Solved NIC#1287 - ATN de Havilland Special
« on: January 05, 2021, 05:47:01 AM »
I apologise for the paint which is obscuring a watermark. It's the only image I could find. What is it?

It's the mid-50s but not Shelsley Walsh.

How about Archie Butterworth's Steyr-engined Jeep-based special ?

You found it. Well done. I can't find out much more about the car, but one comment reckons it had an MG Q-type chassis which seems unlikely to me, unless it was lengthened.

One poni to you.

Thanks for the point! I agree that the wheelbase appears to be longer in the puzzle photo, but this could be due to distortion of the image. From a discussion of the car that appeared in the 'letters' section of Motorsport, 1987-88:

Thanks. That's interesting.  The Bellevue Special still exists and has raced at Goodwood so either it's a repop or the ATN did not disappear into oblivion.
