Thanks for looking and good luck with your guesses.

Bangert?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #2 on:** October 27, 2008, 03:17:30 AM »

Looks a bit like an Alice-Cooper.

neilshouse · « **Reply #3 on:** October 27, 2008, 04:00:39 AM »

It's not a Bangert or anything to do with Alice Cooper.

east european , 50s skoda based special competing in a hillclimb .

Not a Skoda, and as far as I know it's got nothing to do with Eastern Europe.

I don't know a great deal about this car, only it's name and location at the time the picture was taken.

Belgian license plate?

neilshouse · « **Reply #8 on:** November 12, 2008, 01:38:02 PM »

I don't think it is a Belgian plate.

Where the photo was taken is a very long way from Belgium.

The Americas?

neilshouse · « **Reply #11 on:** November 13, 2008, 03:28:06 AM »

Not the Americas.

Yes!

Mistral?

neilshouse · « **Reply #16 on:** November 14, 2008, 06:16:22 PM »

Not a Mistral.

Its engine is from a very well known manufacturer, and the car, I assume is a one off special named after it's builder.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #17 on:** November 15, 2008, 03:07:17 AM »

Them Zealanders like their big Chevy motors. Is it a Chevrolet V8 - perhaps from a Corvette?

neilshouse · « **Reply #18 on:** November 15, 2008, 05:30:04 AM »

Not a Chevrolet engine, and not a V8.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #19 on:** November 15, 2008, 06:17:58 AM »

Ferrari engine?

neilshouse · « **Reply #20 on:** November 15, 2008, 06:26:51 AM »

Not Ferrari engined, you are in the right continent though.

Allan L · « **Reply #21 on:** November 15, 2008, 07:35:17 AM »

Quite a tall engine, from the box on the bonnet, but as that box has no air intake it's probably not the Bristol engine that I normally associate with being tall.
Possibly an XK Jaguar engine - the wheels look a bit like Jag wheels.

neilshouse · « **Reply #22 on:** November 15, 2008, 10:24:27 AM »

It has got a Jaguar engine!

Allan L · « **Reply #23 on:** November 16, 2008, 04:03:14 AM »

"Phone-a-friend" time (well, e-mail)!

Bagnall-Jaguar

"always a scrffy beast" according to the friend that I asked!

He also said it was at Houghton Bay hillclimb, Wellington, 4 April 1964

neilshouse · « **Reply #24 on:** November 16, 2008, 05:05:59 AM »

That's the one, well done, correct on all counts.
