Solved - MJW #981 - Coldwell Mink 1965
« on: August 08, 2012, 03:19:22 PM »
What is this sports racer with extra-high front wings?
What was it named and the year will be sufficient for the point.

Good guesses but it's neither a Lotus or a Yimkin

Mallock/U2
Lotus
Yimkin
Ladybird
Alexis
Pilbeam

By way of a clue, this car's model name was more appropriate for a lady than a car!

I like your way of thinking Ray but it's not one of those...

Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets.  Perhaps she wants a Lotus Mk VI?

Nice answer Ray but Lola didn't want or end up with a Lotus Mk VI!

Not that one.....
The name of this car is two words - eight letters and four letters.

I should add that the constructor of this car also built a rear-engined racing coupe that was prominently featured on AutoPuzzles not so long ago.

Time to resurrect some of puzzles that are gathering dust in the depths of the Pros......

This particular make has appeared on AP as one of their GT coupes before but I think this may be their first car.

A clue then - "it's freezing, therefore it's time the lady had one of these" (8 letters and 4 letters)
