« on: August 15, 2017, 06:41:47 AM »
What is this car, and who built it? (Sorry for the messy editing - my laptop still refuses to allow me to select colour and shape!)

It was built from British components, but doesn't originate from the UK.

‘Young Startlet’ Good one :lmao:

The Elleton was built in the early 60’s by Bruce Watt of Melbourne.
