That is what is underneath, yes. But this one is rather special, as you can see!

I'm pretty sure I know which car this is.

If I'm right, it was a Cover Car on the British Magazine Street Machine.
( when it was blue )

Lots of body mods, chrome, and details, and ( I think ) a engine swap.

I have that issue, but I cant get to it.

All my books & mags are boxed up because of a recent move ( and will be for a while...)


I'll step aside for another Puzzler to finish this one up...  :)

@re

It's very likely that you're right.

At the time the puzzle photo was taken, it obviously wasn't blue - which means it didn't carry the same name as it did. This creation had at least three different names - the point will go to whoever can give me the name of the customiser and at least one of the names he put on the car (preferably the one it was known by when wearing that paint scheme).

From your knowledge, I suspect that you might walk away with this one in the end :)

Was one of those names Seventh Heaven?

@re

Yes, it was - and that's what it was called when this picture was taken. But I'm missing the name of the customiser...

I'll hold this one for you for 48 hours.

Thanks man, but no need to hold it...

I've looked all over, but I cant find the name.

( I did find the issue its in on Ebay, and thought about calling or Emailing the seller
But I thought that was taking it a bit too far... ;D  ;D  ;D )

I'm pretty sure that some of the other members on this forum wouldn't hesitate if they could have a point for it ;D

I think you do deserve a point for the name, though. There's another one up for grabs for the puzzler who finds out who modified it.

I think the customiser was a gentleman called Ray Bennis. Previous names for the car had been Trafalgar and Old Glory

@re

That's the ticket! A point for you, and this one is SOLVED.
