The rear look a bit Ford Fiesta, but they aren't when I checked



The headlights look a bit like Renault 9

Rear lights look like vauxhall nova to me.....

Looks like they've got a UK one for one side and a Euro for the other to make them match (I.e. have reversing lights in both)

I want to say the rears are Citroen Gsa, but not 100% sure they dont look fat enough. And the original picture isnt great.

Those front lights look like they could be out of a 1978 Pontiac Firebird.
The rear lights are not Nova! The Nova lights have the reverse light at the bottom.
Citroen seems right! and the era too. Nova is too new.

The rear indicators and reverse are adjacent and centre, which rules out both Nova and Astra:




I reckon they're from an LDV Pilot (Sherpa):

ETA : now that I know what it is and when it was built, they clearly aren't. GSA looks right.





And agree with Scirocco for the fronts. Maybe.

What is the green car? Looks interesting, I guess it's an old kit car.

Looks like Bill Gates bought one!

The convertible is lovely, the estate/hatch is truly awful and looks as though it's just been knocked up in a shed.
