samdiego Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) is it the red firehose thing? I guess the guys in Coventry could make anything fast. The little roadster in my post does have that british look. The maker was an arch-rival of MG on the track a few decades earlier. Edited May 15, 2008 by samdiego
CAL Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Try this on for size. a one off kit car an a triunph spitfire chassis. nobody is close on the red roadster, hint: only 6 made. powered by ubiquitous 1100 coventry-climax. You're warm, but it's not based off a Spitfire chassis and it's not a one off.
CAL Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) Okay the red thing is a Kieft Sport, and it's British. Edited May 15, 2008 by CAL
Guest zebm1 Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Cal, that looks a lot like one of the last Opel GTs, tha rear end has those GM style tailights.
CAL Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 or it could be a '55 Kieft 1100 Speedster Same thing I think, I am not sure Kieft had specific designations. It's the car that ran in the small displacement class at LeMans and 12hrs of Sebring 1955.
CAL Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Cal, that looks a lot like one of the last Opel GTs, tha rear end has those GM style tailights. It's not GM, but is powered by a SBC.
CAL Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Tha last Cheetah? Not a cheetah either, it's no big cats.
Nick F40 Posted May 15, 2008 Author Posted May 15, 2008 Okay the red thing is a Kieft Sport, and it's British. ahhhh The MG look alike and the kit car, how can you even tell if it was a Spitfire chassis? and mine's still up!!
Guest zebm1 Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) OK Cal....how about a Datsun 240/260 kustomized....... there's a guy down in Tampatown put a SBC with a GMC 4-71 or was it a 6-71 supercharger, Dana 60 rear axle and wheelie bars.......wicked little Datsun 260........he owns Z-Docs. Oh...and my 3rd racecar is still up also....... Edited May 16, 2008 by zebm1
samdiego Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) NickF40, I forgot about that one. Is it a Skoda? Is the last race car an Essex? Like a '30? Edited May 16, 2008 by samdiego

Oh...and my 3rd racecar is still up also....... Yeah, no. Not even close.
dub Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 I think Nick's is a Vauxhall. It kinda looks like an Opel GT but it's RHD.... Vauxhalls are supposed to be the RHD Opels. It's really a guess.... I haven't a clue.
CAL Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 ahhhh The MG look alike and the kit car, how can you even tell if it was a Spitfire chassis? and mine's still up!! The wedgie one?
dub Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 You know.... Looking at that badge, I think it looks like a Lotus. Maybe a prototype........

CAL Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) You know.... Looking at that badge, I think it looks like a Lotus. Maybe a prototype........ The shape of the Lotus badge is upside down compared to this one. So it's not a Lotus, I think Nick also confirmed that. Edited May 16, 2008 by CAL
samdiego Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) Skoda Fabia? Edited May 16, 2008 by samdiego

It's really a guess.... I haven't a clue. No Dub, no Vauxhall and Opel for you! and I didn't know about the Vauxhall being the RHD Opels. The wedgie was the Clan! You know.... Looking at that badge, I think it looks like a Lotus. Maybe a prototype........ YES, the one clue, it is a prototype name='CAL' date='May 15 2008, 05:20 PM' post='92441'] I think the Fabia is a late model mini van. it is hatchback kinda

CAL Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 The closest thing I could even come up with that looked even in the realm of the wedgie was a Sabb Sonett, of which there are a number of prototypes, but I haven't a clue.
samdiego Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 OK, tell me what the wedgie thing is (we called 'em melvins when I was a kid) and I'll tell you what the TD lookalike is.
