Solved - Barrett's 1001 - Lansing Bagnall (Bradshaw) Shay Sports
« on: May 17, 2019, 11:31:48 AM »
As usual I have ottally lost track of my last puzzles. It's been such a long time I'm going to start 'from scratch' again with 1001.

Who can name this car, its designer and the year for a point?

It is British, and there is a VERY tenuous Bond connection...

It is a Microplas Toledo as Front Man says: the Stiletto came later.
It was a design of Bill Ashton, Mike Eyres and Sandy and Tony Wemyss, yes, and was based on an Austin 7 chassis, although it could be mounted on other chassis too.
Since barrett seems to have abondoned his puzzles I'll leave it a bit longer and if he doesn't reply I'll award points and move this to solved.

I've given both FrontMan and hermanoto a point since one got the car right and the other got its builders.
Moved to solved.

Just a bump for this on my return. Although the body is probably a Microplas, that is not the answer to the puzzle!

I've moved this over to the 'Master' section to see if anyone can figure it out.
