No idea what it is but it looked pretty mean / horrible. A nice contrast in the street though.

Previous post the black car is a 1974 or 75 Mercury Grand Marquis. Usually had hub caps and a vinyl half roof. Most had a 429 or 460 cubic inch engine.

With UK names that Zeph is a Zodiac - twin headlights and rear 1/4 windows. As a kid did a few thousand miles in such cars.

[sespie]

Yes, true - it's a Zodiac here too. I liked the period aftermarket wheels too.
Regarding the Mercury, it was lucky there were two parking spaces available.

Spotted yesterday parked in Tavistock, unusual.

That's a 1939 Bentley Embiricos. I think they are all very expensive replicas?

[VFK44]

My mistake - the original still survives!

Correct, did some research, this is a recently completed recreation by Petersen Engineering based locally here in Devon.

I hope it was his child

Bill Gates wants us to eat bugs.
Soon the VW owner will be wrangling a beetle into a small child.
