You know the routine by now...

Experts?

Lotus 23 prototype?

Djetset · January 26, 2010, 10:39:02 AM

No, not that.

It's not this car, but is it another Elva?

It's not an Elva.

Another shot in the dark: Is it a Bobsy? An SR-2 or 3?
The problem with race cars is that they seldom stay original.

Djetset · January 29, 2010, 01:31:34 PM

Not a Bobsy, so you can keep shooting in the dark.

Tackitt · January 30, 2010, 10:22:43 AM

I am trying to shoot with a little more light now.

Is it a Huffaker Genie?

Carnut · January 30, 2010, 12:49:08 PM

Could it be a Merlyn?

Djetset · February 01, 2010, 08:48:46 AM

Sorry, none of the above!

Djetset · February 14, 2010, 07:48:54 AM

Some good guesses so far, but I know the Pros will get this one.

Carnut · May 11, 2010, 12:15:01 PM

Dison Type 64?

Djetset · May 11, 2010, 04:04:04 PM

Very, very close, but not quite the full description I have. Locked to you for 24hours will I go away and have a think about this one!

Do you mean it's a Dison Type-something else?
It's not easy to find much out about Dison..
As far as I can ascertain this is the only car they ever made, and just one example of it!
It was called the Type 64 because that's when it was made - 1964!

Djetset · May 11, 2010, 07:03:43 PM

Yes, that 's what I mean, as it is a Dison, but I have this model under a different name. I'll keep it locked for you.

Can't really find much else out.
The car was made by Ecclestone Bros of Stoke on Trent, actually in 1963 rather than '64, so maybe it was a Type 63?!
As far as I know this is the only car they made...

Nothing to do with Bernie!!

Carnut · May 29, 2010, 12:06:04 PM

Djetset - have you noticed my latest answers?!
Any comments?!
Thanks.

Carnut · June 05, 2010, 07:30:48 PM

If it wasn't a Type 63 how about a Type 66 then?
I'm fast running out of years but must be close?!

Djetset · June 07, 2010, 07:25:01 PM

That's more like it. Well done, as it is the Dison Formula 1200 Type 66.
