What is this car ? I think I've reached the stage in life where this sort of car would suit me... It looks a bit shabby in the photo and the photo must be 50 years ago so I'm thinking this sort of car will be pretty affordable by now. Shabby would suit me.

Is it a Rover ?

Tell me it's not a Ferrari.

^ Ferrari 250 GTE. £350k?

How about a Bristol?

Not many 50 year old Rover's sat on deep dished Borrani wires with triple eared spinners.

Squint a bit?

I always think of Harold Wilson when I see a P4/P5
My brother has the serious hots for them, but he likes armchairs

Squint a lot ......... still don’t see it.

I think with a roof rack it would be close enough.

You could always buy a Lancia Flavia Coupe & pay a bodywork specialist to convert the rear to vertical lamps then add a set of Boranni's via splined adapters & 'Voila !"

I'm not sure Andy. There's a bit too much Austin Maxi in there for my liking.

Andy, please stop posting pics of Flavias and Fulvias. I've warned you before...You're not doing my thought processes any good.

You can't keep fighting it Keith - you're going to have to give in eventually ...
