Can anyone identify the Black car in this 1981 PIF:

At first I thought it was a Hillman Avenger, but the wing mirrors are in the wrong place and there is no window divider on the front windows.

 

Its not an 81' Honda Accord as the bottom window is too curved on the car in the film.  I've tried to capture the numberplate towards the end, it looks like 'CWN 807V' but that comes up as a Chevette which this car is most definately not.

This might be a repost but I thought id share it anyway.... This is what i imagine and autoshite version of top gear would be like....

 

[cms206]

Possibly Le Top Gear - most likely a Shite Gear feature on why no-one really needs a Lambo.

[Spiny Norman]

Would have been soooo funny if he'd stuffed le 205 into the GayLardo as he was passing.

Hey cms! That's weird I was going to post the same video!
Did you find it via a post on reddit?

[cms206]

Oddly enough no, was going through my YouTube favourites from a few years back and fell over stuff I forgot about. Facebook got a lot worse shared on it

I posted this link before but (perhaps appropriately) it got lost in The Great Breakdown.

 

BL training film from the mid 1970s which attempts to educate its workforce not to build rubbish cars. Rather a disturbing conclusion. Worth a watch.

The guy seems to do a few car reviews all equally as odd.

One of my fave's is this Volvo 240-you will need the sound too

Hilarious and I laughed at the RX7 wheels falling off malarky, too.

I liked the way that the top Ewings like J.R all had Mercs with number plates Ewing 1, Ewing 2 etc.

We've got no freaking wheels!

Here's 6 mins of people finding out that their car ain't an F1 car. plenty of turbos and chargers popping

Not sure how long this will stay up but a highly enjoyable episode.

I wasn't sure about their plans to change the colour but actually it looks fantastic, now I want a Syrena.  Not an £8000 one though.

Rather nasty! That poor grange hill caretaker didn't have much luck with BL products did he?

[brickwall]

I like the Police Range Rover snuck in at the back of that film

These have probably been posted before...but I've just been pointed to theses by a mate. Worth a look.

That's horrific that BL video, I still can't understand why they felt the need to involve a baby in the pram, surely the driver and pedestrian would have been enough for effect!
