Name this car....

Other than being my mother's car in the 1960's what is it?The make is easy -the model not so easy... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1386650205.jpg

Could also be an Innocenti.

Nigel Smith Smythe Smith from Buckinghamshire. Now that's a good name!

Name this car . POS, or alternatively Rust on Wheels. Hydro mechanical brakes , rusted everywhere. Bought mine for £25 in the mid-sixties admittedly(it was about 8 years old), but had to weld in new floors, new front cross member , the entire front of each front fender. A rear spring broke whilst cornering hard causing the rod operated brake on that wheel to lock on resulting in a massive spin.

Thanks for that critique Petrolhead. Fortunately our A40 was a reliable car and I think we bought it new so did not have the rust issues you had. The picture was taken in the village of Stalham near Norwich, Norfolk(UK). The building across the road was the The Grebe pub. The last house on the left was my grandfather's house who was a saddler(a saddle maker, repaired combine harvest canvas etc). Across the road to the left of the pub was a bakery. In WW2 a German bomber could not find its target so decided to drop a bomb on Stalham and it landed on the bakery killing several people living above the bakery.

I'm gonna go with Austin A40. ;)
