Transverse FWD I believe... Only learned about this the other day via IG, and I thought I knew every 1930s techno-streamliner. Turns out nobody else has heard of it either - comissioned an article on it, but the people with all the documents relating to the project won't play ball because they're working on a book about Jonghi motorcycles, to which this is connected. So look out for a big French-language Jonghi book in the next couple of years for the full story, I guess... martc and Remspoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martc Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 And Jonghi motorbikes are brand I've never heard of - some interesting looking bollides, particularly when compared to the British equivalents... This, or... This? Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reg on theirs starts on KE though, IIRC, I've not really paid much attention to it as the rear end of the thing does make me a little nauseous... 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Charm Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Following on from the Astra body on a Corvette chassis, here's the 1975 Corvette hatchback. It wasn't an official model, but conversions were done on a semi-official basis on new cars by a coachbuilder. It's rather better resolved, visually speaking, than the German efforts with the Astra and the Porsche estate. In fact, it's a very elegant car. bunglebus, NorfolkNWeigh, LightBulbFun and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
