Guess the car

Hmm... the only plywood car I can recall was the 70's Hustler kit car, but it doesn't look like one of those though... looks more like a Kubelwagen with those arches. That's got me well and truly stumped at the moment... :scratchhead:

Good find Ewazix!

The project had big ideas but left a financial mess!

I think the same thing could be said of the Argyll, the Monica, and a good proportion of the cars that have thus far ended up on this topic! Seems to happen a lot :(

Anyway, I'm still no closer to guessing. 80s you say?

Designed for Africa, in Lancaster of all places......

A-ha! That pic is of one of the prototype Africars... Wouldn't have got it without sizeable hint!

Good one!

Ausi kit car :wink: Bolwell

Try a real oddball, it seemed clever and I actually wanted one at the time for some odd reason, the story was a bit like De Lorean but the story was a lot more interesting than the car!

I should have turned my old 2CV into one of these. It's an Africar I believe

Both correct - Africar :thumbsup: I don't know why but I liked the idea of this model at the time, but the SFO didn't like the financial model :lol:

Christ, I think I had one LSN 360F but can't remember the name :headbang: Singer chamois? Hillman Imp California, Sunbeam Stiletto something like that - I do remember the head gasket repairs though!

That's a Datsun Skyline, the precursor to the fearsome Nissan GTR's

It is indeed... how about this one?

Looks like a Lamborghini Espada although I don't remember it having such a hideous front bumper. USA spec?

Too many doors..., but it is a US-spec bumper... :thumbsup:
