Not a repost!
Name of this car for a point
:popcorn:
One step closer, Pal...
Anything to do with Falcon?
I believe the body uses the same moulds as the Falcon MkII but other than that there is no connection that I know of
Elva then?
Not an Elva either.... There are several marques who used this body (it's still being built in much modified form today!) and this particular make has been featured here before...
You must mean the Autotune Gemini which still uses the basic shell, but It's not one of those is it.
One of these shells was actually fitted to a Triumph Spitfire to race at Le Mans in the early 1960's. It's nothing to do with that project is it? It doesn't look much like a racing car..

Are you sure about the Spitfire? I'd never heard of that before, although there was an Austin-Healey Sprite Le Mans car with a Falcon body...
Either way, it's nothing to do with Triumph or A-H. You're right to think that it's not a race car either, this one was strictly road going (That's a big clue!)
KM 200?
(I'm not sure about the Spitfire - maybe it said Sprite and my memory is letting me down!)
Not a KM 200 (that would be a repost) but you're nearly there. Locked for you.
Is it a Nota then?
They took some of Keith Morrison's last KM200 bodies when he packed up and mated them to their own chassis.
You're getting colder... Look at the KM again and see what you can dig up. Still locked for you (for another 24 hours - you're very close)
Thanks!
Thought about the KM300 but it seems that car, whilst sharing the same basic body, had covered headlights.
In that case it must be a (the?) Concord!
P.S. I'm sure you don't mean 'Auscar' as a picture of a KM is captioned somewhere; I don't believe such a car ever existed but is simply an abbreviation of 'Australian Car' as the poster didn't know what it was!
Not the Concord, but it is the KM300!
I don't know about the covered headlights, but the 300 was the road going version of the 200, with the full width 'screen. It's possible that the photo was mis-captioned but this is a non internet (nearly) period source that seems otherwise reliable. Point added!
Thanks.
Since the car was by Keith Morrison it had to be either a KM200 (not possible as that would have been a repost), a KM300 or the Concord, but I couldn't actually find a picture of the Concord. I wonder what that looked like?

Ah yes - that would explain why, when I tried to post this advert, I was told there already was a post with the same name on AP!
