Lotus Eleven? |

Nope, unless somebody decided to do some poorly executed cosmetic work on it in their shed.. looks strangely american with the additional headlights in the airintake In a weird way it reminds me of Arnolt-Bristols, with the vertical radiator grill flanked by large headlights framed together in an ovalish mouth |

It is green and RHD, though. Could this /vehicle_182871-unknown.html be the same car ? -- Last edit: 2008-07-03 21:11:43 |

ghehe, true.. hence the strangely... colour and driver position are off, but the design of the vehicle, I'd expect a British design to be lower both in terms of driver position and general shape of the tail. It just looks like a weird, almost homegrown... thing. Does it call anything in particular to mind?? As for are they the same, the design looks pretty similar. could well be the same make/model, whether it's the exact same car... that's another matter -- Last edit: 2008-07-03 21:50:01 |

I think it might be a Lotus VIII. Normally the VIII's rear wheels were covered, but the fins at the rear are very similar. |

the fins do fit that, but I do think the nose to chunky and messy.. still, only shot I could find even remotely resembling this car is a lotus ten (Mk10), though even that was sleeker, and the sides less rounded, not to mention the entire thing seemed to be build lower to the ground |

It's a Bristol 450C |

for a moment there I thought "he's got it" bhut no.. not a bristol 450C again, to rotund, and the front fenders come down way to far over the top of the wheels... not to mention grill and headlight configuration is significantly different |

Extra lights = night racing, so probably raced at Le Mans. Looks late 50s to me. |
