bhouse Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 A bit of a leap from Mercedes but CarpetStu has the correct answer and my congratulations! Voisin (French for neighbour) also made aeroplanes - including the world's first flying ambulance. Probably to take care of the people who passed out when they saw the cars... Quote

Captain Colonial Posted July 25, 2011 Author Posted July 25, 2011 Ah, OK. Close. But yeah, know what it is. Cool car, very unusual beneath the skin as well. Quote
Liam Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Deep Sanderson; edited to add it had two engines. One at the back driving the rear wheels and the other at the front doing guess what :Dedtited to add they were A series engines Quote
SootySport Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I'm useless at this game as well, I've seen this car in a photo whilst looking for other cars, but can't remember where. Deep Sanderson? is that what it's called. Quote
carpetstu Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 its full name is Deep Sanderson Twinny and was built in 1963 by Chris Lawrence. Some of the sales details below for those that are interested? Truly a rare opportunity to own the legendary 1963 Deep Sanderson ‘Twinny’. Originally designed and raced by Chris Lawrence of the renowned Lawrencetune fame, and Le Mans winner in 1962. Personally restored by Chris Lawrence in 2007/8 and raced by the man himself at the 2008 Goodwood Festival of speed. It not only achieved a terminal speed of 111mph, but also received unprecedented coverage in the national press and on the Internet. Powered by two 1,071cc Downton prepared engines, providing four wheel drive. Unique space frame chassis. Hand beaten aluminium body shell and much more besides. No expense has been spared in restoring this amazing machine to its former glory. Quote
