I blew it up to 500% and it was either one of Austin A55 Cambridge or Austin A110 Westminster or a Volvo Amazon.

On the basis that the Volvo indicators wrap round and the front seems a little more round, I would say Volvo Amazon.

Yup - it is Wealdstone's old Lower Mead ground in Harrow. Vinnie Jones and Stuart Pearce in the same team and they weren't even the hardest players in the squad.

Thanks for the suggestions (and reasons) so far.

Bonnet looks too flat to be an Amazon to me ?
Mine was much more bulbous than that.
I think Austin Farina of some sort so maybe the Westminster

Think you’re right there. I’m coming round to thinking a Westminster as suggested above.

My first thought was Amazon, but after zooming it in a bit I recognise the car but just can't for the life of me think what it is.

The indicators/crome strip/overriders/quarter lights all scream Amazon.

Sfter seeing the blown-uppicture I have changed my mind. The 'drooping' front bumper on top of the clues already given all say 'Amazon'
