My daughter sent me a photo of a small old car she spotted in london, said she thought it was cute and asked me what it was. There I was thinking I could name any car I see, or at the very least who made it.....but no... it's got me. I can't upload a photo at the mo. so here goes.

Cream in colour It looks 60's kind of fiat 500 (the front) meets a morris woody (the back) had a uk plate but a cheeky original one from Roma underneath. a clue maybe wink

The badge is an upright rectangle with a thick chrome frame, background either black or dark green. in the middle a silver triangle split in two inside a silver circle...

google hasn't helped me...

Any one help at all?

Cheers smile

Perhaps an Autobianchi? maybe a Bianchina?

And typically photobucket images don't show on here anyway unfortunately.

I can't think of an Autobianchi that has a wooden frame, and google images don't show up any either - the badge could fit the description though.

I had assumed it was more the style than the wood its self

I think Bianchina Panoramica is a likely candidate.

got to love you guys/girls smile

Sorry, the woody might have been a red herring. its the rear shape of one, but no wood. It seems to be a fiat 500 with a estate type back.. In fact looking at it on my phone again, maybe not like a woody after all rolleyes

it is in a Autobianchi. laugh so well done to you all. With this knowledge I found this badge on a website, under fiat 500. it's the top right one

But still can't find a photo of the car though...

That's not an offspring.

That's the misbegotten son of a helium balloon and an elephant.
