Dirk Diggler Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 An old man on my block has had these cars sitting in his yard for years. Ive been wanting to check them out, but he keeps to himself and I rarely see him outside. Any idea what they are? I know 2 are BMWs for sure, not sure of models though, and I think the middle is an MG Quote Link to comment

HRH Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Nope, rear c pillar isn't right from that picture. Too thick, the one in the original picture is more sloped, bigger triangle. Quote Link to comment

Could you get a little farther away ?? If youd like me to, yes :P Its a pretty busy street so I couldnt really slow down to take a good picture, ill try to get a better one later Quote Link to comment

No, im just half a mile from the beach here so its a little foggy, plus the picture is from my phone so its not the best quality. But yes, California Quote Link to comment
Klystron Wrangler Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Don't know about that shadowy first one but, to the right of that, the second one appears to be a Jaguar Mk. II....though the hood bulge looks a little Rover-ish, the C-pillars say "Jag". The third is unmistakeably Triumph Harald. Quote Link to comment
Klystron Wrangler Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Wow! It could be a little 700! If that last one IS a BMW 700, that's a rare find in the States. I would try and get him to part with it! BTW: Giovanni Michelotti was responsible for the design of the 700. Michelotti is well known throughout the automotive design industry, especially for his work with the Triumph Herald. 1 Quote Link to comment
angliagt Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Looks like an early '70's Alfa GTV,a late '50's MG Magnette ZB,& a BMW 700. - Doug Quote Link to comment
Dirk Diggler Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 OK Doug was right about the MG Magnette ZB the third is definitely a 700, the first is still up in the air... I might just walk over there right now. I just dont want to offend the guy, he obviously knows what they are and kept them for a reason. The MG would look sooooo good as it is slammed and with wheels. All three have really nice patina to them EDIT Doug was right again. First is an Alfa GTV now to see how much he wants for them <_< Quote Link to comment
