Let's Talk Cyclecars

Rubber band front suspension! Shades of the (miserable) Harley 125cc of 1948.

But where are the rear spring(s) hidden?

I want one of these, anyone know who holds the dealership?

 

Not exactly in the "cyclecar" realm when it is considerably larger than an Aston Martin

True...but quite elegant.

 

I am at the point in my project where I am debating how to attach the inboard end of the quarter elliptical springs. These images will help immensely, thank you for sharing them.

The turning on the hood top and side of the boat-tail look absolutely perfect!

 

Kume,after more than 9+ years,322 pages,9,644 replies,AND more than 1.5 MILLION views how could we not have any repeat posts?I think it is great when someone shares what has touched them...even if it might have been posted previously.

 

Kume,I love this one! I don't think the gent had any intentions of doing any repairs when he left the house. I also think the only reason he is fixing the car there is that is because that car happens to be his ride home! he is wearing what I consider nice clothes. A shirt with French Cuffs, a nice sweater,not work shoes(well,maybe if you're a banker),and quality driving gloves.

Was this a bolster brothers creation?

No, this was built by the Glegg brothers, Gordon and Donald. We saw a picture of Dorcas II about 30 pages back.
Here's what the BSA FWD Club had to say about Dorcas I:
"Dorcas I was an Austin based special, which has no great claim to fame, except for an incident at a hill-climb at Chalfont, where Gordon posted a friend on a corner with his camera, with instructions to secure a good action picture, On approaching this corner, our hero found that his throttle would not shut, so baled out before the inevitable accident.
The trusting friend was run over a hundredth of a second after he had clicked the shutter; happily they both came out, that is to say the photograph came out of the camera, and the friend eventually came out of hospital."

No. 12 is Dorcas II, but no. 11 has too much camber to be Bloody Mary.

 

Is the photo still around?
