    v6 Austin Princess? Come on...
    Sierra? Its FWD!
    Cavalier?

    Nobody has said there wasn't a 6 pot, just that there was no v6. The 6 pot that was fitted was an E Series, which inturn is an inline engine.

    It really is a mystery wrapped up in an enigma Howard. I've ben wracking my brains to see if I can think what it is, with little success. There can't be all that many FWD V6 5 door cars, but all the ones I've thought of and googled have less obvious suspension turrets and different plenum arrangements.
