Re: Car Challenge?
I think I was a bit too quick in posting the new photo after the previous car had been identified as a Daimler Dart, but there then followed a number of exchanges so here goes againcaller wrote:Sorry, I'm confused, where are we at?

Re: Car Challenge?
As it's all gone quiet I'll throw in what I'm sure is a wrong answer just to get things going again.
Is it a Bristol, from the late sixties. I can't even think of a model except Beaufighter and it's not one of them.

Indeed very quiet and alas not a Bristol, but a British car from the early 60's!!Frank Hovis wrote:As it's all gone quiet I'll throw in what I'm sure is a wrong answer just to get things going again.

Re: Car Challenge?
With a little help from Uncle G
The AC Greyhound
The AC Greyhound was released in 1959 and ran until 1963. A two door, 4 seater with an aluminium body. In total 83 units were produced, 3 of which were left hand drive and the rest right hand drive. Easily confused with some Aston Martin models.
