Solved - MJW #1018 - Platypus-Porsche 1964 (original configuration)
« on: October 25, 2012, 02:33:32 AM »
This is not really a repost. The car was posted before but in a different configuration.
I'll merge them once it's solved.

For one point identify the make, year and the make of engine that was fitted.

I am putting the 1964 Platypus-Porsche, as the answer to the puzzle MJW #1018. I am putting the Ford P68 towards your profile picture car.

Well done - it is the Platypus that earns you a point and you are correct that the Ford P68 is my current avatar!

Just to keep the record straight - this is the same basic car as Tifosi's puzzle #61 when it was fitted with an Oldsmobile power unit and a Lotus 19 body.
As both puzzles are quite different I'll keep them separate rather than merging them.
Note that I've added (original configuration) to the title of this one.
