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?

Show your working out.

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.

Thanks for the clarification. Is it about maths or arithmetic? Asking for a friend struggling… Should we take in count the number of valves too?

Bob. 4 x 8 = 32
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

Alfaholic should be qualifying in the top 10 on the gridAlfaholic should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
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!

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.
