JeeExEll Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Some sort of amphibious Mk1 Granada. Also known as the Herzog Conte Shwimmwagen. What a fab thing for going your holidays in. Capable of driving through duckponds or across rivers whilst still retaining the ability to blend in discreetly with supermarket traffic. 'Capable of 100mph on land' apparently.

barrett Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 That's a good question. I have no idea, but I'd put money on the fact it should have a pop-up headlamp cover which is missing. Might narrow it down some? Lacquer Peel and sdkrc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Jetter Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Might it be another SD1 that's had a bit of an OSF prang? sdkrc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNWeigh Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I’d love it to be something rare and exotic like an ISO Fidia or a Rapport Ritz , with , as @barrett suggests the pop up panel missing . But I think @High Jettermay be onto something with his damaged SD1 with Federal lights theory. Lacquer Peel, High Jetter and sdkrc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an oddly proportioned thing, the lights are tiny and the door mirror is huge. Something says 70s Japanese to me, but I can't place it.

Spiny Norman Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I also wonder if the headlamps aren't a bit of a red herring, they look very much like the late E30 BMW ones but it's no BMW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough my first thought was Colt Sapporo, but those giant door mirrors and slight bulge of the rear wing don’t really fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeeExEll Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I thought 78 Celica Liftback but we can eliminate that one too. Also thought about Colt Celeste but it's definitely not one of those. Or any Datsun I can think of. Or Mazda. So WTF is it? Shite Ron and sdkrc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteersWithThrottle Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 The shape of the chrome trim on the windscreen is clearly SD1; it's identical to the one that's for sale. I'm with High Jetter on this one. High Jetter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ruled it out for the same reason - and because the crease line is crisper on the mystery car. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what the lights may well look like with the front element smashed, and just parts of the reflector remaining, or something as simple as an aftermarket part. Look at the shape of the wing at the front, the cutout matches perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
