I think that is Menton, judging by the autoroute bridge in the background.

Landrover, cortina estate, what's in front of the cortina? Other than that a pretty boring photo.

Agreed.

[hidetheelephants]

It's a BL product, but probably didn't leave the BL plant in Bathgate looking like that.

It is Menton, well spotted. We stopped there for lunch a while ago.

Wassat?

Pontiac Firebird?

[hidetheelephants]

Certainly matches the bonnet vents, I was thinking Fiat 132 coupe or Lancia Gamma coupe but the vents ruled it out.

[aeropilot]

Yes, its a 1st generation Firebird.

Can't imagine the engine is set that far back on a Yank tank.

Its a 67/68 Firebird, so from the pre-emissions era of 1971 onwards, so there were plenty of high compression, high hp V8's around needing Sunoco 102 leaded fuel

What he said above lots of factory hot rodded motors around that window some as high as 12.1 CR for example with radical cams and big flowing intakes
