Another pure Pro amusement.

The car on that sketch was never built. Do you know what it was meant to be?

gilescooperuk · « **Reply #1 on:** July 13, 2009, 05:58:28 PM »

Well - totally random guess but

Triumph prototype possible around the TR5, TR6 period?

Allemano · « **Reply #2 on:** July 13, 2009, 06:01:47 PM »

The period is correct, the country as well, but it is from a different make

gilescooperuk · « **Reply #3 on:** July 13, 2009, 06:04:51 PM »

Ok then I'll try a Healey...

Allemano · « **Reply #4 on:** July 13, 2009, 06:14:21 PM »

Not Healey!

gilescooperuk · « **Reply #5 on:** July 13, 2009, 06:17:01 PM »

is this a manufacturer you would expect to be producing this type of sports cars or not?

Allemano · « **Reply #6 on:** July 13, 2009, 06:19:23 PM »

That's a good question...
You mean the other cars of this make look completely different?

gilescooperuk · « **Reply #7 on:** July 13, 2009, 06:23:26 PM »

well not quite...

For example - you would expect MG, Triumph, healey to produce 2 seater sports cars so it would be a logical design.

However you wouldn't expect vauxhall to do the same (I can't think of a single performance vauxhall of that era?)

So the question is does it come from the design studio of an established sports car manufacturer or not?

I think that makes it clear

Allemano · « **Reply #8 on:** July 13, 2009, 06:29:52 PM »

Absolutely!

Yes, the basic configuration is expectable for that make, though something is completely different...

gilescooperuk · « **Reply #9 on:** July 13, 2009, 06:34:35 PM »

Well I'm guessing the configuration difference would be it is rear engined as it looks like it has vents above the rear lights..

Another guess coming up - Hillman?

Allemano · « **Reply #10 on:** July 13, 2009, 06:40:40 PM »

Exactly – The other cars of that brand aren't rear engined!

Unfortunately there were a lot of other makes which built cars with that classic roadster/spider configuration

It's neither Hillman.

gilescooperuk · « **Reply #11 on:** July 13, 2009, 06:46:55 PM »

Well that would exclude MG and Lotus then.

Last guess for tonight then....

TVR?

Allemano · « **Reply #12 on:** July 13, 2009, 06:49:35 PM »

Nope! I'm sorry for bad dreams you may have...

Lea Francis?

Allemano · « **Reply #14 on:** July 13, 2009, 06:54:26 PM »

Neither!

guido66 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 14, 2009, 04:21:50 PM »

Morgan?

Allemano · « **Reply #16 on:** July 14, 2009, 04:22:43 PM »

Not Morgan, sorry!

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #17 on:** July 15, 2009, 03:23:46 AM »

Sunbeam?

Allemano · « **Reply #18 on:** July 15, 2009, 03:29:56 AM »

Sunbeam neither.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #19 on:** July 15, 2009, 03:45:54 AM »

Well, you didn't say "not a Vauxhall" in reply to gilescooperuk's post. So, was it to be a Vauxhall? GM had some rear-engine bits laying around in the early 60's.

Arunas · « **Reply #20 on:** July 15, 2009, 03:51:21 AM »

Reliant?

Allemano · « **Reply #21 on:** July 15, 2009, 03:53:41 AM »

Neither Vauxhall nor Reliant.

metalshapes · « **Reply #22 on:** July 15, 2009, 04:00:38 AM »

Bond ?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #23 on:** July 15, 2009, 04:01:50 AM »

Humber?

Allemano · « **Reply #24 on:** July 15, 2009, 04:03:42 AM »

Not a Bond.
