Picture Puzzles

[bauble]

I thought similar and looked at pictures, but discounted that thought for the lack of the small tail fin and wide rear end of the ex Birkin car, which also had a small but pronounced streamlined hump behind the driver.

Thus wrote EB a short while ago, and added to Gerard's observation, could help with solving the puzzle. C',mom Babes, you can do it.

And it was not found in a barn at Ostereichring either.

Sorry RB but I just can't stand to see dumb animals suffer.

Colour maybe?
Its a Wolf in sheep's clothing. It, erm, has an air of something special though.

In it's pre war guize it was one of the fastest carst cars to lap Brooklands, this body was used in the 50's and the single form was re used in the 60's. It is currently a light Blue colour.

Well done Will, did you crack the code or was it sheer genius?

I would like to claim sheer genius, but the reality is I followed the crumb trail that those of superior knowledge were leaving!

So the car is the Barnato Hassan Special, the body pictured was installed post war and was raced in the early 50's by Gerry Crozier. When the car reappeared in the late 60's in Keith Schellenbergs hands it had the single seat body on it. It is now owned by David Ayre and in its blue colour scheme it has raced recently.

Crumbs, Will? They were loaves of bread.

Sliced and buttered.

Time for another "oldie", what have we got here?

[Gerard C]

Cooper Jap?

[rbs]

No.

[crmalcolm]

Is it a Kieft?

[356sc]

Arnott?

[rbs]

Excellent Will, where did you get that from?

[356sc]

Given that the others had gone for the Cooper and the Kieft , that was the only other one I knew!!!!

[Gerard C]

! I dont think the others were using alloy wheels, those ones look like Cosmic design.

Im with Will.... I think it is an Arnott.... I think the Elektron wheels that look like the ones on the car pictured were exclusive to Arnott. Was it driven by John (Father of Tony) Brise? I know he raced one. Or Gerald Smith.

Edit: Just seen the answer has been given already.

The easy way was to Google 500cc Racing cars.
