I have no idea what may be lurking in your garage, rusty or otherwise! My dad, who claims to have had a Ford Prefect, thinks his had a floor mounted gear change and the engine did not look like the one in the picture, so once again I agree with Lorry. He thinks it may be something from Standard.  |

Okay, try this one...
To start with it's a side valve engine and I would hazard a guess at early Morris Minor with 748cc engine. But could be the larger Oxford or Isis. |

Sorry vegas, wrong country. I'm thinking of clues here just in case anyone asks for one. To my knowledge, it never stared in a detective series, but I may be wrong here  |

My dad, who claims to have had a Ford Prefect, thinks his had a floor mounted gear change and the engine did not look like the one in the picture, so once again I agree with Lorry. He thinks it may be something from Standard. Well gents, you're both wrong though I can see why you might think the top one was a Standard Vanguard or whatever. In fact it's a 1951 Hillman Minx with sidevalve engine which was later given an update with an OHV head and a capacity increase and fitted to various Rootes Group vehicles incl... you know the rest... I'm surprised nobody on here has got the second one, and so I'm not saying what it is except it's not a Triumph. In fact it's from a vehicle often featured on CA by one of our regulars, though it's appearances have been less recently... |

A humber? Or was it Hunter? Always mix them up. Humber; final answer!

Humber, yes. Sceptre in fact. Same as the Hunter though, they were both "Arrow" models, they did a mid-range Singer Vogue too, though it's hard to imagine Madonna in one. Humbers had fancier woodwork and more chrome, a bit like a Montego Vanden Plas compared to the 1.6HL. You get the picture...  Anyway the Hunter was manufactured in Iran in massive numbers, (about 2.5 million) and they only packed in making it in May 2005.  |

Ah yes the Peykan Hunter- very popular in long distance historic rallies due to the fact you don't have to spend months welding then up before prepping them. Bloody good rally car actually.

A friend in the local motor club has a replica London to Sydney Hunter, complete with single Humber seat in rear (to nod off in).
I did drive a Hunter in about 1975, and have to admit that its the worse car I've ever driven. It just surrendered at every corner.
