Well, I'm guessing Kennat's is a Scimitar, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to do the exact model.

Mine, well its not mine actually, is another Hudson. ( Must not get typecast here!). A 1938 model with coachbuilt body by Coachcraft Ltd. It was in Brightwells classic car auction before Christmas. I liked the contrast between the American pointed snout and the elegant English body, but too many cars and too little time etc etc. I don't think it sold.

Not the best picture in the world but the grill might give it away.

Nutts' car is a Marlin kit car and it could have an 1800cc MGB engine fitted.

Your are correct beero. It is an MGB Berlinette.

A limited edition, coach built derivative of the MGB built in Belgium by Jacques Coune in and around 1963.

I think the photo I posted first shows the car at its best angle (rear three quarters). The front view
below is not so well proportioned with the over sized windscreen.

You're not wrong, it looks a bit odd from the front, and the sidelight/indicators are the wrong way round to the way the factory cars were.

I suspose it looks odd because it doesn't have the front bumpers that we're used to seeing on the MGBGT
