Needs a bit of a polish

i think that's a diamond silver green metallic Storm, a colour which was only available on the Storm, and for 1 year only in 1980.

I think it's a standard mum spec Avenger with a vinyl roof - the GLS had a bigger rear badge and "GLS" on the C pillar plus the aforementioned Rostyles.

Looks lovely there.
Though I fear the one I spotted would crumble if anyone tried to move it.

Sunbeam Stilleto? Hilman Imp California? Singer Chamois?

A few other Imps were parked nearby in different states of decay. None, I suspect, will see the road again.

Did they all have vinyl roofs ?

[Tim O]

Good question! Bit of Googling suggests not, only the Stiletto had a vinyl roof.

Certainly is, a very posh and desirable car in 1980.

The wife of our milkman had one in the same colour brand new, at a time when a milk round on an ever expanding new housing estate could bring untold riches. The milkman on an even bigger estate in an even bigger neighbouring city (Newcastle) had a Lotus Esprit Turbo and a matching Elite for the wife.

A truly great realm, where milkmen are held in high honour.

There no interior,nothing at all so I suspect would take some sourcing and putting together if bits could even be found

can anyone guess what this is

[MarkwG]

Ginetta G15 I think

[DavidY]

G15, a sorted one is a very tidy car

[FastAndy]

Mine obviously isn’t a sorted one owned by my dad from virtually new. Well done all

Exactement. My point!

Think it’s going to take more than the Henry for me to get it through an MOT
