I would not have identified it because it seemed to be small compared to the 125 and Opel. Nice looking car and not one that I've ever seen in the flesh. bogeyhead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front is a bit Austin 3-litre with Austin Cambridge bumpers - side glasshouse is Austin 1100-ish and rear Farina Lancia-ish....because this was a Pininfarina body. Neat.

martc Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 100th anniversary of Vladimir Lenin. October Revolution Day celebration, 1970 Izhevsk, USSR, 1970. The cars are Moskvitch 412's. A few years later (1973) a plant was built in Izhevsk to build modified Moskvitchs - the IZH Combi. The arms dealers amongst us will recognise IZH - they also make Kalshnikovs (and the Planeta motorbike). The IZH car factory was converted to arms manufacture and is still in use today.

martc Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 How many people does it take to bump start a reluctant Cortina? (it's reluctance could start a riot...). Unsurprisingly PME869F is not on the DVLA's computer. In the opposite direction, an Escort photo bombs and then turns sharp right and gets the hell out of it.

Note how the player is suspended by a bungee cord. The car is a Farina Austin Westminster. Note the vast tiller-like steering wheel and generally poor ergonomics- from a time only he-men drove big cars. In comparison ergonomics of some of the competitors were much better.

It is actually an A55 Cambridge. A99 Westie was column gear change only and the A110 Westie had either a wooden dash or metal with three dials two large and centre one being the clock. This car (the A55) has the ignition key located between the two dials. lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd place to put the ignition key - another BMC eccentricity. Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, his escapade of repairing one (slightly incorrectly so it sank overnight) was in the far East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
