Replying to: andys120 (Oct 21, 2008 12:27 pm) That view is utterly classic on first glance, but the details are flat-out weird. The umbrella-style handbrake was common to some US cars from the '60s and persisted on some Asian pickups till the '80s at least. The windshield has a pretty severe wrap-around shape. The shifter placement's odd--awfully close to the dash. The square minor dials suggest 1970s vintage, and the speedo is in MPH. All in all, an odd mix of some Italianate elements and some American. But wait--does that tach really go to 9000 rpm? Hmmm. Jensen-Healey? Or some sort of kit car?

Replying to: hudsonthedog (Oct 21, 2008 12:09 pm) The MG at the right on the third row is a rubber bumper Midget and the open hood car is certainly not an MGA - it looks like a mk III Escort or something, but anyway, its more modern and much squarer. I can only add that on the extreme left, on the front row, is a rear corner of a Jag E-type 2+2 |
