Heinkel?

Yes, but interesting how how similar it is to the Isetta.

A Lexus IS250 SE-L - V6 petrol, 6-speed auto with flappy paddles on the wheel.

Not 'extended' her yet but plenty quick enough in 'normal' driving - and the paddles make for entertaining overtaking, but tbh they're a bit of a gimmick normally.

Sounds very nice.

Walked a fair few miles today, ending up at the Hebden Bridge car show. I didn't take many pics as it was persisting it down and I was juggling a phone dog lead and an ice lolly.

Some nice steam vehicles.

S nice of e types, a Lanci Stratos snd a lovely ferrari

There was a very nice Gordon Keeble and a nice blower Bentley but I think many stayed away due to the rain. The town was rammed with steam punks so no parking anywhere so parked out of town st the Blue Pig WMC which has its beer festival this weekend which I went to yesterday, 3 quid a pint

South Cerney show was fine yesterday, but today was a total washout. The ground was so wet, they couldn’t run any vehicles in the arena for fear of bogging down & wrecking the ground. Hopefully it will be ok tomorrow. Very few visitors due to the weather.

Nice to see one being used, the more so with the crazy prices they fetch nowadays.

I did take a close look at it, and it strikes me, that its a very simplistic design. Apart from the three dimensional upper rear body, every thing else is flat with simple bends. I recon one could knock the body out quite quickly.

The thing I did like was the front registration number plate, or lack thereof. Just some numbers and letters attached to a strip of steel.

I think it's got a modern(ish) engine in it. Because of the exhaust I think it's a Ford pre-crossflow. Nothing wrong with that as it keeps the car suable and on the road instead of holed up somewhere unused. :thumbup:

Interesting about the number plate. Lotus tried putting the numbers and letters on the black mesh rad grill. DOT said no (this was an ongoing fight) as the rules say 'An unbroken black background' the mesh didn't qualify.

I assume the Frazer has the chain drive system of 'gears'?

Could be, but AFAIK, the Meadows and the Gough 4 cylinder motors fitted to some of the TT Replica models did have four exhaust ports on that side. Don't know about the Anzani motors, but I think they were only used in the early cars. Frazer Nash cars were fitted with all sorts of motors by owners, both in period and since.

One more recent conversion has a highly modified Ford Model 'A' motor fitted. Some race footage at the end of this clip
