Alan...
I get the impression this was a car you designed in the past, and that you are trying to find out if any exist of if we know of it....is that way obvious or am i way out....whatever, i have no idea.

Steve,

I'm really testing the memory of anyone who is old enough to remember back to the mid-eighties.
I did do some design work on it, but mostly building and developing the prototypes. I wll eventually reveal what it is/was. It's almost certainly unknown to most of the current generation of builders.
I was interested in Locodudes comments about returns, as I thought they were uncommon on cycle type arches.
Still, if nothing else it provokes some debate

Alan,

I'm not sure but isn't that a Mk3/4 Cortina based "SVC Spectre"?

Cheers

Chris





Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Hi Alan,

Was this vehicle a proto Magic? At least, I think that was its brand name. Slightly wider, and more bulbous than a Melos.

In which kit-car mag was the analysis feature?
