Members,

As far as I remember Holden statesmen cars, were a gift from Australian government for summit in 1976.  Few cars imported to Sri Lanka before the conference in 1976 by M/s, Colets in Borella before you come to Raymends, funeral undertakes on the same road. At present a big Textile shop is their Colets closed their work shop. That property was a very large area covering their show room and work shop. The statesmen car model which came to SL was a big one, all were red color. All summit Holden cars  were sold to general public after the sumit, few cars were converted to Diesel. All had German technology Electrical system, was Similar to VW 12 volts at that time manufactured cars. With 4 speed auto gear box vehicles. The above car was a beautiful and a stately car.

Some kind of sporty roadster like a 1953 Morgan +4 ?

looks too narrow to be a morgan +4?  I can't place this - probably a Brit from the era where all cars looked  somewhat alike and all had names like 8hp 10 hp etc.  Austin/Morris/Sunbeam/Singer etc.

Triumph Super 7 or Super 9? The positioning of the headlamps looks right but the vertical grille is what's confusing me....

Bingo ! Yes ! Came before the +4  

[matroska]

That was a good one @iRage  I think @Kavvz was on the scent from the start and deserves the win - take your turn .

Hey guys my apologies for not checking in! 

@matroska I tried to find a picture of something that came before the +4 but couldn't find one to compare and gave up! Too bad...I should have followed that hunch and kept going like with the Holden HD: but you did!  

So you rightly deserve the win for following up on that train of thought. (Very nice of you to offer, but the win is yours and rightly so!)

Waiting for your clue @matroska!

Beautiful car @iRage !! Do you know any of its history>backstory?  ( Also: I didn't think Morgans were too popular in SL? Do we have many of them here?)

I thought this was the car (although it has changed colours now)

Fun fact: Did you know that this colour is known as Ceylon Gold by BMW. It's one of the original colours in the palette and is a highly sought-after colour

 

 

Interesting on the colour scheme. I think we should be proud to have such colour in someones colour pallette which is that sort after.

Worng make and model sir, have a closer look at the rear windscreen.

[iRage]

This is a toughy...at first I thought it was an Opel Rekord (P2) but then realized the B-pillar is too think...then went to t Merc...but then everything looks too barron compared to the model I was thinking of...

Hmmmm

@Gummybr it's not a Borgward is it?

[Gummybr]

Ok some help, all three of you got the country of make correct, so one of you is right in terms of the make. Anymore help and you know the model.
