Is it a homebuilt British trials car on an 1172cc Ford chassis?

Yes, except that is was not built on a Ford chassis.

Ford Ten engined Austin Seven?
Title: Re: Wendax 2346
Post by: Wendax on September 18, 2017, 01:32:55 PM
Not based on an Austin Seven, but Ford-Ten-engined.

Looks more like an Austin Eight chassis and front wheel, or perhaps a Hillman.
As all the trials cars I remember had transverse front springing I can't even guess a name - unless it's an early Chandler.

The only other trials car I've heard of is a Dellow.

No Austin or Hillman chassis, not a Chandler.

Is it necessarily a trials car, it looks far too smart?
Title: Re: Wendax 2346
Post by: tobytwirl on September 19, 2017, 12:37:29 PM
Any Buckler connection?
Title: Re: Wendax 2346
Post by: Wendax on September 19, 2017, 05:12:29 PM
It was used for trials, no Buckler connection.

The wide-rim wheels at the back suggest the sixties. Is this the correct era?
Title: Re: Wendax 2346
Post by: Wendax on September 21, 2017, 02:44:53 AM
Not from the 60s

A local chap, called H. Tucker-Peake, had a trials car he built himself and if I could find a photo of it I'd know if this one is it or not.
Is it?

Post by: Wendax on September 21, 2017, 04:58:19 AM
It's not that one.

A 1970s homebuilt?
