Default What car is this?

Hey guys,

I'm usually pretty good at identifying cars from 1/4 mile away but this one has me stumped. I passed it quickly and wasn't able to get a good look at the badges and didn't recognize the body.

It was in a convoy of British/Euro roadsters.

I even tried asking my old man, no luck.

Thanks

WAG: Looks like mid 1960s Hillman-Sunbeam Hunter.

That's what i thought too but the headlight/grill combo doesn't match.

It was also a 2 door coupe (from what i could see)

Those tapering headlight surrounds are also different from the Hillamn. They almost have a 280sl shape to them....



...but not quite. Obviously

Wow! What a rare car. Wonder how long it took that guy to restore it?

Thanks, for finding the make and model.
