rare car (me thinks)
Re: rare car (me thinks)
Black bumpers with chrome top, black grille, 3 door small hatchback around 1976 model, Ford Fiesta? There just should be filler cap visible on side, but maybe it is Simca just light plays tricks with bumpers.

Yes, yellow one, but filler cap is not visible and it should be between door and rear wheel in Mk1 Fiesta.magnumpi wrote: We talking about the yellow one? If so i was going to say Mk1 Fez aswell.

Correct.jtbo wrote:, next to Volvo in question is Citroen, maybe DS?
Only 200 RHD 262C's were ever made and most came to the Uk with 2 going to New Zealand and about 5 to Oz.
There are reckoned to be less than 50 Uk ones left with only about 10-12 left on the road. I used to have one, but never really liked it. I'd always wanted one so when one came up I bought it only to find I never 'gelled' with the car. Despite it being rare and everyone saying they always wanted one too it took me ages to sell it and it went for a fraction of what the book price claims it to be worth. If you fancy one put in a very low offer as they are very hard to sell!

Re: rare car (me thinks)
I was also thinking that the little yellow car is a Mk1 Fiesta.
Also, bit of a long shot, but could one of the hidden cars behind (where you just see the roofs) be a BMW 1602 (or whatever it was) "hatch/touring" from the mid 70s?

Re: rare car (me thinks)
BMW was 1502 and same engine block was used in F1 with turbos if I'm not mistaken.
Then there was bigger engine model 2002 which had issue with body being not strong enough, boot tried to crack itself off from rest of body, don't know if that was only problem with first models, but that is what I have heard from it and I think you might be right, car had different a-pillar/roof/windscreen area than most, windscreen looked to be oversize, if I don't remember awfully wrong.
Yeah, I really liked from cars when little kid and we had here mostly cars from 70's back then

Re: rare car (me thinks)
Now everyone has mentioned it, it probably is a Ford Fiasco...
Back to the 262C: bloody 'orrible looking thing.
