Re: Whatsthisthen?
I've been out all day but having returned I'll have a TOH plump for Gants Hill? 
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

It's on the Central Line, there are no above ground buildings associated with the station, It was designed by the same person that designed Sudbury Hill, Arnos Grove Southgate, and Piccadilly Circus, it has echos of Moscow's platform level concourses

Re: Whatsthisthen?
Indeed I have, my cousin used to live roughly halfway between Gants Hill and Newbury Park so I would get off at Gants Hill and walk 500m to his house then a further 600ish to Newbury Park if it was rush hour and Gants Hill was very busy!!

Re: Whatsthisthen?
Not had a mystery car for a while so what do you make of this? There are clues to be found in the picture!

Re: Whatsthisthen?
Beats me. '50s or '60s I would say and possibly with a big engine, otherwise I'm stumped - but I'm not very observant. General motors? Opel?

Re: Whatsthisthen?
Dont know it from general knowledge Mick, but will hang fire on an easy look up. If no one else gets it maybe we can tease out the answer in guesses and clues.
This remains unanswered lost amongst the heardles, no holds barred have as much research as you need
