Guys, I think I posted this picture a few years ago but my memory ain't what it used to be and I can't find where I recorded any info about this car.

Can anyone identify what this car is?

(yes, I should have taken some close-ups of the sign boards... but I didn't)!

By the look of that snout, probably hanging around an anthill somewhere.....;)

Haven't seen that one before.

Eric; Without the benefit of sighting the rear of the car I'll go out on a limb and guess the blue car is a much modified MGA.

It appears to have the flow of line at the side elevation similar to an MGA as well as the form of the front guards as are the doors and the rise over the arch of the rear guards.

The front is obviously modified and I'd guess this has started out as a "special" sometime in period during the late 50's early 60's.

This reminds me of an "A" that a friend of mine had back in the early eighties that had had the front heavily modified due to necessity having been in an accident when owned by a member of the band Skyhooks.

The "red" car is a Buchanan, a late 50's early 60's special based on an Aston Martin DB3S ... http://bolwellcarclubnsw.com/page21.htm ... http://www.buchananmotorcompany.com/

Best of luck in your quest ... hope this info is of use

Cheers B)

Don't think it's a Milano ... different profile

Milano originated at Manly Vale NSW in the late 50's early 60's and built two body styles, Coupe and Roadster;
