Actualy had to look the up reference to the book to find out what a Ford Prefect and the book had in common as I'm not much of a reader.

Pictured would be a 49-53.

1963 Rochdale Olympic P2/P3, a nice fiberglass bodied English kit car with power from a Ford Cortina 1500GT, weighing about as much as a postage stamp...they'd flat out go.

Time for another mystery car, can you identify this retro roadster?

The TGMY's Mitsuoka EV Himiko is one snazzy looking machine. Hard to believe that a Mazda MX-5 chassis can hold over 150 batteries.

Kinda reminds me of the car my wife's dad had. Think it was built of a Continental.

Considering how utterly scary the rest of the Mitsuoka lineup is, its actually a looker. I'm guessing the battery capacity came from the wheelbase stretch, looks like somewhere between 18 and 20 inches behind the front axle center line.

You're up, what's next to mystify and confound us?

Oh Man! Its the Sherman/Kent Bugatti from the 70's, somewhere buried under all that unfortunate(but hand hammered)aluminum bodywork is a 1973 Lincoln Continental. One is supposed to still exist out of the two inflicted on the world, that's one too many in my book....blech!

Actually, it isn't known if the 2nd one was ever finished. And no one knows where the known finished one actually is.

Gotta love a good mystery!
