Yes 2 points for you. we have gathered as much information as possible on this car. What the hell was wrong with the writer of this story about this cool car? Gotta include the name & builder of the vehicle you are reporting about!

Identify when and where this was built and what powers it, for 1 point:

Thanks PJ.
It's rather a recent repost so I've merged it.
Had trouble finding it as it was titled with the builder's name, which isn't mentioned anywhere in the articles.
Sorry thorax, but you've had 1 point for it already so that's your lot!

thorax · May 30, 2012, 01:40:12 PM

no problem Carnut

Carnut · January 24, 2013, 10:08:34 AM

What's this, and what are the unusual things about it - for 1 point?:

ANYONE FOUND GIVING ANSWERS GLEANED BY USING GOOGLE SEARCH BY IMAGE MAY BE BANNED FOR AN INDETERMINATE PERIOD!

I have a copy of an article in my archives.
The car was powered by two Austin 7hp engines placed transversely in the frame behind the back rest. The car could reach a speed of 105 mph. I have no names, neither of the builder nor of the car itself. It is home made and many Ford parts were used.

That's right; your points tally increases by 50%!
The unusual things are 1) there are 2 engines and 2) they are transversely-mounted (not unusual today but it certainly was back then!)

This was a repost.
Somewhere here there is also a rare front view plus the builder's name!
