What is it?



The guy drove it to this evening pub meet.

Not exactly a comfy ride.

But surely not today? DVLA says 9647X9 is an invalid number. I know the car is zero road tax but can you drive it legally with that number showing.

It's Ivan Dutton's 1914 Peugeot Grand Prix re-creation. The engine, however, is a 10 litre Hall-Scott A7A.

Thanks for the info Roy, so it’s not an original Peugeot model.

Ivan is an absolute legend, still not gotten over not managing to be top-bidder on his Alvis 'Grey Lady' racer when that went through auction years ago

Ivan is still "tinkering".

His old YouTube channel, Ivan's Shed

His new YouTube channel, Shed Racing

He used to live about 8 houses down from my Grandparents until the family all moved out to the farm about 40-45 years ago. Back when I was a yoof, I can remember his Capri racer used to sit on a car trailer in the front garden/driveway.

What a great car that must be to drive. There is also another interesting car in the background of the first image, any ideas?

Thanks, curiosity quenched. If that’s the calibre of cars that show up - WoW.

For those of you who don't know about the 6 Bells classic car meet, its well worth the trip ( weather permitting) the lovely old pub has a BBQ, real ale, and there is plenty of parking for your pride and joy.
