AnthonyG Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Mrs Fox looks a trifle nervous in the first pic, and tbh I’m not surprised. This may be where BSA got the inspiration* for the Aerial 3 from. egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a homebrew, an actual option that was available towards the end of the car's production to allow Chevy to use more aero parts in racing. Basically a US homologation special.

Muniphobia Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 The Fiat Idea was so called after the last thing Michael Caine said in the Italian Job "hold on lads, I've got a great idea" (probably) SmoothieAuxFruit and lesapandre 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeeExEll Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 What the fuck is it?? 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. Aston Martin, adw1977, BL Bloke and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lesapandre Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I saw one in France - a bit generic really looking like a lot of other cars. Not imported into UK or other RHD markets!

Yoss Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 It's not everyday you come across a new (to me) variant of the trusty ADO16 but thanks to eggs post in ebay tat that happened today. The Innocenti IM3. Seems to come with a variations in seats and steering wheels. And a great badge. Sudsprint, LightBulbFun and egg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 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.
