But what is the ivory coloured car? I'm sure it's not a 36 Buick. It's bugging me.
If it had bullet holes in it I would say it belonged to Bonney and Clyde!

Well done, it certainly is a '35 Terraplane!Its the standard steel bodied saloon, this particular one was assembled from ckd in the Hudson factory in London, hence RHD and a period Liverpool registration.
The Buick guess wasn't far out either. Alot of mid thirties American cars looked very similar...

A beautiful car Iain and a nice patina. People don't realise just how popular U.S. cars were in England in the 1930s. Their industry was at its zenith producing rugged, powerful and dependable motors.

Here is one for you gentlemen. Someone contacted me about buying it. They are asking $1000.00, but when I asked what kind of car it is they said they did not know. How could you own a car and not know what it is![frame]Image[/frame]

1957/8 Hillman Minx. Bargain at twice the price - they are worth double his asking price over here even in that condition!

Ok, great. I currently own a 1952 Singer 4 ad, a 1962 Sunbeam Alpine, and 1952 Morris minor. All of my cars are updated with modern engines. My concern would be about parts availability. This car would stay in its original condition, so original parts would be required.


Thanks, Dave

Just to keep him happy then, it's a Rover P6, looking at the honeycomb grill I'd say early 70's, probably a 2 litre SC as I cant see a TC badge, though there could be a 3.5 litre V8 under there of course.........

P6'S used to be the fast response car for Birmingham Bobbies. Lovely n comfortable (specially when in the back :roll: )

It is a 1972, Rover P6 2000 TC......he shopped all badges out. He owns and drives that car and it is currently stored in South Yorkshire Transport Museum.

OK, a bit of a trick question, as this was basically the same as a car sold under a different name.

We would call that a Henry J here in the states.

It's a Kaiser Henry J as Indian says but actually badged as another make, made for Sears who already had a well-established range of 'Allstate' batteries, antifreeze etc.

Under this guise it was not a success.

Looks like another of your Yank specials, Iain. I'd say a GM (Oldsmobile?) chassis with a coachbuilt English body.
