Correct!

One last pic, our Rob won an award for best young enthusiast which given the amount of detail work he's been doing to the Imp was well deserved.
He was up against some stiff competition though with another youngster in a mk1 fiesta supersport. Good to see it's not all us old fogies

Well done Rob . Great result and yes it’s brilliant to see youngsters getting enthusiastic about old cars.

Could not agree more.
Well done.

Great stuff. Well done and good to see that they have such an award.

You have taught him well, but then also he must be together to take the advice. Good on him.

With the lovely hexagonal gauges. Never know difference between ZA/ZB tho'

I did the basis of the car, he's the one that's done all the detail work that got him the award, proud of him

He also got a nice mention from the club chairman John Simpson which was nice.

Guy there from practical classics magazine taking snaps and doing the prize-giving, will have to look out for the magazine. Might even get my car in it!

Make and model anyone ?
Ok so I know it’s not the best picture so here’s few clues . It’s open topped British and has a tubular spaceframe chassis. This example had unpainted coachwork

Lotus 7

Oh Keith your soooo Close

A Cateram 7

Is the photo of the cycle fender?

It’s Not a Caterham . I’d say it’s more of an industrial vehicle.

Surely the cycle fender only came on the early 7 Keith?

No idea mate, just having a crack at the challenge.
I am not as genned up as some of you guys.

Ok here goes It’s my new Chillington classic wheelbarrow
Galvanised coachwork and spaceframe Chassis, with a useful 120 litre load carrying capacity.

Oh , of course it is. I can see where I went wrong now.
Thats the "big capacity" one with central steering.
A fine machine and future classic.

I can tell you Keith it’s one sweeet riiide it’s even got then pneumatic tyre option

ah ! self level suspension as well. Nice.

Ok here goes
1)Fiat topolino ?
2) these look familiar but can’t. Quite place them.
3 Toyota Celica supra (mid 80s)
4) 65ish Chevrolet Corvair.
5). Ford E-Series van (available as pick ups and mini busses etc) I believe the Scooby Doo mystery machine was based on a Ford E-series.

I am with Lou on the Toyota, is it the 2.8 L model (before they dropped the Celica name for the Supra)
Vents look like a Ferrari 330 GTE or maybe 275GTS ?
Corvair and Ford Econoline but I dont know the years.

Speedy peeps. You got them all between you. You like the 330 Keith?

They got rare because some of them have been used as donor cars to make recreation 250 SWB and GTO's.

You can see why I thought also a 275 GTS.

3 more.

2nd one is a Jensen S-V8
3rd is a Citroen Ami 6
Stuck on the 1st one it’s got Suicide doors and what look like Imp hubcaps ?

Thought that was the tricky one Lou?

Can't make up my mind if it is ugly or not. Had never seen one before.

It's a no from me Tony, unless I could sell the plate to someone we all know. It looks like a Ford Ka.

Is the first one of those Micra based cars we never officially got here like the Figaro, and the last looks a bit '80's TVR wedge like.

Close enough Lou - Ami 8.

Extra clue to the missing one...........it's parked next to the Ami.

auto union ?
