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.

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

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

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

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

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

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