Auto Zürich - Klassiker unter rotem Tuch

Identifying the car under the gray cloth is a little more difficult, but there are clues that allow you to narrow it down.

To solve the mystery, the three vehicles are a Jaguar E-Type V12 Cabriolet, a Porsche 911 and an Aston Martin DB6 Volante. They can all be seen in the classic car hall at Auto Zürich, which is open until Sunday.

Want to bet that you'll have a much harder time recognizing the modern cars?

P.S. The cars are of course uncovered and neatly labeled during the fair, so you can only puzzle over them with us.
