What kind of car would you expect on a campsite?

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Bugatti Type 57.

That would be too easy I guess, but the car was surely inspired by it.

For some reason I think it could be an HRG, but probably not, as I can't find anything to back that up

Wendax · « **Reply #5 on:** December 22, 2017, 04:31:09 AM »

Not an HRG

....based on a Speed 20 Alvis?

It's beautiful! Is it a recreation on a vintage chassis? I wonder why the brake drums are bigger on the rear wheels than on the front - maybe this is just an optical illusion.....?

It surely is beautiful. Its chassis is not as old as the car looks, but neither a new one.

Jaguar base?

Mmm, XK120/150 maybe?

If not an XK chassis, is it based on an SS Jaguar chassis?

FrontMan · « **Reply #15 on:** December 23, 2017, 05:24:05 PM »

XK140

gilescooperuk · « **Reply #16 on:** December 23, 2017, 05:53:31 PM »

Well if it isn’t an XK or a SS chassis then it would need to be a saloon chassis.

XJ series or earlier?

It is based on a Jaguar saloon chassis earlier than XJ.

MK 2?

gilescooperuk · « **Reply #20 on:** December 24, 2017, 02:17:44 AM »

MK VII

Wendax · « **Reply #21 on:** December 24, 2017, 02:52:23 AM »

Getting closer

D-type · « **Reply #22 on:** December 25, 2017, 04:52:19 PM »

Not an SS, or Mk VII - how about a Mk V?

Wendax · « **Reply #23 on:** December 25, 2017, 05:21:31 PM »

gilescooperuk · « **Reply #24 on:** December 25, 2017, 05:39:26 PM »

Mk IV

Basin on the fact is has drum brakes and anything newer would have front disks as least
