Now ex-rookie

Looks like it was built on a shortened VW pan. Is it a one-off?

qwaszx · May 01, 2012, 10:13:11 AM

renault 4cv based?

Quiller · May 01, 2012, 01:42:22 PM

Not 4CV based: VW basis is correct, although I don't think it used a VW floorpan. Yes, it's a one-off.

to the pros...

Anything to do with Tom Killeen?

pnegyesi · May 29, 2012, 09:01:31 AM

Is this from South Africa?

Quiller · May 29, 2012, 11:24:26 AM

No Killeen connection, and not from South Africa...

Allemano · May 30, 2012, 10:47:23 AM

European?

Carnut · May 31, 2012, 05:27:05 AM

It looks a bit like Ian Stronach's Vixen but it can't be that since we've had it already...

Quiller · May 31, 2012, 12:15:42 PM

Not European
And not the Vixen...

That's the spot! :)

It looks as if the body may originally be a KM (Keith Morrison, Sydney).......

Quiller · June 10, 2012, 06:00:56 AM

I'm not aware of any Keith Morrison connection...

pnegyesi · September 14, 2012, 02:14:28 AM

Isn't this the Volcoupe by Ron Learnan?

Quiller · September 14, 2012, 06:53:43 AM

Wahay! Yes indeed - well sleuthed, (though I think it's spelt Volcoup). Away from home at present, so will award point and come back with clarification soon

pnegyesi · September 14, 2012, 06:58:10 AM

"'As the composition of the racing fields began to change with the advent of a more professional era Ron decided to build a one off sports car called the Volcoupe in the late 1950s early 1960s "

Quiller · September 14, 2012, 02:15:45 PM

I have a whole article here which refers to it a the Volcoup, but the point is definitely yours!

Allemano · September 14, 2012, 02:22:42 PM

Great!

nicanary · December 25, 2014, 05:47:03 AM

What is the name of this little car, and who built it?

nicanary · January 28, 2015, 11:34:00 AM

Experts?
