steed Posted May 3, 2013 Share #4903 Posted May 3, 2013 Kurtis? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted May 3, 2013 Share #4904 Posted May 3, 2013 Kurtis? Indeed a Kurtis 500S made by the Indy Roadster and Midget car builder Kurtis Kraft. My father used to describe these cars as looking like a pregnant shark playing a mouth organ. This one I think has a 6 litre Cadillac engine. I was talking to Chris, the driver of this car. He said he had more of less run out of brakes after half a lap of the old Nurburgring circuit. Now I don't mind driving cars with little braking on modern circuits with run off areas plus gravel traps and I am used to that with the drum braked Maserati 250S but drive round the Nordschliefe with the trees and steel Armco barriers - no thanks!

stuny Posted May 13, 2013 Share #4913 Posted May 13, 2013 Wilson - Around the right vintage, wrong marque, though I see why you made that guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted May 13, 2013 Share #4914 Posted May 13, 2013 Stuart, I am guessing by the colour, it must be French. I was going to go for a Talbot Lago 150C but I am sure the side of the engine compartment would have louvres. Of course some may have painted their italian or british car blue just to fool us Those polished discs ring a bell but my brain is not coughing up the answer.

stuny Posted May 13, 2013 Share #4917 Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Wilson - Nicely done. It's from 1938 and is the LM model, actually raced there. Your turn. Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted May 13, 2013 Share #4919 Posted May 13, 2013 Looks like a Nardi wheel from the late '50s to early '60s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted May 13, 2013 Share #4920 Posted May 13, 2013 Stuart, I am not sure if that is the original Nardi or the slightly larger diameter and thicker rimmed Richcrafted wheel. From more than a few inches away, they look identical. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
