That's another Ford 10 special, but the body isn't one I easily recognise

Solved: Name That Make #9 - Watford
« Reply #5 on: May 16, 2009, 09:08:51 AM »
I just realized that I accidentally skipped over #9 when numbering my puzzles, so I'm adding this one to fix that. I suspect this one will be Expert-easy, if not actually Rookie-easy.

I think is a Watford Cheetah British kit special from the late 1950s.

Woah, what happened? I'm sure I searched for "Watford" before posting. I guess I was just looking at topic Subjects.

More likely the Racing Car Show in the Horticultural Halls, I'd say.

Your memory goes back further than mine!
I didn't recognise the location, but thought the Racing Car Show had always been at Olympia..  That's the only place I ever saw it anyway!
