dub Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 It's a Tatra MTX V8. Definitely the best looking Tatra to ever see light of day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick F40 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Tatra, i've heard of them, ugly things though, as good as a Yugo? Let's try another good one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eeyore Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 A Tatra! Never would have guessed. Well that's an easy one for me. It's a Holden LX Torana Hatchback, possibly an A9X race homologation model with that flare kit (obviously the wheels are late model, aftermarket) however it's very common for both the sedan and hatches to be 'mocked up' like this as L34-SLR5000's or A9X's. Interestingly these cars have enjoyed a significant increase in value in the last 5 years with genuine, factory-spec A9X cars (Only 405 A9X Toranas were produced and these consisted of 305 four-door sedans and 100 two-door hatches) hovering around the AUS$200000 mark. Race cars from the era (mid to late 70's) car fetch over $500000 depending on the driver and on track performance pedigree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eeyore Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Australian built, not by a major manufacturer. I beleive they could be ordered/built in kit form. 1960's era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick F40 Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Another hint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eeyore Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 There were 20 of these cars built by an Australian fibreglass company in the 1960's. Some were powered by Holden 6-cyl engines, some by Jaguar engines and probably a couple of others in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parktonplastic Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I can't think of it......we need more volunteers G'day Nick, from down Undah - The Mason-Dixon line, that is..... OK, I'll jump in - is this car an Elfin? Elvin? saw something that looked like it may have been a more current version last December on SpeedTV's coverage of Calssic Adelaide Road rally.

Eeyore Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 No it's not an Elfin. The name of the manufacturer consists of two initials - X & X - the name of the car is a noun used to describe "a person who searches for or seeks something"....

Eeyore Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Nice one! The car pictured is a 1962 model. There was a big fibreglass/kit sports car scene here in the 50's and 60's but not a great deal of these cars have survived over the years.

Nick F40 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Oh that's cool. Hunter, I can see that now. Neat liitle car, seems like it was a cool scene with all of them. It kind of looks like a TVR... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
