jcb ◊ 2014-02-12 13:04	Not one of the more common British sports cars .
chris40 ◊ 2014-02-12 15:11	Probably a fibreglass DIY job with Austin Seven wheels and likely a Ford 1172cc engine. Looks like an early Rochdale.
dsl ◊ 2014-02-12 15:53	Not sure about this one yet. Best guess at the moment is something like Ashley (along the lines of http://www.ashleysportiva.zoomshare.com/3.html ) or a body from people like Abbotts of Farnham. Could be eg Ford Consul based for size as well as the usual Ford Pop oily bits. Not a Peerless or Warwick which had straight wing lines.
Turbobanana ◊ 2014-02-12 16:47	Front bumper looks like that used on the Swallow Doretti (admittedly without overriders) but the grille and windscreen are different.

dsl ◊ 2014-02-12 18:37	Not a Doretti, and no obvious Allard match (although Palm Beach gets close). Interesting curved screen - where did that come from - Cresta PA??? And stumbled across this reference - http://www.fordspecial.webspace.virginmedia.com/index.html - I don't think it helps here, but is fascinating. -- Last edit: 2014-02-12 18:49:24
zodiac ◊ 2014-02-12 21:26	It has the rear end very similar to the Swallow Doretti http://slatford.co.uk/Car%20Pictures%20Pages/Doretti.htm , and another car quite similar (concerning the front) is the 1958 Allard Grand Turismo http://www.carsaddiction.com/files/cars/57__Gran_Turismo.jpg . -- Last edit: 2014-02-12 21:27:34
jcb ◊ 2014-02-12 23:48	Some similarities to a Fraser Nash Sebring , but not enough ! Link to "slatford.co.uk" -- Last edit: 2014-02-12 23:49:16
sTwo ◊ 2014-02-13 17:51	It looks like those Glasspars or Woodills, by which I mean it looks like too many fiberglass cars. If the chassis is British, then what is it? MG? Jaguar? -- Last edit: 2014-02-13 18:02:22
zodiac ◊ 2014-03-22 15:04	More and more, I believe this is based on a Triumph.
dsl ◊ 2014-08-23 02:38	I keep coming back to this and thinking it must be IDable, but get nowhere. I still think the windscreen is distinctive enough for someone to recognise it ....
Marcucco ◊ 2015-03-06 02:12	I think sTwo nailed it with the Woodill guess. They were available as kits as well as factory production models, There's an unbelievable amount of variants for a limited production body. Google Image search: Woodill Wildfire. (Sorry i couldn't create a link)
dsl ◊ 2015-03-06 02:41	I've never seen a reference to Woodills being sold in UK. Nor a Woodill picture with a windscreen like this. Sadly, I think it has to stay unknown, but it's still bugging me ....
jcb ◊ 2017-04-27 14:05	Windscreen similar to Peel P1000 , body not identical but were there other versions of the Peel P1000 ?- http://www.peelcars.com/p-1000/4585563614 -- Last edit: 2017-04-27 14:39:55
dsl ◊ 2017-04-27 22:35	I think that's the best suggestion so far. Shape looks right, and I can believe things like grille, side trim and wheels were variable. Found a book one-liner that 150-ish made 1956-58, no picture.
Sunbar ◊ 2017-05-03 15:41	The only possible connection I can find is that the Cheetah from Watford Sports Cars Ltd looks to use the same wrap-round screen (possibly from the rear screen of an Audax Rapier/Minx?). http://www.fairthorpescc.com/fscc_watford.html http://www.fordspecials.co.uk/cheetah.html
jcb ◊ 2017-05-10 12:39	That is also a good match .
jcb ◊ 2021-12-26 11:08	Markham-Peaseys have some similarities but no exact match.
