Rolls Shooting Brake - not sure if this is real or photoshopped? I feel it's the latter but not sure.

That’s a photoshop, and not a great one given where the door handle/door shut and the ‘b pillar’ are in relation to each other - the original photo would have been of a Corniche I reckon.

Started off called the 'Tara King' by French designer Dominique Billiote in 1973. Used a NSU Ro80 engine.

Then, in an attempt to re-introduce it in 1981 it was called the 'Nancy, and badged as, errrrm, the 'Tony Russell'.

Interesting looking thing, wonder where it is now.

Rear seats didn't actually function as on-board toilets, as far as I'm aware.

Alfa...something.

Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale. Drop dead gorgeous.

It seems there's some variation in the front ends. The ones above have double headlights, whereas the one below has single headlights and a vent in the front wing.

But googling the above (more precisely AROnlineing the above, which is always the go to site for anything BMC related) led me to the Autobianchi Primula.

A very pretty small Italian thing that comes in 4 door, 2 door and coupe versions. Styling seems to be a cross between contemporary BMC (which was Farina anyway) and Fiat. Looks very neat. Would.
