Name That Car
Re: Name That Car
With a Jet engine. From a time when the British were in the forefront of automotive design/inventions.
Rover clearly saw a future in this, they designed the engine room of the new P6 to carry a jet engine.

Re: Name That Car
It's a repro from a cut-up P4 Auntie Rover currently owned by Jools Holland and fitted with a Jaguar engine.
I can imagine him driving and having his passeger whistle very loudly to emulate the missing gas turbine engine.
All very 'Dan Dare' (if you're of a certain age)

No cheating
Re: Name That Car
Either Italian or French with Fiat 850 or Simca 1000 rear light clusters.
I would go for a Fiat derivate.

Re: Name That Car
It Looks like an MGB steering wheel.
So a little ferreting in t'internet (is that cheating?) leads me to suggest it's an experimental MGB, possibly like this:

Le monstre - a Cunningham Special based on the same chassis as the car behind. Was the first attempt of Briggs Cunningham to win Le Mans.

Re: Name That Car
Your to good according to the reg number based on a 1950 Cadillac
Re: Name That Car
From a buddy of mine who is a big Briggs Cunningham fan -
RockyIt took some guts to stake your reputation on that thing. Briggs (then living in CT) had connections with some Grumman Aircraft people in Bethpage, NY (Long Island). The Grumman guys did the design work on this – including wind tunnel testing. In the LeMans race, the stock 1950 Cadillac finished 10th and LeMonstre finished 11th.
