SOLVED: Djetset 1064 - Mander Coupe one-off, 1970
« on: July 04, 2020, 06:07:34 AM »
I think this one is quite tricky, so I'm posting it straight into the Pros level, but naturally the puzzle is also open to all Rookies and Experts as well.

So, for a point, what is this, and in what year was it made?

No BMC/BL components used to the best of my knowledge.

It was initially powered by a Ford Ten-related engine, but this seems to have soon been replaced with a more modern motor.

Ford Cortina-based coupe built by Clive Mander from Warwickshire in ~1978.

Most of your answer is close enough to be awarded a point, although it is only particularly based on a Cortina (using a Ford Crossflow engine), and this photo dates from around 1978, but the car itself was built around 1970. Well done.
