Thanks Rick, and I agree with you, but it's in customers hands now.
It's not a Velocar, but pretty cool none the less.

I keep looking for an old Prefect or Anglia frame and running gear that was left over from someone building a dragster using the body but I'm afraid that anything like that has be disposed of long ago.
There are a lot more Crosley's than there ever were British Fords over here so the chances of finding one are a whole lot better.

Indeed. It just stays glued to the road like a slot car.

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Always amused me such simple black/white photos of ordinary town's scenery from bygone era! There is nice atmosphere even nothing much is happened there. The first one is taken at periphery of some French town, as other, too (probably). For me, they looks quite romantic.[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Photo of old France! [/FONT]

The Ford Anglia, the old sit up and beg style, they're often used over here for hot rods using a 3.5 Rover engine (the one they bought the rights off GM/Buick), so you're not going to get a chassis from one of those cheap.
What about Bantam Motor Corp product, are they rare? I suppose they must be.

Hi Ludwig,
The Bantam manufactured cars are very rare here and priced accordingly. Many of the old Anglia's and Prefect's from the, as you put it so well, sit up and beg era had frames built for them over here when they were used for drag racing. Even the car used on the street often had homemade or after market frames due to the large engines with high horse power that were used.
There are a lot of Crosley's still available for a reasonable price. They are often in sad shape and economically unrestorable but perfect for a rebody.

Good visibility with that one. I think I would need time for the design to grow on me, but it might. Maybe.
Saw this on the H.A.M.B. site. looks like mahogany plywood instead of strip of mahogany. A very nice car.

Thank's Ludwig. I wondered what powered them and was going to look it up later. Here is a video of one being restored and running.
