Poor image I know but can you tell me the make, model and year for one point?

woodinsight · October 06, 2010, 03:25:58 PM

Help required from the experts

Carnut · October 06, 2010, 06:45:32 PM

Panther?

woodinsight · October 06, 2010, 11:56:00 PM

Not that.
Less well known.

Time for the Pros to have a go

British SS100 replica?

woodinsight · October 12, 2010, 11:12:05 AM

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

Arunas · October 12, 2010, 05:05:51 PM

Could this be Carisma?

woodinsight · October 12, 2010, 05:12:15 PM

Not Carisma unfortunately

Arunas · October 12, 2010, 05:18:30 PM

Could this be Viking then?

woodinsight · October 12, 2010, 05:23:27 PM

Not a Viking either

yves · October 12, 2010, 05:52:13 PM

Mallalieu ?

woodinsight · October 12, 2010, 06:43:49 PM

Not Mallalieu

Djetset · October 12, 2010, 06:56:40 PM

So, no Leaping Cats connection?

Arunas · October 13, 2010, 01:22:37 AM

Trac?

Carnut · October 13, 2010, 04:14:49 AM

Suffolk?

woodinsight · 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

woodinsight · 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.......

Carnut · October 28, 2010, 07:47:50 AM

Hawk?

woodinsight · October 28, 2010, 10:25:39 AM

That's the bird!
So - it's the Hawk xxxxxx by (manufacturer's name) of 19xx

Locked for you carnut until your next reply

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?

woodinsight · November 01, 2010, 03:08:21 AM

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!
