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

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

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
Power of Google Lauren.
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

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"
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

Would love to know but Mr invisible seems to drive it on to site. 2nd year as well !

Yea!
That's the one, never thought of Amilcar completely gone from my memory.
The styling works even better on the coupe. Thanks.
