Wheel arch looks taller than an E type though.

It's a rear wing, you can see the soft top from, and the door shut line looks nothing like the Dino's to me. I'm thinking TVR Chimera.

Why I discounted the Dino after my initial guess was that when I looked closer the rear has a sudden cut off at the rear where as the blue cars is more rounded at the back. Also no sign of fuel filler.

I think your TVR Chimera is a better bet you can almost see evidence of the funny rear overhang it has at the rear and also the bulky fibreglass sills and rear bumper matching the line of the sill. I think that was a really good call.

Also an interesting guess. Im sure it would be easy from any other angle.

Everyone should know Number 5.  Number 7 is the hardest but @Vista will know it but wont be happy about it lol. 9 and 10 have just been misnamed but are on the right track.

10 murcilago (however you spell it!)

Its a bit smaller than a Mercielago, more of a V10 than a V12.

Yes its only a little Gallardo but still surprising someone would dump it beside a cargo container.

However in Dubai its not the only one!

Here is some more Help with Number 9

Number 7 has been discussed on these pages previously and number 5 shouldn't require any help on this forum.

Seeing as no-one else is getting it, 7 is a Toyota 2000GT. Pretty sad to see one in this state. Where did you get that picture James?

[katana]

Ford GT - early one.

Oh I like that colour, most you see a white or silver.

I actually had that photo for a while and was going to use it but you made reference to them out of the blue and how you liked them and I was like DOH! I wont be able to show that one for a while but I posted an image of another that I had at the time to divert away. You just seem to find images when you look at others and one link leads to another, there is a bit of a photographic sub culture out there that likes to show decaying cars as an art form. There is also the dump your supercar craze that is just something they indulge in in Dubai to try show who is the richest.

Thats it!

That just leaves number 5. Its very strange like the previous quiz the last one that the forum finds the hardest.

Where did you get the image in the first place? Do you know what country the car is in?

Hmmmm It was quite a few  months ago now, if it was a recent one I could probably back track but I think it was possibly still in Japan and if not then it was the USA. I will have a look around again to see if I can find any more info about it.

The Japanese trash heaps of good stuff as they have regulations that try force most older cars off the road so loads of precious stuff just gets put to one side.
