Is number 10 a Jensen? (Maybe a 541?)

Otto Puzzell · May 25, 2009, 06:49:47 AM

Hmmm....

The more I try to find another picture to backup the ID of car 10 per the place where I found it, the more I think it may have been misidentified.

Allemano · May 25, 2009, 06:57:54 AM

misidentified by us or by the man who originally post it?

Otto Puzzell · May 25, 2009, 07:05:16 AM

No worries - found a confirming pic from a a reliable source.

Please, keep at it, lads!

Unique?

Otto Puzzell · May 25, 2009, 08:16:07 AM

As in one-off? No.

A handful of these were built. It's a more aerodynamic greenhouse from a third party, attached to a production car with a (normally) none-too-slippery removable hardtop.

Austin Healey?

Otto Puzzell · May 25, 2009, 08:50:54 AM

No, not an Austin, a Healey, nor an Austin-Healey

Allemano · May 25, 2009, 04:17:20 PM

was this car built in the sixties?

Otto Puzzell · May 26, 2009, 03:55:43 AM

Yes!

Sebring Spridget by Williams & Pritchard?

Otto Puzzell · May 26, 2009, 05:29:02 AM

Not one of those, nor any MG (A-H being eliminated already).

Allemano · May 26, 2009, 06:21:33 AM

It has a roll cage so it might be a powerful car. Does the base car have a big engine? (6cyl. or more?) ,

Allemano · May 26, 2009, 07:02:36 AM

It resembles a little the light weight fixed-head hardtops for Jaguar E-Types. Is Jaguar the right trace?

Otto Puzzell · May 26, 2009, 10:37:48 AM

No, not a Jag.

Nope.

Rootes?

Otto Puzzell · May 26, 2009, 12:13:25 PM

No, not from the Rootes group.

Allemano · May 26, 2009, 12:22:26 PM

Austin-Rover, then?

Otto Puzzell · May 26, 2009, 01:31:56 PM

Nope.

Allemano · May 26, 2009, 01:41:27 PM

Okay, that rules a couple of cars out....

250gto · May 26, 2009, 02:51:28 PM

Triumph Spitfire Ashley GT?

Otto Puzzell · May 26, 2009, 03:21:52 PM

Not a Triumph

neilshouse · May 27, 2009, 05:53:55 AM

Is it a Lotus Elan with fastback hardtop from Surbiton Motors?

Djetset · May 27, 2009, 02:39:42 PM

Greenhouse 10 isn't an Elva GT Courior Coupe I suppose?!
