Identify the burning car challenge

[amir_j]

Other half and her mate were driving along and saw this today so took a pic, so a challenge to see if anyone on here can identfy the model as I can't.



Advised belonged to an elderley couple who were were standing away from it and taken somewhere along "manchester- cheshire" route.

Call me a pessimist, but I don't think we'll find a judge...

Too easy.


I'm seeing a Ford Cortina estate there myself.

First thought was a Subaru Legacy estate but the bonnet is to low, Merc C Class?

[Westy Pre-Lit]

The test bed for this hopefully.

Anyone else think there is a reflection on what looks like a spare wheel holder in the rear? Possibly was a small 4x4 that's sitting on flat tyres? Maybe it's a Blazer.

Looks like a shopping trolley, wheel at each corner, front to the right. From the shape of the rear I'm guessing a new style Mini.

Is there a prize?

[GravelBen]

Could be a Saab 9-5 wagon? Hard to tell though.

Gets my vote

[TheEnd]

Pontiac Fiero?
Lambo Gallardo?

[Tunku]

Has to be a Kia or a Chevrolet(snort) if owned by an elderly couple.

Citroen Xsara?

Similar reasons, but I'd guess old Mini - look at the curve of roofline above gutter, very short length, shape of rear window /boot openings.

Pretty miserable experience for the owners, regardless.

far too long, definitely an estate, look at the rear overhang and 3rd piece of glass+pillar

Its an estate car, there are very clearly 3 side windows

I think you are correct.

That is the rear of the car, IMO.

ETA- Apologies for the double post. Poor form and all that.
