It was just a (tentative and preliminary) kind of a joke, unsuccessful I’m afraid, in order to hide the fact that I have no photo of cars. May I suggest that you submit another one?  By the way, my father had a 403 in the late fifties, and I had Dinky Toys grey 403 (stolen some years ago, but that’s another story).

stuny Posted September 3, 2023 Share #20528 Â Posted September 3, 2023 The one on the right I refer to as oat burner technology. Â the one on the left makes me think of thepeugot with the slightly downward tilted boot, and if not that, a VW sedan. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigelG Posted September 3, 2023 Share #20530  Posted September 3, 2023 I was thinking earlier - seems reminiscent of early budget ‘70s Pininfarina. Not a Fiat 130 coupe - the boot release is wrong - but maybe Italian? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted September 3, 2023 Share #20531  Posted September 3, 2023 What about an Alfa Romeo Six, the forgotten car, the six cylinder version of the Alfetta and predecessor to the V6 Alfa 75's? Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted September 3, 2023 Share #20532  Posted September 3, 2023 The car is not from any of the manufacturers listed as yet. Nigel is closest so far in that it IS a budget model and dates from the early '70s athough I'm pretty sure Pininfarina had no input to the design. Which brings up a good point! A word on 'the design' is neccessary. There were detail-differences seen on these models depending on which was the intended market. USA cars had some different trim (and so on) from 'European' cars and even the name of the car was tailored to suit these different market-places. It is, though, a well-known model and I will accept any name so long as it is correct!... Something from the side? Welcome, dear visitor!

Ah! Missed this as I was typing my reply seen above at the time it was posted... No, Wilson, neither is it an Alfa. In fact the name 'Alfa Six' didn't ring any bells with me so I've just had a quick look-see on the www and don't think I've ever seen one of those in the flesh. Rather a handsome design! Were they any good? Philip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted September 3, 2023 Share #20534  Posted September 3, 2023 Philip, Yes the Alfa Six was quite good. I hired one on a skiing holiday to Cortina in 1980 by accident. I had some upgrade points left over from business hires of Hertz cars and asked if I could use those when I got to Venice Airport. Yes of course, was the answer and we were upgraded from our booked Fiat 131 basic model to a near new Alfa Six. It was quite similar to the Alfetta 1.8 I had had three years earlier, in that second gear was unavailable until everything had warmed up and synchromesh was on the weak side on all gears  but it did have that lovely sweet 2.5L V6 engine (far sweeter than 3.5L V6 Autodelta 75 I had somewhat later, which is the coarsest six cylinder engine I have ever encountered). I suspect like my 1.8 Alfetta, the Six would have been a martyr to the Italian tin worm. Oddly the later 75's being made from galvanised steel were very rust resistant. Wilson  Welcome, dear visitor!

a.j.z Posted September 5, 2023 Share #20537 Â Posted September 5, 2023 Although you excluded Fiat: this very much looks like a 131 although the filler cap does not fit. Could it be derived from this car? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
