Jay Wolf Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 I found another set of body clips on the frame so it may not be the original body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rniez Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 At first glance, I thought Bobsy Vega or Vanguard. But on second look, the chassis looks homebuilt. The side rails look a lot like an early Autodynamics but everything else looks home-made. It is actually very flimsy looking, especially in the front. The fuel tank setup is odd also, as except for the early Formcars most vees have the tank under the seat. The body does look like it is Autodymanics, but later, either a MkIV or MkV. The exhaust setup is bizarre for a vee, definately keeps the driver warm.I have a complete set of Vee Line magazines in my collection. I'll look through them this weekend and see if there is anything there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rniez Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 AutodynamicsFVI forgot to add this link. I think this is the same body with the nose cut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Looks pretty early or homebuilt. By 1973 just about all FVs had gone to zero rear roll stiffness and I do not see the linkage here. The reason was to load the front tires as early as possible, early Vees suffered greatly from unladen understeer.As to cooling, FV required stock parts in many places to keep costs down. To get a few more HP to the rear wheels, the fan belt was often left quite loose. For many the cost of an engine was low enough that winning was worth overheating.
