The thread has expanded with lots of photos from others, Thank you all for your contributions, and a few I have borrowed, with the appropriate credit.
As it turned out my earliest photos were 1965, once I had sorted through them - need a negative viewer so can create better quality copies.
There have been recently quite a few contribution back to 1964 so the title is still relevant !!

Car is listed in a programme as being 5000 cc but thought to be a 291 c.i Chrysler / De Soto motor.
ran dual rear wheels and sometimes wire wheels, had exhausts out of the bonnet and big flared arches on the rear.
Car looking very smart and not bodged around in the last pic from Alan Boyle.
Last picture is another Mopar car, anyone know of it ??
