Is there any mini-base for this car?

Carnut · « **Reply #17 on:** December 09, 2013, 02:43:24 PM »

Looking at those wheels I would almost certainly say it's based on a Ford 1172 sidevalve car - Popular or Prefect of the very early 1950s..

Jensen??

nicanary · « **Reply #19 on:** December 10, 2013, 06:52:50 AM »

Unfortunately, the website which used to provide all the info on these cars has left the internet. It must be a GRP body on a Ford s/v base, but I can't be sure what it is. Is it an early effort from E.B.?

Sorry I didn't notice that the fourth "smile" was "smiling";
So, any connection with Tornado Typhoon?

Quiller · « **Reply #24 on:** December 15, 2013, 04:46:23 PM »

Yes it is British, but not a Tornado...
