SOLVED: Djetset #589 - Coventry Victor Venus
« on: March 19, 2012, 06:03:55 PM »
Surprised if we have not had this one before, but I can't find it on a search.

Anyway, what is it for a point please?

Coventry Victor Venus. It was made in about 1949, and the Austin A30 radiator is what confuses - it was presumably added later. It is featured in RUM News - the magazine of the Register of Unusual Microcars - for their current issue (Spring 2012).

Sorry for the slow reply Magnette but been away travelling for a while.  Anyway, worth the wait hopefully as you gain another point with the right answer.  

The (1948) car is now displayed at the Coventry Transport Museum, which is free and well worth a visit if ever you are passing.  Well done.
