Remspoor Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Riley One-Point-Five/ Wolseley 1500 were not in production in 1952. Here is the best screen shot I can get. I have been though some of the years between 45 and 53 to see if there is anything similar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Cars_by_year_of_introduction Nearest I could find was theStandard 8 , (with some disguising). It was introduced the same year too. JeeExEll and bunglebus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching this one & the Incredible Seven (reel 2) I was struck by the assembly line guys using the old pump action Yankee screwdrivers. I bought an old one of those for Christmas & it's ability to just "fuck off" at the first opportunity & spear anything nearby must have made for quite a bit of "fixes to paintwork" being needed !

JeeExEll Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 That's a really interesting find. Early 50s prototype development car after the Mk1 Consul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Odd isn't it - at first I thought it was a disguised prototype but the roof etc is different. Mystery. Seen the back? JeeExEll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggersdog Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I thought at first maybe a 50's Alfa saloon but the bonnet is wrong. As it's a Ford proving ground , a European prototype Edsel ( judging by the bonnet and grille ) perhaps. JeeExEll and bunglebus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeeExEll Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Edsel styling crossed my mind too but the actual production car wasn't till much later in 1957/8. Maybe they had drawn it up early 50s though. Have never seen that vid before, that's made my day, there's a serious lack of 50s and 60s prototype Ford material out there. Anything I find gets posted on one of the two pics threads on here. meggersdog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I was looking at where the door handles are, does it look like there's 2 lots together- as in maybe suicide doors at the back? I did wonder if it might be foreign. Fiat or Lancia perhaps??

Mr Pastry Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I don't think it is a Fiat or Lancia, as I used to be involved in such things. It must be a Ford prototype of some kind - very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETCHY Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I reckon you're right it might be a prototype. Here's some pics of a crashed 100e prototype. Different front as this is a 2 door so probably an Anglia but note what looks like an external spare wheel at the back so may be something similar??

JeeExEll Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Fantastic. And fascinating. There's a whiff of Mk1 Escort about that rear side window, in a 15-years beforehand way. ETCHY and Sudsprint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Pastry Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 The car in the main screen shot seems to have a 100E style track control arm visible. Also quite large wheels - 15 or 16 inch? From the rear, wheel angles are interesting, IRS? JeeExEll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, this lad is a good friend of mine and he’s very passionate about the kind of crap we all like - but he’s rather talented in many ways. If you are a fan of resto videos and like classic British stuff, this is for you. If not, the very fact that you are reading this means this is for you also.. Enjoy! CFD I’ve just caught up with this one. It’s truly extraordinary - an absolutely mesmerising film. Restoring a rusty Range Rover is a shitload of work on its own, without the slight* complication of making a feature-length, beautifully framed and lit stop-motion movie of it. Sheer lunacy. Of the very best kind. Sudsprint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking again about this car, it was/is quite common for prototypes to be disguised for testing on public roads, so that probably explains the odd looking grille and external spare wheel.
