    I'm sure you are right! I'm sorry, but what I should have said was the car the film was shot from - you can see the side on the left of the frame.

    Correct!

    Designed by BMC for the military. One presumes that Her Majesty's forces would only be fighting in places that had contiguous parking lots or ubiquitous paved golf paths. When the order failed to come through they were bought by resorts with great insurance (no doors!) or by hearty folk, like my friend. With a very low centre of gravity their cornering ability is nothing short of phenomenal.

    Can't see enough of the front bumper on my monitor to tell.
    Not sure if it's a xjc as the rear screen pillar looks too thin and doesn't appear to have a black vinyl roof.

    Anyway here's the next one, guess away.

    My first guess would be Jaguar XJC race car, possibly a Broadspeed.

    Stripes on door bottom look like Unipart, so British Leyland likely.

    Going with XJC too.

    Looks like it running up the hill at The Goodwood Festival of Speed.

    (loved Stead's Broadspeed XJC in the New Avengers)
