wlaidlaw Posted July 5, 2014 Share #6522 Posted July 5, 2014 Wilson, could this be the car we are looking for : 1911 Delaunay-Belleville 25hp HB6 Landaulette Regards Gerd Gerd, Correct here it is taken at a Bonhams auction, where we were bidding for another car. From memory it did not reach reserve. Given that it has the best part of a viennese palace mounted on it as coachwork, probably not the greatest drive. I have driven a 1912 25HP with a torpedo body and, whereas a perfectly pleasant car, it really had fallen behind Rolls Royce and is nothing like as nice to drive or as quick as the equivalent London to Edinburgh Silver Ghost. It might be different had any of the SMT (His Majesty the Tsar) 70HP cars survived but I am not sure any of them did. It was rumoured that Leonid Breshnev had one tucked away. Given that he arrested Raoul Wallenberg in Budapest just to get his car in 1945, it would not be unlikely. They ended making cars using proprietary Continental Motor Co. Inc. 3.5L 6 cal. engines, as late as 1948, where their total output was 4 cars due to the prohibitive French tax on cars over 2 litres. Your turn. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted July 5, 2014 Share #6525 Posted July 5, 2014 Looks like a Renault Dauphine, except I don’t think they did a two door. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted July 5, 2014 Share #6526 Posted July 5, 2014 We were talking to the driver of the VW/Audi GB entered VW Type 3 ex-works rally car on the Scottish Malts Rally this year. He kept muttering to his co-driver “I told you we should have taken the Audi Quattro Sport”. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted July 6, 2014 Share #6533 Posted July 6, 2014 I was hoping to have some photos of a very nice and quite rare car today but it is still en route to France. I have therefore run out of car photos, so may I pass the baton to anyone who has a crop of a car photo to post. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted July 7, 2014 Share #6535 Posted July 7, 2014 I think this is a 1968 Lotus Gold Leaf type 48 F2 car. I was working as a contractor for Lotus at the time, I tried to get them to given me a used one to replace my space frame type 41, with a Cosworth SCA engine, as they owed me a lot of money at the time. I failed and they gave me the not very nice type 62 GT instead. The 48 is a great car. My brother raced one in historic for a while. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted July 7, 2014 Share #6536 Posted July 7, 2014 Wilson, very close but as you worked for them I want the right type. There is an Austrian connection here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted July 7, 2014 Share #6538 Posted July 7, 2014 Then it is Jochen Rindt’s type 49B. The tyres in your first clip looked too narrow to be an F1 car, which is why I went for the type 48 F2. The suspension arms are basically the same in both cars. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted July 7, 2014 Share #6539 Posted July 7, 2014 Yes, it is a 49 R6 from 1970, driven by Jochen Rindt (he also had his deadly accident with such a car). They showed it at the F1 grand prix in Spielberg. It was driven by Gerhard Berger (Niki Lauda of course drove his old Ferrari and Wurz his Benetton). Your turn Wilson! Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted July 7, 2014 Share #6540 Posted July 7, 2014 About 12 or 13 years ago, when the owner was ill, I was supposed to drive a type 49 at Dijon, which I was very excited about. Turned up on Friday for first practice only to find it would not start. Another driver very kindly allowed me to do enough laps in his Brabham BT26, so that if we could get the Lotus working, I could compete on the Saturday and Sunday. We had a new Lucas Opus black box and “bomb” fuel pump sent out by 9am next day courier. On the Saturday morning after fitting them, the car still would not start or even splutter. It turned out that both Opus units, made by Lucas, the prince of darkness were dead, supposedly killed by a shorted crank sensor, so I never got to drive it. After I replaced the horrible Lucas Opus unit on the Judd/Porsche F2 engine in my Ralt RT40 with the prototype solid state map Lumenition unit, who were my sponsors, the engine never so much as misfired over the next 8 years. Here is your next one. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!
