It looks like a 'Bristol' ........someone should tell him about Commers! far cheaper and more appealing! [8D]

They are built on a Superminx chassis with steel framed, ally clad coachwork. If someone wins the lottery and wants to share it with me I'd be a happy man:)

I agree with Colin about the Bristol look, but it also has hints of the Alpine at the rear end. Unfortunately, the steering wheel is on the wrong side!

Saw the title and naturally expected to see an Imp, four headlamp saloon of course!

THe most stylish Rootes car ever - possibly because it isn't one. :D

1965 Commer (1592ccm) series IIa Bluebird Highwayman

Well it was developed in conjunction with the Rootes factory, built on a Superminx chassis with a Rootes engine sold in Rootes dealerships and it was called a Sunbeam so it's pretty close:I

be interesting to see if it suddenly disappears with a few hours to go
it was on there website for £25000[:0][:0][:0]
I met the previous owners and they had bought it for about £12000 from this dealer I think
the car really needs a respray as it had lots of swirly polishing scratches
it was originally bought into the uk by a chap from uttoxeter
 
I've never seen one of those before, and it's gorgeous. Reminds me rather of the TR3 Italia.
