Been a few years since I've bought a car...

I'm sworn off projects and always say not to buy project cars, so obviously it's a massive project and is a Scottish car from new.

Bonne Chance!

Hillman Imp?

I'm guessing a Triumph Mayflower raised from the bottom of Lock Ness with a baby Nessie in it.

6 pot, yes. Triumph, no.

Got lucky* with the weather...

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Is it that  GT6? 

Edit: Reply above appeared as I replied. Doh!

[Saabnut]

Possibly an SD1 but more likely a BMW sadly

[Dyslexic Viking]

Volvo 164?

[cms206]

HORSEY HORSELESS V6

[Dyslexic Viking]

And since the large number of old Rovers on here now, I also guess a Rover of some sort.

[captain_70s]

No correct guesses yet...

 

[MorrisItalSLX]

If it’s a 6 cylinder, Jaaaaag?

[Dyslexic Viking]

Hard to guess but the tire looks thin and tall so something before 1960?

[Surface Rust]

Whitewall cross-ply, American?

[somewhatfoolish]

One of these, obvs.

Although the whitewall does suggest one of these.

Pretty sure these two statements are mutually exclusive for something that still exists! 

Unless the tyre is all that's left...

that toast would've earned you a bollocking off my gran- butter it to the edges! 😲

[IronStar]

US owned? Vauxhall Victor?

[Surface Rust]

Hudson Terraplane?

[grogee]

Zephyr 

[somewhatfoolish]

There's not a wide choice and most have already been suggested so I'm left with the Humber Super Snipe.

[ProgRocker]

Standard 8 or 10?
