I am trying to figure out the Time frame of this old photo by identifying the cars. Any of these look familiar to any of you? Its in France. Thank you for your time in looking and trying to go down memory lane.
I don't know. I can't identify any of them. I know have a lead to look up something though. Thank you for looking. The back window does look like it. The Reliant Scimitar name was used for a series of sports car models produced by British car manufacturer Reliant between 1964 and 1986. I have a feeling that this photo is 1986 or older. It was in taken in color, its on a 35mm slide also. Was going to get an average of what the years of the cars were and make a speculation on the date of the photo.
One on the left a Simca and the one on the right a fastback Vauxhall Viva? (All probably way off the mark!) Oldfart
One on the right is an Opel Manta B (made from 1975-1981) and the one on the left is (I'm pretty sure) a Peugeot 304 saloon.from the 1970's
Definitely Opel Manta. I dont think the middle one is a Scimitar, my uncle had one and it had a single long oddly shaped rear side window with no rear door. I think a Renault (20 ???) fits the bill. Another vote for a Peugeot of some sort for the one on the left.
Yes i think for me its definitely a Renault 20 in the middle, the raised lump in the bumper (number plate light?) is a good sign. Also the lights being illuminated in the photo match the position of the reversing lights. Chrome trim around the window and across the roof also significant.
Peugeot 304 Renault 20 Opel Manta 1.9 approx 1979-81 era for all. The manta might be either chrome but more than likely plastic black grained bumpers before going big bumper and different front panel with twin vents in 1982 change over. There you have it. I worked on all
