See Link to "www.aronline.co.uk" . From the pics and description, this looks closest to 1966+ Autocars Sussita 12/50 - Herald engine with later front than early Cortina-engined. Quote: "Spare a thought for the poor soul who logged the following (solitary) entry for a Sussita at carsurvey.org: Q] What things have gone wrong with the car? A] Almost everything! It was a very cheap car made of a fibreglass body attached to a very simple welded pipes chassis, with a Triumph engine........ The car was very unstable. Seriously dangerous, unreliable, and very badly built." |

Or maybe Link to "www.ebay.com" ? Information on Sussitas is very confused; on the Net I've also found this vehicle described as Carmel, Gilboa and Rom 1300 ... |

I'm easy with that (1972 Sussita Triumph 1300). There's a lot of Herald-like components such as hubcaps and possibly the door handles, plus the side sculpting lines are fairly Heraldish below the waistline. |

Will this information from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocars_Co. help? |

1970 Carmel Station Wagon 1300? http://israelmotorindustry.org/romcarmel/ |

...and Autocars Carmel will be correct just, no Autocars Sussita Carmel. |
◊ 2011-11-12 22:17 |
I read the info/links as the Carmel being the saloon, so Autocars Sussita is correct for the estate. |

There's something wrong with this prospecte... |

Compare to Link to "www.ebay.com" as chris40's comment above. If Autocars did not know the name of their own product, how the #%&!£@ are we supposed to decide? |
