#36 of 24933: this is a tough one... by Mr_Shiftright HOST; Apr 02, 2005 (6:15 pm)

I actually used to own one of these, so they are real,(that is, not a kit car) and while rare, one does see them for sale from time to time.

HINT: body is fiberglass, running gear is Triumph Herald

Looks like a Triumph Herald A-pillar and windshield...that's all I can tell

hint 2: this car's namesake wouldn't be caught dead in one of these while in her majesty's service.

Looks like Bob's batting 1.000.

Perhaps he'll get this one too->

Humber?

#43 of 24933: hmmm... by Mr_Shiftright HOST; Apr 02, 2005 (9:08 pm)

not sure...it's definitely British and definitely mass-produced...those "frenched" headlights suggest to me a Ford product but I can't think of the various names they used...looks like a late 50s car.

Ford 105E Anglia, like in Harry Potter

That's it Fintail. I cleverly chose a photo that hides the distinctive shape of the C-pillar that characterizes the 105E Anglias. These were favorites of hotrodders on this side of the pond in the 60s and 70s as they could accept a bigger motor and were light.
