Because, Gerard, it was Stirling Moss who mainly drove it in period, it was provided by BRM as a private entry for him. That 'clue' was to bring Moss to mind in the hope the franc might drop.. No chance

Thanks for the clarification. Anyway, I tend to think that if someone on here found an acceptable or "right" answer it just means that it could be done by others. The delay of transmission is another story.

A nice simple sum, how do you get a Maserati out of this lot?

Oh! Dear, no replies, no enquiries, no complaints! Is it something I wrote?
Maybe with the upcoming, people lose interest in trivial things, so a clue to the last puzzle. The BRM has sixteen cylinders, the rest have less. Does that help, it is all about basic maths.? It adds up, well not just add up. |

32 divide by 16 = 2 Then 1 + 2 = 3 3 x 2 = 6. A 250f Maserati has six cylinders. Therefore a Ford Escort times a Rover SD1, divided by a BRM is two. A Cooper pus a Morgan equals 3 And two times three is six = a Maserati. When I was in school, a long, long time ago, I was top of English every year, and usually near last at arithmetic. I failed 11+ because of my arithmetic. No wonder I have been a failure all my life |

OR...
A Fourd () Escort + an SD1 + 16 cylinders + 3 wheels + 500cc + 124 (on the number plate) = 648 And THIS Maserati has 648 as part of it's VIN number Is that my coat? How very kind of you! |

Im at a loss with this one. I seem to fail on even understanding the cryptic questions.
Seems tailor made for Gerry Mo. French cars and menus |

I was only joking, I thought the big clue was a Lago Talbot. Lago being slow in music I really thought it was L'escargo, because none of the cars were really quick ones. Sorry Bob.
