dsl  | My kit car bible lists roofed ones as named after the number of doors. So Two-Door here. | 2022-08-03 21:34 | ||
993cc  | '48 is too early, doesn't have the front chrome bars, simpler door handles etc of Gmund production '48-'50. So: 1950-52 Coupé pre-A |

| dsl | 1935 Austin Seven Single Seater Racecar now displayed at Gaydon "Stung by the success of the MG in motor racing, Sir Herbert Austin decided to encourage a factory racing team. In 1932 a private Seven Ulster caught his eye, driven by T Murray Jamieson who worked for Amhurst Villiers and was developing a supercharged car of his own design. Jamieson was recruited with the brief to design the ultimate Austin Seven. His first design was a speed record car resembling a miniature of Malcolm Campbell's Bluebird. He added a high pressure Rootes supercharger to the 747cc engine, boosting compression to the point of it requiring 32 studs to anchor the cylinder head. The car ran at the Montlehery and Southport speed trials but did not meet expectation and a decision was made to turn it into a track racer. The engine and transmission were retained and clothed in a frame and body similar to American Sprint race cars. The lightweight car weighed only 431kg (8.5 cwt). To lower the driving position the transmission was offset. On its debut at the 1934 Brooklands Whitsun meeting and driven by factory driver Driscoll the car took the lap record in the Mountain handicap. Two new cars were built to the same design for 1935. One was destroyed in 1937 at Brooklands in a crash that effectively ended the racing career of ladies champion Kay Petre. Both cars had proved extremely successful on the track at Brooklands and Donington and in hillclimbs such as Shelsey Walsh. " Three of these works racers exist - Gaydon's 1935 side-valve (this blue one) and 2 green 1936 twin-cams - one also at Gaydon (livery with #10) and the other owned by Chateau Impney. |

cl82  | I really would like to avoid another "facedesk" but I still find it hard why this vehicle should belong to the "20 cars that changed the world" although I do know that Tiff Needell was responsible for that choice. | 2018-10-27 20:30 | ||

Manufacturer: Fahrzeug und Maschinenbau Regensburg Origin: Regensburg, Germany This very special car is the rarest of all Messerschmitts. It is the only genuine example of a factory Sport model known to exist. Finished in green, white, and yellow, it led a well-known life in England as 837 CLJ. It was one of perhaps just three that went to England, and if any were sold in their home country, the experts are not aware of them. ..... The car had been exceptionally well cared-for by its previous owner, with special attention to rust prevention, as there was no rust in evidence at all. Even the mirrors, when dismantled, had a tiny dab of grease on each pivot ball. It was restored to its original all-white colour scheme. The Sport was sold at Christie’s in 1997 and was subsequently re-acquired for the present collection." from here. |

Dlindsey19  | That is a 1978 Corvette Indy 500 pace car, one of 6,502 made, featured either a 185 hp L-48 350 small block chevrolet or a 220 hp L-82 350 small block chevrolet. | 2018-07-06 20:04 | ||
Sunbar  | For me it is a split-screen so 1954; however searching for GPO telephone O-type vans suggest the true GPO vans had special hinged glasses on the drivers side. So possibly a 'recreated' GPO van or over-restored example? | 2018-06-21 11:58 | ||
| dsl | Looks like a non-dateable Q plate, or maybe C or G (both far too new for the van). Small sidelights so before 1962 - if splitscreen = 1954+ or single screen 1957+. | 2018-06-19 13:10 | ||

| dsl | IZ was a County Mayo series stating in 1904, no early dates known, but 105 could easily have been 1910. Cork assembly started 1921, Trafford Park in 1911, so a US build. In 1917 Henry Ford established a factory on the site of the old Cork Park Racecourse near the Marina, opened 1919 as Ford's first dedicated vehicle plant outside America, building just Fordson tractors until 1921, when car assembly started. Cork made the world's last official T in 1927. Ironically in view of current EU/Brexit shenanigans, the removal of tariff barriers after Ireland entered the EEC caused major difficulties for the company as it struggled to compete with cheaper cars imported from Europe. Financial losses mounted and the Cork plant was finally closed on Friday 13 July 1984. -- Last edit: 2017-12-09 17:43:09 |

| dsl | About 15 made by James A Cuthbertson Ltd of Biggar, Lanarkshire from about 1958. This capture taken from a 1963 archive clip - no registration visible. A restored 1958 example - 178 UYU and possibly the only one still in UK - sold for £33,000 at Bonhams Goodwood Festival auction in Sept 2017. | 2017-10-13 00:11 | ||
nikbj68  | The clip above was taken from an earlier Top Gear feature (circa 1987/88) About the 'new' Autokraft MkIV, featuring GPG4C & 39 PH in a segment on Cobras from the 60's. HEM6 was purchased as a kit of parts from AC and built by High Efficiency Motors, not built for AC by them. |

| ingo | The Trabant is listed correctly, the Ladas not, as the origin year of the model is the point, not of the specific car. |
2017-09-18 23:24 | ||
| Gamer | I would choose the German flag for a 1991 Trabant, even if it is a pure GDR-car. 1995 Ladas aren't listed as "origin USSR" either  Also, I wonder why no one posted this before?

Bun  | I purchased this car in 2008 in need of total restoration as the body was severely corroded. Over the next 6 1/2 years I rebuilt it from the chassis up and scrapped the original body. It is now registered with the (UK) DVLA as, "2CV6 Dolly Convertible, colour red". I fitted it with an open two-seater body made by "Lomax". As of today (12th June 2015), it has finally returned to the road, insured, taxed and MoT and I will shortly offer the car for sale.

| dsl | According to Autocar 26/06/13, 4 cars were entered on the 1913 Alpine "Alpenfahrt" Trial - 3 works cars and one private entry by James Radley, who redesigned some of the factory body; none of the works cars survive, and this is the Radley car. The grille mascot is a bronze naked woman created by a Viennese sculptor. Other sources describe a later racing career at Brooklands and then in late 30s being converted into a breakdown truck and then disappearing - presumed lost. Rediscovered 1950 and later massive rebuild/resto to 1913 spec, and well known privately owned car regularly appearing on prestige retro events and runs, including a centenary re-run of the 1913 event - Link to "www.first4auto.com" Also appeared at 2013 Shanghai Auto Show alongside new RR Ghost Alpine Trial Centenary Collection edition in similar blue livery - 35 to be made and the first ever RR with factory painted radiator grille - Link to "motoren.wordpress.com" , http://altamartrip.com/auto-shanghai-2013/ |
