What car is this?
 
My coworker is building houses on Kiawah and saw the car below. Looks British but the picture aren’t great.

I told my buddy, they collective knowledge here, will have an answer in 15 minutes or less.

I'm in the local British car club and I see a couple of these every week.

Can anyone name the make and model of the CD playing installed in the dash?

It’s not playing anything. Nothing electrical survives the curse of Joe Lucas.

The car is positive ground, so likely nothing electronic is playing anywhere.
(I know, it can be done, but it would take both hands to count the people I know who roasted brand new tape players in the 60s)

The driver passed my buddy, then stopped down the street and got out to look underneath the car. Probably looking for car parts that fell off!

He was checking the oil. If it's dripping he doesn't need to add any yet.

If it’s still running it was likely changed to negative earth. Real easy to do on those things.

Be sure to tell your coworker it took one minute...

Give us a harder one.

Dad had one of those, white. He liked that he could put out a cigarette on the ground from the driver's seat

Got to love South Carolina.
