Wiki on the manufacture JAC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAC_Motors Links with the VW group. Even sold in Switzerland. The wiki about this car. Wiki calls this the Sehol E10X. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sehol_E10X fun fact: Sehol was born as SOL, Spanish for Sun, and it was gonna be the JAC-VW joint venture brand Why Spanish? Because they wanted to badge their first car as a SEAT for China (in one of many attempts of dumping SEAT from VAG) so they got SEAT to restyle a JAC Remspoor and face 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that photo at Lewes station. which itself owes its existence to the The Invacar (as in the originial Invacar!) which is the genesis of everything! Yes Invariably inevitably Invacar! as Vernon Industries started out by building Invacars under licence from Invacar Ltd, when Invacar got swamped by orders from the Ministry they licensed out the design to Vernon Industry Limited (note Vernon's non standard use of a BSA engine rather then usual Villiers engine) and Samuel Elliot Ltd who both produced the original Invacar under licence with the introduction of the Invacar Mk8 however, Invacar ended their licensing agreements with Vernon and Samuel Elliot this forced both companies to produce their own designs to retain their lucrative government sales, resulting in the above Vernon Invalid Car, which owes a lot of its design to the Invacar hence the side mounted outboard engine like an Original Invacar! and also the Samual Elliot Padwin (which never entered serial production) Sadly no Vernon Invalid cars are known to still survive Remspoor, SteersWithThrottle and outlaw118 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Quote There’s nothing quite like a Darmont.

MiniMinorMk3 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 That started life as the Dome Zero in 1975-6. It failed to get Type Approval, so teh P2 was built. In 1979 Dome raced two Zero RLs at Le Mans. The also raced in 1980 and 1981. I've had a couple as models in the past. warch and martc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rust Collector Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 That's a stunning machine, I love seeing the motors that come up in this thread. A mate of mine said he had been offered a 2010 Cadillac BLS Sport Wagon as a direct swap for his Granada, cue me thinking what the fuck is a Cadillac BLS. Google has the answer, slightly* less beautiful than some of the other cars in this thread sadly: Apparently it's built on Saab underpinnings. I think I'd prefer the Granada!

I remember one in a magazine at the time, with a big V8 which had the reg ROD 401 arranged ROD 40! It looks like it still exists and is on SORN.
