What is this?

Up!

gilescooperuk · August 21, 2014, 03:40:47 PM

British, we'll it looks right hand drive

als15 · August 21, 2014, 03:43:56 PM

Yes, British, but I'm afraid this doesn't narrow so much the research...

gilescooperuk · August 21, 2014, 03:45:46 PM

Hmm, well known manufacturer, or small scale?

als15 · August 21, 2014, 03:48:21 PM

Small scale and rather obscure.

Is this a Robin Hood kit?

als15 · August 23, 2014, 03:41:58 AM

No.

gilescooperuk · August 23, 2014, 03:51:39 AM

Razor?

als15 · August 23, 2014, 03:54:44 AM

Not a Razor.

Eldon roadster

als15 · August 25, 2014, 12:42:11 PM

Yes, it is! A well deserved point!

gilescooperuk · August 25, 2014, 12:44:05 PM

Ah, that is where my confusion came from the Eldon became the razor before doing the usual kit car trick of vanishing. I used to know the owner of the razor as he was an ex-tiger owner.

Which car is the most copied? Lotus 7, Cobra, or Jeep?

gilescooperuk · August 25, 2014, 06:12:09 PM

I would guess
UK/Europe - Lotus 7
USA - Cobra?

The Eldon was the original, becoming the Razor in later life.

The Eldon was made in the next village to my home in rural Oxfordshire. The company now specialised in juke boxes!

Kit car guru Peter Filby briefly owned (and attempted to sell!) the Razor.
