Solved: Wendax 2433 - Bart de Vries Aero

[Wendax]

What kind of car would you expect on a campsite?

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

[William Hearne.]

Bugatti Type 57.

[Wendax]

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

[Wendax]

up

[Allan L]

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

[Wendax]

Not an HRG

[FrontMan]

....based on a Speed 20 Alvis?

[richard cuyler]

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.

[FrontMan]

Jaguar base?

[Wendax]

Yes

[richard cuyler]

Mmm, XK120/150 maybe?

[Wendax]

No

[D-type]

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

[Wendax]

No

[FrontMan]

XK140

[gilescooperuk]

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

XJ series or earlier?

[Wendax]

XK140

No

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

[gilescooperuk]

MK 2?

[Wendax]

No

[gilescooperuk]

MK VII

[Wendax]

Getting closer

[D-type]

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

[Wendax]

No

[gilescooperuk]

Mk IV

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