It looks very Costin-esque

Post by: Paul Jaray on October 19, 2008, 09:33:37 AM
Does it?
I've got little piece of info about this one, and there is nothing about Costin, but it sure looks like one of his design.

Tony Evans design?

Prototype / one-off, or an example of a series-produced car?
Title: Re: PJ-1
Post by: Paul Jaray on October 31, 2008, 09:48:40 AM
I think it's a one-off named after its builder, even if I found its name in a list of manufacturers...I'll be more precise looking in my books...

Post by: Otto Puzzell on October 31, 2008, 10:02:37 AM
Was the builder better known for other endeavors?
Title: Re: PJ-1
Post by: Paul Jaray on October 31, 2008, 11:37:17 AM
He was involved in the automotive field....with a particular brand, mostly.
Title: Re: PJ-1
Post by: Otto Puzzell on October 31, 2008, 01:18:35 PM
Is that brand still in business?
Title: Re: PJ-1
Post by: Paul Jaray on October 31, 2008, 02:17:22 PM
Yes,it is, but this man was not so linked to this brand to lead you to the solution, moreover it is a brand to which you can associate really a lot of names...
Title: Re: PJ-1
Post by: Otto Puzzell on October 31, 2008, 04:07:28 PM
OK.

Is this car based on something run-of-the-mill, or is it mostly unique? In other words is it a re-bodied "something", or a ground-up creation?
Title: Re: PJ-1
Post by: Paul Jaray on October 31, 2008, 06:22:56 PM
I have the name of the car and the model designation, the other man who did the body and little few more. I will say that is a ground-up creation, probably with some elements from the previously (un)mentioned brand. I know it's not much but it's all I've got here...

Kelsey GT 2/4, designed and built by David Kelsey.
Title: Re: PJ-1
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 08, 2009, 09:11:05 AM
That's the car....I'm sure you found it while you was looking for another one, probably a Lotus special?
That was really hard, because I only have this pic and there is a reference about this car in only one site (just a huge list of manufacturers).  :applause:

Exactly, I was looking for the answer to GTC #84 http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=6112.0 and thought it looked familiar.
