Not quite what it seems? For a point, please tell me what this is and who is responsible for its creation

Experts turn

Is it perhaps a Cavaliere 3000 made by CRD, Port Charlotte, Florida?

barrett · « **Reply #3 on:** November 10, 2012, 12:54:58 PM »

Not that

Possibly Sebring 5000 by Classic Roadsters? I can imagine one turned out this nicely, but this would be the most tasteful of the ones that I've seen.

Not that either...

Funny one, this. It's a replica of John Chatham's infamous Big Healey racer, but... in a 1:2 scale. The guy who built it is Colin Rule from Australia. It uses an electric motor but when you open the bonnet you'd swear there's a full working inline-6 under the bonnet, too. The detail is really amazing. Mr. Rule built several more. Unforunately he's not allowed to use the Healey name, so he calls them Junior 3000's.

Great puzzle!

They look full size!

barrett · « **Reply #13 on:** November 20, 2012, 07:00:04 AM »

Correct! It really does look like a full size car at first glance, but of course once you know....

Sorry I didn't see your reply until now

For a point, who made this and where, and remember that this is AutoPuzzles, so things are not always as they might seem

Djetset · « **Reply #15 on:** June 19, 2019, 06:22:44 PM »

No Rookie responses, so up to the Experts...

Well someone has to point out that, whatever it is, it's pretending to be David Dixon's ex-works A-H 3000 registration DD300.
That actually looked like:

This is a half scale Austin Healey made by Australian Colin Rule around 2000

Spot on, and sorry for the slow response; exceptionally busy at the moment. Here's another photo of this half-scale electric Austin-Healey to give you a sense of its size. Another point to you.
