    Now I'm wondering about the foreground. I thought Puma, but they are 'glass, so no rust.
    Looked at a few Fiats but no match. Dino has similar lines but different details.

    Alfa Duetto, mid-late 60s

    The one in the background has me stumped, I'm sure I've seen it before

    Jowett Javelin would be my guess.

    I found a matchbox toy Consul Capri when I was a kid and thought that it was a great looking car but have never seen a real one. Did they ever export them over here?

    doesn't look like it to me...some have a similar roof line but different fender, others have similar fender but different roof.

    It's out there somewhere...

    perhaps Austin Healey 3000? :)

    we've discussed them on the HAMB before, and also some folks pay attention to more cars than we usually see here.

    yup, we have talked about them before, and @Nads has one
     
  14. It blows me away with the amount of combined knowledge this forum has
     
  15. I was thinking rear engined Renault 4CV but Healey looks closer.

    The Consul Capri? That’s because they’re as rare as rocking horse poo over here too.

    The top kinda favors the Marlin I wonder if AMC borrowed it from the Consul? Like Anthony says “I’d drive it!”

    The older car is a Sunbeam-Talbot 90, made in the UK by the Rootes Group, later bought by Chrysler, then sold to Peugeot which means it's in the same trap as Chrysler again (Stelantis)... Those were sold in the US and I think featured on the Photoshop thread (they would make great customs).

    One of my favorite vintage Alpha-Romeo's.
    You all may recognize it from the film,
    "The Godfather"
    The "Corleone" name is misspelled.
    I even made a laminated place-mat out of it.
