Bradley 1992-1996
Bradley Motor Co., Whalley, Lancashire
Strongly reminescent of the Falcon Mk1 bodyshell, the Bradley S61 originally used Ford Ten components, but a chassis for Ford Escort parts was developed. There was also a completely different steel tube chassis designed to accept a Rover V8 engine.

Another source reports that it used old Ashley body shells.

Well, if a Pro has to solve it, why not me?
That's the Bradley S61, one of my old puzzles.

I know they were different versions, one to accept Ford parts and one for Rover V8. I know there was also a Vauxhall-powered one.

According to a website:
The car was named after the creators wife and the number S61 was to commemorate the final year (1961) that sports racing cars were driven to le Mans to compete. The car has been extensively developed since its inception and has competed in numerous hill climbs and race meetings throughout Europe. It is also regularly shown at Goodwood and le Mans. The running gear and drive train bears little resemblance to the cars original guise and has been developed for fast road and track use. This prototype factory car was built and was initially intended that it would be supplied in kit form to discerning customers but the project never really took off. It is believed that only three bodies and chassis were ever produced and that this is the only surviving example.

Ferrari badges can be purchased on the internet. I suspect from China. I believe that the builder of this car was simply over-enthusiastic in his belief that the car looks similar to a 1950s Ferrari sports-racer. IMO it's a bit puerile, but some people don't see it that way. Ditto the racing number roundels, and the Le Mans sticker - he may claim the car has raced and sprinted, but my guess it that this claim is in his imagination. It's another failed kit-car venture.
