Squareback? If you're American. We called it a Variant. But, yes, there is one.

I'd be interested. What county is she in?

Mugshot

It's in Donegal.
I was doing a job at a house, saw this out the back and took the pics. More into old Fords myself and I know it's a Merc and very rotten but beyond that I don't know, except its LHD.

What is it?

1st series renault 12

trevorbrady

I was leaning towards Renault 7, look at the C pillar grille and the shape of the rear door below the rear corner of the door window, it's kinda pointy...



**EDIT** you're probably right Paul, the 12's rear door is pointy too...



and the C pillar grille is closer to the rear door than the rear window. Right, I've convinced myself, it's not a 7, it's a 12

If you look closely you can still make out the small 'ridge' that runs over the C-pillar and over the roof, typical of an R12.
