What two cars made up this special, who built it and when?

barrett · July 18, 2016, 07:30:42 AM

Up

Carnut · July 18, 2016, 07:33:02 AM

Was one of the cars a Sunbeam-Talbot?
Still looking to see what the other might have been..

morgan and jaguar?

richard cuyler · July 18, 2016, 11:55:06 AM

A Ford Popular underneath?

barrett · July 18, 2016, 12:05:50 PM

Nobody has got it so far!

Carnut · July 18, 2016, 02:10:29 PM

Aston Martin and ...?

Iluvatar · July 18, 2016, 03:16:35 PM

Fiat Topolino?

kwgibbs · July 18, 2016, 03:23:25 PM

singer?

barrett · July 19, 2016, 04:33:07 AM

Singer and Aston Martin is right!

Not sure how to lock it, so kwgibbs and carnut can both have one guess each before it's opened up again (I think this will be a difficult one)

kwgibbs · July 19, 2016, 10:17:01 AM

was the builder well known or obscure?

Thanks but no luck here.
As soon as I add "Singer" to the search I get lots of pictures of lads with guitars and mops on their heads (and of Frank Sinatra!) but nothing connected with this car...

I don't think he was known for any other cars

D-type · January 01, 2017, 05:08:58 PM

If the builder wasn't known for building cars, was he known for anything?

barrett · April 06, 2017, 11:16:46 AM

I don't think so! Just a one-off by a private individual

barrett · April 12, 2017, 08:31:49 AM

Up again

SACO · February 17, 2020, 09:32:13 AM

Aston Martin DB1 ?

Barrett hasn't logged on here since last September and hasn't answered a question since June 2019, so I wouldn't expect an answer any time soon.
If any of the Editors knows the answer to his puzzles they would answer any questions, but unfortunately none of us seem to know the answer to this one...

SACO · February 23, 2020, 02:33:58 AM

Sorry !
An other view of the car :

He promised to come back later this week and clean up his puzzles

Aston Martin DB1 ?

Looks more like a 2-Litre Sports/DB1 body chopped down to fit on a Singer 9 chassis

That sounds promising; I hope he does.
He was a great contributor with some super puzzles so I do hope he wants to continue here.

Hi - just using my lockdown time to pop in again to Autopuzzles after a long absence.

This one is 'back in play' then - it is indeed a Singer which has been modified with panels from an Aston DB1. I'm just looking for the builder's name but I think it will be hard to find.

Carnut · April 01, 2020, 09:22:50 AM

Nice to see you back!
Your puzzles always generate interest..
