pippy Posted August 26, 2016 Share #8987  Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) No, not the Ro80, Wilson. This model actually slightly predates the NSU and production ceased in '67 - the year the Ro80 was launched!  Like the NSU this vehicle also had an unusual choice (by today's automotive standards) of powerplant which was also of sub- one litre displacement. Over it's four year production span just under 30,000 were made in both short and (slightly) longer wheelbase versions. The one pictured is of the former type.  Another teaser showing the fairly unique and rather graceful (in my opinion) front wheelarch 'brow treatment;  Welcome, dear visitor!

pippy Posted August 26, 2016 Share #8989  Posted August 26, 2016 No, Wilson; the engine is in the front.  The model pictured is 'named' (numbered) after a fairly well-known endurance racing event owing to the links between the marque's involvement in numerous successes there......albeit not in the GC!...  Here's the (again, rather shapely) fuel-filler cap area and - perhaps - the giveaway rear light cluster;  Welcome, dear visitor!

pippy Posted August 26, 2016 Share #8991  Posted August 26, 2016 Congrats, Dunk. It is, indeed, as you say a Panhard 24CT - the Tigre variant of the short-wheelbase version.  Front-engined two-cylinder air-cooled 'boxer' motor put out a very healthy 50hp from it's 848cc unit which gave it a top speed of around 90mph (as compared to 32hp for VWs 1192cc four cylinder plant which topped out at 68).  The DB Panhard team had three class victories at La Sarthe as well as achieving much success in the Index of Performance category.  Snap of the whole shebang;  Welcome, dear visitor!

dkCambridgeshire Posted August 26, 2016 Share #8992  Posted August 26, 2016 Thank you Philip. Initially I also thought the car was an NSU.  Here's the next puzzle. The design was based on a common car chassis but named after the designer - and likely that several hundred were built. Can you please state the designer's name and the vehicle's function - both of which form the vehicle name/type.  The modified vehicle was designed and built in the UK.   Welcome, dear visitor!
