Any Italian involvement?

Related to the Lotus 1100 Le Mans Spider by Ghia Aigle?

barrett · « **Reply #13 on:** October 09, 2012, 01:58:28 PM »

No connection to Ghia-Aigle or Lotus, and not built in Italy

Austin-Ford Special originally built by John Macklin?

barrett · « **Reply #16 on:** October 10, 2012, 08:43:31 PM »

Not that one. No Ford bits as far as I know. Find the country and it'll probably narrow it down a little...

From Australia?

No, but close...

New Zealand?

barrett · « **Reply #20 on:** October 11, 2012, 01:42:57 PM »

New Zealand is correct

woodinsight · « **Reply #21 on:** October 11, 2012, 02:02:11 PM »

Does it have an Austin engine?

barrett · « **Reply #22 on:** October 11, 2012, 02:45:28 PM »

Yes, as far as I know the running gear is all Austin 7

Allemano · « **Reply #23 on:** October 11, 2012, 03:38:30 PM »

It's Ferris de Joux's first special, based on Austin Seven components with a plastic body.
