Topic: SOLVED: Djetset #76 - Hartwell Delta Imp

[Djetset]

A jaunty angle for a jaunty race car.  Know what it is for a point?

[Djetset]

Experts, helmets on....

[faksta]

The engine should be Volkswagen, right? It looks a lot like formula Vee or Super Vee car.

[Djetset]

No, nothing to do with a VW.

[faksta]

Do you mean it's simply Formula-3 car?

[Djetset]

To the best of my limited knowledge about this car, yes.

[faksta]

It has some Van Diemen traits, but I couldn't find any F3 cars with such a look, just FFord ones...
But I hope I've got the country right.

[Djetset]

Not a Van Diemen, and I don't think you've specified a country as yet, although I can guess the one you're think of.

[metalshapes]

It has a Burt Strut ( named after female hillclimb racer Patsy Burt ), so it is probably a hillclimb car.

[Djetset]

Well spotted on the chassis/suspension front, but as I say, this is one car that I don't know a great deal about, apart from its identity and some very limited background.

[Otto Puzzell]

I know what it is, but you won't promote it in time, I'm sure! 

[faksta]

It might well be a hillclimb car, but those have often had a lower rear wing (not always, though). As for the country, I meant the UK.

[Djetset]

You're right on the UK being the country of orgin.

[shamrock]

A delta , designed by patrick head of williams F1 fame .

[Djetset]

Sorry, that's not the name I have for it.

[Djetset]

Pros, over to you...

[Otto Puzzell]

I have the same picture, tagged Hartwell Delta Imp

[shamrock]

presumably a Delta powered by a Hartwell tuned IMP engine , and with watercres stickers ,, driven by Charles Barter the watercress grower .

[Djetset]

Sorry Shamrock, I feel mean as you've given some good information, but Otto Puzzell got the correct answer first, as it is the Hartwell Delta Imp, so he gets the point.
