Not importand, or BSA, just curious and as a reference this is one I 'borrowed'...http://www.classic-car-history.com/avanti-pictures/1963-studebaker-avanti-front.jpg

 
...maybe RR can find out...??

A couple of giveaways:

Shape of the rear side window; turn signal on the outside of the fender behind the headlights; pronounced nose peak.

I love this kind of mystery with few clues and little reason to care.

Not GM.

1968 AMC Ambassador. What a great car to coincidentally see sitting in a garage in New Zealand.

Getting back to A7/A10's, it just goes to show what great taste A10 (engine) owners have in cars as well as bikes (and engines). *smile* ;)

Not importand,
.....typo sorry..should've been "...not important.."....I also had another look after I posted that and saw a few differences, like what you(Richard) noted, but thought to have a look later and see if there's different versions- but if you reckon it's a AMC, then fine I'll go with that  *whistle*

Well, Dutch, maybe this is "Chat", but it's still is a bit about "Pictures & Members".

Anyway, my guessing in this trivia quiz is done. I'm now dang sure it's the '68 AMC Ambassador. No need to go into the differences between '67 and '69 here.

I had a good time solving the puzzle as an extra diversion while absorbing some nightime TV.
