Solved - NEH 2548: FV Venturina - 1962
« on: March 15, 2013, 08:44:06 AM »
What's this, who built it, what powered it and from when does it date - for 1 point?  (And yes, I know there is a picture of this elsewhere on AP but it's never been a puzzle before!)

You've got the right car, right maker and right base; but despite most mentions of it say it dates from 1964 I understand that is incorrect!

Locked for you to investigate and see if you can come up with what I believe is the correct date it first appeared.
