Liam Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Des is correct! Now try drop(s) remembering this is a french car. You might also like to consider location and who used to make tea cakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samcooke Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 It's a Couttin-Des Gouttes of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Well done Sam. Close enough. Cottin et Desgouttes. Lyon. Drops? Lionise? Just glad I didn't have to think of a clue for Cottin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samcooke Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 That's what I said. Kind of. I fear this may be a bit easy for the more grey haired amongst us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbaldbloke Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Without Googling I'm going to suggest this is a Lola T70 Spyder. Warm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Ayre Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Looks more Ginetta G11 / G12 ish on the front end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I don't think it's a T70. It looks an altogether smaller car. The grill looks too small, the lights aren't in the right place and the rear air intakes are wrong. Other than that, not a clue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samcooke Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 You're right - much smaller than a T70. Clue 1 : Variously powered by 2 litre BMW, Coventy Climax or BRM V8 in period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
