Answer: Cavalier

The Cavalier was a large family car, made by Vauxhall from 1975 to 1995 and it replaced the Victor and was succeeded by the Vectra.

2. Which UK regional TV network had, from 1959 to 1988, a logo of a knight on horseback carrying a lance?

Answer: Anglia

The Ford Anglia was produced from 1939 to 1967, when it was replaced by the Escort. Anglias made from 1939 to 1959 were fitted with vacuum powered windscreen wipers which had a tendency to slow down or even stop if the car was driven above 40 mph.
3. In 2010, James Jay Lee held employees hostage at the headquarters of which company, before he was killed by police?

Answer: Discovery

The Land Rover Discovery began production in 1989 and won a British Design Award when it was unveiled. While Queen Elizabeth II could often be seen driving a Land Rover Defender around Balmoral, her husband Prince Philip was a fan of the Discovery.
4. Who, in 1934, became Duchess of Kent when she married Prince George, and was cousin to Prince Philip?

Answer: Marina

The Marina was made by Morris from 1971 to 1980 and was a best seller throughout its lifetime. It was designed by Roy Haynes, who had also designed the Ford Cortina Mk II and was responsible for restyling the Mini in 1969, known as the Clubman.
5. According to legend, what did an angel turn to stone in Lincoln cathedral, where he can still be found sitting in Angel Choir?

Answer: Imp

The Hillman Imp was built in Scotland from 1963-1976 and was the first mass produced British car to have an engine in the back and the trunk at the front. Its lightweight design and the ease with which it could be repaired made it a popular rally car in the 60s.
6. Which 2003 movie starred Will Ferrell, James Caan and Zooey Deschanel?

Answer: Elf

The Riley Elf was based upon the Mini and was available from 1961-69, as was the Wolseley variant of the Mini, the Hornet. The main differences between the Mini and the Elf was the front grille, and the hubcap diameter was greater on the Elf.
7. What was the name of the restaurant in Prague that in 2008 became the first post Communist bloc restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star?

Answer: Allegro

The Austin Allegro had a ten year manufacturing life, starting in 1973 and although it sold well, the build quality and its strange square (quartic) steering wheel mean it is still the butt of jokes today.
8. What is a male sambar called?

Answer: Stag

The Triumph Stag was a sports tourer, only made between 1970-77 and it was made famous when Sean Connery, as James Bond drove one in the movie "Diamonds Are Forever".

Answer: Robin

Made between 1973 and 2002 by Reliant, this three wheeled, fibreglass car is legendary and until 2001 it was possible to drive one with a motorcycle license without having passed a car driving test. It was also available in a van version and an estate version and has been modified for use in banger racing.
