Some hints

Its blue in colour. A marque I haven't owned before. Straight six motor with a manual transmission. And I bought it cheap.

A BMW or a Jeep?

Arthur Dent · « **Reply #2 on:** September 22, 2017, 10:30:37 am »

No - neither of those. I've owned two Jeeps but never a BMW.

Jeep, 2nd gen Supra, some sort of horrid Dodge product with the slant six??

Arthur Dent · « **Reply #4 on:** September 22, 2017, 10:33:25 am »

No Jeep, no Dodge, and no Supra.

Hudson? Rambler? Studebaker!

Arthur Dent · « **Reply #9 on:** September 22, 2017, 10:57:02 am »

Not European.

Not a Hudson, Rambler or Studebaker

Very technically neither. Closer to the American side of things. The marque is American but not the specific model.

Not an AMC

d'oh. Nevermind then.

Old Ford Econoline Shaggin' Wagon with the 4.9 straight 6

Opel then?

Gurgie · « **Reply #18 on:** September 22, 2017, 11:13:45 am »

So it's a Ford of some sort brought over from Europe... was thinking Mercury Capri, but those were in the early 70's

Railton · « **Reply #19 on:** September 22, 2017, 11:14:21 am »

OK, here's my guess. a 1965 Opel Kadet Wagon with a Straight 6.

It's got Arthur Dent written all over it!
