Anyone name the car (without delving off to Wikipedia)?

Could it be a Genesis? (Sorry, couldn't resist).

From previously reading the Wikipedia article for this album (at least I'm honest) I'm fairly sure it is a Lancia. That's as far as my skills* go. This album has Solsbury Hill on it.

And then I realised where I'd seen this before, @Spiny Norman's avatar photo!

I thought it was a photo from the 80s of the actor who plays Kevin Webster arriving at Granada Studios for filming

Just googled that, the likeness is scary!

That's a fantastic picture.

Pic of my grandparents that I'd never seen before last night.

I believe that's a '66 Dodge Dart.

[JeeExEll]

Did you know they'd had a lhd Dodge Dart?

[Datsuncog]

Heh, it wasn't their Dodge - the pic was taken in Canada in 1968, while they were out visiting family who'd emigrated.

At the time, my grandfather was running either an Austin A40 with a home-made floor, or an Austin 1100. Not quite so exciting!

I dunno, home made floors can be quite...interesting

Heh, when I say home made - this one was built by a team of machine engineers on a Saturday morning (my grandfather was a works foreman), probably using half-inch steel plate... apparently, there were a team of guys and basically all they did for Saturday overtime was repair other employees' cars using company materials.

I'm quite sure the replacement floor would have outlived the rest of the car by quite some margin!

[Datsuncog]

Anyways, back on track...
