I did however like the shape of the van, but there again i liked the hillman husky!  Husky van, now there's a lovely shape. I like 50's british cars, they got even better in the 60s, when the UK designers started imitating 50's American styling. Can anyone guess what this is?  |

Yes, I remember it well, a spin off from the Ford Classic I think. Not very popular for some reason and only built for a short time, but I liked it.

Quite a good looking shape to that car, for me though too bright a colour

Yup, Consul Capri.
Manufactured for 3 years and then replaced by the Corsair.

I'll have a go! This is the car I almost lost my right index finger to when I shut my finger in the door mechanism when I was 5 years old.  |
