I don't think it is a Twink.
Could be an early 1300GT?
Good call, you could well be right Could be an early 1300GT?
Twink was my first thought but cant quite put my finger on why, maybe just the way its sitting at the back and the wheels look a bit wider than standard..

It's been pointed out to me elsewhere that what I thought was an Espada in the Ledbury Mews pic is a De Tomaso Mangusta… 
Indeed it is, even rarer and cooler P5BNij said:
Complete with a grubby looking 63-64 Thunderbird 
Railway Mews, West London, 1970...
The file name for this DB6 Volante at the Earls Court Motor Show says it's from 1966 but I think it might be '67 or 'even '68, even so it's an early appearance for the flash new reverse engraved / reflective silver on black perspex number plates...
Two from Radley Mews in 1976...
Interesting to list the cars I've owned/used that come up on this thread ... recently posted ones have been the Series lV Sunbeam Rapier, Viva HB Estate, Victor 101, Mini, Morris Minor Estate, Ford Anglia 100E, Spitfire, Escort Van, Hillman Avenger (mine was an Estate 1250), 504 (again the Estate version), 5 series BM, and my first car, a Traction Avant ... All on this page !

Is that the same white Viva estate in both those pics?
Maybe the Viva is the photographer's car and he stopped to take a picture of the Citroen? Seems incredible but it's roughly in the centre of both pictures and it's difficult to tell what else the intended subject could be.Wooda80 said:

I am pretty sure this is from the 1966 Earls Court Show (where the DB6 Volante was launched after the short 'short-chassis' run to use up the remaining DB5 chassis). Easily mistaken for a Rolls-Royce what with a flying lady dancing around on the bonnet with her high heels.

Thanks - I wonder if she was a delete option for shorter drivers who could only just see over the steering wheel...
