What's the name of this racing special?
What engine did it use?
A point awaits....
Expertise sought
It looks as if it has Cooper ancestry - but it's not in The book :(
So, is it Norton engined?
The engine is not a Norton - rather more common than that

On second thoughts I'm going to lock this one for you (until your next reply) as you are pretty close to a solution with your reply.
As I said above, the engine is not a Norton.
Despite not being in
The Book it is Cooper based.
I would describe the car as being the first xxx xxx car designed for the xxx formula
Blind guess
First rear engined car for the 1172 Formula. And if that's right then the engine is a Ford 10
Please don't lock it again as I honestly haven't a clue.
Yes - that's correct!
All I need is the name of the car.
I'll keep it locked for you in the meantime.
ps - the initials of the man behind the car is F.T. - well known in 1172cc circles.
Still blundering around in the dark.
Could the "T" be Turner?
Sorry D-Type but I'll have to unlock it for others to have a guess.
Thanks for your replies - you were pretty close to solving it.
To sum up - this sports racer is fitted with a Ford 1172cc engine and was the first rear-engined car constructed for this formula.
Its name is ?
Wavendon Wombat?
F.T. being Frank Tiedeman?
That's the man!
Is the car called Mille-Cent?
That's correct and another point for you
