This looks like the ex Stondon car. I don’t know where it ended up after the brightwell auction but it could have gone to Northern Ireland by the looks of it? I went to the Stondon auction at Brightwells as I fancied the Lagonda or Camargue, both went for more than I was prepared to pay being a tightwad! The auctioneer was taking bids off the wall and tried to fit up a bloke standing near me for excessive bids on the Camargue, it was clear that he had said he was out at around the price I wanted to pay. The auctioneer was very dodgy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The C-reg Sunny coupe near me is staill available AFAIK, although I believe Datman has someone interested in it. 1985 Nissan Sunny 1.5 SGL Maxima Coupe by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a Villiers 4T engine - an option for the Type G minicar; although Villiers bought JAP in 1957, 4 years before the type G was introduced, so there is some sort of connection. I wouldn't worry about the scariness of it - it developed a mighty 17 (seventeen) horsepower. It used a Siba Dynastart to start it. This used clever elastrickery to turn the dynamo into a starter motor by reversing the polarity of the neutron flow or something. I think the starter motor/generator on my newfangled Hyundai Ioniq uses the same principals. The kickstarter was there just in case...

Boom, I'm here all week... Incidentally, another feature of the Siba Dynastart I forgot to mention was the facility to start the engine backwards to give as many reverse gears as forwards. The Dynastart was widely used in the Microcar world where motorbike engines of various makes needed to be adapted to car like features, but the reverse feature was only usable with two strokes, and in the UK at least, only owners who had the correct driving licence (ie a car one, not a motorbike one) could use it. And, I think you'll find, Ioniqs have a proper (DCT) gearbox with a genuine reverse gear. puddlethumper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Preston-Cobb (MD) had his own special invalid car with a Greeves racing engine, side mounted. It was a very fast machine and we regulary had to go and rescue Derry when he turned it over trying to corner too fast. When he had to give up this machine, he gave me the engine to fit in my Bond mini-car. The Bond went so fast it frightened me, because the brakes were not efficient enough to stop it quickly. The lorry and trailer carried four cars, two on the truck and two on the trailer. To load the lorry, I had to drive up the lowered trailer tailboard and fast up a steeper ramp onto the back of the truck. The first car was easy enough, but with the second one, I had to brake sharply after speeding up the ramp, so as not to smash into the first one. I had some great times there and still have freinds I worked with". Dave Price (Hedgehog) (2003) martc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, when my dad bought his first car, a Reliant Regal MkVI in about 1961, he only had a bike licence so had to take a further test so he could remove the blanking plate that stopped him using reverse on the Reliant. martc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somewhatfoolish Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I remember a barrel-shaped thing that could be knocked together with R4 bits that if you squinted and ignored the fact it was a tripod looked vaguely suggestive of late 50s GP cars; Hudson I think was the name. Perhaps this is related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
