The little blue 1930s coupe looks very much like something Sir William Lyons would have created when he ran the SS (later Jaguar) company?

The little blue coupe is a BSA Scout, which I photographed in Ankara last year.
I was surprised to see it's FWD.

Maybe to you, but less so for the goat (and probably also for the driver) :D

Never mind. I hear the tables were turned many years later and the goat had a very happy retirement.

There seems to be a V8 badge on the side, so a luxury car. It looks like some of the early Italian styling influenced Mazdas and Datsuns, although slightly ungainly. Could it be a Prince?

Similar to the Sunbeam Venezia
Built by Touring of Milan.
A Jensen connection there.
But the front grille looks like it was nicked off a Hillman Super Minx. And the windscreen is different.
And the car looks a bit Volvo-ish!

I was also going to say a Prince. It definitiely has that Japanese feeling. I think the V badge on teh side is a red herring and not symbolising that it is a V8. From the grille, I'd vote Mazda.

Looks a bit like a Mazda 1500/1800.
