Doesn’t “Del Mar“ have one of these?

Is it not a De Tomaso Guara that he has?

 

[Ebenezer]

Q is for Qvale, another small Italian independent who only made 1 car the Mangusta.

Weird fact the design rights of the Mangusta were sold to MG and formed the basis of the MG SV & SVR

Didn't someone else make a car called the Mangusta? (or something similar)

De Tomaso, they sold the name to Qvale but not the badge hence it couldn't use the De Tomaso name or badges. It was actually a De Tomaso Bigua before that.

I believe the Mangusta was also named this as a Mongoose is one of the rare things that can beat a Cobra!

Sounds like the Blackbird / Hyabusa thing.

The problem with small furry animals in a corner is that occasionally they turn out to be a mongoose....

I wondered why this mercedes had a silver front end on a black car



That'll be why, the brakes don't work.
