Here's another batch from me for the weekend - mostly relatively easy

For one point identify the make and year of this tourer

It's not a real one so who was the producer of these 'replicas'?

Dunno - Jack Lemon Burton?

Yes, that's the car - this one dates from 1981.
Another point for you.

I got caught out there - I've never seen a Teal as good-looking as that. They're usually horrendous. Mind you, the proportions are all wrong for a Type 35, it's way too big, which made me think Type 46. You live and learn.

Yes, I agree with you regarding the dimensions.
