That's the one Mick well done, odd little thing but with the two-tone and the fins interesting enough.

Had you heard of it before? I just came across it in an Aussi blog and it caught my eye.

I have never seen one in the flesh although the name rang a bell from somewhere in the dim and distant past. I have a feeling it may have been in a dinky or corgi catalogue in my diecast collecting days. It definitely has some Wolsely 1500 and Austin Ambassador traits though!! I just love the tail fins which I'm guessing were part of the keeping up with Ford trend at the time with the 105E Anglia and the bigger Zephyr 4. Didn't exactly match the Minor's sales though!!

I have seen one in Oz but thought it was more of an accident than a design.

You can have a go at the white one in the background Mick, not that I could be definitive on what it is. Spot on or Spot-on ish with your answer in the spoiler not a lot of difference but it could be the slightly later incarnation. The reg number was on the original photo before I covered it with snowballs, and I havent been able to find it again!

I would say that the one in the background (they're all white!!!

A Citroen BX for sure, not a GTi, no rear wing, longish righthand badge so maybe a 19TRD?

Here it is in all its glory, and one of the last It is the same breed but the Wolseley 16/60 according to the info I have
It is a regular appearer at the Enfield Pageant of Motoring. Certainly what the DVLA think it is 1622cc...reg June 1970.

from here https://myntransportblog.com/2016/10/22 ... nd-ads-ii/

Has it had a change of colour or is it just a trick of the light
