Hot Rods Hot Rod Sports Cars

What kind of car is that with left hand steering? Is it foreign?

Pat

 

It looks like a Devin body so I am not sure why it is RHD except for the fact that it may be a re body of a British sports car with a V8 swap

Don't know but that was in Texas not not flopped as the lettering is correct

 

The body and chassis are hangin in the rafters in two different shops, and the motor is ready for assembly here at the house. LOL

On the back burner for a while now. Life has managed to get in the way once again.
Damn the luck.

Here's a Hemmings ad for an MGTD gasser

and then this for sale, for those looking for a faster way to kill yourself.

 

These last three are great photos.

 

Art Ward and Roger Guzman's Assassination MG at the US Nationals. Evidently early in its second life before the rest of the lettering (including the name) was added. The first version was red and appeared to have the complete front end (including wheels) from an early Anglia as seen right here on the HAMB https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/assassination-mg-a.552928/#post-12000019

I thought that also Roo but wasn't sure, thanks.

Allard....big Ford or Cadillac V8....

 

Pre-war Brough Superior....big American V8...

 

331 Cad powered Allard in action Swiss hill climb

 

Boy that looked like fun. Makes me want to own a car that does something other than go in a straight line-especially an obnoxious American V8 with open exhaust.

 

Yeah Jim,but what would that be?

 

Rod the list would be more than a few but the ones that come to mind right away are an early 50s Cunningham (with a Cad or a Hemi) and then for a "newer" model, a Lister Chevrolet. The reality of the situation though may be that I would have to settle on something I may have to cobble together from my inventory of cast off "parts" like this chassis I saved and this body I have saved halfway. Now I just need to finish all sorts of other stuff first. The video does act as a form of temptation though.

 

Looks like it could be a fun one. We'll need a build thread when you get to working on it.

 

Bob Ida's Hemi Healy early in its life.
