Diana Rigg's inelegance is rather superb!

GT6 Mark 2 – good choice.

I was thinking the same myself.

I wouldn't dream of it! I was referring to the rather less discrete shot of Ms Allen's nether regions mentioned in the thread in her name.

There seems to be a bit of a Triumph theme going on. Here's a successful TR7 at Road Atlanta in about 1976 or 1977. My brother was racing a Spitfire there and I was the mechanic. Happy days.

There's something weird going on in her eyes, but that might be from several resizing / sharpening. I was trying to figure out what the cartoon on the back of the door is, without being seen to zoom in. Not sure if that's a sticker or a watermark.

There's a magazine for people like us!!

"The Way We Were" published by Classic Car Weekly has a series of mundane photos of street scenes, traffic, car parks, and so on, divided up by decade, with all the interesting cars picked out.

I think the photo may have been touched up by hand using a white pencil, I've noticed this in a lot of old magazines from the '50s and '60s, with the standard of printing back then photo editors had to jazz up the image sometimes.

Is it Bugs Bunny / Will E Coyote / RoadRunner?

If TR4man were to provide the link to the original pic instead of the PH download...

The lighting on her face looks all wrong, in fact her head looks the wrong size!
The sticker, is it Mr Horsepower woodpecker?

Definitely looks like a PShop on the Diana Rigg pic - the pics look different resolution for a start - her head and the rest - and the shadows are not the same ,,,

Meanwhile, on the Diana Rigg thread, they were discussing classic cars.

Well it's definitely a Mark 2.

A sailing club, probably somewhere in the Derby/Nottingham area, picture from the early 1960’s.
Some interesting old motors – my late father’s red Aston DB2 by the building.
No sure what lurks under the tarpaulin – Triumph Razor Edge?
Austin or Rover next to it?
Note the other Aston (DB Mk3?) with the boat on the roof (!).

looking at the chrome strip on the front wing, probably a DB2/4 MK2. The bling version of the DB2 range..

For a car which, in total they built just a few hundred its amazing to see two close together. Especially when there is only one Mini, one Anglia etc etc

What is the car to the right of the Anglia? Vauxhall Cresta/Wyvern?

It is from Pinterest. However if you Google "Diana Rigg car" you will see the photo.

Hopefully this link will work
