dkCambridgeshire Posted October 9 Share #24022 Posted October 9 (edited) Just researched a little more and some later export versions of this car were fitted with Rover and Perkins engines – but the original aluminium 2.5L (ish) OHV engine for this model was designed / manufactured in its country of origin.

Yes, the "look" = 'Wyvern / early Cresta - ish ..... but incorrect. More Ford influenced than GM, however, it's an original country of origin design. Export models fitted with Perkins and Rover diesel engines used as taxis – and engines fitted 'abroad'.

Current owner was unexpectedly offered this example by the o/seas restoration co. (a thriving business which satisfies the strong demand for this model) after the intended customer went awol. This is the third generation of the original model. Total production c. 640K Ten seat mini-bus and ambulance versions available. A special 100mph + version with a 5.53L V8 engine was also offered but only 603 examples manufactured.

dkCambridgeshire Posted October 10 Share #24033 Posted October 10 (edited) The Volga's recent history ref current owner's interview article might be of interest – should be just about readable if enlarged – image cropped from a previous pic and sharpened. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Jay Leno has a Volga Baleen in his museum and there's a You Tube video for perusal if interested; no link posted as it could be deemed a little, 'hmmmm!!!' ref JL's comments. When I accessed same the next prompted JL video was a Daimler Dart restored by JL's team and includes its post restoration first test drive – and its mystery overheating / coolant leak. Slightly suspect story because even a 710 would have opened the hood to investigate; the JL team did not raise the hood to investigate the steam source. Car was driven back to the mother ship including 'coasting downhill in neutral' – and on arrival, hood raised and coolant leak identified.

dkCambridgeshire Posted October 11 Share #24034 Posted October 11 (edited) Here's another car which should be fairly straightforward to fully ID . Marque and model please. Clue is that the 'model' is more than a single word so must be more than a two word answer – inclusive of marque. Welcome, dear visitor!
