and build a special Gran Turismo version of the DB4GT to be premiered at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show.

The finished design – with its strikingly angular lines – was penned by a young Giorgetto Guigiaro, who would go on to become one of the most celebrated automotive designers of our time, subsequently penning the VW Golf and Ferrari 250 GT.

Once again, congratulations to Bristolian for his detective work, a one-off of this actual design although quite a few DB4GT's were built but with a different body design

I don't expect anyone to get this straight off the bat but before you go a-googlin', some wacky ideas might be fun.

Seeing as it's obviously Mazda, does it come with an MX5?
