ROUND 2 ANALYSIS #2 Bogliq


RELATION TO ERA
There are some improvements from last round, such as in the grill, and the chrome has been increased to a nice amount. Also, there is a lot more innovation in this car as I found the previous round’s car quite bland. The colour is still a little too modern however, and the gold wheels, like seriously lol?
3/5 No improvement overall


DESIGN
As I said just mentioned, there is a significant higher level of innovation in the design side, apart from those yellow lights which I still hate, however on the whole you have taken the comments on board and listened to them. The grill is completely different from last round which is a good thing.


The paint scheme on the side is to modern and the coloured wheels are practically non existent in this era. However unlike the previous car the chrome lining fills a hole that the other car couldn’t fit. At least this time the guy at the back isn’t having petrol poured on him via the fuel cap!

This is probably my favourite rear end so far in the two rounds. Simplistic yet stylish and ends of the car quite well.

7/10 +1 from last round!


ENGINE
ok… the first I6 of the series. Until future images I cant comment too much on whether this is effective or not, but the 2200cc engine is bigger then most and has nearly the same horsepower as Manche’s engine which is a smaller I4.


3/5 Same as last time


ADDONS AND SUSPENSION
Automatics are terrible in this era… RIP Bogliq…


Standard seats are three preferred really for this era

2/5 -2 from last time


CAR ADVERTISEMENT
Finally a really good advert!!!
9/10

There is an improvement from last time, but it is pretty minimal

ROUND 2 ANALYSIS #3 LLA


RELATION TO ERA
There is little improvement from last round, and the introduction of a V12 engine and things such as hoods on the front make a very 70s style car which is rather out of place!
2/5 -2 from last round :frowning:

DESIGN
Although some things are out of era, I cant go without saying that a lot of work and innovation has gone in which I cannot fault. The grill, main headlamps and the bumper bar are realistic, however I’m having second thoughts about the indicators


Your side is nearly identical to the previous rounds side, which was praise for its simplicity and effort

Where is the reverse lights :disappointed: Apart from that the indented and protruding features bring a nice touch

5/10 -1 from last round!


ENGINE
ok… the first v12 of the series. Until future eras there isn’t really a market at all for it . A 2.2 litre v12 is practically unheard of, most v12s are at least 3.5 litre. I don’t even know what to say!


Again, performance intake and 6 carburettors are way overkill for the era and the engine size

1/5 -3 from last time :disappointed:


ADDONS AND SUSPENSION
A v12 with 106mph limit… At least it isn’t an automatic lol!


Nothing much else here
3/5 No change here


CAR ADVERTISEMENT
Pretty good advert, however standards are rising quickly so you might need to step up a gear next round

someone hasn’t heard of the Ferrari Colombo engine…

reverse light? they were barely a thing in an era where mirrors where sold as a ‘safety option’ and even then, only one 1 side.

or dedicated indicator lamps were even mandated… and ones they do don’t have amber colored glass on the outside.
up until the 60s/70s not quite sure when. blinking the tailight on one side was a thing to ‘emulate’ turn indicator without using a separate dedicated fixtures for them.

so i’d knock it down over the amber colored turn signal over not having a reverse light :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, but I would agree it isn’t the most practical engine to use at that price point. Looks like it could rev a little higher too. It’s not a bad car at all though. I like the grill design.

it isn’t the most practical, but it’s well within the region of possibility for 1950.

ROUND 2 ANALYSIS #4 LMC


RELATION TO ERA
So lets see what last round’s winner is going to pull out of the bag! With the full recycling of last rounds engine bringing in an extra £2000 we shall see. On the whole, There are a few improvements and it is almost as if it took Ardents car and make it look so much better. The only main complain is the tail lights being too modern
4/5 +1 from last round


DESIGN
With a custom designed grill, the bravos looks quite different to other cars, setting it out from the rest of the pack. And although the indicator is unrealistic and personally i hate the yellow lights on the grill, it is more my personal taste that has a problem and not the overall public.


When your car is a sleek black colour, simplicity often makes the car actually look better. Although there is a lack of chrome linings apart from near the windows, it does make the car sleek and streamlined, which I do like a lot.

As I said in the era relation section, the tail lights are a little too modern. However reverse lights are there and the minimalistic design continues nicely.

8/10 +3 from last round!

ENGINE
with a small and efficient 1350cc I4, the engine (which was the same as last time) proved to be such a success that they decided to reuse it, and what a good idea it was as it will maintain the 5/5 it gained last time


5/5 same as last time


ADDONS AND SUSPENSION
The only thing that does seem to confuse me just a little bit is the sports compound tires. With such an efficient and sleek car designed for long trips would at least require a medium compound as the car isn’t really built for sports. For that it needs a larger engine


The interior is of a higher quality than the previous round while maintaining the same level of entertainment. Ill have to wait to the sellability to comment on that as I am not sure if it is going to work or not

4/5 No change here

CAR ADVERTISEMENT
A very good advert which practically destroys your old one. It is very era correct, in black and white and contains very innovative and persuasive language.
8/10 +2 from last round

SELLABILITY
A slight downgrade, which would usually deduct around one point, but seeming a lot of the cars in the round have drastically improved theirs it would have to be a little harder hit.

there is so much wrong imo. wrong era taillight.
that’s been dealt with.
wrong indicator color. but i’ve said that already.
that’s the wrong era rims/wheels.
the side vents are… ehhhh. more like the 60s. like 60s jaguar side vents.
yellow fog lamps? was that a thing in the pre50s? i thought those only became a thing after 60s, but not sure when.

but. take it with a grain of salt. this is an opinion

but. a good score for an oversteering car is just plain “WHAT?”

an oversteering STAGGERED TIRES car at that. not only that increases the service costs dramatically. it’s… “what did you even do to get it that wrong?”

ROUND 2 ANALYSIS #5 Franklin


RELATION TO ERA
I know I fell in love with the last car. But i have never seen a land rover at all, let alone in 1950. The first land rover was built in 1948 making this completely viable. There is no one whatsoever in this area of the market, and it will probably be the best selling car of the series so far, even if the sellability says otherwise. Very era correct, no out of era features et cetera.
5/5 +2 from last round


DESIGN
You have got to love this. I don’t even have to say anything really do I lol? the pictures eat my words. God knows how long this took to build…




10/10 First 10 out of 10 for design in the competition


ENGINE
with a medium sized heavy duty 2200cc i4 engine, designed to be beefy but still remain economical. However it will be quite noisy with only one baffled muffler but what is the point in having a quiet monster?




4/5 same as last time


ADDONS AND SUSPENSION
For a 3 speed manual 4x4, 80 miles an hour is very respectable. And as I said before it is in its own class and zone, I hope to see more of these in the future


Typical chunky off-road tires which are absolutely humongous!

standard seats with no entertainment fits the early land rovers well
5/5


CAR ADVERTISEMENT
Unfortunately the advert lets it down when we need something to get us interested in a lovely car there isn’t very much. No innovative language and no price
4/10 same from last round


SELLABILITY
Very respectable with affordability and competitiveness, but I am going to give it extra points for hitting an area nobody else is hitting


9/10

koolkei can you please stop downgrading my analysation, feel free to message me about it but don’t openly disagree with me as my word goes

what… please read again. i said nothing about your judgement.
i just stated my opinion about the car. the object. i said literally nothing about your judgement.

i’m trying to post a feedback to the creator of the car more than i’m trying to give you a hard time.

but. if you still don’t like it. i’ll stop now.

i’m sorry but that car looks NOTHING likesomething from 1950. i would’ve given it a 3/10, maybe a 4 at a push.
