Jaguar special / cougar ?

[Spacenut]

I'm going to say it's a Ronart?

Man, you guys are good!

Also saw this at the show:

[LooLooSud33Spider]

Piper GT. David Piper was a friend of My Dads .

[Sud 145]

Don't throw anything in the back it'll be lost forever even though you can see it.

[Spacenut]

Love the Piper GT, fantastic little cars. And as for the GTR sports-racer, wow. I bought a copy of "Le Ronde Infernale" (a Castrol film documentary about the 1969 Le Mans 24 hour race) just because there is some footage of the GTR in the pits. Unfortunately they couldn't qualify the car so it never raced at Le Sarthe...

[Alfastrut]

Try this one

[LooLooSud33Spider]

Gilbern invader.

[Alfastrut]

To easy for loo

[Sud 145]

Try these two for size.

[Veesix75]

Aston db6

[Veesix75]

Toyota Corolla

[Spacenut]

Hmm - maybe #1 is a DB6 after all...

#2 is interesting, it is clearly forced induction and has a crossflow head, but doesn't the valve cover look like a Mini???

[LooLooSud33Spider]

I’m going with DB6 as well

#2 is defo some kind of heavily modified A series. Possibly in a mini. Or Maybe a Mini based special

[Sud 145]

Aston db6

[KevJTD]

Does look like a Mini shell too at the bulkhead.
Billet head too, induction at the front, turbo at the back , someone's been spending..

You and Lauren are both correct. 175bhp and only 500kg.

[Kegsti66]

Too late to the game, but to be anal, DB6 mk2 Vantage. It has the lipped wheel arches.

You are totally correct Keith.

Is that a Mini Minus? They are so cool - full fibreglass monocoque, deseamed with a 4" body chop to lower the frontal area without having to get new glass made (like the Speedwell cars). Only the donor doors are retained.

Mini Mambas too, I love it

Have any of you guys been watching the YouTube series project binky over the last few years? Well worth it if you haven’t...

Was owned by a young guy Lauren. He said the billet head was a few bob and the front subframe is half the weight of the original. Said he could go further but small gains will now cost £'s. I took the pic because the layout was so neat and tidy, especially with the smoothed out bulkhead where larger carb/carbs would require a cut-out.

[LooLooSud33Spider]

Another puzzler from Dave.
Make and Model anyone ?.

[mj2k]

Fibreglass monocoque so it's got to be a Lotus or Rochdale by the shape... Changed my mind, Rochdale Olympic? Doesn't look like the most sensible way to roll a delicate fibreglass structure to me.

BTW I loved the Gilburn Invader higher up the page, always fancied one of those

[Kegsti66]

Blooming eck !! I am loosing my touch. I haven't got a clue.

Lauren might be along later.

[alfadave]

Yes a Rochdale Olympic.....but a Phase 1 with the aerodynamic underside.
The Phase 2 I'm working on was opened up underneath to allow engine/gearbox/prop/axle to be dropped out.

The Phase 1 is therefore stiffer, and handles better.....not bad for an early 60's design.

[KevJTD]

Roof spoiler looks like a Nissan sunny gtir..
