    I found it on Reddit, it's badged as a Centaur, looks like Corvette alloy wheels.

    I'm guessing late 1960s-early 1970s. To my eye it sgo4525yhknc1.jpeg has Triumph Stag and Jensen Healey vibes

    I don't recognize the car, but it has '67 Corvette wheels on it.

    Looks like a Crayford Engineering product, based on the Stag.
    They also converted the Vauxhall Cavalier (Opel Manta) and named it the Cavalier Centaur.

    The logo in the grille also looks like a centaur: half man, half horse.

    It also reminds me of a 1965 Corvair with a modified front clip and Jensen headlights.

    I always liked the style of Corvair (above) They weren't bad cars either - GM had fixed most if not all of the problems before Ralph Nader's book was published. In fairness to Nader, he was right about the first couple of years of Corvairs. BTW: Spel-Chek doesn't like the word Corvair, they want it to be corsair's or corsair.

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    If you right click on Corvair you should be able to tell your machine to "learn spelling" or "add to dictionary".

    I don't type the word Corvair often enough to bother.

    You already spent more time typing those comments, compared to a right mouse button click followed by a "save to your dictionary" click :p:D:cool:
