It's a Glas/Goggomobil/Buckle Dart, from Australia, circa 1959.
Nice, Jeff!! AC Invacar...amazing this ugly portapotty shared heritage with the Greyhound Coupe... OK, Let's do this game BACKWARDS. What's a 'haystack head', and why is it significant to this forum? Wayne, if you're out there, this one is for you. I don't have a scanned pic, but if nobody finds one, I'll pull mine from the archives. And since that is a biatsch of a question, here is a different question: Everyone else gets to ID the driver of this car + the car, and estimate top end with drag of horns Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yes, that looks like the car in the pic. Later model, but close...skirted fenders will help ID year, for bonus useless trivia points... Now...Who is the driver??? Very relevant. And, if anyone can explain why the guys in the background have dorky helmets on when the car is not fast enough to hurt you if it fell over, I'd like to know that too The Haystack is a different question.
Reviving this one for One I took picture of on the weekend Anyone wanna take a stab at this one Image Unavailable, Please Login
The bodywork style looks similar (side anyway) to the Zagato Alfa Romeo bodies worn on 6c and 8c's but the grill and size of the car looks wrong. I also like the Invicta suggestion but it would have to have a special body as that is not standard Invicta. Also the grill is not Bentley ... hmmm, no idea really Pete ps: It also is not a Squire as again the grill is wrong ... but the low body height makes me wonder.
British Edwardian. Builder ran out of money before its first race and then was Kinda renamed but the rename went on to be an Icon in British car industry till the demise of British Leyland.
Arh that explains the Alfa Zagato looking body, as the Dolomite was a copy of sorts of the 8c Alfa Romeo. Shameful that a company would copy so much ... IMO. Pete
Congrats Bob you win, One of those 3 lives here in Dallas in a pretty exceptional private collection.
Tailpipe wrong, but maybe a 1st series AM Int'l LeMans? Swiss plate, methinks, and the AM similar but no hx in Switzerland. Warm?
No not a Bentley. It never competed against them at Le Mans that I can find either The company was absorbed by another large British conglomerate in the fifties, which itself was taken over by Chrysler in the late 60's.
