« on: September 24, 2019, 07:39:24 AM »
This car is so generic of its period. What is it?

No. In fact I have just checked my source and there is little or no information. I think I will LOCK this puzzle for tobytwirl to finish it off.

What was the engine size? Two attempts allowed, so you can't go wrong!

Still locked for one more try - not too difficult.

And there we have it. Another point to your total.

I obtained the puzzle from a 1970 magazine. It looks so much like an Alvis special the name of which escapes me, and also the Napier-Railton. There is no clue in the advert as to the build date so it could have been in period or an attempt ro recreate a late 30s racer.

Here's the original advert.
