Rona!d Posted February 29, 2012 Share #3063 Posted February 29, 2012 None of them. It is a car for every day use but was successful as a sportscar in it's class as well. No prototype, serial production. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted February 29, 2012 Share #3064 Posted February 29, 2012 Have done a little bit research in the picture itself... The instrument seems to be a Jaeger or Smiths rev counter from the late 50ies or newer, with the typical yellow and red painting. So I would opt for a british roadster. The left hand driving and the "GarageStyle" (american special interest magazine) bag on the passengers seat let me assume that it must a roadster exported to USA. Maybe I will find out a little bit more... Cheers, Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

British? Yes! Export? Must be, because of left hand driving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas.Pichler Posted February 29, 2012 Share #3069 Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Elva Courier Mk II? The dashboard (as far the photos I have digged out) is very close to those your wife has photographed! 1960 model, the 1961 model has moto meter (?) instruments instead of Jaeger/Smith.

Rona!d Posted February 29, 2012 Share #3070 Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) A Berkeley. Right, James! Can you name the model too? Andreas, no Elva, sorry. When Dr. No posted that nice little Trojan, I thought the Berkeley would be in good company;) Edited February 29, 2012 by Rona|d Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevidon Posted February 29, 2012 Share #3072 Posted February 29, 2012 I would guess it was the B90 since the later models had a much more uglified front end. It was a cute fragile little thing, but you really couldn't hurt yourself in it. I understand that Sttirling Moss drove one around the circuit flat out without touching the binders. We briefly had a Berkeley dealer in Westwood, CA south of the UCLA campus right next to the small local cemetery, which considering it's fate was probably appropriate.

Rona!d Posted February 29, 2012 Share #3073 Posted February 29, 2012 It´s an 1959 SE 328 Excelsior (click here for details). Shot this last weekend in Palm Springs. Anyway your turn! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevidon Posted February 29, 2012 Share #3075 Posted February 29, 2012 I believe it was also called the B90. The originals had Anzani engines which tended to scatter nether parts over the countryside. They then went to the Excelsior for production. I'm thinking about the next car to name. Thinking on it very hard. You guys are tough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted February 29, 2012 Share #3076 Posted February 29, 2012 I like the Elva more Cheers, Andreas 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted March 1, 2012 Share #3078 Posted March 1, 2012 I'm thinking early '50s, in the genre of an Allard, but this is not an Allard. It appears to be beautifully prepared. Hmmm. The amber directional lens might indicate newer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted March 1, 2012 Share #3079 Posted March 1, 2012 Could also be a kit car, some parts look quite familiar. Thought of a Panther Lima/Kallista first, but the fenders look different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevidon Posted March 1, 2012 Share #3080 Posted March 1, 2012 Neither an Allard, a Panther, nor a kit car it be. It was a sports car by a major player, albeit an uncommon model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
