These 1950's small British sports cars are all so similar.

It is British isn't it?

mekubb · January 11, 2014, 12:16:52 PM

Partially British.....

D-type · January 11, 2014, 01:21:16 PM

Oh me gawd!

Yes sir

Is the rest of the car (chassis and body) from Australia?

mekubb · January 12, 2014, 04:09:08 AM

Only the body is non-British (AFAIK), but not from Australia

D-type · January 12, 2014, 12:56:24 PM

Is the chassis and engine from an 1172cc Ford Anglia or Prefect?

mekubb · January 12, 2014, 01:09:48 PM

No Ford mechanics

Majeko · January 29, 2014, 06:12:04 PM

American built?

mekubb · January 30, 2014, 08:09:38 AM

Not from the States

Yes ! I lock it for you until your next guess

D-type · January 30, 2014, 06:12:21 PM

Not British, not Australian, right hand drive, MG-based

Is it from Ireland?

Please unlock this as I'm just fishing.

mekubb · January 31, 2014, 04:17:21 AM

Not Irish, still locked for you. RHD doesn't explain everything ...

D-type · January 31, 2014, 04:41:37 PM

French rebodied MG TD

mekubb · January 31, 2014, 04:49:12 PM

Not a French body...

Yes, very good ! It's indeed a Dutch body, locked for you to tell me who built the body and from when it dates

D-type · February 01, 2014, 04:18:07 AM

I don't know any Dutch builders' names so I'll guess at ~~van der Merwe~~ Gatsonides in 1950.

Please unlock as all this is guesswork, and it's not fair on anybody who might know or who might be able to make a better guess.

mekubb · February 01, 2014, 04:21:35 AM

Not Gatsonides, less known... One more guess ? Enclosed the whole picture

D-type · February 01, 2014, 11:35:55 AM

That is Zandvoort
Year - Maybe 1954 ?
The car - the MG Special of Dries van der Lof ??

Please unlock as I don't have any leads to follow.
