electra225 ◊ 2017-04-14 15:28	...maybe a Nissan Skyline ?
carking ◊ 2017-04-15 11:42	No this is something American. The Nissan Skyline was not sold in Europe at that time, and if so, it would have been right hand drive... -- Last edit: 2017-04-15 11:43:15
Lateef ◊ 2017-04-16 11:56	carking wrote The Nissan Skyline was not sold in Europe at that time That's not entirely true. The Skyline 240K [C110] was actually sold (in relatively small numbers) in select European markets.

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2017-04-16 13:33	Yes, I remember going to look at one with my boss at that time. He had an XJ6 Mk2 4.2 on order, but delivery was dragging on and his 420G was getting a bit in need of work, so he was looking for a stop gap. He decided against the Nissan and bought a Citroën DS23 Pallas instead. Nice car.

carking ◊ 2017-04-18 10:40	Any other views on this car ? Will be very hard to id it, just from this angle sadly.

The Mikado https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mikado (a Comic opera) has a great overture https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_7nBHj5n20 . The tune changes completely at about 4.00.
