Captain Colonial Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 Swallow Is that a guess or a request? Quote
pistonbroke Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Thought about this for some time but couldn't find a rear end view of the Doritti to confirm Clives picky The other thing is all the Doretti pics I did find have metal (chrome) rubbing strip alongside So are we right ? Quote
Meakin Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Just done a quick search and think you may be right http://www.standardmotorclub.org.uk/images....032.JPG Quote
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Well done chaps! I tried to find a rear end view because the front is pretty distinctive. Not having the little fin-like appendages that I recall from the Earls Court Show (I was shorter in those days and the fins were nearer my eyes ) at which it was launched was a bonus as these made the identification easier. You'll have to fight amongst yourselves over who got the nearest answer first. Quote
Captain Colonial Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 No fight here, I stand aside and let pistonbroke take the honours! Quote
pistonbroke Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Nay , I cede to higher rank besides which I dont have another spot it to hand as yet Quote
