Doh...alright then. It's a Rochdale Olympic (kinda appropriate right now)!

One more for giggles!

A wee clue. Same era, same country! I'm sure there must be some of these in America?

Ahh grasshopper, you have much to learn! You keep testing my knowledge, are you satisfied yet?

I can tell by the little bits of sheetmetal I can see in the pic. The radiator support isn't car color, it's flat black because it's a bolt on item and all of those cars have that feature. That, and the washer tank, and the power steering bottle, and..... I can keep going!

(I'm surprised you aren't wondering how I know it's a 1.8L...)

Do you see the red dipstick?(it's in between the middle trumpets) 2.0L motors have a gray one.

(Blocks are different enough to warrant a different dipstick. )

[Nick F40]

ohhhh thank you

ummm

and this

[dub]

This is some freak Brit concoction. It looks like the 3cyl turbo diesel from the Lupo and Polo installed in a Mk2 Scirocco!!! ;)

(It looks lost in there!)

This is another British creation. It's a Mk3 Jetta (Vento over there) with a 24 valve VR6 running more ITB's!

and this

I'm not sure about this one.... I can tell it's supposed to mid mounted, so that seems to rule out any German metal. Is it Italian?
