Sorry about the poor photo - it's a small crop from an old ariel photo which happens to include our house, so the quality's not brilliant before I started... It's dated 1963 but can't be 100% sure that's accurate. I've had a stab at most of the cars shown, but this is the one on what is now our driveway and I'm really not sure what it is. Looks rather rakeish with the paintjob smile That is (most of) a person leaning against the wall next to it, so some sense of scale.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like a Triumph Herald to me.

Ah, should have got that easily. The roof looked too low to me; but I guess that's the high angle of the pic

My guess would be a Triumph Vitesse. Essentially a Herald, of course.

A Herald and quite a lot of red lead.

If that picture is dated 1963 the Herald cannot be any more than 4 years old,that being the case it has either gone down hill very quickly indeed or the the date is much later.
The latter me thinks smile
