Solved - NEH 1654: 1958 Regah-MG
« on: March 12, 2012, 07:11:50 AM »
And we'd better have a red car so what is this, who built it and when?

Google Search by Image continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Search by Image as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

Looks like a 15 but the wheels are wrong - look like BRM wheels

Ok.  How about a 1959 Tojeiro Jaguar, builder, John Tojeiro.  The Lotus and Tojeiro badges look similar (one version, anyway.)

Exactly!  Built in 1958 by "Geoff Wright's Dad" but I don't know his name, using what looks very much to me like a Lotus body!
Well done and...
