Aim changes with turn of the wheel, I think they were tied in with the hydraulics to keep the aim level as well

Bugger! I knew this sans Googling! I built a kit car in my dim and distant past, and also supplied some drawings (a few were Gilberns) for Peter Filby's Kit Cars and Specials magazine. Anyone remember him/that?

For question 1 I was initially thinking Austin Mini, but I think the B pillar is wrong??

Looks the right colour for a Vauxhall Viva my Grandad used to have when I was a kid, but again am not sure.
