I was watching Michael Portillo's trip around Northern Ireland last night and was reminded of a car that I saw in the Transport Museum (a really good museum by the way, if you get the chance to visit) whilst the wife and I were over on a short break about 18 Months ago.
It is the DAWB 6 (yes I know, not the most inspiring title!), a one off car built by an engineer and a motor cycle racer back in the late 50's, early 60's.
I think it's a great looking car.
Anyway, here are the obligatory pics (not taken by me):
Google will bring up another dozen or so images if you ask it nicely

Yes, it does, and has hints of 60's Italiana too (Lancia, and Fiat Dino spring to mind).

Registered in 1934, so MOT and tax not actually needed. It seem all cars registered before 1971 come up as as being first registered in 1971.

Hi Morrisman,Registered in 1934, so MOT and tax not actually needed. It seem all cars registered before 1971 come up as as being first registered in 1971.
Just checked my 36 Morris 8 and that comes up as May 1936, Which is also wrong by the way!

What a beauty. Is it an SF 750? Or even an SFC?

bikes are not really my thing, but that is a beaut.
Thanks, it was a rather poor polyester tank SFC replica, original 750 SF, when I bougth it it was held together with ty-wraps and wire.
I made a frame for the fairing, and hinged fixings for the seat. If it would have had the original parts I would have kept it.
I knew this bike from almost new (I was 4 years old(!)) and always wanted it. I miss the soundtrack, very distinct sound because of the castiron skulls in the cilinderhead. Don't miss the cleaning and polishing alu, one evening with a toothbrush per wheel :-)

Very nice, I imagine quite similar to ride to a Norton Commando.
I had one of these about 15 years ago. I think I still have a few part laying around if you want them. Not much but I think there's an intercooler, some brake unions and a front strut brace. I was told the strut brace came off a works car, but it has no markings on it so who knows.

Not that secret, just off the Chertsey Road near Windlesham.
Interesting stuff though could have done without the inane commentary!
