Turbine car ?

[Paul Jaray]

Not a Turbine car.

Has it ever competed in a race ?

*bump*

[Paul Jaray]

I'm sorry...I saw your guess but I still had to check...I'm sure it was built for a ...run ; )

[Paul Jaray]

All the sources I've got (several magazine's articles) report it was built for a specific 'race'....where it was going to run alone...but against another car...that raced long before....

[oko94]

Land speed record car ?

[Paul Jaray]

Yes!

[oko94]

Is it fitted with a piston engine ?

[Paul Jaray]

Yes....but...

[oko94]

Steam engine ?

Now you have 3 minutes to finish it off! 

[oko94]

Well, I just can't find it, I need to narrow down my search criteria.

Apparently it was made in the sixties, so was it built in 1966 ?

[Paul Jaray]

I'll have to check...

[Paul Jaray]

I'll have to check...

Later than '66 but still in the 60s.

[Paul Jaray]

Anyone?

[oko94]

1968 ?
