OK, I know you like numbers.
If I tell you 33/37, 44/52 and 6/177 the answer is… Yes its weird as should here, no I'm not drunk! Well not yet, curfew will start within one hour… |

No idea, Gerard, except the first two are recurring fractions.

Very good attempt, congrats. But you must think cars, rallye, bonnet and doors.

Hey les Anglais, we're talking about a piece of your history here, as famous as bus Ã* l'impériale, Madame Tussaud, Horse Guards or Buckingham gardens!
The color is tartan. Need first names? Try with John and George… The answer is not Renault Dauphine but… |

And what a great history it is too, long may it continue. Come on people, the answer is there somewhere. Although I’m struggling to work out the puzzle too

Clearly it seems to me we are talking 'Princes' (Dauphine)
No good on rallies though. |

Now it makes sense, good call there, it’s always interesting when we have a bit of royalty in racing. Some have been better than others.

C'on EB, wake up! Tartan red cars, very famous. Numbers refer to doors and bonnets. John who and George who? What kind of google are you using down there??
When EB or RB will find the answer, you'll know about the Dauphine reference. I must admit this one is tricky… Chris tu as essayé de rechercher sur les deux premiers nombres ou au moins le premier? C'est vraiment une partie du sport automobile mondial made in GB… Last edited by Gerard C; 26 Oct 2020 at 10:59. |

I find Will answer as a good one. The reference was Minis Cooper at Monte Carlo rallye. First number on the bonnet, registration, second on the doors rallye number.
The John in question was Cooper of course and George Harriman. Why a Dauphine then? Because Cooper tried to put a Coventry Climax engine but the handling was rated as poor. May be someone has a picture from a Dauphine with a Climax engine? |

Works registration Minis make huge amounts of money now .
The trouble is , even in period , the same registration might have been on several different cars . I remember reading about someone here who rebuilt a Mini on an original works number and sold it to a collector in Japan , [ the Japanese are very keen on Minis ]. To be driven there they have to have a local registration , so he either kept the number , or bought it back from the DVLA . He then built another replica & sold that to someone in Japan, for a lot of money . He did it again with a third one . Then in a car meeting in Japan , 2 of the owners met & each claimed to have the original car which led to a court case , [ here I believe ], where he got a prison sentence . |

EB, tu te ramollis du cerveau une fois l'été arrivé! J'espère que tu m'accorderas que c'était une foutue bonne question comme on dit dans le Périgord!

Not so much my brain has gone soft in the sun or in lockdown, but the question was way too intelligent for a mere stupido from upside down land as I.
