It is more of a challenge to find a car name that is not a place name somewhere in the world! or how about starting a forked thread where subsequent answers must be in a strict alphabetic order? We need a rule to stop some smart ass stopping the thread by jumping straight from A to Z. Any ideas? Last edited by: sherlock47 on Sat 30 Mar 24 at 08:06

"Toyota Crown Estate" Calling foul on that one. On the basis that Subaru Outback was ruled "Outback is a generalisation, not a specific place or area", the same could be said about Crown Estate. If you go to www.thecrownestate.co.uk/en-gb/what-we-do/asset-map/ you'll see the dozens of places dotted around the UK which the Crown Estate calls its "assets".

Tue 2 Apr 24 22:56   The Easter Quiz. - James Loveless

'Pffttt I can drive through a gate that says "crown estate". There is no sign on the gate of "outback"' And there is no place called Crown Estate. It's a description; the words "Crown Estate" are a label, not the name of a place. Your initial post said, "Name a car that has a place name."

Correct. They were assembled in Italy I believe, they must have shipped most of the parts in, it would have made no sense otherwise, but as you say the engines/drive train were Alfa. They got a very bad reputation with the dealers very quickly. I was working with a Nissandealer at the time. The Japanese Cherrys, Sunnys etc would arrive after 6 weeks at sea with the carpets in a plastic bag in the car and in wax, otherwise just about ready to go. I think they had to top the oil up as they were underfilled at the factory, but the QC was excellent and the PDI was really a box ticking exercise and that was pretty much what they did. They quickly found that with the "Europes" the customers were commonly bringing them straight back with trim faults, loose seats, windows that didn't wind up and down properly, that sort of thing. They launched IIRC at 4500 list but they ended up being sold off in bulk at a much reduced price to tame dealers who would put up with the hassle or in some cases to big second hand sellers.

>> >> Was the Arna the same thing as the Nissan Cherry Europe? >> With different badges - I think so. >> >> I thought that had Alfasud engines, transmission etc including inboard discs. >> I think you're right. The Alfa's had rusty bodies and better engines though and Datsun had cracked the rust issue and had boring engines so there was a myth that Alfa bodies and Datsun engines were used - it's funnier. Unfortunately Alfa chose boring engines to go in to the car.

It was at Three Counties ground - the same place on another occasion we followed a small group of four adults and two kids around the stands. One of the group was a girl who looked to be in her early teens who smoked just about every clay going. She was an absolute natural. I think she went on to shoot for TeamGB.

Packard Clipper Panama I suppose I should really declare an unfair advantage now. In the late 80s when I was looking for an American weekend toy I bought a couple of catalogues from the US. They run to about 1000 pages and list every car made in America between 1946 and 1986 including specifications, model variants, standard equipment, engine and trim options available, special editions, list prices and numbers sold. There are also sections for one-offs, kit cars, design studies and concept cars. The yanks were very fond of naming their cars after what they thought were foreign exotic places.

Using the best cheating AI stuff, I put this into chatgpt: For every ford model name ever made, list only those whose names are also the names of towns I got back something called the Ford Versailles. I haven't googled it, so no idea if it's real or an AI hallucination...
