Scroll down a bit for the show pictures

 

 

Right, Just downloading some photos i took today at a show and i will update this thread with the photos but for now can anyone name this car?.

 

I haven't a clue, There wasn't any badges on it at all and all i can find on it on a ebay listings seach is that it's a 1951 model registered in 1980 with a 1600cc engine?.

 

Someone on flickr has commented that "It looks like the front of a 1950 Studebaker with a Tucker Torpedo center headlight and the body of an A-H 3000!"

The details on the system are:Vehicle Make/Model: HILLMAN KIT CAR Registration Mark TPF793Make HILLMANModel OTHERBody Type SPORTSColour RED

[Pete-M]

According to the insurance database its a Hillman Kit Car.

[shite_meister]

I would say its a special or a bitsa-quite common at one point for people to hack together a special using bread & butter mechanicals, that grill is rank. Body looks like a Jag XK120 thats shrunk in the wash.*Edit-just typed this before the others piped up with the Hillman stuff.

According to the RAC vehicle check it's a Hillman. There was no model name in the results, so I guess 'awful homebuilt special' isn't on the DVLA's list.

Cheers guys knew you find it!, So it's a Hillman homebrew then?, Yeah your right UJames, It's like that bird from Total Recall!Wonder what model it's based one, ugly car mind!, Look at the overspray on the front wheel!

It's actually in a Hayne's kitcar book. The middle light and it's bulge is totally uneccessary!

Another week, Another show!

 

This week I've been to Helmingham Hall Festival of Classics and Sports Cars in Suffolk, Really good show, Has a nice straight in front of the house which was used a strip for owners to thrash there cars up, Great fun watching some of the old boys that have never booted there cars before crunch through the gears.

 

As always the rest of the photos are HERE (Only 187 to go through!)

 

 

Mega mint Maestro Turbo with only 14000 miles on the clock

 

 

 

The most pimped Skoda I've ever seen!, and yes it was owned by a older chap!

 

 

Very tatty 240Z, the whole car was rotten with big holes in most the panels, I'd still roll it though

I have a thing for those Vacel Fegas. The other 2 door sports GT I'd happily over polish would be a Gordon Keeble. Looks like a half decent event - I've wondered over to quite a few shows over the years only to be disappointed by an insipid selection. Curiously though, the cars have been getting more interesting and better restored - I wonder what will happen to all those Plastic Padding finished Singers and E93A's when their owners finally die?
