Found a car while working in a new neighbourhood. Trying to figure it out but no idea so far. Anyone here know what this is? I know tough pic! I am going to talk to the owner Monday. Damn pic went sideways.

Lol. Worst picture ever.
I'm generally good at this game. I see chairs, insulation bales and draped plastic sheeting thru a broken window.
Good place for a car to hide.

Ya I know. The hood is flatfish with the headlight brows in it not the fenders. There is a bullet signal light on the outside of the fender. If you can turn the pic it will be more distinguishable. I hope to actually get to see it Monday. The old fellow is sick and hasn't been out of his house for years. I thought it was late 40's early 50's just by the plain style bumper. But the hood doesn't curl over it runs out flat. The car is to the left of the chairs when the pic is upright.
Is that insulation? I used to use it as a trampoline as a kid when dad was renovating. ..
Frig George I think Google street view would give a better pic..lol
Good luck on Monday. ...I know I couldn't wait till then! Keep us posted

Take some of the **** off the car so we can see it.
from your description of the headlight brows in the hood not the fenders makes me think NASH .....only company that had a M.O. of doing that. unless you get into old European.
I think it is a Triumph TR4 or TR5

Like this. Sorry that was the only pic I could get off the garage I was building over the fence! Didn't want to actually trespass!

I can see a tr5 in there now that you mention it. That's got to be it.

It was kinda like making an ID on the grassy knoll shooter.
Thanx for the help and humor! I spent three hours on Google to find it. Hopefully I'll be in the garage on Monday.
Here is a slightly better pic now that I'm back at my computer.
^^ I had to Google that Del! Ya I would take one of those too!
I don't see a car.

I think we have a bingo!
However, it's a ''garage find'', making it not worth nearly as much as a ''barn find''.

I do think you have your answer - really looks right comparing the better pic you posted
Thanx guys. After researching a little further, the model built for export with left hand drive was called a TR250. It was carburated vs fuel injection. This is more likely to be the 250. I hope to get a look at it and see if the old fellow will let it go.
