Eastern European - Romanian?

Lada Granta 1600T WTCC maybe.......

Russian then (and you are not supposed to reverse google search Jim )

Right - try this one then, all you reverse image experts.

^ There's actually a car in that picture? I have to look harder!

Not sure how difficult this will be, but here goes. What is it?

Plymouth Barracuda.

Year: 1970
Model: Plymouth 'Cuda (high performance variant of the Barracuda)
Engine: 340 cubic inch / 5.6 liter V8, 4 barrel carburetor
Power: 275 horsepower / 205 kW
Transmission: 3 speed Torqueflite automatic

My first set of wheels bought second hand in 1972 for the equivalent of about 60,000 baht. This is a scan of an old photo I took back then. The color looks not so good in this photo and looked better in real life. A classic American muscle car from one of the peak years before smog controls and gas shortages in the mid-70s caused their decline. This example did not survive as the next owner lost control of it and wrapped it around a power pole.

this should sort out the men from the boys.

what make and model are these headlights from.

Volkswagen Tiguan.

correct.

reverse look up, or a car spotters own cerebral databanks ?? be honest.

It looked euro and Hella make most of the euro lights so a quick search on their picture database told me which vehicle it is for.

I suspect it has nothing to do with Inspector Morse.

I've forgotten the name of that car now, it may be Japanese . The owner was an enthusiast. That's not him in front of the car, that was some hobo after money, that I fled from

front end of a jag and the back end of something else

I saw those Jap Jags on show in Central Pattaya a couple of years ago, that model was over 4 mill baht I think !!!

BTW, HTF do you 'reverse look up'?

Apparently the shell is of a Jaguar MK 11 and the rest of it is a Nissan Micra

Anyway, my guess was an early 1930s Packard of some sort. The date's right, but the maker's not...

Looks like Packard used in film Bonnie and Clyde ,not sure
