wlaidlaw Posted September 12, 2015 Share #7765 Posted September 12, 2015 Wilson, Right car wrong Italian race Gerd Gerd, I think you would need a magnifying glass to find the difference between the Mille Miglia and Targa Florio. I think the main difference is in the way the back axle is located and the spec of the original Bristol engine (Mille Miglia BS1A Mk2 or 3: Targa Florio BS4 Mk2). I bear the scars of a Frazer Nash Le Mans Mk2 (BS4A Mk2 engine making 172 BHP), when I was driving one a few years ago in a rally wearing shorts in the south of France. I slipped on the slightly oily aluminium floor when getting out and my right leg pressed against the red hot exhaust manifold which runs along the side (no doors). It took about 9 months to heal.

gmo Posted September 13, 2015 Share #7766 Posted September 13, 2015 Mille Miglia indeed but seen the fact that it is apparently impossible to see that from the outside I let it up to Dunk and Wilson to decide who's going to give us the next car.

wlaidlaw Posted September 14, 2015 Share #7771 Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) Citroen DS? Chaperon or something like that. Maximilian, Close enough. Its full title is a Henri Chapron Citroen DS21 (although it now has a DS23 engine) Le Caddy. It supposedly was called this because of its Cadillac-like tail fins but that cannot be correct, as it was still called this when it had the original sloping Citroen rear wings. We think this may be the Paris Salon car from 1966. Around 15 of these cars were made. It is really just a two seater, as the rear is strictly for legless midgets.

wlaidlaw Posted September 14, 2015 Share #7773 Posted September 14, 2015 Just had a thought. Maybe the space behind the front seats was for carrying your golf clubs not people, hence the name "Le Caddy". Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.j.z Posted September 21, 2015 Share #7778 Posted September 21, 2015 Yes, a Jaguar E-Type V12. I knew it is too easy ;-) I think that also other E-Types have this but maybe there are subtle differences. So I leave it to Wilson to decide whether he wants to post. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted September 21, 2015 Share #7779 Posted September 21, 2015 I am in the middle of packing up to go back to the UK for the winter, so can I leave it to Manoleica. I am probably in a tiny minority in preferring driving the V12 E-Type to the 6 cylinder ones. I would even prefer a really good V12 (converted to fuel injection) to my brother's Eagle 6 cylinder E-type. That is a nice one you show with the proper wire wheels, rather than the ugly steel ones. I recall asking Jaguar on one of my visits to Brown's Lane in the early 1970's, why they did not offer the attractive Dunlop magnesium alloy wheels or Hallibrand Cobra type wheels as an option to the steel wheels, for those who could not be bothered with cleaning the spoked wheels or wanted more rigid wheels. The engineers I spoke to agreed with me but said they could not get the sales people to see sense. Admittedly neither the Dunlop nor the Hallibrand wheels are cheap. Welcome, dear visitor!

Photoskeptic Posted September 27, 2015 Share #7780 Posted September 27, 2015 My experience with magnesium wheels is that they break when you clip a curb (or anything else, for that matter). Magnesium is a fairly brittle material - though light weight. They do make the most wonderful sparks, however, when scraped along a barrier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
