Here's a 'Z' for the collection. Sorry it's not a closer shot, but in my defence I didn't know 20 years ago when I took the photo that you'd be asking for such pictures

A Zil - own work

[NewcastleFalcon]

Well dug out! Wiki on Zil (Zavod imeni Likhachyova) and more commonly called ZiL (Russian: ???)

Falcon Personal Collection so far 25 out of 26.
Austin, Bristol, Citroen, DeLaHaye, ERF, Ford, Genesis, Hillman, Ioniq (Hyundai), Jowett, , Karmann Ghia, Lotus, Morris, Nissan, Porsche, QashQui (Nissan), Rover, Subaru, TVR, UNIC, Velocette, Willys , XK (Jaguar), Yamaha, Zoe (Renault)

I'll leave the "O" for now....Optare is quite common on a bus, and Opel not out of range of possible spots. Made more so with folk coming from "the Continent" off the ferry and heading through Northumberland up to Bonnie Scotland.

Falcon Personal Collection additions
Pending a fairly unlikely spot of an Isuzu, or Isetta or Innocenti this model name will have to do for now for the "I's"

Again, can't think of a spottable manufacturer of cars/trucks/motorbikes/mopeds/buses beginning with Q, but our friends at Nissan provide us with a very common two "Q's" for the price of 1 model name...

"X" is also a sparse highly currently unspottable Maker so we have to rely on model name...

While bobins came up with a Z maker again extremely sparse on the spotting front so out comes the Zoe.

A proper "O"...but the literal makers name ie Opel appears nowhere on the Vehicle. The Badge is the maker.

Go to Ukraine

Lots of old wrecks litter the countryside with Z on them.............

[NewcastleFalcon]

The full Set for the Falcon personal challenge. Managed to get the missing "O" yesterday, but also saw a couple of ISUZU's and IVECO's in passing on the road but not photographable which would replace the less than satisfactory IONIQ model name currently residing in the "I" slot.

Yugo's maker Zastava would fill your Z space, sold a couple but no photo.

I've got the "Zoe" in there at the minute, but yes that's the model name not the maker's name of course, but it seems Renault in common with many others, are a bit reluctant to use the literal word "Renault" on any of their car badging relying on the logo to transmit meaning of the "Renault" brand, and the Model whether Clio, Megane, Kadgar, Captur, Arkana are the bold words on the cars.

There's another thing to look out for, a photo of the literal word "Renault" on a Renault Car!

Thanks Mick, but the kudos awaits for an original photograph, sure someone will have one lying around. I'll set myself the limitation of a new original close up shot of the full word "Renault" on an appropriate vehicle, for me on that quest. The family had a Renault phase for a short while and one or two pics exist but not particularly close up pictures, and I have photographed some Renault tractors and posted them up here more recently.
