barrett Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Remember this? Well, it looks like this from behind! Much better looking from that angle, eh? And those seem to be 204 tailights too... thoguht you might be interested!
Mash Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I'd say Hillman Minx lights TBH - I'm sure Pog will confirm.
barrett Posted July 23, 2010 Author Posted July 23, 2010 Good call, I think you might be right. Although I think Super Minx rather than Minx...?
Mash Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Yes, though I believe the Series V and VI also had these and the later Alpines. Parts bin favourte that found it's way onto Bristols and the like too!
michiel Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Nice find! Embarassingly I don't remember what it is...
STUNO Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Doors and windscreen are Herald/Vitesse the name seems to be Scorpion so I hope it is Vitesse based.
Albert Ross Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 65-on Superminx lamps, identifiable by the orange section. Early ones could have been all red..!
barrett Posted July 25, 2010 Author Posted July 25, 2010 It's the Chris Humberstone designed Scorpion Sovereign, based on a Vitesse. He actually showed this to Bond as a proposed replacement for the GT4S, they declined and he was furious when a year or so later the very similar looking Equipe 2-litre was launched! He offered these for sale but it's unlikely any more than this one was built.I thought it was you Michiel that was looking for info on this a while back (on a now-deleted mystery car type thread), but it may have been Carlo...?
