help identifying twin headlight thingy…

[simont]

ok, so its a Friday question. My friend sent me a picture of his dads Lambo, but in the garage there is something hidden at the back and I cannot for the life of me identify it .... i know this is an exceptionally geeky question, but i am sure there is someone out there equally as dull as me, and maybe even more so, who can identify the white twin headlight thing at the back of the garage..... thank you internet !!!

Hilman Imp? (Some rally spec one?)

Or the newish BMW in front

Looks like a Mk1 Lotus Cortina.

Are you sure they're headlights, I'm thinking they might be add on round spot lights on a possibly a Triumph TR6 looking at the shape where the grill meets the headlights

Aftermarket grills with inset driving lamps were available back in the day, I know this because my dad fitted one to his mates TR6 when I was a little boy in the mid to late 70s

I thought that at first, but the chrome bumpers don’t have the usual MK1 shape to them.

I don;t think I was right now, looking at pics of Imps, I’d mis-remembered what they looked like…

I think I do recognise it tho but can;t remember.,.,,

Brum?

Is the inner thing even a light? It looks a very odd shape but that might just be how the light is reflecting off it.

I am thinking Austin 1100…..

Yeah, the shape of the bumper over rider isn't at all right.

It has an older Pininfarina look about it.

It does look kinda Austiny.

Like an old Pinninfarina Austin for example.

Could be a 1300 rather than an 1100, certainly looks 60/70s British…..

Exactly. Some of that family / era.

I'm confused by the perspective, if that's a car behind the lambo and the headlight we can see is the passenger one then does a car fit in that gap? It also seems high, axle stands maybe?

I thought this due to the bumper, but the grill in relation to the headlight doesn't match.
