G'day, Cobbers;
I'm sure most here will recognise the corner, that no longer exists. |

Kyle, you can make some slight improvements to the quality of your old pictures using some programmes. I hope you don't mind me re-posting this great snap again as I try to identify the official.
Kind regards, Baub. |

Bauble those pictures are fascinating. Not just for the engines but for the engineering...I presume that's a wing mount coming off the roll hoop in the last picture. I also presume it wouldn't have lasted long, it's barely strong enough to hold itself in place
 But what on EARTH are those two belt-driven drums coming off the back of the car in the fourth picture? Brakes? EDIT no, not brakes, there are clearly calipers in the wheels. Fascinating Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |

Wait, I see it now. It's a Variomatic gearbox of some kind. Good grief!

Variomatic was in use in several cars, Huron and Chevron come up to my mind. I seem to remember a Chevon has been rebuilt by Simon H, probably standing in a museum atm. Fascinating, definitely!
Oops, was a Huron not a Chevron. Sorry. |

The Huron (Daf Variomatic) is a beautiful car.... Gerry we once discussed it in emails IIRC.

Oui, Chris, je me souviens parfaitement de nos échanges au sujet des Huron. Never heard about a Tecno Daf though. Why the name of Chevron came up together with Huron, I dunno… Age, virus or what?

So RBS, please, what is the strange single cylinder engine with a chain driven overhead camshaft? Must be in a F3 but which brand?

Same Connaught as in Bob's last pic, if David McKinney's history is correct, at Weston-super-Mare sprint, very early 60s. Alan Bateman in the cockpit I believe.

The Maserati is correct, the Fiat is Mephistofoles, and the Vee Twin is from GN Spider and is 1500cc.
