Identify the car - what it was known as, the builder, the engine it was fitted with - for a point.

Lotus MK3?

Not a Lotus but it is nearer the correct size rather than the Allard

It is a car that was home-built but based on a recognised make.

based on Austin Seven?

MG based?

woodinsight · « **Reply #14 on:** April 17, 2014, 12:20:46 AM »

Neither Austin or MG based.
The marque is quite well known but not one of the mainstream manufacturers

Alvis?

woodinsight · « **Reply #16 on:** April 22, 2014, 03:15:57 AM »

Not an Alvis - much less refined!

frederick59 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 22, 2014, 10:23:21 AM »

Is it mainly a racing car manufacturer?

woodinsight · « **Reply #18 on:** April 22, 2014, 10:52:39 AM »

Yes, the majority of the cars they produced were used in competition.

This particular car used one of the base models of this manufacturer but it was built/modified as a one-off.

An Elva?

woodinsight · « **Reply #20 on:** April 23, 2014, 01:04:08 AM »

Not Elva but you're moving in the right direction

Long shot: Cooper-MG?

woodinsight · « **Reply #24 on:** April 23, 2014, 08:13:16 AM »

No, not a Cooper-MG or any type of Cooper......
