Not a Cooper, and no Alpine connection that I know of.

A Lola? Interesting that the suspension leading arms and trailing arms connect at a common point on the side of the chassis

No, not a Lola.

But it's a Formula Junior contender, right?

Not 100% sure, but I think so.

Title: Re: Djetset #230
Post by: Djetset on December 10, 2009, 06:14:44 AM

Not a GRAC, and I don't believe that it's Swedish either.

Maybe French? Renault engined Formule France car?

Title: Re: Djetset #230
Post by: metalshapes on April 07, 2010, 07:01:04 PM

If I remember right, there was a connection to Belgium.

( the car was built there or it was found there...)

It's a Go-Kart without an engine. :P

Lova built by Jef Dujourie of Belgium?

Title: Re: Djetset #230
Post by: Djetset on July 05, 2010, 02:13:21 PM

Correct.  The point is yours.

That car on your guess the car is the one I am researching. Its a Dkw 100cc works engine Lova. Chassis number 4. Is being rebuilt and should be back on the historic formula junior soon!!!

If anyone knows where I can get historic photos, I love to know..

Many Thanks

I have three shots (not very sharp) on my HD - see below.
There may be better photos somewhere on the web or of course in the books on Formula Junior.

I took these photos of the Lova today:

Here's the car at the 1960 Eifelrennen meeting. Duncan Rabagliati reckons there were 3 Lova cars built, and I think these photos cover all of them - the front-engined car (which has no connection with this puzzle!), the 1960 rear-engined car, still DKW engined, and the even later car which seems to have a DKW motor, but in period was Ford-engined.
