Solved NIC#408 - LWS Formula Junior (Leith Walk Special)
« on: May 20, 2015, 08:07:59 AM »
I'm sorry about the poor photo, but it's the only one I could find of suitable size. The puzzle car is the car behind the other one! What is it, and who built it? THE CAR IS AT THE REAR OF THE PHOTO.

It's the single-seater which is the puzzle car!  ;D

The photo was probably taken in the North of the UK, if that's any help. (The only other photo I could find of this car was the size of a postage stamp, and would have been illegible if it had been enlarged.)

In order to make this a worthwhile puzzle, here is the other image I have found of this car. It's larger than I first thought.

Because it's you, I'm going to be pedantic with this one. My question also asked who built it, and it's not the driver. LOCKED for you to complete the puzzle. (Very well solved again. This is a very obscure car even in the UK.)
