Winter 'Blahs' got you? How good are you at recognizing cars?

Its been a challenging time during the pandemic, with closures and and all the uncertainty of the past.

Both spring and the hope of turning a collective corner are not far away. 

Over the years we have taken a great deal of pictures of customers cars that were in our shop or at events we participated in.  We always try and entertain or inform with our blog posts and videos but in this post we want to see just how good you are at spotting cars using only a fraction of the whole image of a car.  Its surprising how just a small detail of an iconic car is instantly recognizable and others than can be a bit of a head scratcher.

This week I will be posting selected pictures of parts of cars and I ask that you let us know what vehicle you think each one is.  Post your answer in the comments or email us:  [email protected].  Please include your answers and your contact information.

We will be taking all of the winning responses, and selecting one at random for some RSP Motorsports Merchandise including a $100 discount for any service performed at RSP Motorsports. (Open to Ontario, Canada residents only). Deadline March 1st 2021.

Here is an example of a question:

Example Question:

Commissioned in the 1930's this car ceased production in its modern form in 2019


Answer: Its a VW Beetle.  In this case its from 1979.  The pictures can get pretty challenging unless you really know your cars.

Its surprising how little of the image you need when you know the car.
Scroll down and see how you do.  We will be conducting the random draw of all the correct entries we get before March 1st 2021. One submission only please to [email protected].




Lets see how you do...
