Same here, must be a mid to late 80’s car, the gear knob and the passenger side logo don’t ring a bell - yet. Possible clues: LHD, the position of the ignition, the light switch. We will get it eventually.

80's probs right, nice to see he used period bath/shower mixer

Im not convinced the switch gear is Ford though. So based on the driver wearing a shellsuit and that the keys are in the ignition so we can rule out Liverpool I reckon it might be Eastern Bloc.

Brings back some memories seeing Lola… I grew up in Huntingdonshire and my mates dad used to work at Lola before they closed, building various race car chassis frames etc… I still have a sheet piece of Lola carbon fibre he gave me 25years ago…

oooh I might be wrong, did Surtees win 350cc championships as well as the 4 x 500?

I was trying to eliminate - definitely not US, probably not French/Italian as they use stalks for light switches. So do most Japanese cars of that era. It’s not a Lada. The gear lever looks very basic/low quality.

Size of the transmission tunnel and only one lever makes me think RWD.

Aha! you got the twist in my question. People would think Surtees 1, Hill 2, Stewart 3. But Surtees won 3 x 350cc and 4 500cc solo motorcycle championships too making him 8 times World Champion.

I love this pic of John Surtees signing for MV Agusta in 1956.

Saw this beauty at the MITCAR show at Gaydon recently, such a simple and very elegant design from Pinifarina from every angle, without the excessive detailing of other cars from the period....

Cracking pair on youtube....

If LHD isn't an issue, I might be selling one for a friend shortly. I believe he has one which currently resides in Southern Italy.
