Whatsthisthen?

I think it fits most, maybe even all, but obviously I do not know for sure. I think I have to rest my case....nothing obvious has jumped out in all our deliberations to say thats definitely "Snowy" bu I reckon we have given it our best shot until gibbo unearths some more pictures, maybe in the summer when the snow has gone

I'll drink to that, I think it may just have been a "look at the state of this car" photo without any worry about what car it was. So like you I am happy to put it on the back burner pending new evidence

Onward to the next he cried!!!

I'm still leaning towards it being a 100A

Snowy and 100A

I headed the way of the FII variant, which isnt that far off, because it was a bit less coke-bottle-ey and appears a bit flatter in the the panels like snowy, of course the standard 100A would fit the potential forensic lights analysis better but I have never been able to pull out a pic of the standard 100A with the upper coachline.

Anyway I like a yellow car and all the others I have posted up have been 120A FII's, this is a 100A FII. Bit rarer

I know what this is so that's a bonus. Its not Snowy! But it is another double side trim/coachline combo.

So as ever.....Whatsthisthen? I'll give a tick for the Maker/Model but a little extra for the special edition ID.

Looks like a Nissan Cherry, I had a Nissan Cherry Europe on my patch for quite q while, it was a cross between a Cherry and an Alfa Sud, cherry body and Alfa engine.

Could be a Bluebird though not too clear in the image

Not Japanese Gibbo, very much closer home for yourself.

Talbot Alpine ?

Talbot Alpine Rapier?

Talbot Alpine Rapier?

But for the extra it is a special edition.....name obliterated in my pic, but there are autocar articles/ other such things on it which are findable. The name I would say was traditional for the company in one of its incarnations. Nearly there with the rapier James.

Well, there was also the Pullman and the Executive?

[bobins]

If it wasn't the Rapier, then it was probably the Minx.

You can see whay they called it the Alpine as it shares so many similarities with its namesake the Sunbeam Alpine - they both had 4 wheels, they both had some doors....ummmmm there must be more similarities than that ?

As was this our old friend the Datsun Cherry and its rear tail lights. 3rd Generation N10. Saw plenty investigating Gibbo's Snowy.
