We are scratching our head. A friend took a picture of this car and asked what it was... no idea...
Looks like a Vauxhall Cavalier... but the wrong tail lights...
what do you think?

Huh. Just looks like a late-'80s Ford Escort with a spoiler from this angle, to me.........JimR wrote:Sterling 827.
Seeing one in any condition is rare. One running is a unicorn.
Nice catch. You'd be more likely to see an Alfa 8C around town.

Hi Chris, I don't know if you have the right answer for the car picture you ran a few months ago but I was looking through some old books and found an unusually close match. In 2002, Rover came out with a "SD1" that matches perfectly with the body lines although the rear tailights are separated from the bumper a few inches. The crests on the wheels look the same and other than a rear spoiler it is a close match. The differences may be that the car in your picture is a newer model and has been "updated." Hope this helps.
