Who knows this radical racer?
Another one I remember that won't reach me!
It must have been a kind of a hell drive....
Expert´s time...
When this is over, I want to know more about this car. Look at the way the motor sits right on top of the rear wheels. Where is the transaxle?
Remarkable!

I expect D-type will tell you all about it.
It is indeed a crazyly unsafe construction with a highly mounted huge heavy engine on top of the chassis.
Must have been almost uncontrollable in my eyes...

Not this time - I haven't the faintest idea ???
I wouldn't think the motor would cause as much handling problems as that big fuel tank when it was full.
Which keeps me from thinking it is a British hillclimb car.
Triangle special?
I second that
Triangle special 21 litre RR four wheel drive ?cut down? Daimler scout car
?
LOCKED for gilescooperuk!
It is indeed a Triangle.
Can you tell me the name of the builder and the "model name".
Then I´ll give you this point
IT was built by Ted Lloyd-Jones.
Triangle Flying Saucer which was a wartime Daimler Dingo scout car chassis fitted with a 21 litre Rolls Kestrel aero engine.
Suitably bonkers engine for a car - and thanks to my dad who identified it as soon as he saw the pic!
Your point. Here´s a front view photo:
