Can anyone identify these cars?

Dec 22, 2003 12 Replies

I found these two cars lying in a field among some other old cars rusting away. I have a funny feeling the black one is a 50's Anglia but I'm not quite sure. I didn't get any closer to it than from where the picture was taken. The green one I could not identify because there were no badges at all.

Don't know for certain, but i'm inclined to agree with MrCheerful. An early 60's Hillman Hunter

Late 50's or early 60's, Anglia, Prefect, or Popular. They all had the same bodyshell. Mike.

Yes I agree but I'd say it was an early 70s hunter. Andy

Hunter 1725 GL or GLs "juke box model" circa 1975 -- the colour is aquarius metalic

I agree with the second one being a ford, but i think the first one could be a Humber Septre useing the same arrow range body as the Hunter why do i think this because the over riders on the rear bumper most Hunters that i rember did not have the overiders (my fathers DL model included) and also the dash what u can make out lends itslf more to the Septre than Hunter.

If you look closely at the inside of the car, it has the later type of Hunter dashboard with circular instruments. IIRC, the Sceptre retained the original "timber beam" dashboard, similar to that of the Singer Vogue, until the end of its life. Additionally, I think a Sceptre would have a black vinyl roof.

Actually round instruments were fitted across the board on all post 74 Hunter/Arrow. Its a Hunter Gl or GLs or just might be one of the very last GT models. It isn't a Super or DL because of the trim level and type of chrome strip fitted.

The circular instrument type indicates it can't be a Singer (or Sunbeam) Vogue (or Gazzel) as these had a teak effect wood dash.

Ding! I knew those f****rs inside out.

Unfortunately, so did the rust worm :o(
