wlaidlaw Posted December 2, 2015 Share #8043  Posted December 2, 2015 I used to drive Ferrets at university OTC. They were quite fun. The Daimler armoured car was much less fun to drive with incredibly heavy steering and being very slow. I made myself very unpopular during summer exercises at Catterick, by getting the the armoured car bogged down halfway up to the turret by taking a "short cut" across a marsh.  Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 6, 2015 Share #8046  Posted December 6, 2015 Wilson  I've wanted an Abarth like this one for years, but they're not as affordable as they used to be.  Ernst  Fun to drive I should think! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted December 6, 2015 Share #8047  Posted December 6, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have never driven one of the four cylinder Fiat ones (750/850/1000) but certainly fun to drive. I went to buy a Steyr Puch 650SS (very similar to the 2 cyl Abarth 695) once but probably wisely decided against it and bought a BRM Lotus Elan instead. My father decided to buy my mother a Simca Abarth 1300 in the early 1960's but she just could not drive it (he thought it was great). Sadly it was sold the year before I learnt to drive, so I never had a go of it but it was replaced by a Mini Cooper, so that was OK. It was one of the first road cars to produce 100bhp/litre but you had to keep it between 5 and 7000 RPM all the time.  Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted December 8, 2015 Share #8049  Posted December 8, 2015 Simon,  Maybe either a G502 3/4 ton Dodge or G505 1/2 ton Dodge ca. 1943/4.  Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted December 10, 2015 Share #8052  Posted December 10, 2015 That looks like a standard Jeep (WillysMB/FordGPW). From the front shot, I thought it was the next size up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted December 11, 2015 Share #8053  Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Agreed … c.1942 MB Willys Jeep  dunk Edited December 11, 2015 by dkCambridgeshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalHeMan Posted December 11, 2015 Share #8054  Posted December 11, 2015 Yes, Wilson has it. Willys Jeep. Not sure of the exact year. The Dutch licensing body says 1960 but it's obviously older than that - presumably it entered the Netherlands for the first time then, 1942 is probably about right.

dkCambridgeshire Posted December 13, 2015 Share #8056  Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) GT40 Mk I but maybe a replica or continuation.  dunk Edited December 13, 2015 by dkCambridgeshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted December 14, 2015 Share #8057  Posted December 14, 2015 Well done Dunk. It is a GT40 originally MkI but now more a MkIII in spec, with a 5 litre engine, big brakes etc but still compared with that of a well known F1 designer, whose GT40 is made from titanium and carbon fibre, pretty genuine. It was in the next pit garage to us in the 2008 Old Timer GP Marathon at the Nurburgring, where they use a combination of both the old Nordschleife and the modern GP circuits. The GT40 was leading for most of the race but succumbed to fuel flow problems late on.  The race was red flagged just before the scheduled finish time due to a rain delayed start and therefore, exceeding the evening noise limits at the village at the bottom of the circuit. We came over the line in the lead in our Porsche 904/6 GTS but the organisers said the result would be the order in the lap before, where a lightweight E-Type was ahead of us but had crashed on the last lap. Technically it should have to have been running at the red flag and should therefore not have been counted in the results but it was German and we weren't, so the rule got waived.  This is quite a scary race due to the wide variation in car types. We were overtaking cars like the Steyr Puch 650 along the straight with an 80-90 MPH speed differential and it would have been more for the GT40.  Wilson   Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted December 14, 2015 Share #8060  Posted December 14, 2015 I would have guessed an 8HP Panhard et Levassor of around 1899 but no P&L on the radiator.  Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
