SOLVED: Djetset #637 - Circa Coupe
« on: April 15, 2013, 04:58:07 PM »
Here is a first of a series of new puzzles.  Please excuse the photo quality, but my camera was stolen recently, so the next few puzzles have been taken using my telephone, which is a bit fuzzy.

So, for a point, what is the name of this car?

Not sure if it is Scottish, but it is British.

remember seeing a pic of the car (probably this very same) on Autosport, late '80s/early '90s but nothing more :)

I didn't source this image from Autosport, but think you are in the right era for the car.

Up to the Pros...

Darn it, got distracted and moved into the wrong area by mistake.  Back into the Pros section.  Thanks Allemano ;).

Metron is a Mini-based special? Thank you :)

Quiller gets it!  Well done, as this is the Circa, built by the same chap that made the Mini-based Metron.  Another point to you.

I do have a front view - will post when I am back home & here it is. It's by Terry Smith and is very professionally done - as you can appreciate from the fact that it was wind tunnel-tested.

So it seems, although it looks rather professional for a home-built car..
