Let me know what this is (who created it, etc.), and a point might become yours to keep and treasure.

Not 100% certain what the base is, but very unlikely to use Panhard bits.

Coachwork that refined must be British, no?

kwgibbs · April 05, 2019, 05:56:06 PM

Very interesting car,it looks like it has ford thunderbird bits,but most likely nothing with usa?

Djetset · April 08, 2019, 09:08:51 AM

It is from Europe as it's British, but no Ford Thunderbird bits used to the best of my (limited) knowledge.

I know the chassis, but not the mechanical base, and it's not a Peerless.

was it built by someone well-known or an obscure one?

The car/builder is a one-off, but on a better-known chassis.

kwgibbs · April 09, 2019, 01:23:37 PM

was it built between 1965-1970?

No, earlier.

1962?

1962?

I'm not sure of the precise year to be honest, but I believe it's from the 1950s, not 1960s.

kwgibbs · April 10, 2019, 08:34:22 AM

I,ll guess 1955-1959?

Djetset · April 11, 2019, 09:16:34 AM

Not certain of the exact year, but probably closer to 1955.

As my Puzzles old and new are dropping like flies today, it might be time to get another one solved, so up to the Pros...

The wheels are interesting, not at all like wheels they were usually fitted to homebuilt cars in the '50s. The image is not very clear, but they look almost like the elektron wheels from a Cooper.

The wheels do look quite Cooper-esque, but I'm not aware of any other Cooper connection, although I only know the chassis (excusing engine) and builder's name.

kwgibbs · July 22, 2019, 03:03:12 AM

maybe on a fairthorpe chassis?

tobytwirl · July 22, 2019, 06:16:46 AM

The wheels look like Turner electrons - any connection?
