Name the car and gain a point.
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

Australian?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Oophs! I only meant to move this one up one level to the Experts, but my iPhone had a Wi-Fi blip, so it seems to have moved twice! Too late now I guess, so I'll leave it here with the Pros, although Experts can still respond.  Oh, and yes, it is Australian :)

Djetset is having trouble getting on to the site; trying to fix it for him but in the meantime he's asked me to tell you it's not a Centaur..

A huge thank you to Carnut in helping me to be able to log back into AP again, which is a great relief after experiencing a few problems with the site over the last few days.

For some odd reason though, I'm still not receiving notifications into my e-mail address on my own puzzles, plus any other where I have hit the 'Notify' button, so it may now take me a little longer to respoynd to your posts. If anyone knows the reason behind this , and/or a solution, please do let me know. Thanks.

Oh, and sorry Nicanary, but it's not a Centaur.

Thanks Carnut, it's good to be back!

Sadly though, I'm still not receiving any notifications (to either my Hotmail or gmail accounts, the latter of which I tried earlier today before I was temporarily blocked out of AP) so I don't think the problem is with my e-mails, frustratingly.

I have been trawling through the pages of a well-known website for nostalgic enthusiasts, and I'm getting even more confused,

Is this Gavin Sandford-Morgan's Magnolia?

Yes it is, powered by a Coventry Climax motor.  Another point to you Nicanary.

Thanks for the point. The confusion I was referring to was the fact that virtually all small sports-racers being built in Australia at that time, looked so much alike. Basically a copy of the Lola Mk1/Widi/Rejo.
