Evening,
I know this is a bit off piste but I'm hoping someone of a similar generation to me will help me out with solving this car identity mystery.
In a photo taken of my father and I in 76 (Cornwall), the front end of a red car is lurking at the side of the photo.
For over 40 years now, every time I glance at the photo, I'm remined that I cannot confirm what the car is.
I’m expecting it to be Japanese, given the wing mounted side light and the hub cap. (eg Datsun 120 or Honda Civic), but like in the photo below, the side lights are usually mounted higher on the wing.
I used to hope it was a Bristol (412) given the spot lamps mounted at grill level.
Here’s hoping someone will recognise the model.
Appreciated.
Simon
