Austin 7 base?

Looks to me as if it's Morris-based and it could be one of the Skinner cars, but that'd be a repost. . .

Carnut · « **Reply #7 on:** August 05, 2015, 06:07:02 AM »

It's neither Austin- nor Morris-based and is nothing to do with Skinner..

Built pre-war ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #18 on:** August 05, 2015, 05:32:03 PM »

That is Austin Tauranac's Ralt sportscar.

Aarrgghh! I knew I'd seen it before!

That's right!
RALT 2 actually..
And when was it built (locked for PJ to tell me); not pre-war (just to answer oko's question).

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #21 on:** August 07, 2015, 10:00:16 AM »

According to Ron Tauranac's Official website it was the 2nd car built in 1949-50 but called just 1100.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #22 on:** August 07, 2015, 10:05:19 AM »

And the place where this pic was posted by Doug reports 1951. ( "I call it Ralt 2").

Indeed!
Well done.
