Hmn, not something that springs to my for the Thema mate, they usually had 5 or 8 spoke alloys from memory...
Can recall seeing that style on Uno's back in the day

All I can tell is that it is LHD (bulkhead is on the right of the image). Perhaps the shark motif (overdone a bit IMO) refers to the Corvette Mako Shark? Bit tenuous but otherwise completely stumped.

I did get the Merc though

Thought that was a gimme.

Well, I'll be dipped, it was a Mako Shark. But as for all that chrome kit under the hood - well, there's no accounting for taste (or lack of it!)

Forgot to post the two unguessed Japs... Corona and R31

2 easy ones, a 2 wheeler and one that may induce some discussion.

Vauxhall Viva HC
Ford Orion
Innocenti scooter?
Some kind of Jag....

Viva an Orion we’re we’re too easy, is there some kind of catch

Jag mk vii or mk viii, with aftermarket drop Head

They're not normally this easy - thought I'd give Kev a chance. Lol Innocenti is an early E version, owner said the front end handling is "interesting".

The Jag is actually a V8 Daimler, the roof was cut off to save another car and this elderly gent rescued it from the crusher and fabricated this himself. If you look closely it's four door on the inside but two door from the outside. They never made a 4 door. The roof is made into a T-bar (laminated wood) and when raised retains the original silhouette. Old school skills. Thought you guys would appreciate the effort to save this car and make it a genuine one off

Mk2 Jag convertible ?


Bugger !! We were typing at the same time Tony. You beat me.

Appreciate the chance to shine mate, only because I caught the timings right

28k on the "Onion" one owner from new. Real survivor.

Here you go Tony.

The scooter aside from being a very different design has a perfect finish and then lots of inner cable left over sticking out from all the control cables.

A very odd thing to do after restoring to that very high standard.

Daimler is quite an impressive project to have completed. Impressed.

Thanks for the 2nd pic Keith been Googling all week and thought I had it at one point. That headlight is a shocking fit in the surround, is it meant to look like that?

To be honest Tony, the light is set back and the photo is at a slight angle.
The side light and indicator is a Ford unit, and the car is British.

The light and indicator look like they are from a Mk2 Cortina

Aston Martin DBS

Well done Tim.
Early DBS6 . The V8 engine development was still having teething problems, so early cars had all the old DB6 running gear. Later models lost the rear pillar vent.
I believe you are correct with the Cortina light unit.

!950' MG Sportster.

Ok another....

Wow ! I thought Tony's were getting hard
Silver car looks a bit 70's French, is that wheel rim really screwed to the wheel.
Last one , an old Bentley?

Educated guess Lagonda?

No not a Lagonda, one more then reveal.....it has a V4 engine....
