Healy Enigma / Austin HEALEY

Even the name is wrong.......................HORRID "thing"

It has as much style as the Mona Lisa with big tits and "goldfish" lips

One thing leads to another......

Following on from Neil's post which was following on from Armidillo's post about someone's Zephyr estate in Aus - we come to coachbuilders E.D. Abbott Ltd in Farnham.

They get a mention on the NationalTransportTrust's website. https://www.nationaltransporttrust.org. ... rnham?rs=1

One of the photos from that site is this. So name the cars in the shot

You've done well with that Fiat, Neil. When I saw the original photo I thought that car might cause some head scratching

They strangely had FIAT tagged onto their Humber Hillman Sunbeam Rover garage signage so it was a possibility and looks pretty similar to the one in the pic. Lovely looking car in my eyes.

Another random link springing from ED Abbott here...

Pretty good there Neil, No 9 is a Hillman Super Minx, No 6 though is more difficult because at the time there were lots of 'badge engineered Hillman Minx/Singer Gazelle / Humber Sceptre models, I'd guess it's a Series 3A Hillman Minx judging by the fins,

Most of them Bobins but the memory is fading.
