Adams probe 16

[Wile7]

Well that was quick......

[Wet Kipper]

at the risk of disrupting the "competition", perhaps you can assist me in identfying a car I saw yesterday

 

it looked a bit like a leaf from the front, a bit bulbous, and the side reminded me of an old style accord tourer, though I don't know if you would call it a hatch or an estate

the rear had a very flat/vertical and rectangular screen , above what looked the prow of a boat - pointy coming in from the sides

I thought it might be a mitsubishi, but Numberplate search has it coming back as an "unknown toyota" from 2003.

Toyota Will VS ?

Maybe a Mirai? As I googled the reg plate and it said that the reg nr was given in 2003, the Toyota mentioned was from 2014. 2014 the Mirai was introduced and the sales started.

[Wet Kipper]

THanks  P6bJohn, I think that's what it was

not as pointy as my brain remembered it, but I think you're right.

[P6bJOHN]

Happy to oblige on weird Japanese schizzle. I didn't read all the description on the other thread and just thought flat rear screen? Toyota Will Vi, it was only later I read the boat prow bit and thought Will VS

Oh dear, the thread has been relegated to page 2! We can't have that!

Here's something I didn't knew ever existed until I found it mentioned by John Le Carré in one of his books:

[P6bJOHN]

Daimler Conquest?

[swedishskoda]

Mighty good guess, but no... I've been aware of the existence of Daimlers for decades

[CapstanPlug]

Well, there is a connection with Daimler if my line of guesses is correct...

 

Lanchester 14 ?

[swedishskoda]

Lanchester 14 (1953) it is - and in those years more or less a rebranded Daimler as I understand it:

 

 

I had never heard of a car named Lanchester until I read Le Carrés latest book, "The Pigeon Tunnel". But frantic googling reveals that there should be five of them here in Sweden.

[P6bJOHN]

Lol, same horse, different jockey 

[CapstanPlug]

Ah, was surprised to see the Irish plates on that. I see on that website that it's been sold - so it may be back in the UK. Lovely original car, with its paperwork from new. Only made 2 grand. Maybe it needs more than the "minor adjustment of the gear linkage" they mention in the advert.

 

Ok .. came across this ... see how it goes ...

 

[P6bJOHN]

Healey Abbott?

[CapstanPlug]

Ha ha .. so, so close !!  (Again...)

 

Got to give it to you though !! 

 

The photo is actually a Tickford Healey. The "saloon".   The Abbott Healey,  the drophead.  Fronts seem to be almost Identical. 

 

[P6bJOHN]

That jockey jumps on a lot of horses

 

Try this favourite of mine.

Maserati 3500 GT Sprint?

[P6bJOHN]

Such a beautiful car, there was a gorgeous red one at Goodwood Revival in the Motor Show display last month.

+1

IMHO the Maseratis of today don't even come close.
