Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 That thing humping the Astras is shocking, it must scrub tyres out in no time for a start. I wonder how it attaches? I'm envisaging something like a couple of picture hooks that clip on the rear edge of the sunroof aperture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I don't know anything about physics, or weight distribution or owt really, but why didn't they at least put the slave wheels at the back of the thing instead of having that ridiculous overhang?

chaseracer Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 47 minutes ago, Rod/b said: Isn’t it just an Oztin Kimberley with a VDP face? Pretty much... ...or Tasman, depending. Wikipedia sez: "In the early 1970s, British Leyland had an idea of a medium-sized Vanden Plas model, based on the Australian X6 models. Had the car entered production (there was a running prototype made), it would have had a formalised Wolseley 1800/2200 front end, the rest of the car's bodyshell being X6 based. The car is now in private ownership, one of very few prototypes to leave a factory." So, about 70% correct, then... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as expensive but looks like a kit car and from a manufacturer very few people, if anyone has ever heard of. Looks like a fun car. Love the styling!

Thought it would be interesting to add to few to this thread! And no, I don't actually know what it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martc Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 10 hours ago, Dick Van Diesel said: What's this? I thought it had the look of some of the rather nice Japanese cars from the 60's. The Japanese factories where very interested in European and especially Italian designs at the time. Could it be by Michelotti he did work for Hino and of course designed the Herald. There's also the look of an Isuzu about it. Also, is that a Pininfarina script behind the front wheel? But it's LHD I would expect if it was Japanese (or based on a Herald) it would be RHD. Unless it's been printed the wrong way round... Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksy Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I'd have a guess that it's based on a '60s Opel Rekord coupe. The hubcaps look about right and the rear quarter panels look very similar. However the kink in the c pillar may suggest a BMW connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 This is a Triumph Fury prototype which is obviously just a Spitfire with a new front but it is a similar front isn't it? Dick Longbridge, spartacus and Bfg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
