McGill’s Hillman Rally Imp from Man in a Suitcase. The Rally Imp was the fastest factory-built Imp variant and now very likely extinct. It was a hot hatch before hot hatches were a thing. Not only is the model now almost totally forgotten, even McGill himself is dismissive of his car in the show.

Sunbeam had a very diverse range - cars, bicycles, motorcycles, trolleybuses, milk floats, aircraft engines. Bits of the company kept being spun off though so eventually there were many unrelated companies all using the same brand name.

Huh? The original Lagonda was launched in 1906. The Lagonda brand predates Aston Martin. 

Please Mr Stellantis, I’d like a Hillman E-Imp for Christmas.

The Chrysler 180 (bronze car at the bottom) was rebranded as a Talbot for the last couple of years of production.

Humber. Peugeot-Citroen tried to create a luxury brand in DS but nobody takes it seriously. Scrap that and go after BMW and Mercedes properly by dusting off Humber.

The Singer Chamois was indeed named after the animal - a chamois being a bit like a little gazelle. As a result it is pronounced Singer “shamwa”, not Singer “shammy”.

Since I tend to drive weird cars I would say yes, my cars do need to advertise what they are. As it is I get lots of people asking about them. If they had no badges it would be a one way trip to the asylum for me.

There was never a Sunbeam Rapier sedan. You would be thinking of the similar looking Hillman Minx/Singer Gazelle which was a four door based on the same platform.

Tiger

I’m more interested in knowing whether Wolseley will be required to recall all their cars to remove their famous illuminated badging.

Back in those days Opel and Vauxhall had separate products and both brands would often be available in the same country. 

Surely this chap is not a real person. Ginger Hebblethwaite and Algernon Lacey were characters in Biggles children’s books.

Sunbeam Tiger - the first one was a V12. The second one was a V8. Logically the third one should be a V6.

Sunbeam used to build electric commercial vehicles back in the day so they were well set up for it.

Trying the Sunbeam photo again.

And then there was Talbot-Sunbeam’s WRC car - although this one was an elaborate joke. (Argh, can’t get the photo to save, presumably because I’m greyed out.)

Also the Ferrari 312T6

And Williams FW08B

Austin Atlantic!
