Q#71 - solved - Codford by Neville Trickett
« on: August 27, 2008, 10:31:02 AM »
This is a tough one so I'm opening it up to all AutoPuzzlers. What I want to know is: what was the company and designer behind this car?

It's too obvious to ask but I'll do it, yet: any connection with a Mini?

Was it made by a manufacturer who also made other cars?

The company made just the two cars. But its designer was responsible for many others

Quite possibly. And I reckon those are BMC 1100 rear lights

Was the designer of this 'bitza' the infamous Neville Trickett?  Oh, and BTW, Happy New Year and Happy 50th birthday to the Mini.

It was indeed Neville Trickett! That provides the Stewart & Ardern connection, because he designed the Minisprint that was once made by S&A.

OK, Djetset, that's one point for you. Now I want to know the name of the car! That will earn the lucky puzzler one point

It's the so-called "Codford conversion" built by one "Todd" Sweeney for David DaSouza. Designed by Neville Trickett of course.

Here's a few more pics.

It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.
