For an easy Rookie point, please tell me the make and model of this car.

An easy Expert point...

Paul Bailey creation?

Hope the front suspension is caused by the angle on the front suspension.

British?

Djetset · May 21, 2013, 01:10:31 PM

It is British, but not a Paul Bailey creation.

gilescooperuk · May 21, 2013, 01:13:52 PM

looks in someway similar to a Ginetta?

Djetset · May 21, 2013, 01:14:38 PM

No Ginetta connection.

Can't believe this has made it up as high as the Pros level, but it has, though don't thing it will hang around for very long now.

Minari Road Sport?

Djetset · June 02, 2013, 01:22:50 PM

Not a Minari product.

Autotune Aquilla

Well done PJ; another point to you. As I said, I really didn't think this one would have made it as far as the Pros. The Aquila was a British kit car, based on a Ford Mondeo. The project is currently for sale, including all moulds, etc. if anyone fancies becoming a car maker!

Aquilla or Aquila, Djetset, it's a mistake or not?

Djetset · June 03, 2013, 01:27:44 PM

Aquila, with one 'l'.

Doesn't it mean 'Eagle' in Italian (or was that Latin..?)

Paul Jaray · June 03, 2013, 03:14:25 PM

Yes, it should be Aquila.
I wrote 'Aquilla' because that's how it's written in a certain book and in some sources (that can be wrong, of course)...and we had Firenza, Sorento, Rioma... after all

Djetset · June 03, 2013, 04:35:40 PM

Hmm, I think I can guess which book you mean PJ

As we know, it is sadly riddled with mistakes.

An original front view:

Thanks Dzima, this pics reminds me why I left Aquilla with 2 'l'.
In that book there is a clear view of this car with the word 'Aquilla' clearly readable on the plate, like in this pic.

The maker's site says: "Aquilla Sports"

QuoteComplete Kit car manufacturing project. Jigs, Moulds, one complete demonstrator with Rover V8 engine, one part built rolling chassis, one new chassis, etc, etc, etc. Great opportunity to start your own business.
