Guess what this is

unkel

Met a dude a few weeks ago that owns one. Have to admit I hadn't heard of it and probably not seen it either

Do you know what it is?

Mmmmm .... trying to think - I know it but just not coming to me - was used in a TV series in the 60's...

No, but I want one.
Looks British. Like the bastard child of a disgruntled Aston engineer maybe?

Interceptor

Late Austin Healey 3000 with rare coupe body?

Good guess but no cigar. It sure looks like the Volvo P1800 driven by Simon Templar (Roger Moore) in The Saint

Not bad either. Was there a coupe indeed?

My dad's first car was a '64 sprite MkII



I spent a lot of time in my Moses basket behind the front seats

God this is bad ....senile dementia has finally set in ... I used to drool over these cars some years back - had pics saved on my old PC - but can I think of the name - NO - some of them had a quad headlamp set up as well I think

VERY hot. Different model, same make

I belive that is either a Jensen (410?) or a Peerless. But I could be wrong

BrianD3

Surfer

is this an Alvis? It looks like an Alvis badge on the bonnet.

BrianD3

OK it is a Jensen but it's a 541 not a 410 (no such thing as a 410 AFAIK, I might have been mixing it up with a Bristol model)

129 of which 105 had the Rolls-Royce 4 speed autobox. Built between 1960 and 1964, it has an Austin 4.0 liter straight 6 engine

Yeah that's the one - I first saw one of these a few years ago in a tv crime series 'The Baron' (not the saint) and just loved it
