	Yeah, I'd say post more pics... Especially of the rear part of the car. The views you posted aren't really conclusive becuase the fenders are missing... It does look like a small, unibody convertible though... maybe...? lol -Cody

	I'm thinking an early triumph, maybe a TR4 or something... it definitely has a BMC style brake and clutch master cylinder setup on it... possibly an Austin Healey, but it looks too square. (the heater valve on the firewall is definitely triumph, too) [last edit 8/24/2007 3:23 AM by bandi - edited 1 times]

	i'd say it's an old Triumph or MG, just by judging the front structure and some of the interior trim that's left. The rear door shape, though, I'm feeling Triumph. Samurai

yeah, she's not an Austin... definitely TR3-TR4... TR5 was a little beefier if I remember right. The door is all wrong for an MG... also, the more I looked at the underhood, that's not an MG at all.

	and the TR3's windshield was mounted on a separate frame, bolted to the body of the car.

I'm almost positive it's a Triumph... the ass reminds me a bunch of a Sunbeam Tiger, but the nose seems wrong for a Tiger.

Bonus pic (1) is an ancient Buick.

2 and 3, um, there doesn't seem to be enough left to tell!!!

	Wow I can't believe you could get a Buick from what looks like a pile of rusting parts. I don't even see a body, aside from the remnants of the fender.

	Yep, the car in question is a TR4... too bad. I love those things. I almost bought a TR6 when the ppl who used to live across the street from me moved and left the car. Then I bought the SAAB... I still want the TR6 though! -Cody TR4 is my favorite Triumph model of all time
