Brendan Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 This one might be a little harder. Name/make of car. Manufacturer of the motor.

Jon Cole Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Nick F40 said: Not sure on that one but, Tell me make, model, year, who made it, engine, and what it competed in........................ Ford Escort Mk 1, Twin Cam, probably around 1968 to 1970, rally/historic racing series
CAL Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) Likely a Euro Ford Escort Mk. 1 RS2000 then I guess it could be an 1800 or 1600 though. Edited March 23, 2008 by CAL

Modelmartin Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 harrypri said: well, since the name of each image is GAZ, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Gaz??? 1920s era. Henry Ford set up a plant for the Russians. Only problem being that GAZ (Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod) started production in 29 with Model As and the car in question looks more 27 T like in some details (Body) and Model A (Fenders) in others. I would have to say that it is a 29 GAZ.
lordairgtar Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 GAZ was started in 32, so yes, the plant produced 1929 or 30 type clones of the A. They also did a clone of the 33 and 34 Ford but had slightly redesigned the grille with a vertical bar in the middle. After that, they started making their own designs.
CAL Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 ahhh that's what was throwing me off. It sure looked like a ford badge on the rad, but it looked a little different than a 26 Ford. So I thought it might have been a specail Ford, didn't think of a Euro copy.
Brendan Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 CAL said: ok another? It looks like a Radical with a motorcycle motor. But I'm probably wrong.
CAL Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Brendan said: It looks like a Radical with a motorcycle motor. But I'm probably wrong. Not exactly, the engine concept was used in a motorcycle, but it's powered by a Mazda 13B Renesis. It's not a Radical.
Jon Cole Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 OK, usually I throw out a photo and see if you can guess what it is. In this case, I have no idea what it is! Anyone?
Nick F40 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Posted March 24, 2008 Gotta love rotories!

BUT who made/raced it!

Wow, could be some kind of home built British thing. I do know what the tank is behind the drivers seat. It's a coal gas generator to produce gas to operate the engine. Common during WWII when petrol was scarce or rationed.
