Solved - MJW #152 - Snapper Triumph TR3 Mistral

[woodinsight]

What car is this based on, what body does it have and the key question - who built it?

Well the body is, of course, a microplas mistral, and for some reason I think it might be sitting on a Triumph TR chassis....

[woodinsight]

Correct so far Barrett - it's based on a TR3 chassis with a Mistral body.
I just need to know who built it (the car is usually known by his surname)
Locked for you until your next reply

Anthony Snapper?

[woodinsight]

That's the man!
Well done and another point for you - 100 points congratulations.
We should have a 100 plus club (less than 200 though!)

Another view - I took the photo just opposite my old residence in Hove many moons ago

[barrett]

I thought I recognised the location! Brunswick square?

Anyway, here is what it looks like today

[woodinsight]

close - Palmeira Square
Glad to see the car is still around - looks a little frayed round the edges.
Nice car though

This car was entered in the Historics auction at Brooklands this weekend (26th May).  I don't know how it did.
It was described as a "1967 Triumph TR3/4 Mistral".

Apparently it sold, I believe for £9143 including fees.
