Does the wheelbase happen to be 88" ?

Bottom wishbone looks like Triumph TR4-TR6 or Jaguar to me, as in forged with bolt on spring plate.

Can we have a closer pic of the front suspension and rack as well as the rear suspension to help ID parts.

Cheers
Kevin

Hi Well after nearly a month in this forum, I am no further ahead with info on this car,than I was 6 months ago
As I said in the beginning of my posts, that this car must be one of the very few that no one seems to have any info on . :confused: Graham

Being a one off with not much history will be most of the reason.

You are probably right markec,but I think the people with its origin, for what ever reason don't really want it known.I have been able to establish most of its history (eg) past owner's.I would just like to know who built it. Graham

Wherever it came from it's a lovely wee car. Really nice proportions I reckon. I really wanted it when it was on Trademe but for once had the good sense not to buy a project when another one was underway....

Yes Paul you are correct, the photo's don't do it justice ,and a lot of people say the same as yourself, just as a matter of interest I spent a lot of time in, and under your Lotus for many years, when Charlie had it .Graham

It's a shame it was stored the way it was. It will be interesting to see the state of the engine when it's checked out next week. Have you any idea when Charlie laid it up? From memory the most recent scrutineering sticker I can see is 1992 although he reckons he used it on the road for a while.
