I'm far from an expert in older cars and just thought this one seemed rather cool and interesting.
It's probably an easy question but what is it?
I was slightly trespassing at the time so only a couple of quick snaps on the run.

Oh I think I've just worked it out. Model A Ford?
I was hoping it was going to be something weird and French.

Thoughts on the overhanging piece at the rear? Extra fuel tank?
I can't seem to find a photo of another vehicle with that.

Also where would the spare wheel be mounted on this car?

Cheers for the info.
Mods feel free to move this to a more applicable area if required.

It was in NZ. In an area with French heritage which could explain the text on the side.

I'm pretty certain that it's a Honda CT 110.

Dunno about the car, but the wee bike is a Honda CT110, which I don't think ever came to the UK? I gather it was popular in Australia and New Zealand...and so that's my bet for a photo location. And I'm going to guess the tracked vehicle is a John Deere M Series crawler.

Edited - grr...too slow with the NZ guess. All as been revealed.

Off topic if anyone goes for a trip to NZ, check out Highlands Motorsport Park.

I walked into the museum there and the first 5 cars I spotted were an Enzo, a MSC Benetton and 3 Merc SLR Stirling Moss specials. Then had a NZV8 driver fang us around the track in a Cayenne and after that beat my mate around the go kart track. It was a top day!

Doesn't look too dissimilar to a Willys Six

Artillery wheels make me think 1920s and American. The Willys Six is a good shout.
