I was thinking Rochdale Olympic

I think that is a good shout, defo not an early TVR as the M's, Griff's and Grantura's had one pce bonnets.

I reckon Rochdale too, also out of shot behind the van is a Froggy Sprite and a Midget, the yellow car was a mystery to me too and i forgot to get a picture of the front.

Superb stuff! A particularly brilliant blend of madness - I want it. Thanks for the link.

There was one in the 1993 London to Sydney Marathon. I remember seeing its brakes on fire on a stage in Belgium!

MG A in a sorry state

I had 10 seconds to take these pictures as it was in a restricted area in famagusta cyprus and didn't fancy getting shot!!!!!

You're only supposed...

Its nothing like a MGA

Going by the Triumph engine, I'd say that was an RMB Gentry kit car

If you read previous posts someone has correctly identified what car it is/was!!!

I was only guessing not my era had an MG badge on the back and 10 second to photograph what's left

From nearest the camera, Inverted Elan chassis under tarp, Elan DHC + FHC under one tarp, Elan S2, A40, Rochdale Olympic, R5, McGovern/Bevan Imp and M100 Elan - not sure what the yellow boot belongs to though.

That's a great effort. I think you've seen a couple I didn't even notice.

I was wondering about the Imp shaped one and I have no idea about the yellow one. But I reckon it would normally have a bumper to help ID.

Is it a 1990's Griffith?

I think you'd see the light clusters from that angle. Also, it seems a bit more angular.

Here's one of the other side

Interesting collection. Ginetta and a Matra I think. I'm looking at the reflection of the yellow car in the window and it's really got me foxed. Does it have a removable hardtop?

[52classic]

Mystery yellow car...... Lotus Elite perhaps?

I'm seeing 2 Ginettas - a G26 in white, & a G32 in red? He likes his Ford based specials, doesn't he? (Or she, of course...)

[dryden]

The yellow one certainly appears to be the mythical Climax engined Elite.............with no rear bumper. WOW !
