What car is this?
Saw this car in some wasteland in the middle of an industrial estate in Smethwick
Pulled over and took a photo.
What car is it?

Re: What car is this?
Which looks like a Fiat 128  but I think in the early 70's most cars looked like that
Pierre is correct though

Don't know what car it is but it looks like it's been designed around the old Mini Metro.

My vote goes to the Hillman Hunter.

Re: What car is this?
Heh, I thought it was a Hillman Humber ... I spent a good few minutes peering closely at photos to compare details.

Re: What car is this?
Yes it is a Hilman Hunter. My great uncle used to have a horrible brown one.
If you look at the back lights on both Pierre's picture and the OP's one you will see that they are identical.

If I saw these on the road next to each other I would have no idea which is which.

Re: What car is this?
I think that's a Humber Sceptre...
All essentially the same car anyway.
