Post by: Carnut on May 30, 2012, 08:02:17 AM: Thanks PJ.
It's rather a recent repost so I've merged it.
Had trouble finding it as it was titled with the builder's name, which isn't mentioned anywhere in the articles.
Sorry thorax, but you've had 1 point for it already so that's your lot!

Title: Solved - NEH 2402: Rear-engined home-built special powered by 2 transverse Austin 7 engines
Post by: Carnut on January 24, 2013, 10:08:34 AM: What's this, and what are the unusual things about it - for 1 point?:

ANYONE FOUND GIVING ANSWERS GLEANED BY USING GOOGLE SEARCH BY IMAGE MAY BE BANNED FOR AN INDETERMINATE PERIOD!
Title: Re: NEH 2402
Post by: MrScharroo on January 29, 2013, 07:27:24 AM: I have a copy of an article in my archives.
The car was powered by two Austin 7hp engines placed transversely in the frame behind the back rest. The car could reach a speed of 105 mph. I have no names, neither of the builder nor of the car itself. It is home made and many Ford parts were used.

That's right; your points tally increases by 50%!
The unusual things are 1) there are 2 engines and 2) they are transversely-mounted (not unusual today but it certainly was back then!)

Yes, thanks!
Unless you know the name (Anderson Special) it's impossible to trace this one just with the twin-Austin engines info!
