Jonas was pleased with his new creation which consisted mostly of an old slipper, wheelbarrow wheels and a Briggs and Stratton lawnmower engine. His wife just hoped he wouldn't post the picture on social media.

I realize richard cuyler's response was tongue-in-cheek, but that sure looks like a Briggs & Stratton mower engine to me.

Yes. I just double-checked and the article is still there.

To aid you - the car was built in 1956, and had a 2hp motor.

Yes it is.  The date would make him about 14 or 15 when it was built. He was of course an F1 driver with BRM and Iso-Marlboro, and went on to build Tiga sports cars with Tim Schenken.

Hard luck oko94.
