nothing hidden here apart from the makers name and badges, and the model name, and the original garage sticker in the rear window (it was in Cirencester if that's any help).

I like the style of this. Not intended to be difficult but you don't see these every day in 2024

I believe that's a Mitsubishi Sigma or maybe a Galant? Can't quite remember which is which!!

That brought back memories.
Back in the day I had 2 Starions, a 2litre bought 2nd hand followed by a 2.6 l wide body bought new 'cos I liked the first 'un.
After that I had 2 lwb Shoguns which towed caravans to the Alps each year for skiing hols.
Great cars the lot of 'em.

Indeed, very good cars Vic. I drove a lot of lesser-spec'd Mits when I lived in Cyprus... Always enjoyed them and very rugged.

Apocryphal perhaps - it was said the car was intended to be called a 'Stallion' but the Japanese could not properly pronounce it so it became a 'Starion'...

Is this wheel distinctive enough to identify the make and model of vehicle?
Sainsbury's Kelso today.

The only car I can think of with 4 stud 10 spokes would be the Noble, not sure of the model though?

Spoiler: show

A little bit of dark arts tells me the M12 GTO?

I'm not sure that's strictly true!

Spoiler: show

4 stud 10 spokes, forum appropriate

Yes it's a Noble, I agree the model designation is the tricky bit!

Matt, I did say the only car I could think of .....,
