kar3516 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Ok that’s cool. But appears to be a monstrous project 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bloom Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 These things are super cool! I’ve seen a couple of them that were high-quality restorations and they would be a blast to own. Not sure about this project but they don’t come around often so if you want one, this is probably worth checking out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Very cool but basically a heavy aluminum over wood body frame on a fairly heavy (for type of car) frame without the power to move it along. I love the look but the TR cars were just so much more agile. If I ever managed to get in the "dickey seat" I would likely be screwed and need to be professionally extracted...😁 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bloom Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 They have a "quirkey look", kind of like a few others where the designer didn't feel any need to be constrained to what is normal (think Triumph Stag, Jensen Healey, Citroen, Avanti, ......) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I think these were the last cars with rumble seat/dickey seat. Love the flip up windshield for the rumble seat. I believe they have a non-standard shift pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I look at this, I see that Horns on the Bumper is definitely the move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1912Staver Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Big project. But at that price it is very tempting. Not a lot of power or speed. But you could always pair it with a TR 3 for the days you needed a bit more performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
