There's at least one major item from Ford in this (but not the engine)

Well as it is running Ford wheels - I would guess the ford components are the axles?

Title: Re: Q802
Post by: Quiller on May 20, 2012, 06:40:31 PM

Rear axle for sure, yes

Yes it is! Locked for you now to come up with the model name...

Shouldn't be too hard to find the model designation - still locked for Bizzarrini Rossa but not for much longer!

Is it a number? I'll guess Number 1.

Title: Re: Q802
Post by: Allemano on May 07, 2013, 04:27:45 PM

refers to the red car:

QuoteFuri MkV. Powered by 2.0l Vauxhall Victor engine mated to a 4spd Ford gearbox running live axle from Mk2 Cortina.
This was my car I used as a daily driver. I also raced it at Ruapuna, Levels and Teretonga when I was 20. Unfortunately sold because of a girl. What a waste

refers to the yellow racer:

QuoteFuri MkVI. This car became mum's race car. Powered by a 2.8l Ford V6, Toyota supra 5spd and Sierra rear end. At times this car was supercharged. Later sold to Jim Boult who painted it gold and now runs a 3.5 Rover v8. Nicknamed crunchie

According to that there were apparently more than only one...

Title: Re: Q802
Post by: Paul Jaray on May 07, 2013, 04:32:12 PM

Well, I saw their Furi mk14...I thought #1 was a logical guess!

Allemano is right - it's a Furi MkV
One point to him and one to Bizzarrini Rossa for IDing Furi
