Having just spent some time trawling through a list of projects listed on the W&P site - I can find nothing that looks or sounds remotely like our car ...

Thanks for trying --

Thanks for your continuing efforts to solve this mystery. I'm amazed it's still unsolved considering the worldwide attention.

So you’re using CAD to make a 3D model on screen of the car?

Yes. Combination of picture, 3D scanning of original parts and CAD. Obviously (hopefully) there are some parts that are not visible and therefore resulting model will always have areas that are conjecture.

Amazing - good luck..

Curious but interesting - thanks..

I'm so impressed with your work. Well done.

Just incredible work - you're a credit to all car nerds!

I concur. My gob is suitably smacked....

Folks, this obviously ISN'T the car, so apologies for the slight hijack - but since we've all been looking at 1960s specials (many with gullwing doors) for nearly three years now, I'm hoping someone can ID the car below within minutes.

Anyone?

Great find!

Aw bks. I stumbled across this pic and thought, honestly, I had solved it. I then spent ages to find this thread, log in, and .... it's not even close. The Ashley connection looks strong, though.

Well thanks for trying!

Thanks for the info.

Anyone who has thoroughly read and enjoyed this thread has at least become a relative expert in British and European low-volume car manufacture, 1958–1964.

Yes I agree, some interesting details regarding low volume cars.

Nothing in this photo gallery of Australian specials is close to a match, but the odd feature might inspire someone or trigger a memory to a connected car:

We need to find something solid - if we can find registration documents, or talk to the author, then just maybe we'll get some answers. Or maybe it's still tucked in a garage or barn somewhere........

Still, the work you have done is very impressive and advances the case.

Yes, agreed. Excellent work Borrani..

[threespires]

Amazing!

[threespires]

Thanks everybody for your inputs. Amazing work.

I think that's unduly pessimistic. A friend and I are researching the history of someone who rallied in the period 1955-1970; we are now in contact with the ralllier's grandson who has unearthed a cache of period photos which would otherwise probably have been left in a box in an attic for another half-century.

Tell me more! What cars & events did this person compete in?
