Long shot - help identify this possibly rare/classic car?

[Gretchen]

Saw this today parked off Chalk Farm Road / Camden High Street. Was in traffic and just passed it before I could get this photo. Best I could do I'm afraid, but looked interesting...

It's a Volvo Barrier...

Tatra?

[mybrainhurts]

Never touched her...

[carinaman]

P444? Did they do the P444 without split rear screens?

Back window's too big...

I thought Volvo PV544 or 444 at first but their rear windows seem too elongated to fit with your picture, got me stumped anyway.

[CinqAbarth]

It's not a Tatra, but I'd have gone with Volvo PV544, only the car in the pic. appears to be 4 door, whilst the PV544 was only 2 doors.

I'm stumped now.

[cahami]

Im with you on that mybrainhurts but the rest of it is too close for it not to be, surely?
maybee a rear window conversion ? or a very rare one

The Tatra T2-603 is close - except no split rear screen, unless this has had a conversion? I've looked at the owners club website but to no avail.

I'm sure from the rear the car is very similar. It may have had a boot badge too, I thought it kind of cockroachesque - Morgan Aeromax style.

Four door and long - with possibly four windows each side.


Wish we'd driven back round now!!

[guldolf]

Ford Vedette?

[garethj]

Definitely not a Tatra, I've owned a few and none are anything like that.

The rear window is very like a Volvo PV544 but you're right they were only 2 door cars

[mybrainhurts]

Standard Vanguard...


Taaaa and, indeed, Daaaaaa....

Doesn't look like it - the boot shut line is wrong, as the the rear window at the rear.
