I do believe it's a Lancia Beta Monte Carlo...

If it is pre 1979, then it is a Lancia Montecarlo (one word). If post 1979, then a Lancia Beta Montecarlo (one word).
Technically, there has never been a 'Monte Carlo' made by Lancia. (They are an Italian brand, so the Monte and Carlo are spelled as one word)

Thanks for the correction crm. I did initially spell it all as one word but chickened out when the forum spell checker questioned it as I didn't want to appear ignorant
(That didn't work did it?)

Yes, that's it. I guess I haven't really seen it from a straight on side angle. Which is probably why I recognised it without recognising it.

[bauble]

I could not leave you with such ugly images;

Wonderful pre-lunchtime selection for me to perve at. None ugly in my book. Gorgeous.

Question (not for Bauble) but is the #6 in post 6036 a late twenties Lea-Francis?

It certainly looks like a Lea Francis Hyper with it's high sloping radiator Chris.

Indeed Bob, but what does it say when I recognise many, indeed most of the older cars, but in the "Goodness me" section I recognise but a couple. The BMW I recognise from the shape of the grille (I owned one until last year) , and the Honda because it says Honda on the side. Oh I think one might be a Vauxhall because it looks like my brother's car, the front anyway, and I believe he owns a Vauxhall. The others in the mix are all mysteries.

Quite happy for them to remain such.... Im not asking for any ID of them! Just sayin'

EB. The various saloon cars are, a couple of billboards, a few hoardings, some sandwich boards, and poster or two.
