A severe case of front toe-in!
A point awaits who can tell me the name of the car and the year when it was competing.

Experts?

I've temporarily mislaid my information on this special.
Therefore I'll award a point for the name it was known by and move it up to the Pros.

I feel I should know this Austin 7 based accident just about to happen!
Rusty memory won't come up with anything useful for the moment.

Looks very smilar to the Alexis trials cars...

It was being used at a sprint meeting and I think it should have stayed on muddy hills!
Not Alexis but a one-off built in the 1950s.

Let's try to solve this one quickly as it's pretty obscure for most puzzlers.

It's the xxxxx Special

As a clue - think of a form of clothing.......

Shirt?

Wendax · « **Reply #8 on:** April 06, 2011, 05:20:42 AM »

Skirt?

Allemano · « **Reply #9 on:** April 06, 2011, 05:21:09 AM »

Short?

woodinsight · « **Reply #10 on:** April 06, 2011, 05:53:19 AM »

Shirt, skirt or short whilst quite amusing are incorrect.
Think of a chilly winter night..............!

scarf?

woodinsight · « **Reply #12 on:** April 06, 2011, 05:58:23 AM »

Not scarf.....(and it doesn't start with S!)

Parka?

Wendax · « **Reply #14 on:** April 06, 2011, 06:23:06 AM »

Boots?

Carnut · « **Reply #15 on:** April 06, 2011, 06:27:33 AM »

Hood?

woodinsight · « **Reply #17 on:** April 06, 2011, 06:59:18 AM »

Not Fur, Hood, Boots or Parka!
Carnut is closest though....

Allemano · « **Reply #18 on:** April 06, 2011, 07:16:27 AM »

Beanie?

woodinsight · « **Reply #19 on:** April 06, 2011, 07:43:35 AM »

Beanie no.....

The word is the plural of this clothing item so it's xxxxs

Carnut · « **Reply #20 on:** April 06, 2011, 07:48:42 AM »

Coats?

woodinsight · « **Reply #21 on:** April 06, 2011, 07:55:15 AM »

Coats?

Bingo! and another point for you.
It's the Coats Special (further information I mislaid recently)
