mr_pushrod Messages 1,803 Messages mr_pushrod Feb 22, 2004 #1,203 I'm guessing European, probably 60's? The angular lines and wire wheels make a real strange combination.

Axe_Gaijin Messages 326 Limburg Feb 22, 2004 #1,206 Something about that car looks familiar, but I can't put my finger on it... It's like trying to remeber a dream.

Dave A TreVoR fan for life Moderator Messages 30,484 Cuddington, Cheshire Messages JDA1982 Feb 22, 2004 #1,212 Intermeccanica Indra, not sure if it's a British made car but it looks quite close.

911_Carrera Messages 5,753 Feb 23, 2004 #1,214 Well done live4speed! But you're wrong. I don't think the Indra was British.
Dave A TreVoR fan for life Moderator Messages 30,484 Cuddington, Cheshire Messages JDA1982 Feb 23, 2004 #1,215 The Indra has a couple more curves to it than the car in your pic.
Axe_Gaijin Messages 326 Limburg Feb 23, 2004 #1,216 Is it a stand alone? or based on an other car? The shape of the bonnet has that TR7/8 Wedge look. Altough the wheelbase doesn't seem to match.

911_Carrera Messages 5,753 Feb 23, 2004 #1,218 Interesting... I thought it was absolutely an original but when I checked it turned out to be based on a famous sports car's chassis. Manufacturer of this car still exists though the maker of the chassis doesn't.

Axe_Gaijin Messages 326 Limburg Feb 23, 2004 #1,221 Also looks a bit like a TVR Tasmin S1, but that was made in the 80s not the 60s
Cano Premium Messages 20,759 Cephiro Feb 23, 2004 #1,222 is it a marcos?? nah. once again, I suck Cano a Reliant could be, too. something seems familiar about the car, specially the chrome stripes in the side.

911_Carrera Messages 5,753 Feb 23, 2004 #1,227 Axe was strangely close a couple of posts ago. Definitely 60s not 80s.
Dave A TreVoR fan for life Moderator Messages 30,484 Cuddington, Cheshire Messages JDA1982 Feb 23, 2004 #1,228 Scimitar GTE, made in 1969 or is it the special edition Ogle Scimitar which I can't find any useful pics of.

bengee Messages 2,987 Feb 24, 2004 #1,229 I think 911 is referring to tvr... so i am assuming that it is built off a TVR base... probably off a tasmin or vixen... the vixen s3/s4 series profile fits best... so if its late 60's it might work as a platform for this car...

Famine GTP Editor, GTPEDIA Author Administrator Messages 92,463 Rule 12 Messages GTP_Famine Feb 24, 2004 #1,230 Actually, the back looks VERY like the TVR Taimar... But that was built in 1972 and the front wing is different...
