OK, after much Googling I think that Batch 1, #1 might be a Standard Pennant :?:

And Batch 2 #2 is a Rover P4??? Like the one behind, with a 3-piece rear window...

Stumped by the white one with the florid chrome embellishments though :roll:

Well, that just goes to show how easy it is to miss the little details.

So my P4 guess is wrong then? Hmm - back to the Googling methinks...

Picture #1 can only be the magnificence that is the Tatra aircooled V8...

Picture #3 is a Pontiac Catalina (3rd generation, 1965-70).

#2 might be a Toyota Starlet, 60 series?

#4 is clearly some sort of medieval torture device :lol:

Hmm. "Sort of".

I'm sure that is a Tatra V8 - you can see the cooling fans for each cylinder bank. A 603 perhaps?

And the Catalina stacked headlights are very distinctive...

I would also say Tatra but I do not know the model and the Toyota Starlet from late 70's but more likely early 80's. ;)
Is the Pontiac a Bonneville?

Now that looks tasty 8-)

Power of Google Lauren. :lol:

I learnt to drive in a Toyota Starlet , but that looks like it has had the wheels banded as well as a strut brace. Obviously a sleeper :D

I do believe that light set-up was used on more than one car Lauren. Keith, the Starlet "Sleeper" has a George Polley tuned engine under the bonnet. The pic you can't get is called a "Bolster" and was a factory option steering wheel lock for a S1....

...Lancia Fulvia, of course!

I knew I had seen that bonnet vent somewhere, but for some reason I kept thinking "DKW" :roll:

Yes, the Pontiac stacked headlights appeared on several models, GTO, Tempest, Bonneville, Catalina... Grand Prix had concealed lights. Anyway, I picked the wrong one - my bad :lol:

Working this in reverse so to speak. What the heck is this. Looks French to me but no Salmson name or any other clues I could find.

Yea! :D That's the one, never thought of Amilcar completely gone from my memory.

The styling works even better on the coupe. Thanks.
