Did the builder make a small series of cars, or is this a one-off (eigenbau)?

SACO · « **Reply #15 on:** March 03, 2015, 11:22:42 AM »

This is a one-off !

I don't know if you know what the engine is, but it may help me reduce my number of guesses......

Is it an MG XPAG ?

I don't unfortunately know the engine !

1959 Daily Mail Paris to London race ?

edit: DH Technical College plane and car for 1959 London-Paris race

nicanary · « **Reply #23 on:** October 08, 2015, 06:17:21 AM »

The college became part of Hatfield Tech, and they entered a Terrier prepared by Brian Hart. The Terrier was at that time a clubmans racing car, so that would explain the "added-on" valances over the wings to comply with road regulations.

PS That's Brian Hart in the white shirt.

So will we get half a point each ?
