[nopanic - neil]

If you look at it, with the front grill and the two side grills on the front, it has a bit of BMW look to it.

But thats still no flipping help

RUP aka Nordic got the right answer- its a 1948 Fiat 1100S Mille Miglia. Ain't she perdy??

Another one coming up

Nice car, would be even better had they been less heavy handed with the side window treatment.

What is it?

So utterly close as to be unbelieveable!!!

Dave you are about a fag paper (or single digit) away from another correct answer!

Wolsey 16/60 I would guess then. did they make a 15/50?

Learnt to drive on a 16/60 but MG version, many moons ago, maybe Rup can recall?

The fact that you learnt to drive has come as a shock!

Was this the one with the badge that lit up on the bonnet that you and your mates trashed?

Correct! And yes they did a 15/50.

Tell us about wrecking one...

As SL seems to have gone back into hiding, the fate of the Wolsey was the same as that of an A40 and VW Beetle, the other 2 I recall.

My big brother and his mates would buy an old car and with the best intentions of putting them back onto the road, then thrash the nuts of them on a disused car park close to our house until they broke and they run out of knowledge on how to fix them, usually a week.

At least one, the A40 I think, was intended to go banger racing with, but it never left our drive until Billy Bridges picked it up a few months later.

It should be noted that one of those mates, now restores and races classic 50's and 60's cars, so i suppose the trainning did pay off for at least one of them.

[SL]

That is about it but the cars did last more than a week!

From memory, after the 16/60 there was a minivan, VW beetle, A40, 1950's Ford Consel, and another mini.

The A40 was going to be raced until someone put the engine into the radiator (don't ask how!), wrecking the rad, hoses and engine mounts, although the mounts may have gone beforehand. As for the rest, I think the VW's clutch went, mini rotted away, as did the Wolsey, and the consel's gearbox broke (old "3 on a tree" shift).

Ok here's a good one, as this post has been a bit slow recently.

Volvo showed their sports car with a new concept for "A" post design, the simple fact is it is not new.

Which car had this safety feature before (see pic below - the black and white pic)
