Re the Gilbern, a very rare car indeed, a few weeks ago my son called, he said have you seen the old car parked up the street ? I think its a Triumph, so I had a walk along and lo and behold it was a Gilbern, that was the first one I had seen.

You are correct Phil, Tim's mistake, he can't remember that far back The minx was the "booted" one

 

[WildV6]

Thanks guys, I have now edited the pic. I maybe an old fart, but obviously not old enough!! lol

 

[phil robbo]

was that not an imp ?

 

[WildV6]

was that not an imp ?

Hmmmm...think your right Phil...think the booted one was the Hillman Imp:

Using Google - shows the above to be the Imp.



This was the Hillman Minx:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillman_Imp



'Coupe' variants badged respectively as the Hillman Imp Californian, the Sunbeam Stiletto and (as here) the Singer Chamois coupe featured a more steeply raked rear window which could not be opened.

 

[phil robbo]

there were a few variants

The Hillman Imp

Singer Chamois

Sunbeam Imp

Sunbeam Stilletto ... twin headlights

Hillman Minx

Just seen your link

 

[Pid_16V]

was that not an imp ?

[phil robbo]

Isn't that what i wrote? :angel:

Did you ?... ofs moment involved somewhere then .... anyhoo ... they didn`t have boots .. they were rear engines.

 

[WildV6]

Ok, so does anyone know what that other red one is under the Imp?? Coz I have no bleeding idea...yeh, I know...I took the pic! lol (I didn't know what I was photographing! lol) i.e. this one:

 

[phil robbo]

Think its full title is a ford classic capri,

there was a ford classic in a similar shape but with 4 doors, and there was a 2 door version and that one in your pics with a coupe style.

Aha!..ok, just looked it up, your were almost right Phil, according to Wikipedia it's an:

Ford Consul Capri (335) (1961–64)



The Capri was a two door coupé version of the Ford Classic saloon made by Ford of Britain. The Ford Classic was a result of 4 years of development. Approval for the project was given in autumn 1956. The styling of the car was the last project undertaken by Colin Neale before he left Dagenham for Dearborn. The initial design requirement was for the Ford Classic to be a full range model to take Ford into the new decade. Ford even developed a full-size estate (station wagon) prototype.
