DynaMike ◊ 2007-11-06 12:14	It does look like a Minx, but the colour scheme doesn't fit... Minxes had the roof and bootlid in a contrasting colour, not the whole upper half of the car. Therefore, this will be a 1957 Singer Gazelle. Cf. http://www.philseed.com/singer-gazelle.html
greybear ◊ 2007-11-09 11:54	I'd never noticed that until you mentioned it. So much to learn, so little time...
DynaMike ◊ 2007-11-09 12:42	It's just because my parents' first car happened to be a 1958 Minx
