British SS100 replica?

It is British and is a replica of a Jaguar SS100 (not an exact replica but I think a well-built one)

Suffolk?
Title: Re: MJW #047
Post by: woodinsight on October 13, 2010, 07:36:40 AM
Leaping Cats, Trac or Suffolk are not the names I have.
I know little of the manufacturer of this car but know that it has an aluminium body.

JBA Falcon Sport

Post by: woodinsight on October 28, 2010, 12:11:55 AM
Not that but I can add a clue here for you -
The make contains a name of a bird similar to a Falcon.......

Post by: Carnut on October 28, 2010, 07:47:50 AM
Hawk?
Title: Re: MJW #047
Post by: woodinsight on October 28, 2010, 10:25:39 AM
That's the bird!
So - it's the Hawk xxxxxx by (manufacturer's name) of 19xx

Thanks but I have drawn a blank on this one.
I can't find any reference in books or on the 'Net to an SS100 replica/copy with the name Hawk in it..

Your puzzle car looks remarkably like the Birchfield you featured in an earlier puzzle, and that car was based on a one-off by a Nick Topping; it wouldn't be that car, would it?

Yes Carnut, that's the car - Hawk Sprint built by Nick Topping in the early 1980s and the car that spawned the Birchfield.

So another point for you - well done!
