Anyone know what this car is?]

[kVA]

Yes, I know it's a horse - not a car, but the identity of the car in the background is bugging the hell out of me.... Boot spoiler looks Granada Mk2, but the grille isn't right...




PS. Picture taken in Solihull in 1983

Datsun I think.

Cheers chaps - it appears to be a Mazda 626 Coupe - a friend emailed me this picture, which shows the slight V at the front

Solihull equestrian centre, I would imagine

Mazda 626 SDX Auto apparently if I can read the registration correctly (PPL 106X)

Wow, the designs were really radical and unique back then.

[cpas]

Nice Mk1 Fiesta in the background as well.

[Fox-]

Wow, and people complain that TODAYS cars all look the same?!

That's not a fiesta. I reckon it's a mk1 micra.

Fiesta would have been my best guess too, looks like a Ford badge? Grille proportions aren't quite right though

Hmm. I think it is a Fiesta. Headrests, aerial, headlight all look right. Window-line too.

And there is an oval ford badge in the grill which is a bit of a giveaway too

I was thinking this - All the cars look the same to me

Just like modern cars actually... We've gone a full circle!!
