GTC #93 SOLVED: Rhubarb 1
« on: March 04, 2015, 06:35:10 AM »
So I've been absent... for close to 5 years!! Missed this place a fair bit, feels good to be back in this familiar place!

Not sure if my return will be a long-lived one, but I'd like to at least get a couple puzzles in like the good old days.

Without further ado, 1 point up for grabs for whoever can identify this vee-hicle!

(What's the deal with GIS? Seems like it could easily put people at an advantage with regards to internet-gathered images...)

A very good chance in fact.

Thanks mate, great to still see so many familiar names around! Hopefully I can still keep up, there's some insanely obscure cars here! Might have to put together a group puzzle or something similar again.

I knew I'd seen it before somewhere....Car was originally called Rhubarb 1, then a Mini Special and latterly a Cannon.

You are of course correct!

I recently had a delightful run-in with the NEW Rhubarb, purely by accident on the road and somehow managed to snag a ride. Had no idea until later they had a mild history dating back 30-40 years!

Seems to me it's a car that requires a sizeable story written about it.  At least one fairly illustrious name involved in its construction and a pretty interesting life thereafter.  The pic I saw a year or soi ago in a (slightly) obscure thread on another site was obviously taken at the same time as yours.
