Here's a test for old car buffs.
My Dad owned this car when I was about 9 years old. I don't remember it at all, but came across this pic today.
Just wonders if anybody can identify it for me.

Austin 10 maybe? Looks like what my dad owned in the late 50s or early 60s.

Thanks Wayne, I've googled it and there are some close, but nothing quite the same.

Thanks dmitri think you may be on it, here's what I've found.

You'd get a 13B turbo into it, some tunnel massage would get a Supra 5 speed, then into a Ford 9" .

Nice.

Jeez Mark, you can be a ruddy vandal at times!

olde schoole is cool

these things had a hi-tech overhead valve engine, nothing a little cam work, porting, pair of S.U's couldn't fix.
