Help Needed: Identify this car!

stemill · September 19th, 2006, 4:57 PM

Hey!

Some **** hit a mate's car.
We got the cctv footage but it's not much help.

Anyone recognise the type of car the culprit is driving??

the green one looks like a merc and the red like a peugeot.

stemill · September 19th, 2006, 5:06 PM

Yeah it's the green one we're after, kinda looks like a Merc C class? but not too sure.

Thanks!

I'd say Merc C-CLass too.

Jacobfox · September 20th, 2006, 3:57 AM

C klasse for sure
or at least a chinese knock off

Seems like you need one of those magic image enhancers from CSI ...

Joking aside...I agree with the others' guesstimates.

the front does look like a c class, but the rear doesn't... and by the look of it, its the latest model of the C class, but I don't think any c class, even 180 comes with Hubcaps right?

Looks more like a Ford Scorpio IMO.

I'd say C class, headlights kinda give it away but theres a couple of cars including a hyundai i think that have that shape as well.

Jacobfox · September 20th, 2006, 7:47 AM

the 180 still comes with steel rims as standard, or at least it does in India.

I go for the current C-Class as well. Those don't have to be hubcaps though, Merc has a lot of rims with a large area and only small holes. Could well be those.

the rear profile still doesn't convince me its a c-class though... but honestly, even if we confirm its a C-class or anycar, how is a green c-class going to help the police to find the guy?

Sadly that is exactly what I was thinking. My first guess was C class, but then reading other peoples posts about the back end and looking at that grainy footage made me start to question myself, but C class still gets my vote because of the front.

Now all you have to do is track down all the owners of greenish, probably, C classes....there can't be more then a couple of thousand of those.

Sadly it is a pretty normal colour on a pretty normal car. Such a pity it wasn't some kind of exotic or in a strange colour to make it easy.

On a side note, remind me that if I ever have a store or something to install decent cameras that will actually be useful. They put them in and then you get a dodgy, blurry picture which is pretty much useless. Like when a place gets robbed and the footage is about 1 frame every 10 seconds and an ultra-crappy quality picture which you can hardly make out, let alone actually identify the person who robbed the store.
