Yeah, that's the one I'm struggling with.

If the number is YTX 595H then the year and engine size are correct but couldn't track down the make and model but thought I remembered a small manufacturer called Griffin so was going by the grill badge.

[AtomFun]

It's the only one I know the answer to Alec.

[Bruce Fielding]

7 He's right. It's a Gilbern Invader. Made in Wales

I'll get me anorak...

[Alec]

13½ out of 14 ain't bad then.

Final list should be:-

1. 1972 Lomax 3-Wheel Kit Car based on a Citroen 2CV - 652cc.

2. 1970 Renault 8 Gordini - 1300cc

3. 1954/6 Austin A90 Westminster - 2639cc

4. 1969 Bond GT4S - 1296cc

5. 1957/59 Vauxhall Victor Super F Series I - 1508cc

6. 1958 Triumph TR3 - 2138cc

7. 1970 Gilburn Invader - 2998cc

9 is a Rover P4 110

I was in a P4 90 on the A1 many years ago when the passenger door fell off!

You're right, I've just checked my notes and I'd mistyped it.

Beside the badge on the wing, the visual giveaway is the better hub caps.

It's full name is the Bond Equipe GT4S.

Only the GT4S has the twin headlights, the split grill and the 1296cc engine.

The basic Equipe GT4 only has single headlights and an 1147cc engine with the Equipe 2-Litre having a completely different body shape and only being made for the last 3 years of the 7 year run of the model.
