Have you ever heard about the car that had a "wooden" frame?

[Harry P.]

It is awesome

Yeah, because there's nothing flammable or explosive under the hood, right???

my 1954 MG TF had all wooden body framing under the metal skin. oak i believe. many british and european cars were built that way...literally coach built.

I should've twigged that there'd be jokes amongst this thread. You guys had me floored when I read them!

Apparently, back in the day when the timber framed cars were competing in hill climbs and other various motor sport events, the all steel cars only sawdust when the English cars went past them...

But wooden it be nice to own one now, to restore it back to its original condition. You could really spruce it up.....

Sorry for that, I just had to type it!

What about the Marcos GT? It was a 1960's British sports/race car with a plywood monocoque chassis.
