Well unless I am mistaken

Based on a 1930s rover saloon chassis.
Hand made aluminium bodywork
Built by Jim Dudley of Tiger Racing for his own use.


As for the badge, probably ERA as he owns the rights to the name. I can ask him when he has finished repairing my car.....

The radiator grille does have similarities to the pre-war ERA. Probably intentional.

Raymond Mays would not be amused.

Yes, that's surely the inspiration.
The car is designed as an evocation of a 1930's sports car.
