What's the bronze saloon between the Mini and Escort van? Chrysler Valiant?

personally I like the almost beige Jag .. getting up close and personal behind the cute little red mini

 

..mind you that 1100 is getting in on the act too.

[Amishtat]

No, I meant the one visible over the Cortina's a-pillar. Still reckon it's a Valiant

when I came across this picture a while back I was grinning no end, because I have a m8 from Manchester who utterly hates invacars, (partly probably because I wont shut up about them ) so I was grinning like a mad man as i sent him that photograph

I tend to agree.  Those rear lights seem to be on 1966/7 models and on some export versions.  Plymouth Barracudas of that period also sported very similar rear lights but they did not appear to have produced a sedan, only fastbacks and coupes.  Their version of the Valiant had different rear lights.

Is that Syd Barrett sitting beside the rear quarter panel?

[JeeExEll]

Yes.

[davocano]

Yes.

 

Cool! Is that Roger Waters inside the car?

[JeeExEll]

Do you mean the one snorting coke or the other one?

[Amishtat]

No, Rog is hanging onto the pillar while the bugle kicks in..

[JeeExEll]

Could be. He looks about to vomit.

That bloke just chillin with the faded green shirt won't be happy.

Correct.

An Aussie Valiant Regal or VIP. Somebody had a fairly unsucsessful  try at selling them in UK

Yes, it was Chrysler UK tried that.   Supposed to have offered Super Snipe and Hawk buyers a replacement but most of them chose to die instead when the cars needed replacing.......

Quite a while ago I remember seeing a picture of Larry Grayson standing in front of a new Valiant in a Rootes showroom somewhere. It would have been in Popular Classics or Practical Classics more years ago than I want to think about

Looks like a scene from a film from around 1971 ( Vanishing Point / Easy Rider / Two Lane Blacktop, etc.), but it's the Hocus Pocus V8 Capri posted in today's Ebay Tat thread before it was painted red. (Pics here are not from the ad listing).
