Aye, and you're right about the Triumph Herald doors! The Equipe was based on Herald or Spitfire running gear, Herald doors, glass and scuttle. They also produced a straight 6 Vitesse version. My brother had one back in '76. He toured the whole of Europe in it (the fool)! <_<

I'm guessing it's a Humber of some kind. It has Humber Sceptre lights, grill and screen.

Oh that would be perfect. Humber never occured to me which is odd considering that this sits on my tower.

nope, seriously guys I didn't think this one was going to be that hard. It's not a Humber, and it's not Russian. It was a production car and not a prototype of any kind. It does have a little hint in the body of the car the company is most well known for.

Sam, yep, I'm a limey. Can't think of the American equivalent for 'scuttle'! It's the front firewall/bulkhead but usually termed this when the car is a roadster eg. the firewall and screen surround is one unit. 'Scuttle shake' is a term used for a condition when a bad handling, flexible chassis allows the firewall and screen to twist and vibrate in relationship to the rest of the car. Do you have a similar name for this?

Ahah...just found this:

Yas GreggK, that's tha Mecom Hussein 1 - tha Fuel injection racer, care ta take a guess as to who tha Driver is? Ahh over on this side o' tha pond, ifn IRC, a scuttle has something to do with coal....I think it's what they used to call that wee bucket that they used to keep spare coal chunks in.

Now how 'bout my Touring UDO?

Ahoy, Duffer!

That would be called a "cowl" over here. I swear, you guys have a different word for everything, like it's a whole 'nother country or somethin'.

Zeb's head must be getting bigger by the hour. I have tons and tons of reference material and I am sure I could find it but I don't have time. There were actually hundreds of different auto manufactureers during the teens operating at any one time.

Come on Zeb! Spill.

I concur, there are literally dozens upon dozens of coachbuilders in the 10's and 20's and many of them look very similar.

Anyone who was a horse and carriage builder just started to build coach works for whatever chassis the could get there hands on just to try and stay in business.

it looks a little like a McLaughlin, Paige and a Zeber 2.0; I am sure it's some sort of esoteric car.

we car strike Nicks off the list. Yeah, but they were not the only ones who tried.

a nameless Cosworth 4WD F1 car, but dubbed the ugliest car in F1.
