Solved NIC#1000 - GKN Lotus 47/Buick V8 test mule
« on: November 09, 2018, 06:35:57 AM »
My 1000th puzzle! My puzzles are usually fairly easy, so this one's no exception!

It's really quite straightforward, but remember nothing is quite what it seems.............

Fantastic.

Thanks. I've got a way to go before I catch up with you.

Quite honestly, I'm still continually amazed at how many cars HAVEN'T yet been featured. although they're difficult to track down.

Yes it is. I expected some naive answers, but you obviously know your stuff.

GKN bought the car, had it lengthened and widened, and a Buick V8 installed, all for testing its transmissions. I think it led to the FF100 which has been a previous puzzle.
