Replying to: andys120 (Oct 15, 2008 11:29 am) Yes, it's an HRG - I think this one was a 1500, but the 1100 was pretty much identical. THey only made about 150 in total, but so many of them seem to have survived - I think they always sold to enthusiasts, a bit like Morgans, so not many got scrapped. This one was registered in London in late 46 early 47. Replies to this message: hudsonthedog (Oct 15, 2008 12:56 pm) magnette (Oct 15, 2008 2:13 pm)

Replying to: magnette (Oct 15, 2008 11:30 am) Well, it's a bathtub Nash, I will guess '51. I can't read the script on the side, but it looks to have enough letters to make the car an Ambassador. Replies to this message: magnette (Oct 15, 2008 2:08 pm)

Replying to: bhill2 (Oct 15, 2008 11:47 am) It is a 51 Nash, but it's a Statesman Super.

Replying to: hudsonthedog (Oct 15, 2008 12:56 pm) That one looks modified - wider wheels etc too... I've seen HRG's running up Prescott hill climb, and in historic races and sprints - they are really a post war vintage style car.

This one should be easy - bonus points for the cars in the background ? Replies to this message: boomchek (Oct 15, 2008 3:18 pm) magnette (Oct 15, 2008 11:44 pm) boomchek (Oct 16, 2008 11:27 am) karsick (Oct 15, 2008 3:31 pm) fintail (Oct 15, 2008 6:44 pm) magnette (Oct 15, 2008 11:34 pm)

Replying to: magnette (Oct 15, 2008 2:16 pm) Is that a Reliant of some sorts. They only seem to make geeky 3 wheelers. Are those common in the UK? On a side note: If you pull up in a Reliant to a party, or to pick up your hot date, does the car make you look nerdy, smart, or sophisticated? Or is it not that big of a curiosity in the UK? Have you ever driven one magnette? Replies to this message: magnette (Oct 15, 2008 11:44 pm) boomchek (Oct 16, 2008 11:27 am)

Replying to: magnette (Oct 15, 2008 2:16 pm) .....Bond Bug! Background: Yellow Triumph Spitfire Mk4 & Stag; MG TC, TD & one of those early 90's Rover V8 MGB thingies. There's a goldish MGBGT waaaay in back, a BRG TR7 or TR8 roadster next to a black TR2, and a 70's Orange Jensen Interceptor.

Replying to: karsick (Oct 15, 2008 3:31 pm) I think the Jensen is a Healey
#18634 of 23901 Re: Thin end of the wedge [karsick] by magnette Oct 15, 2008 (11:34 pm)
Replying to: karsick (Oct 15, 2008 3:31 pm) Yes, this is a Bond Bug - 1970/74. I would agree with most of your choices for the background, (and you have good eyeight and a good monitor) but the Jensen is, as fintail observed, a Jensen-Healey. However the yellow car next to the Spitfire is a Reliant Scimitar GTC - they made those as an alternative to the GTE in the early 80's.
