Was this the car that inspired the Nissan Figaro styling perhaps.....?



Amazingly, this car appears to be the first ever production car fitted with fuel injection...!!

TBF that's why I thought it was probably a Seat, because AFAIK Fiat never made a 124 Special or Special T estate either (I've still got the brochures somewhere)!

Yep, I'm still going for the 356 as well.

Interesting there's a '56 Chevy in the background behind what appears to be a silver PA Cresta.

It was the headrests that convinced me.

Could the roof in the period car be folded forward to accommodate the luggage rack behind it ?

[GTRene]

some English man euh car, needed road help.



I never seen such Fiat, you have some US cars with wood and some English cars, but a Italian like this a surprise for me.





and this 'ugly' Duck, also some Italian I've never seen

The annual Dutch Roadworthiness Test was getting harder to pass, although a majority verdict was acceptable.

A few older scans. My uncle and his friend in 1958 setting up lunch in France or Belgium, some other odds-and-ends, and my grandfathers receipt for a driving licence in 1920.
