got a higher res picture! You might be able to carjam it

dr.doolittle, Sep 11, 8:35pm
Looks like TRV to me.

gadgit3, Sep 11, 8:49pm
I think it's a 1963 Ferrari GTO

gadgit3, Sep 11, 8:52pm
It may have started life as a datsun 240z though. And now it's a kit car or built up.

Looks like an early Marcos to me.

fiatracer, Sep 11, 9:00pm
it's a Marcos.

fiatracer, Sep 11, 9:03pm
it certainly is not a "Porchse" "Willy's" or "TRV"

Supercharged Commodore engine!

fiatracer, Sep 11, 9:20pm
it's just a Marcos 1800GT isn't it! Or perhaps the 3 litre which had [I think] the volvo in line six. I remember there was one is Gisborne in the 70s. Where's trademe member Socram these days! He has one or more.

We know who these belong to don't we! (its the 3L Volvo engine/box)

Yep me too. One of the wooden chassis ones

morticia, Sep 11, 9:22pm
That's what the link I posted was, it looks the same in most respects, shape of door, windows, wheel arch.

fiatracer, Sep 11, 9:23pm
yes, not crazy, just not that common. Morgans also used some wood, as did many older cars. Wood is an excellent material so long as you can deal with the decomposition.

trogedon, Sep 11, 9:27pm
The woodworms get blown out at speed.

dr.doolittle, Sep 11, 9:34pm
Well at least wood never rusts.

The cars still butt-ugly no matter how you look at it.

They never had a wooden chassis, but some of the body panels were reinforced by a wooden frame on some models.

Mother was an E Type & father a Corvette.

I've been a passenger in that car around Hampden Downs. It goes alright.
