Solved - MJW #638 - Witton Special 1960
« on: October 21, 2011, 06:57:33 AM »
This is a replacement for the previous #638 that was a repost (Lloyd Alexander Frua/Ghia-Aigle Coupe).

For a point what's the name and year of this small sports racer?

I don't think it's meant to be a Maserati copy of any kind, and it's not from South America!

Is it an actual old racer, vs. a newer look-alike?

It's a genuine oldie.  But it does look in remarkably good condition for a car of its age so I guess it's probably been rebuilt once or twice along the way.  I haven't been able to find a great deal out about this car apart from the details I'm asking for, though I do know the basic details of its motive power.

That's the car, yes.
But - I now see that makes it a re-post, as the source where I found it had mis-spelled "Witton" so of course the original puzzle didn't show up on the Search.
However, the car looks surprisingly different in my picture from how it appeared in the original puzzle (e.g. the front lights), so I'll give pnegyesi the point for getting it but I'll have to merge it nevertheless as it is actually the same car..

Well done anyway.
