Oh My!

well a six pot is all i got so far Keith, assuming that was the aim of the pipework anyway.

not going to be my finest moment this, i can feel it in my water!

[Kegsti66]

I will let it run a bit longer, but I will tell you it actually runs eight cylinders plus a supercharger.

[Kegsti66]

[Sud 145]

[alfachris]

Front reminds me of a Marcos ?

[PETROLHEAD]

me too,


crafty making the picture the size of a postage stamp too Tony!

[Kegsti66]

Do you recognise the wheels Shrew?

[PETROLHEAD]

Not yet, but i got the car i think,

Sovam 850?

[Sud 145]

Well googled Shrew. Bit of a marmite car isn't it. The windscreen is out of some Renault but rotated 180.

[PETROLHEAD]

Its a weird one alright Tony,

Not sure id like one gracing my drive!


Never did quite suss the wheels keith, cant see a decent picture of them???

[Kegsti66]

Shrew,
Is this any better?
My guess would be perhaps something for an Alpine? Bearing in mind it is Renault derived and looks three studed.

[KevJTD]

early renault 5 wheels was my 1st thought........

seems a limted edition for the austrian market....R5 jet, wheels made by dunlop

[Spacenut]

Interesting - first glance I thought it was a Lamborghini 400GT, another Marmite car.

Like the wheels! Dunlop made some nice composite wheels back in the day...

Bugatti Type 57 SC I reckon Keith?

Ted

[Kegsti66]

Spot on Ted, well done.
Stripped and painted it about four years ago.
Sounds amazing.



Kev, good find with the wheels.

[Sud 145]

Painted spokes really make the car in my opinion.

[Kegsti66]

I agree, I think it looked better without the wheel discs.
It is off to the USA soon as it has been sold to a new owner, and will probably be stripped again and repainted black Mad.

[Sud 145]

My neighbour's new toy. Model and year please Shrew.

[Veesix75]

Is that the Sweeney hiding out in the garage behind the bike....?

[KevJTD]

do i get a point for BSA

[Sud 145]

I point gained for being observent......and Kev loses a point for being the first to say BSA.

[Sud 145]

This one is an auto-think they used what they could lay their hands on in the Sweeney but it does say "Shut it" on the bonnet. The owner also a genuine blue taxi from Carry on Cabby tho'

bugger

[PETROLHEAD]

Id like to say A7, but there are some details i dont like,


I'll stick my neck out, A7, circa 64?

[Sud 145]

Not 500cc Shrew - what don't you like about it?

[PETROLHEAD]

A10?


Its not i dont like as in taste, just not quite fitting with my answer,

One of them being the size of the rear wheel?

Its very close to the mudguard for A series, as if it is a bigger diameter or the mudgaurd sits low?

[Sud 145]

Correct with A10 now you just need the model - not so easy, the year is '59.
