That's an 850, no 460s were fitted with 5 stud wheels.

 

19/22 - mk1 Punto?

[Bucketeer]

The pictures really do look like it's an 850 but I'm sure(*) it was a 460 when I walked past it. Oh well.

[Bucketeer]

19/22 - mk1 Punto?

You be good.

[Lacquer Peel]

It's only the 5 stud wheels and the slightly longer and sleeker stance that gave it away to me, the design's quite similar.

I got the Punto but this is a stinker. Maybe an earlyish Clio...

[Skizzer]

Mk5 Escort, innit.

Proper Saab 900?

[Bucketeer]

Nope. As a clue, it's not Swedish, Mexican or Samoan.

[Lacquer Peel]

309?

[KruJoe]

Just woke up and LP beat me to my own guess again. BLX.

Yes it's a 309.

[Bucketeer]

Unbelievable.

Only didn't because I was watching The Killing on DVD then went to sleep.  Foxed by the non-orange indicator, I would probably have guessed Granada Mk3.

IVECO Daily minibus.

[KruJoe]

It's a Carina II. That bumper's a give-away.

The gods of weather have decreed that this ropey old thread shall be flashing some ankle at you all once more.

 

I'm afraid there will be no finesse to it. I'm currently hidden in the back of the car, at the bottom of the mountain I have no chance of getting back up, purloining somebody's wi-fi, busting for the necessarium and cursing the fact I only put three jumpers on. With that in mind I'll just dump all ten of the latest ponderies in one go and you can play along just for fun*. I might not be able to put up answers for a day or two due to snow, ice, trapped, cold, etc.
